Long Shot (Hoops, #1)

by Kennedy Ryan

A FORBIDDEN LOVE SET IN THE EXPLOSIVE WORLD OF THE NBA...

Think you know what it's like being a baller's girl?
You don't.
My fairy tale is upside down.
A happily never after.
I kissed the prince and he turned into a fraud.
I was a fool, and his love - fool's gold.
Now there's a new player in the game, August West.
One of the NBA's brightest stars.
Fine. Forbidden.
He wants me. I want him.
But my past, my fraudulent prince, just won't let me go

Long Shot depicts a relationship that isn't really a relationship in the beginning. August and Iris meet by chance. And there's a deep connection between them. Only, Iris has a boyfriend. As it turns out, Iris' boyfriend is August nemisis.
There are a lot of hard subjects brought up in Long Shot, and I cried more than once! It was so difficult to read about everything Iris went through - and how she felt like nothing would ever change for her. And how afraid she was.
The story is beautifully written, and Ms. Ryan has become a new autobuy author for me - not only because the characters feel real, but because she tackles real life problems with flair.
