Sweet Spot

By: Susan Mallery

Narrated by: Therese Plummer

"Responsibility" should be Nicole Keyes' middle name. After all, not many people would sacrifice their lives to run the family bakery and raise a younger sibling. But with Nicole's twin sister now blissfully married and her younger sis turning out more femme fatale than girl-next-door, super reliable Nicole is getting sick of putting everyone else's needs first!

Enter Hawk. The deliciously sexy former NFL player offers Nicole a taste of the freedom she craves. Hawk may know the way, blindfolded, to her sweet spot, but Nicole's not about to let him get close enough to break her heart. Of course, she might not have a choice in the matter if Hawk's past keeps getting in the way of their present....

Critic reviews

"When you think of passion, drama, and heartwarming stories, think Susan Mallery." ( Romantic Times)

Fun,

Therese Plummer brings out the fun and the sarcasm of Nicole. The characters are real and believable. I physically read this series when it first came out. It was great to catch up with these characters again.

Sweet Spot

Really like this series and absolutely love the narrator! Her voice is so pleasant to listen to and she brings such depth to each of the characters. A really great story.

Good story, horrible narrator!

I liked the story, but the narrator was so awful I almost turned it off!

Definitely a very sweet spot

My friends would enjoy this book i
Love the story she always gives us value

SWEET SPOT

I love all her books. I can't get enough.

Not great

Any additional comments?

Sweet Spot is somewhat better than Sweet Talk, the first book in this series. The main character, Nicole, is more likeable in this book and much more relatable. But the characters in this series seem dysfunctional. They don’t communicate well and lack understanding of human nature. They get irrationally angry with each other.

And I still have a problem with the narration. While Plummer does a better job narrating Nicole than Claire, she still uses a baby voice for Hawk’s teenage daughter which is extremely grating. Teenagers do not sound like babies. Their voices are not much different in pitch than adults. She ends up sounding even more obnoxious than she is written – which was pretty standard teenage brat.

Great story

Would you listen to Sweet Spot again? Why?

I love this series. I loved the whole thing I would read it again.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Sweet Spot?

All of it. It was so life lik

Have you listened to any of Therese Plummer’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

As good as the others

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

no

enjoyed

So far I have loved all of S Mallery books
I was not disappointed with this one. It would be nice if she could turn out more books in a shorter period of time. This was not as good as the Buchanan series, but it was a good listen

Excellent!

I read the other 2 books in this series 1st and thought I hated Nicole. She actually turned out to be my favorite sister.

SWEET SPOT

This was a good book it stayed with the Jesse and Clare. And helped Nicole find herself and the fact that she was a good friend to Rauol and help him become the person he was meant to be and being his family that he never had. Hawk of course sounded like a hunk but he also sounded like a butthead because he had the ego of a football player. But in the end they all made it and if you read the Fool's Gold Series Finding Perfect you will find Rauol 20 years later and Hawk and Nicole still in Rauol's life.
