Sweet Spot

By: Stella Rhys

Narrated by: John Masterson, Cassandra Myles

Length: 8 hrs and 12 mins

Publisher's Summary

I'll be the first to admit that I live at extremes. After going 10 years locked in what felt like a dysfunctional marriage, I'm now decidedly boy-free. In nearly three years I've had no boyfriends, no flings, no dates, and no sex. For the sake of my dream career, the sacrifice has been easy.

At least it was.

Until he came along.

Lukas Hendricks. He's rude, gorgeous, arrogant - a stone-carved wall of muscle and distraction. He's everything I know to avoid but there's no avoiding your next-door neighbor. Oh yeah. The man now lives three steps from me and to make matters worse, he crashed into my life while I was relaxed in the tub - mortifying to say the least and it went something like this: I was exposed. He looked. He laughed.

And then I locked myself out.

In short, Lukas Hendricks was trouble from the start. And me?

I was - for the first time in years - about to be screwed.

Contains mature themes.

Story Review:
I've never read Stella Rhys before but this won't be the last time. I really enjoyed this story. It sucked me right in and I thought it was very maturely written with a good flow. I liked and was entertained by both main characters. There were also plenty of side characters. Some were good... some I hated, but I believe that was what the author aimed for.

Our hero of the story starts out as what you would call a typical playboy. The more you read, the more in depth you get of his character. You realize he is the way he is due to the things he went through in his past. I really ended up admiring him. When I heard his story I wanted to cry for him. I like that the past trauma wasn't the typical "girl did him wrong" story.

Our heroine also has a difficult past as well. Nothing as big as what Lukas went through and hers IS the typical boy did her wrong story and yet I understood why she didn't get out sooner. You'll understand when you read this.

This was a pretty entertaining book with a side of seriousness. I was highly entertained by Lukas's friends and would love to see them get their own book.

Sweet story. Great narration.

Loved Lucas and Lia’s story. This is a great love story with real life roadblocks. It was a pleasure listening to how they handle their issues and get to a beautiful ending.
Sweet story. Great narration. No cliffhangers. HEA.

Sweet, adorable read!

There wasn't a single thing I did not like about this book. It was perfectly sweet, cute, sexy, and sassy. This was the first book by Stella Rhys that I have read but definitely will not be the last. I look forward to reading her other books soon.

I listened to the audiobook and the narration was perfection. I do not think I have previously listened to anything narrated by John and Cassandra before but will be sure to keep an eye out for other works narrated by them!

Sweet, sexy and fun

Audio: Narrators – John Masterson and Cassandra Myles

OMG!!! These narrators did an incredible job!!! I couldn’t imagine anyone else giving such perfect voice to Lukas and Lia. John’s voice was so deep and melodic that I had flashbacks of voice overs from movies such as My Dog Skip and The Sandlot. Cassandra gave such sweet innocence and passion to Lia that I was pulled completely into the character. The fluctuations were spot on, the tone and rhythm never needing a moment to adjust to. I have definitely found two new narrators to stalk…I mean enjoy.


This was such a sweet, fun, sexy read with much more depth than I was expecting.
Lia is working hard on getting her business started and she knows that having a relationship will only get in the way of that endeavor. Unfortunately, her new neighbor is just too much temptation. Deciding to do a one and done, she finally yields to Lukas’ pull. In the morning, things will return to business as usual.

Lukas was never expecting all that was Lia when he first met her in the hallway. Although, there was quite a bit to see at the time. Now that he’s had Lia, he’s determined to keep having her but she’s a prickly little thing and suddenly he finds himself intrigued, and liking it.

I loved this couple so much! They each had more than what initially was laid out and that made for a bit of an emotional pull the further into the story I went. These characters were very well developed and I was totally invested in them and their future.

The steam factor here was melt-your-kindle hot and Lukas amps up the heat with his dirty talking ways. Whew! Try listening to that while driving down the interstate!

I was a bit confused at how the end was suddenly upon me and I felt as though I had missed something in regards to the “villain” in this story. I’m curious if his role isn’t more fully played out in another book? As this is my first book by this author I’m unsure what all this series entails but I’ll certainly be checking to see if Lukas’ sister Tess has her own story.

Hot sexy story

Lucas and Lia are an unlikely couple... He likes to play the field and she keeps to herself until she opened the door. He is a realtor and she is starting a candy business, perfect. They both have troubled pasts however. This is my first story by this shutout and both of these narrators and it won’t be last of any them. Thanks to a great read and listen.

Sweet Story and Great narration!

This was my first Stella Rhys's book. This story is well written and the storyline is filled with hilarious and steamy scenes, but also with more depth and drama than I've expected. I love this story. I really love Luckas and Lia's story. Their chemistry is strong.I love the beautiful HEA. I also liked the secondary characters and I'm looking forward to listen to the next story in the Series. The narration was great and I really enjoyed my listening.

Loved it

Sweet Spot by Stella Rhys was a fun, steamy novel that had me hooked til the end. I absolutely loved this enemies to lovers story. This novel had it all, hot steamy scenes, some angst, romance, friendship, great characters and so much more. It was emotional at times and then downright funny at other times. Lucas and Lia were so different yet so perfect together. They were both complex well developed characters with issues but who learned to lean on each other for support.
I listened to the audible version of this novel and it was amazing. John Masterson and Cassandra Myles were perfect together and they did justice to these characters. Apart from their voices blending well together, they were able to bring the different characters to life.
This was my first Stella Rhys novel but it won't be my last. I loved it and I can't wait for the next book in the series. This was a fantastic story.

Great Read

Lia and Lukas met and they were attracted to each other. Let the fun begin, Lia is fighting her attraction by going on an online date. Lukas is determined to be the one she wants and needs. They have both been through traumatic situations and they have to learn to move on. This book is full of drama and hot scenes. The narrators are great and pulled you into the story. I was voluntarily provided this review copy audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator.
