Sweet Spot

Roseville Ramblers #3

by Staci Hart

I should absolutely, under no circumstance develop a crush on my co-worker--the grumpy, wolf-daddy, much older high school baseball coach.

First problem? He's twenty years older than me. Second? I've never even been kissed. Third? When I ask him to teach me, he said yes.

In my defense, Grey Brooks is a great coach. As an elementary school librarian, I know more about books than swinging hammers or baseball bats. I thought I was a lost cause, but from showing me how to throw a baseball to fixing up my rickety old house, all he does is teach me. And somewhere between the lessons and the laughter, we become friends. So asking him to teach me to kiss...etc, just makes sense. Right? Right?

He makes rules. Keep it casual. Keep it secret. Keep the feels in check.

But in a small town where everyone's watching, nothing stays secret for long. Every rule we break blurs the line between lessons and love, the rumors are getting louder, and Grey thinks he's going to ruin me.

He might be right. But not for the reasons he thinks.

Because there's more than gossip hiding in Roseville. And by the time I see the danger coming, the only person who can save me is the one everyone says I should stay away from.

About the author

I was the kid who stayed inside to read.

As a four-eyed nerd with a bad perm, I was no one’s dodgeball pick, but I had a lot of friends. Frodo and Bilbo, for instance. Kristy, Stacey, Claudia and the gang (iykyk). Once, in the third grade, I wrote a teen murder mystery inspired by Christopher Pike. On solving my mystery in twelve pages, I decided I was a terrible writer and should never, ever do that again.

Fortunately, I didn’t take my own advice.

I write romance for that feeling you get at the end, like you’re standing on top of a mountain with a backpack full of hundred dollar bills. I write romcoms because is there anything better than banter and grand gestures? I write because I love to create and I love words. I love books, and I love stretching my imagination. I love love, and if you do too, bring your coffee and have a seat. I think we’re gonna be friends.

This book by Staci Hart had me up in titters! From Molly saying she didn’t know her pussy could sweat to her being a disaster at softball 🤣. If you’ve ever watched Grey’s Anatomy, you’ll picture Lexi telling Sloane “teach me, teach me, teach me” over and over again while stripping and him crumpling at her feet, when you read this book.

Molly had to get away from her parents. My god, it was just downright creepy how suffocating they were so I’d want to get away too! She’s 24 and is plenty ready to be on her own so she buys this VERY old and run down home. Sadly it’s falling apart and she has no idea what she’s doing. Luckily her softball coach, older McDaddy hottie is there to save the day 😉. Grey tries to convince himself he’s just looking out for her and Molly figures, “hmm 🤔 since you’re such a good coach, teach me how to drink” Molly has never had alcohol so she turns to him for advice. And THEN, since she’s so impressed with how fun and safe he made the drinking she’s like “hmm 🤔 how about you teach me the kissing! Or wait! Better yet how about you teach me the sex!”

So poor Grey does everything he can to resist- age gap and all but Molly set her sights on him so there’s no success there. I was so annoyed at the damn town. Just ew 😂.

The ending gives you a little twist but I will not spoil a thing! I highly recommend this book!

Thank you Staci Hart and Good Girls PR for this amazing opportunity to read this book in exchange from my honest review!

🍑 eARC Review: Sweet Spot by Staci Hart

“ I must look like I’m starving, I’m sure, and not for breakfast. I mean, not unless breakfast is kielbasa a’la Greyson Mchotbooty. Serve it with a side of fertilized eggs and my buttered up, toasted heart.”

Molly finally escapes the suffocating control of her parents and decides to move away to a small town and take the librarian job at the local elementary school. She quickly learns she has been missing out on so many things while under her parents thumb, and she decides it’s time to try all the things she never got to. She joins the Teacher’s Softball league, where it’s quickly made clear she’s never thrown a ball a day in her life, and Coach Grey decides he will give her some lessons. Although she isn’t running off to join a minor league, she realizes she CAN do this and she can do things she never thought she would. Then she gets this crazy idea that maybe Coach Grey can teach her other things like drinking, smoking, and maybe even teach her how to kiss, and etc. 😉 Coach Grey is the town favorite, a stand up guy, a local, and someone who has been through a lot and deeply adored. Molly trust him explicitly and she can’t think of anyone better to experience her first with. Doesn’t hurt they both got this hot smoking tension between them. 

As things are heating up between Molly and Grey, she is slowly getting the feeling that her parents are keeping something from her. Not only is she dealing with that, but the town finds out about their little romance and the rumors, side eyes and judgements start flying. As they are trying to deal with Molly’s parents, the looming secret, and the town trying to break them apart, they don’t see the real threat coming until it’s too late. After Grey rescues Molly, the town finally gives them a chance to breathe, hell bent on discovering more info in the latest scandal. Grey and Molly finally get to start living their life and building their new normal. 

💕 What I Loved:
• I was hooked from the first page of this book because Molly is just so lovable and had me giggling in my seat with her sunshine personality and can do attitude. I really loved being inside her head and hearing all her inner dialogue and how sometimes what she thought, also slipped out.

• This book literally had me rolling over laughing between the banter, the sass, the inner thoughts, the RACCOONS🦝, and all the other little moments between Molly and Grey.

• Wolf daddy Grey has my whole heart and the way he was written, I felt like I could visualize every inch of his body as Molly was looking at it. He gives off the typical alpha vibes but you can quickly see, he’s got a huge soft spot, especially when it comes to Molly. I DEVOUR the type of MMC who is grumpy with everyone else but the FMC. 

• You give me a slow burn, forbidden, can’t stay away type of romance, and I will grovel every single time. This book was written exceptionally well with making sure it kept me longing for more and more. I mean, I stayed up till 2am reading one night because I had to know what was going to happen next!

• Although I love a hot steamy romance, which this book gave, it got even better toward the end with the massive twist of events and the suspense! The threat that ends up coming, I NEVER SUSPECTED IT. My mouth DROPPED. I was sitting there for a few minutes thinking W T F.


📚Is it for you?
If you love a small town romance, with slow burn, teach me, touch her and be unalived type of vibes…you HAVE to read this book! The forbidden aspect and the age gap gives it that extra little spice that kept me turning every page. I can’t forget to mention THE SPICE this book has is TOP TIER. I wasn’t expecting so much going into it, but whewww, it DELIVERED 🥵

Did I just read the hottest book Staci Hart has ever written? I think so! And what makes Sweet Spot even hotter is the slow burn that comes with the spice! This extremely sexy age gap forbidden romance hit the right feeling every single time. The latest emotional adventure in Roseville delivers heartache and angst so beautifully. I am obsessed with Coach Grey. So tortured, so grumpy, so alpha, so perfect. And I am equally in love with our sweet but sassy librarian, Molly.

⚾️ age gap ( he is 44, she is 24)
⚾️ workplace romance ( both works in the same school)
⚾️ found family
⚾️ super spicy
⚾️ forbidden romance
⚾️ put me in ,coach!
⚾️ small town romance

Molly has finally moved out of her overbearing parents' house ( and something similar to emotional control) and found her first job as a librarian in the cozy small town of Roseville. She has also bought a house in desperate need for renovation. Baseball coach Grey Brooks has a stellar reputation in the town as the perfect gentleman because he takes care of people. Molly thinks he will be the perfect coach. For her school softball team performance. But when he insists on helping her in her home renovation and they become friends .she proposed a different kind of coaching. In seduction. Grey knows he is going to hell but he wants her too. Will this be a scandal that will bring them down?

Roseville is such a pretty place with some awesome people but like any small town, it has nosey judgmental people. Grey and Molly are forbidden and it breaks my heart to see them getting attacked and disrespected just because they fell in love despite their age gap. Grey can be complicated because his past isn't wholesome. And he was afraid that his love will make people drag Molly through the proverbial mud. That made him run and hide too. But I am so glad that very soon he realised that he cannot live without her and he vowed to by her side. Their ordeal definitely didn't end there. But Molly won my heart with her silent strength and fierceness and determination. Grey could have been all epic level of protective and possessive but he couldn't win the battle if Molly didn’t stand her ground. Her parents tried to manipulate her in name of saving her and she fought valiantly for her rights and needs. Daddy Grey is just so delicious and their coaching sessions will set your kindle on fire. Staci Hart always brings out such intense emotions with her heartfelt writing. I am obsessed with Grey and Molly. With every single swoony, scorching hot, heartwarming and happily ever after moment.

You hit the sweet spot every time girl... every time!

From the moment I read the dedication,

"To everyone who's ever wanted private lessons from a man with big hands and a filthy mouth. Same girl, same."

I knew I was going to LOVE this book. But how could I not love it... I'm not sure I've ever read a Staci Hart book I didn't give five stars. She's my first author crush and she's still got it, thirty+ books later. Plus, Sweet Spot, is book three in the Roseville Ramblers series and it is a series to love.

I didn't read Sweet Spot, as much as I inhaled it. I'm very grateful to be given an ARC copy to review, and in a very sad time in my life, this was exactly the escape I needed.

There were so many parts that I found myself giggling (so many dirty names in the construction industry!), guffawing (the racoons, the gummies!), and groaning (quietly, as I was on a plane while reading a good part of it) in. For all her innocence, Molly is a very strong young woman who knows exactly what she wants... and what she wants is Greyson, or as she calls him Coach Greyson Brooks McHotbooty, Wolf Daddy, Equire....

Hart writes baseball like a woman who actually loves the game. I love that both the Roseville Men's team and the teachers team are made up of ordinary ragtag folk who play ball for the fun of it. What wasn't fun was how mean-hearted so many of Roseville's town folk were. But, they came around. Still, I'm not sure I can forgive them quite yet.

In all honesty, the fact that that Grey and Molly have twenty years separating them... I didn't think it was such a big deal (could be my own string of older men I had relationships with in my younger years... yes girl, yes, there is much to be said about being schooled by experienced man). Oh and her parents, particularly her father... so controlling! Through it all though, Molly maintains her genuine kindness and wonder at life. She is sunshine in human form.

I don't want to spoil the book for you, but there are a couple of big surprises in the book, one sweet and lovely, the other, not so much. This book was so worth the read, and as soon as the book is released (yes, it's a given I must own all of Staci's books and have read them all at least twice) I feel the need to read it again, so I can savour the taste of this divine story again, instead of inhaling it in a feeding frenzy. Well done Ms. Hart!

[Michelle Brashars · Rating 5 out of 5]

Sweet Spot by Staci Hart is the third book in her Roseville Ramblers series and I’m SO EXCITED that it’s Molly and Grey’s book!!! Molly is newer to town and works as the school librarian, also best friends with Cass from the last book! We have our friend group that consists of Jessa, Remy, Cass, Wilder, Molly, Greyson, Shelby, and Tate. They’re such a fun group and I love them all being there for eachother!!! Grey is the oldest of them all and he also works at the school teaching shop and being the baseball coach. These two cuties are attracted to each other from the jump, but Grey stays away because he’s 20 years older and Molly has been sheltered and never had a relationship, or even been kissed, so she’s out of her depth. When the teachers at the school start a baseball group, Molly joins up despite not having experience. Grey agrees to give her extra help and the find they really like spending time together and get closer. Then Molly enlists his help in “coaching” her through other things, which leads to coaching her in kissing and other sexy times. Their chemistry is absolute FIRE 🔥 in and out of the bedroom. Their personalities mesh so well. Grey is gruff, but kind and sweet and protective. Molly is super sweet and funny. Their relationship flows and changes so naturally, thanks to wonderful writing. Grey literally cannot say no to Molly so he’s up for everything she asks. It’s so hot. THEY ARE SO HOT. The spice is spicing in this book 🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵
I laughed my ass off while reading this one AND cried because their love is sweet and tender. Molly is living life for the first time and Grey being there helping her and standing in awe is just too much 🥹🥹🥹Guys, I just love this series so much. I am so so excited for the next book!!!!!
Infinity stars for McHotbooty!!!!

ARC provided by the author in exchange for an honest review.


I’m honestly still buzzing after finishing Sweet Spot. I was lucky enough to get an ARC from Staci Hart herself, and I have to say—I devoured this book in less than a day. Like, couldn’t-put-it-down, ignored-all-responsibilities kind of read. This is definitely one of my favorites from her, and probably my favorite in the Roseville Ramblers series (at least for now). I connected with Molly and Grey instantly—their chemistry is just there from page one. You don’t have to wait for it, you feel it right away.

And yes, this is a age-gap romance (20 years)—but Staci works it like nobody’s business. Seriously, she made me completely fall in love with this couple. Watching them actually fall in love as the story unfolds? So satisfying. It’s not all smooth sailing either—there’s drama, so many emotions, and even a bit of suspense woven in. But let’s talk about what Sweet Spot really delivers on: this couple absolutely BURNS THE PAGES. Holy moly, the steam between these two!!! I was living for every single moment of it.

And that ending? I was literally at the edge of my seat with everything going on. It wrapped things up beautifully while still leaving me wanting more. So yeah—if you enjoy Staci Hart’s writing and loved the first two installments in the series, you need to check this one out because it’s pure gold. And after that little tease at the end? I cannot wait for the next book and couple!

Sweet Spot had a really cute premise. It had the small town vibes, a big cast of characters and a romance that should’ve been sweet and easy to fall into. Unfortunately, it ended up being one of those books where I kept waiting for the spark to show up and it never really did.

Molly and Grey had potential. But most of the time their chemistry felt more told than shown and I never fully bought into the romance. Their banter had moments but nothing that made me sit up and go okay fine, I ship it.

Another issue for me was that this is book three in a series and you can definitely feel it. There are a lot of side characters and existing relationships floating around and if you haven’t read the earlier books it can feel like you’ve walked into the middle of a group conversation where everyone already knows each other. Instead of adding richness to the story, the constant cameos and references just made things feel cluttered.

The story moves but not in a way that builds tension, it's more in a things are happening but I’m not emotionally invested kind of way. For a romance, that’s a bit of a problem because by the time the relationship deepens, I still felt like I barely knew why these two people were supposed to be each other’s person.

All that said, the writing itself is easy to read and the small town setting is cosy. If you’re already invested in the Roseville Ramblers world, you might enjoy revisiting the characters. The cover is really pretty too!

Sweet Spot is book three in the Roseville Ramblers series by Staci Hart, and when I say ‘you are going to want to read this book’, I am not exaggerating!

Cassie is new to town, and enjoying the feeling of being independent from her parents. All her life she has been made to feel like she needs to follow their rules, live like they ask, and it's been smothering. So she purchases a doer-upper, and is determined to fix it up to be her home.

Grey is the school and local team coach, he is moody, stubborn and much older than Cassie. He oozes a vibe that intrigues her, and despite the age-gap, she is very much drawn in. (Like little Red Riding Hood to the wolf! But Grey is a total silver fox!) 😉

Cassie joins the teachers team to push herself out of her confort zone, and Grey gives her some additional coaching. Cassie then offers him a proposal to coach her in other areas of her life; drinking, kissing etc. And what starts out innocent soon turns to pure fire.

Grey is reserved, hesitant, too afraid to be the talk of the town and bring shame to his name and Cassie. But there's something about the young beauty that has him hooked and refusing to let go.

The story is pure spice, with lots of fun and light-hearted moments. Their romance and love scenes are cute, and I was completely smitten with Grey.

If you haven't read the first two books, you don't have to, but they do create the full effect, and I cannot wait to see what Hart writes next.

This book is perfect for those who love small-town romances, age-gaps and books which are fun and flirty. You won't want to put it down. Grey is something else, and like Cassie you cannot help but be completely drawn to him.

Sweet Spot is the third in the Roseville Rambler series. Molly has finally been able to move out of her parents home and get her own place. She not only moved out but moved to a new town bought a home and started a new job at the town's elementary school as a librarian. She becomes friendly and close to the teacher Cass(heroine from book two #Hot Shot).
Cass encourages Molly to join the teachers softball team where she can get to know others. Molly is as innocent as they come, at twenty four years old she is a virgin and has never been kissed.
Enters Grey an older man who is the coach of high school baseball team and is also the coach of this new team been put together. We hear Molly inner dialogue been fascinated with Grey although she acknowledges to herself of the age gap. As Molly is trying out for the team she confesses to them she never played softball and it showed. Grey tells her he will give her private lessons to get her up to speed. As they begin to spend time together and she get's more comfortable with him she proposition to give her lessons in romance/how to kiss. He agrees to help her out if they stick to rules and that they will not fall for each other but as we know with these tropes/story the couple do fall for each other. We get to catch up with Cass Remy and the gang. We not only get a rom com but we also get a twist of mystery/adventure all wrapped up in one.

Grey and Molly are the perfect pairing of grumpy rainstorm meets ray of sunshine and is immediately swept off his feet! Molly is the new girl to town immediately finds herself crushing on the grumpy baseball coach… who just so happens to be the towns most eligible bachelor. And who might just be crushing on her in return. But Grey is carrying around some baggage, baggage he’s not sure he ever wants to saddle a partner with… and if his baggage isn’t enough well then his and Mollys age gap is reason alone in his mind to stay away. Molly has some baggage of her own though, and she’s never been afraid to meet some baggage head on and sort through it. But when rumors start flying and everyone decided they get opinion can Molly and Greys relationship make it through rough water or is it bound to crash and burn before it ever even gets started?! Honestly you’ll just love reading about their relationship, from the hilarious banter between the two, the very sweet and romantic moments, and the growth they both go through throughout this book you just won’t be able to put this book down! If you’re looking for a grumpy/sunshine, opposites attract, pretty instant attraction romance, filled with plenty of cute moments, as well as plenty of spice, a few betrayals on top of the twists and turns, hilarious banter, great characters and a happily ever after than I highly recommend grabbing Sweet Spot today!

This book surprised me in the best way possible! It was so much more than the usual age gap/forbidden romance. Not only was there delicious longing, there was healing and heart, realizations that packed a punch, and the best HEA ever. Oh! And the spice, goodness!

Grey was the loner, older man who kept people at arms length. My heart broke for him because it felt like he didn't think he deserved anything good. He couldn't be more wrong. This man has one of the best hearts and is a caretaker down to his soul. I loved how he just wanted to take care of Molly and how hard he fell for her.

Molly was the definition of a ray of sunshine. I just loved her heart and her positive attitude towards everything. She grew up with very controlling parents. Watching her bloom and become who she wanted to be was everything. She was so good for Grey. I loved how she understood him and really saw his heart. The way she just wanted to love him was so heartwarming.

These two stole my heart and I don't want it back. The way they just fit together so seamlessly was everything. You couldn't feel the age gap between them. Staci is so talented at making you feel all the emotions in this book. I loved the depth of the characters, the compelling storyline, the heart pounding spice, and the suspense/mystery toward the end. Bravo!!

If you love small town chaos, forbidden age gap tension, grumpy soft men, and “teach me” romance energy… Sweet Spot absolutely delivers ⚾️🔥

Molly is sunshine chaos. She is a sheltered librarian finally breaking free from her suffocating parents and trying everything life has to offer for the first time. New house, new town, new experiences… and unfortunately for Coach Grey, that includes him 😮‍💨

Grey is the ultimate grumpy caretaker wolf daddy who just wants to protect her… even from himself. Their dynamic is packed with flirty banter, slow burn longing, and so much tension. With private “lessons” turning into very not innocent moments?? Yeah babes… the spice creeps up and then suddenly you’re fanning yourself🥵

What really stood out though was Molly’s growth. Watching her gain confidence, fight back against controlling family dynamics, and figure out what she wants made the romance hit even harder.

Grey’s emotional walls and past trauma added depth too. This wasn’t just hot… it had heart.
Add in nosy small town drama, renovation chaos, baseball vibes, and a suspenseful twist I did NOT see coming, and this became such an addictive read.

If you like:
⚾️ Age gap
📚 Grumpy x sunshine

Sweet Spot is the third book in Staci Hart’s Roseville Ramblers series and following elementary school librarian Molly and baseball coach, Greyson, as he agrees to coach Molly on a few things on and off the field.

Molly is the young and new in town elementary school librarian who’s lived a sheltered life until moving out on her own and buying her fixer upper. Since moving to town, Molly has become friends with Cass and agreed to join the teacher softball team despite never playing before and decides to ask Coach aka Greyson to help her learn a few things.

Greyson agrees but has some ground rules that quickly fall by the wayside the more time they spend together. Slowly, Molly gets behind Grey’s walls and lights up his life in so many ways he thought were lost to him and even thou he’s teaching Molly new things she’s teaching him just as much. Molly and Grey’s relationship wasn’t without its challenges and the town gossip certainly didn’t help and a few other surprises along the way threw them both for a loop.

I’ve been enjoying this series and I’m really excited for the next book; we are finally getting Shelby and Tate’s story and you know their enemies to lovers story is going to be full of fiery tension and passion.

Sweet Spot is the third book in author Staci Hart’s Roseville Ramblers Series. The book stars Molly Lane, young and new to Roseville. The ray of sunshine, elementary school librarian has led a sheltered life. Her newfound friend, Cass,invites her to join the teachers softball team who is coached by another teacher in their friend circle, Grey Brooks. Grey is older and more experienced than Molly. He’s protective and she trusts him implicitly. He helps with her softball skills because she has never played and he’s been coaching for 20 years. She asks him to coach her through her first time drinking alcohol, first kiss…. You see where this is going. Their relationship gets complicated quickly and catches unwanted attention from the town and gossip spreads like wildfire threatening their jobs and reputation. Can their relationship survive?
Give me all of the Staci Hart books to devour. Her character development paints a picture and transports you into the story. Her witty writing gives good banter. I’m hooked.

Thank you so much to @good.girls.pr and @quirkybird for the eARC!! 🫶🏻

This was my first big age gap book and it was SO GOOD!! I am fully obsessed with Coach McHotbooty and Molly 😍 Molly is new to town and is the elementary school librarian, and Grey is the longtime shop teacher/baseball coach. They’ve been curious about each other since Molly first got to town but their age gap kept them from wanting to explore things more. Molly joins the teacher league baseball team and needs a little extra help since she has never played before, and Coach Grey decided to step up and help her for the good of the team, and the rest is history 😉 This book was full of spice 🌶️, had me laughing out loud, and I was not ready for the different twists and turns along the way! Overall this was such a fun read and I can’t wait to read more of Staci Hart’s books. Check out the full list of tropes below and make sure to add this to your tbr ⬇️

Sweet Spot was a joy to read. It was funny, sweet, cute and steamy. It was slow burn to perfection. I loved the main characters, Molly and Grey and the age gap aspect of their relationship. It didn't feel like a stretch, implausible, it felt natural, believable. However, the reactions to their relationship grated on my nerves a bit. I wasn't fond of that at all. I also wasn't fond of Molly's parents to be quite honest especially her father. He was a dick. That said I loved watching Molly and Greyson grow over the course of the story and be true to themselves. I also loved being back in this world and catching up with past couples. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and hope there's more to come.

Loved loved loved ittt! How can a book be sweet, cute and spicy at the same time ??? Staci Hart is the queen of spicy romantic comedies with enough drama to keep you glued to the book.
I was desperately waiting for Molly and Grey's book since they were introduced in previous book last year and finally we got their amazing love story.
Grey is highschool baseball coach and older then Molly. Molly has just moved into town and is the librarian of elementary school. They are totally opposites, she is sunshine, chirpy always smiling and he is grumpy and growly. And they are perfect together.
Also can I say I didn't see those twists and turns coming!!
Also I loved reading about previous book characters and now can't wait for the fourth book.

Sweet Spot is Molly and baseball coach Grey Brooks age gap, workplace romance and its book three in the Roseville Ramblers Series. From the moment I picked this book up I was drawn in and there was no putting down until the final line had been read.
Molly has finally escaped her overbearing parents and she has got her first job as a librarian in the small town of Roseville.
Grey is the baseball coach at the same school Molly works at and it’s not long before their paths cross. What starts off as a friendship soon turns into so much more but will Grey be prepared to risk it all by crossing the line…..
This is a well written hot and steamy, emotional and full of love romance but what takes this book to another level is the quirky residents of this small town.

Molly and Grey were the age-gap romance I live for! Molly, 24 and on her own for the first time after moving away from her very suffocating parents is starting to discover who she is. After buying an old fixer-upper and joining the teacher softball team she realizes she has a lot to learn. Enter Grey, or coach, the 44 year old high school baseball coach who offers to teach her how to play…and ends up being so much more.

This was sweet and spicy and then took a mysterious turn that I didn’t see coming at all!

I love a Staci Hart story and this one was just perfect.

Grey & Molly

Baseball coach Grey (44) meets the new librarian Molly (24) and attraction appears in both of them, but he tries to fight it because he is too old for her. She is completely inexperienced (never even been kissed), so she doesn't exactly understand all the feelings she is experiencing. This is a fabulous book of firsts for Molly. She is brave enough to know what she wants and asks for it. Grey is too smitten to refuse her. You will love this book.
