The Sweet Spot

by Stephanie Evanovich

"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?"--

*I received an Advanced Readers Copy for free in exchange for an honest review.*
I enjoyed reading this book. I usually like fast-paced books. This one wasn't fast-paced but it was good book overall. I love Chase's character so much. He is so persistent in dating Amanda and he is very sweet and lovable. He does have one flaw that I don't really like. If you have read Big Girl Panties then you know what that flaw is. I personally didn't like it so much, especially because I could relate it to Fifty Shades Of Grey in a way.

I love Amanda! She is definitely my favorite character. She frustrates me to no end but I love her come backs and how she handles Chase. She shows more of her true colors in Big Girl Panties and I love her character more on that book than this one.

If you are looking for a not-so-fast-paced read with descriptive sex scenes and come backs, then this book is for you. I personally paid more attention to Chase's sweet side because I fell in love with that side, I really did. All of the nice things he does for Amanda...perfect.

Didn't really like this. I loved Big Girl Panties, and loved Chase & Amanda but it's always awkward to go backwards and learn someone's story when you see them as this perfect couple. It was like opening a can of worms you didn't really want to see in to.

I couldn't get in to it at all, and I didn't like the 50-Shades inspired twist, either.

DNFed.
