I've recently read the first two Keyes Sisters books and became quickly attached to these ladies. The time line for this book follows directly from the first and I found that the plot of this book was very similar to Sweet Talk. In many ways Sweet Spot seemed like a repeat performance. I do look forward to the third book when we will catch up with Jesse after 4 years have passed.

HOLY COW! I am hooked on this author and this series. At first when starting this book, I thought she was forcing the 2 together too fast, but I kept reading and WOW! I can't wait for the 3rd one. This series is AWESOME. I really like Susan Mallery's style of writing. I just started reading her books with the 1st in this series. I am a fan now! A great quick read.

Book 2 in the series, just as good as the first one! I'm looking forward to the next book.

Taken from the back of the book seeing as how I didn't realize this was the second book and haven't read the first book yet. But I absoutely loved this book! It touches on sticky family relationships, ex spouse relationships, teen age love, adult romance.. it's a well rounded book with something unexpected always popping up.
"Responsibility" should be Nicole Keye's middle name. After all, not many people would sacrifice heir 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 Nicol eis 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 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...

I liked this book. I love to follow a series and this one was very good, I would have loved a little more reference to the other sisters but other than that a great story and would recommend this to all who love to follow a series line.
This is the first series I've read by this author, I wasn't sure what to expect but what I got into wasn't exactly what read. I have a problem with Nicole's offish, unforgiving additude. I wasn't happy with her character in the first book in the series and her grudge holding was just as bad in this book. She did redeem herself a little but the scorn woman was just a little over the top. I fely that the situation would have been funnier if the author had softened Nicole's anger at Jesse and allowed Nicole to move away from the scow. I wished Nicole would have moved forward and opened her ears to Jesse's side instead of not listening at all. Nicole wanted Hawk to move on, but she wasn't one to move passed her own problems with her sisters. I guess when she took in Raoul, yet couldn't even look at Jesse when she needed help. Even though I didn't care for all the situations in the book I didn't quit reading, or regret reading it. It's and okay read, and I will finish reading the whole series in hopes everything will end in an up swing.
Wow, I could not put this book down.
Great book, really enjoyed.
Worth reading it to get to the third book in the series (Jesse's story). The guys in the book - Raoul and Hawk - were wonderfully developed but I felt that Nicole was obnoxious. While I appreciate a female character who is tough in word but really a softie, she just came off as whiny. The premise is great - raised her sister, cheating husband (and sister), taking in a boy without a home - but her attitude was a bit much. Her attitude towards the younger sister was ridiculous; I felt more sympathy for her family than I did for Nicole. Also, way too many real (and fake) pregnancies. Pretty unrealistic and since this was used in the other books in the series, it was way too formulaic.
I really enjoyed this book. It was my favorite of the three. Susan Mallery delivers.
This book was okay. It started out really well, and both lead characters came across as strong and vibrant people. However, very soon, Hawk started to lose his appeal. He was almost childish in his avoidance of his responsibilities. Not to mention the hypocrisy of some of his actions when dealing with his teenage daughter. I found it hard to believe he couldn't understand why his daughter did not choose to remain chaste when he himself had never chosen that option for himself.
Enjoyed!! Liked the series!!
Check out the Bakery Sisters series! Darling reads.
I really enjoyed this book. It is part of a trilogy by Susan Mallery. All three of the books are great. Sweet Talk and Sweet Trouble are equally as good as this one. This particular book is about one of the twins (Nicole Keyes) who owns the family bakery. She has a twin sister who was sent was at the age of 6 to be a convert pianist and is now back home to help her sister recover from surgery. I know you will enjoy all three books
