The Sweet Spot

fullDescription

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?

   • content: The voices of Amanda, a successful restaurant owner, and Chase, a sexy baseball player, aren't always discernable from each other during their bantering. But Schorr's crisp diction, varied intonations, and timing bring across the flirtatiousness of their verbal sparring, which often turns into naughty physical playfulness as the characters become romantically involved. Though the plot is somewhat meandering, Schorr's flowing, effectively modulated narration highlights the sexy and dramatic moments, keeping the listening experience lively and engaging.

     Starred review from August 4, 2014
     It's easy to fall in love with this flirty, swoon-worthy tale of the vivacious couple readers first met in 2013's Big Girl Panties. One witty exchange is all it takes to have pro baseball player Chase Walker head over heels for super-hot restaurant owner Amanda Cole. Amanda fights her attraction to Chase until she runs out of excuses, but she still wonders whether he has a hidden flaw. After a lively jousting session turns to verbal foreplay and then to a madly erotic spanking lovemaking all-nighter, the two swoon through a series of heartfelt discussions and tantalizing erotic escapades. Then a video of their private romps goes viral, and the ensuing scandal could tear them apart. Evanovich entertains with plentiful humor and appeals to the reader's romantic side. Comedy, passion, and an irresistible couple make for a home run read.

     A restaurant owner falls for a baseball hunk with asurprising secret in this breezy romance from Evanovich (Big Girl Panties,2013).Amanda Cole is doing just fine on her own, so she barely blinks when sports stud Chase Walker strolls into her restaurant. She's notinterested in being a baseball girlfriend, but Chase has other ideas. He's willingto show up at her restaurant every day until Amanda agrees to give him a chance-andonce she does, she falls hard. Chase is sweet, successful and pretty muchperfect-but his out-of-the-box sexual preferences come as a surprise. Whentheir private life suddenly becomes very public, the ensuing press kerfufflemakes Amanda rethink their entire relationship. Can she accept Chase for who heis, in and out of the bedroom? The answer most likely won't surprise you, butthat's no problem. Fans of Evanovich's debut, where these characters firstappear, know the two end up together anyway. The fun comes from their journeyto the altar, and there's plenty of conflict (and more than one blush-worthysex scene) along the way. Chase's domineering personality and preferences can sometimes make him seem more like a growling alpha male than a sexy romantic hero, but for the most part, he comes off as a loving partner. Meanwhile, Amanda's sassy retorts, her frequently mentioned curvy figure and her believable concerns make her an appealing heroine. A sports-filled romance full of steamy sex scenes that will please Evanovich'sfans.

     Evanovich returns with a novel that nicely echoes her debut, Big Girl Panties, which made the New York Times extended best sellers list. Pro baseball player Chase Walker falls instantly for Amanda when he spots her in a restaurant, but she's an independent-minded entrepreneur uninterested in competing with the skinny groupies surrounding Chase. With a 150,000-copy first printing and a five-city tour to Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, and Philadelphia.
