Four years ago, he gave his heart to a rookie pitcher and struck out. Now, they have a second chance to get things right.
No longer living on the streets and surrounded by men who supported him, Cody Marshall’s life was finally looking up. He hadn’t expected to hook up with anyone on his first spring training trip, but there was something about Nick Stone that called to him. The chemistry was instant and intense. Cody finally allowed himself to believe he could have something good.
And then, Nick left…
Nick’s spent the first four years as a professional ball player trying to prove he deserves his spot on the roster. His biggest goal is to finally step out of the shadow of his father’s legendary career. He hasn’t forgotten the one person who made him feel alive and seen, nor has he forgiven himself for breaking both their hearts.
When he sees Cody at the front of the team bus with the rest of the staff, he knows he won’t be able to turn him away again. Now, they have to find the sweet spot between their dreams and desires.
Sweet Spot is the fourth book in the Homeruns series, previously released under the pen name Sloan Johnson

My Rating - Stars!
This time around we get Nick and Cody's story.
They started something years ago, but now they are back at Spring Training together. Nick's reunion with Cody isn't so easy. Cody's still hurting, angry and sad, that Nick dropped him four years ago.
Nick's the coach's son, so he has a mess in front of him. Either the coaching staff is too tough on him, or people assume he's only had success because of his father. It's a tough role. And, as a baseball fan, I appreciate this aspect a lot. I've seen it time and time again, so I love that the author uses this in their novel.
They have to deal with an ass of a teammate who we hated in the past. They have to deal with Nick's mental block. And they have to deal with being together again, as well as coming out.
Their story includes some homophobia, a hate crime, some understanding, and some forgiveness. There are some tough to read moments, but it's also sweet and tender, as these two men are perfect for each other.

I absolutely love the baseball compound that Drew and the guys own. They're all supportive and loving to each other and I adore the way they took in Cody. Love it. In general, I enjoy every moment of this big group of friends and teammates throughout this series.
And, yes, Nick and Cody are hot together!
I love Sweet Spot. This entire series is one of my guilty pleasures. I have read them all many times and am thrilled that Quinn Ward is re-releasing them. If you haven't yet read them, so do. They are fantastic!
