Long Shot (Hoops, #1)

by Kennedy Ryan

I almost stopped reading this book about fifteen different times. If you can't handle long detailed accounts of abuse and rape then don't even think about picking up this book.

That said, I think the rest of the book made up for it. August is so swoon worthy, just wow. He was so sweet and patient and just a kind man. And Kennedy Ryan has a writing style that I absolutely loved which is why I stuck with this book in the end. It was longer than the average romance I read but the way it was written made it really exciting to read. I also loved the pacing of the story. It takes place over several years but with how it was written it was all so smooth and easy to keep up with.

I think it was a great book overall despite nearly being too overwhelmed to read it at a few points. I think it really had a deep meaning especially talking about rape/abuse victims.
