Kennedy Ryan has made a clear path to my heart and I am officially addicted to her words. Her novels as deeply emotional, poised, and some of the most romantic reads I have ever come across.
Rating: ★★★★★
​Release Date: March 26, 2019
Genre: Contemporary Romance. Single Dad. Sports. 

Series: The Hoops series #3 (can stand alone).  
Pages: 435 pages
Format: eBook. Purchased.  
A deeply emotional standalone romance set in the worlds of professional basketball and high fashion.

Divorced. Single dad. Traded to a losing squad. Cheated on, betrayed, exposed.
My perfect life blew up in my face and I'm still picking up the pieces.
The last thing I need is her.
A wildflower. A storm. A woman I can't resist.
Lotus DuPree is a kick to my gut and a wrench in my plans
from the moment our eyes meet.
I promised myself I wouldn't trust a woman again,
but I've never wanted anyone the way I want Lo.
She's not the plan I made, but she's the risk I have to take.

A warrior. A baller. The one they call Gladiator. Kenan Ross charged into my life smelling all good, looking even better and snatching my breath from the moment we met.
The last thing I need is him. I'm working on me. Facing my pain and conquering my demons. I've seen what trusting a man gets you. I. Don't. Have. Time. For. This. But he just keeps coming for me. Keeps knocking down my defenses and stealing my excuses one by one. He never gives up, and now...I'm not sure I want him to.

​Release Date: March 26, 2019
Actual Rating: 5 stars

Contemporary | Sports Romance

Kennedy Ryan has made a clear path to my heart and I am officially addicted to her words. Her novels as deeply emotional, poised, and some of the most romantic reads I have ever come across. I took a chance on this series; and the author and was rewarded immediately. Her words flow so easily, her books ignite your soul so quickly, and in no time at all, you become deeply invested in her characters. It comes as no surprise to me that her novels as award winning and this is honestly deserved. I am wholly obsessed with her books. If you have yet to read a Kennedy Ryan book you are missing out. I feel like I’ve been missing out since I only started in in her stories this year but am remedying it now. I plan to plow through her books (as many as I can) this year.

Now that I’m finished gushing, I can talk about Hook Shot. This is the third (and final?) standalone in the Hoops series. These books are interconnected and while they CAN be read as standalones, I personally think you should read them in order because characters from past books do show up in future ones. I don’t want anyone to be spoiled when it comes to their romances and reading them in order will help that not to happen.

Hook Shot is Kenan and Lotus’s story. These two have met a few times through her cousin Iris (she’s the heroine of Long Shot my absolute FAVORITE of the three) and her husband, but never developed a friendship because they don’t live close to one another. Not only that, both are dealing with their own personal issues and mixing a relationship of any kind (despite their intense attraction) isn’t on their radar. But when fate intervenes and puts both in the city together, those long-burrowed feelings are awakened. Lotus doesn’t have any intention of letting a man into her heart (she has a tragic back story that cements her in a place far from intimacy) and Kenan has his own issues with his divorce and daughter. But can two people who are clearly meant for each other really stay away? You’ll find out when they navigate the waters of their past and present in this electrifying romance that will leave you breathless.

Kennedy Ryan has certainly made a fan out of me with this series and I can’t recommend it enough to romance readers everywhere. I know you’ll become addicted just like I did and while I hate to share my book boyfriends, it’s hard not to sing these books praises. I am so excited to start on the next series and see where she takes me next.
