Long Shot by Kennedy Ryan

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

*Contains domestic abuse not involving the hero. Read reviews for guidance.

Warning: There are a LOT of difficult parts in this book. This book contains domestic abuse

This was not always an easy read, but the payoff was the beautiful romance that blossomed between August and Iris.

August was perfection. His heart was extra large sized, and I adored the way he put his heart right out there. And he made me swoon too. Gosh! When he told Iris, that he would make her his five, his center, I was done.

Iris did what she had to do. She went through so much, and still came through with her dukes up. Her story brings attention to a very serious issue, and confronts a lot of the typical judgement, that onlookers cast on the victim.

I am looking forward to the next book (Jared's romance), but I am really looking forward to the third book, because Kenan and Lotus are a stupendous match.

Overall: Sometimes painful and always emotional, with such a satisfying ending.
