I’m so glad I got back into Kennedy Ryan’s work because I loved Reel but also reading it was so painful at times that I never delved into the rest of her backlist. But I’m seriously so glad I did because this is literally by far one of my favorite couples I’ve read about this year - they go through so much in this book but they combat it all so well and I suprisingly didn’t feel like what they gave throughout the book was too much too quickly. I mean obviously it’s a lot in one book and probably one of the huge crises/hospital trips in this book could have been cut because it was a lot, but also everything served a purpose and was amazing written and discussed

I liked this one. I felt like Simone shouldve been 9 or 10 instead of 14 though, her dialogue made her seems like she should be a lot younger. Loved this series!

I have been itching to get to Kenan & Lotus' story since they were introduced in The Long Shot, and it did not disappoint one bit!

This book was everything I wanted it to be and then some. I can't even articulate how much I loved Kenan and Lotus' story and the effect it had on me. This book made me feel all of the emotions: I was swooning, crying, angry, heartbroken, and back to swooning again all in one sitting.

There are so many layers and depth to this story that I haven't even touched the surface but it was beautifully written, and I will recommend this a million times!

“What if she gave me to you?” I bend to whisper over her lips. “What if I’m your gris gris now?”

Trigger warning: Rape, sexual assault, suicide, grief, divorce, broken families, trauma and PTSD.

I cannot believe I have to an end to this beautifully written series.
Kennedy Ryan literally struck an arrow in my heart and introduced me to her world.
Each series is beautiful on its own and I can't pick a favourite, however Hook Shot definitely was so emotional and tugged the strings of my heart. 

We follow Lotus and Kenan who are facing different struggle in their life.
They swear off relationships, and trust is something to be earned.
Reading Hook Shot definitely made me even believe in fate. I believe in fate and how it stumbles into our life.
Sometimes love happens, can be the wrong place and time, but what will always find its way back to each other.

I enjoyed the two POVS and character growth for each of them.
With how their life is individual and how it affects them and their relationship.
The decisions they have to make, sacrifices and patience. 
Lotus, our brave, fierce boss, definitely went through so much in her life and following her journey was heartbreaking but hopefully. It's difficult to face trauma but with time and the right people, she found her own happiness not saying the trauma ever goes away, but she found her balance of facing with it.

While following Kenan's journey in balancing his career, relationship and co-parenting.
The idea and plotline of seeing a counselor is such a big eye opener, as it might seem taboo or something is wrong when one seeks help. 

Their chemistry was raw, honest, and natural. They are so beautiful individually, but together they create a rainbow in each other's life. 

Kennedy Ryan did a phenomenal job with this series.
Not only did she write an amazing sports romance but writing on real-life issues that we avoid having conversations in real life, her story gives people hope and conversation starter on how we can help others and change how society sees them. 


“Nothing against fake lashes. I just don’t like it when the woman blinking them is fake, too.”
