The Sweet Spot

De: Stephanie Evanovich

Narrado por: Katie Schorr

A sizzling story of everyone’s favorite couple from amazing Stephanie Evanovich’s New York Times bestseller Big Girl Panties: hunky professional baseball player Chase Walker and his sassy wife Amanda.

When pro baseball player Chase Walker first meets Amanda at her restaurant, it’s love at first sight. While Amanda can’t help noticing the superstar with the Greek-god-build, he doesn’t have a chance of getting to first—or any other—base with her. A successful entrepreneur who’s built her business from scratch, Amanda doesn’t need a Prince Charming to sweep her off her feet. And a curvy girl who likes to cook and eat isn’t interested in being around the catty, stick-thin herd of females chasing Chase and his teammates.

But Chase isn’t about to strike out. A man who isn’t interested in playing the field, he’s a monogamist who wants an independent woman like Amanda. His hopes rally when she discovers that squeaky-clean Chase has a few sexy and very secret pre-game rituals that turn the smart, headstrong businesswoman on—and into his number one fan.

Then a tabloid discovers the truth and turns their spanking good fun into a late- night punchline. Is Amanda ready to let loose and swing for the fences? Or will the pressure of Chase’s stardom force them to call it quits?

The friction between the football player and his girlfriend

I loved the whole storyline I could just picture it in my mind when things happened to

The Sweet Spot

I absolutely loved this story! This is where Amanda Kohl met Chase Walker for the first time. I love that she took Chase to Vegas to get married. I love that they flew to Vegas to get married by Elvis, Marilyn Monroe and James Dean, so funny. I saw Big Girl Panties, and The Total Package, before hearing The Sweet Spot. I knew that she was only blackmailing him for him to realize how much that they were meant to be together.

Just not into abuse.

Would you try another book from Stephanie Evanovich and/or Katie Schorr?

Maybe. I liked Big Girl Panties and am currently reading/listening to The Total Package, which are fine. Her characters are likable enough and the writing style, is fine. They are starting to seem a little cliched in that the male is the studly Adonis that falls for a less attractive (or at least less thin) successful, yet insecure female.

Any additional comments?

I just couldn't get past the premise that anyone would find it acceptable, let alone arousing to be hit to the point of bruising or making her cry. I stuck with the book to the end, hoping that there would be some revelation that would make me understand. It never came.

Light heart and funny with a little kink

Any additional comments?

The book was smartly written, funny, with a hint of kink that was not over done. The hero is in love at first sight, even with snarky comments coming his way. I loved the book because he went for the curvy girl and made her believe and want more. The book left me wanting more from Stephanie Evanovich.

Cute but uneven

Some nice anticipation that culminates in a short, choppy fashion. The ending is abrupt and doesn't delivery the fairytale at all. Fingers crossed, we'll get to know Rupert and Catherine Cole in the next book. Chase and Amanda are just too predictable now.
