The Sweet Spot is a contemporary romance told in first person in dual perspectives. Palmer Clark is a single mom when she meets baseball legend Cole who is new to town. Palmer wants a forever person but Cole is just passing through town and takes things day by day. Cole has just retired from the majors and and has an instant connection with Palmer. They start hanging out and take things from there. This was the first book I have read by Adriana Locke and it was fine. The romance was very sweet and it gave a small town feel. That said I am not really into small towns but this was enjoyable. The cover us gorgeous and thanks for the advance reader copy.

The book was so “sweet”. The characters were strong and likable, the writing was wonderful. Pretty low angst and an overall great read!

Fun, sweet, and entertaining!

This was such a cute, uplifting story that I thoroughly enjoyed.

The Sweet Spot was sweet and made me smile, with just the right amount of humor and emotion. I loved these two.
A beautifully written heartwarming story with a flawless blend of intoxicating chemistry, witty banter, small town charm, and interfering family members that I can’t wait to read about.
Palmer and Cole are two of the most wonderful characters I've had the pleasure of reading their story!
I've got to read more of Adriana Locke's work, because she absolutely killed it with this one!

Montlake,
Thank you for this approved eARC!.

I loved Cole and Palmer!! I cried and laugh so many times reading their story, an emotional roller coaster!! I love that the story gets you so deep that you can feel the many emotions that are in this story. Adriana Locke is one of my favorite authors and she never disappoints. This is another great book and I'm so happy I got lucky enough to get an early copy. I know everyone will enjoy it once published!

A beautifully written small-town romance between single mum Palmer Clark and retired MLB star, Colson "Cole" Beck.
From the very first meeting, I loved the banter between the two main characters and could almost feel the chemistry, which only developed further as the book progressed. This slightly angsty romance had me smiling throughout with a few tears thrown in for good measure.
A special mention goes to Palmer's son, Ethan, who stole my heart with his maturity and obvious love for his mum.

This book was so incredibly sweet and wholesome and filled with such loveable characters.

Ethan 🧡 You are a gem.

I laughed, I swooned, and I cried. I cried like I haven't cried while reading a book in awhile. Loved this. In the acknowledgements Adriana said "I hope you enjoyed this story and walk away smiling and feeling a little lighter." And that I did, with happy tears in my eyes 🥲.

I absolutely loved this book! I devoured Cole and Palmer’s story. So much heart and heat with these characters. Adriana Locke did it again drawing us in with relatable well developed characters and making us believe in love!

What a sweet book! Lovely cover and baseball analogy for a title! After that blurb I’m all in!

What did I like? This sure was a sweet read! Palmer is a single mom with a horrible history of love meets Cole a former baseball player. Sparks fly but Palmer’s resistance to his charms make for a fun story. I read the book in one sitting and was completely charmed.

Would I recommend or buy? I’d definitely love this stunner on my shelf. This book really has it all with very little angst! Palmer and Cole were a fun couple! Four stars!

I received a complimentary copy to read and voluntarily left this opinion!

Absolutely loved this book! Adriana Locke outdid herself once again. I laughed, cried, and swooned - basically I felt all the emotions. Palmer and Cole had great chemistry and worked so well together. Loved the relationship Palmer had with her son (who was hilarious I might add). Cole was a great hero with such a great backstory and personality. Palmer was such a strong heroine. I couldn't put the book down and when I was done I wanted to read it again.

Small Town single mom romance was very cute. Couldn't put it down!
