Long Shot: A Forbidden Basketball Standalone Romance (HOOPS Book 1)

Product Information

Iris really hasn’t had a very good life, she has been through a lot in childhood and now in adulthood. I want to start by congratulating the author on doing everything right in the domestic violence front. Long Shot drained every bit of moisture from my eyes, and just when I thought I had none left, a torrent would occur again, each drop falling from heartache and deceit, but also from healing and newness.

It was obvious I wasn't a lick receptive to the "emotional" part of this story, all I could feel was being trapped into drama and horror and absurdity.Some unfortunate victim, somewhere might read this and find courage to save herself like Iris and you would have accomplished your mission.

I had to take a break and remember that it wasn’t real, that I really didn’t need to find someone and smash their head in. With the visual clarity of the author’s vivid, heartfelt, and passionate words, this story felt real, raw and painfully open and honest.

Iris was such a strong and inspiring character and reading about her go through the worst period of her life was so heartbreaking but honestly a privilege to read. One recurring theme that I’ve noticed in this authors novels has got to be the ”missed connections” angle she always invokes. All I wanted to know was how Iris would eventually escape her living hell and be done with the book.

Long Shot is an book that is going toward the top of my favorites for 2018 and that I recommend to all. I will be forever thankful for Kennedy Ryan for creating this masterpiece and using her voice for so much good. I told myself I was done a few times, but curiosity and a friend pushed me to pick up the book again, and again until I just couldn't.And this book is just a love letter to why it is so important to surround yourself with people who have your back and will always unconditionally love you. I don't think a female lead has ever been written as beautifully and as pathos evoking as her in this genre. Because shortly afterward it took a serious turn for the better (though for the worse for what the characters go through). You know that feeling you get at the beginning of a book when you realize you're about to read one of your favorite stories from your entire life? It ended at 78% on my kindle app and included another novella of the author's (I hate when they do that!
