Last summer
readers were captivated by Stephanie Evanovich’s highly-anticipated New York
Times bestselling debut novel, Big Girl Panties. This summer, Evanovich is back
with THE SWEET SPOT, the sizzling
story of two of readers’ favorite characters from Big Girl Panties: Chase
Walker, the hunky professional baseball player, and his beautiful, curvy, and
exceptionally sassy wife Amanda.
Amanda is a
successful, levelheaded woman who built her restaurant from scratch. She’s
certainly not looking for a prince charming to sweep her off her feet. So when Chase, baseball’s golden boy, begins
to pursue her, she barely gives him the time of day. Her heart-shaped face and
big blue eyes stop him dead in his tracks and her lush, plus-size curves don’t
hurt either. And while Amanda’s used to celebrities and politicians dining at
the Cold Creek Grille, she just can’t stop staring at Chase—he’s hotness
personified.
At heart,
Chase is a monogamist who likes strong women, despite his playboy image. Amanda
is exactly the type he’s been looking to settle down with, but she won’t say
yes easily. From daily visits to the restaurant to extravagant flower arrangements,
Chase will stop at nothing to persuade her to go out with him—and he finally
succeeds!
For Amanda
their romance is all too good to be true, and something has got to give. Can
Chase really be this perfect? And then she discovers that squeaky-clean Chase
Walker has a spicy little kink. While readers of Big Girl Panties will remember
it quite well, Chase’s fans have no idea that off the field, he likes to
indulge in a little passionate spanking from time to time.
To her
surprise, Amanda discovers a naughty side she never knew she had. But then,
thanks to a tabloid, their secret comes to light and becomes the nation’s
favorite water-cooler gossip. Will Amanda give up a little bit of her
single-girl freedom for true love with a twist? Or will the pressure of Chase’s
stardom spell doom for this sexy couple?
THE SWEET SPOT is
an incredibly sexy and charming story filled with wit, fun, and extra-spicy
romance. This is the perfect follow-up to Big Girl Panties and undoubtedly a
great choice for summer reading.

Review by Marlene Engel
In
Stephanie Evanovich’s first book, Big
Girl Panties, we met Chase and Amanda Walker. So, if you’ve read that book then you know
what their relationship status is. But
in this book, Stephanie shows us how they met and how their relationship
evolved. As with the first book, the
author infuses the perfect amount of humor and wit throughout the book making
it a fun, laugh out loud read.
Amanda
is an independent, modern woman. She
doesn’t need a man to hold her hand through life. With hard work and determination she can do anything
she sets her mind to. But things change
the night that baseball superstar, Chase Walker, dines at Cold Creek … the
restaurant owned by Amanda. Of course it
was obvious how handsome he was, but Amanda knows that guys like these have women
hanging on them all the time. So when he
asks her on a date, she immediately turned him down. She didn’t want to be just another number in
the long list of women who must be in his life.
But this is Chase Walker we’re talking about. He’s used to getting what he wants and
refuses to give up until Amanda agrees to go on a date with him.
After
showing up regularly at Cold Creek and proving to Amanda that he’s not one to
back down quickly, she agrees to one date.
But Chase has a big secret. One
that he’s unsure how Amanda will react to it.
Will he confess it to Amanda? Or
will it be a relationship deal breaker if she finds out?
I
loved Ms. Evanovich’s first book, Big
Girl Panties and The Sweet Spot
was just as good! I loved getting to
know the adorable couple in the first book and then learning how they met in
the second one. With humor and the
perfect amount of spice, The Sweet Spot
is the best summer book! Grab your beach
bag and throw this book in. You won’t be
able to put it down until you hit the last page!
