The Sweet Spot

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. (July)
