Publisher Description
Divorced. Single dad. Traded to a losing squad. Cheated on, betrayed, exposed. My perfect life blew up in my face and I'm still picking up the pieces. The last thing I need is her. A wildflower. A storm. A woman I can't resist.
Lotus DuPree is a kick to my gut and a wrench in my plans from the moment our eyes meet.
I promised myself I wouldn't trust a woman again, but I've never wanted anyone the way I want Lo. She's not the plan I made, but she's the risk I have to take.
A warrior. A baller. The one they call Gladiator. Kenan Ross charged into my life smelling all good, looking even better and snatching my breath from the moment we met.
The last thing I need is him. I'm working on me. Facing my pain and conquering my demons.
I've seen what trusting a man gets you. I. Don't. Have. Time. For. This. But he just keeps coming for me. Keeps knocking down my defenses and stealing my excuses one by one. He never gives up, and now . . . I'm not sure I want him to.
Contains mature themes.

Heavy But Necessary 😮💨
Warning: on-page rape of a child (nothing intense but still cringey)
Research all trigger warnings!
Kennedy Ryan finishes this awesome series with a integral story of overcoming childhood trauma of rape/molestation with doing the necessary work to restructure the mind. I rooted for our heroine, Lotus, when she found a community of sexual assault/rape victims to unpack and free herself of the bondage that held her restrained from her intimacy issues.
Kennedy Ryan can do no wrong.
Unavoidable Attraction
Hook Shot is the final book in the Hoops series by Kennedy Ryan. Kenen Ross was a divorced, single dad in the final years of his basketball career. Lotus Dupree was eleven years younger and working in the New York fashion scene. They met and were drawn to each other, despite each having no plans to trust and let anyone in. Kenan moved to New York to be near his daughter for the summer, and the two were unable to avoid the attraction they felt for one another. The question that remained: was it enough to break down their walls and truly let each other in? This was an excellent conclusion to the Hoops series, books that dealt with difficult issues and overcoming adversity to find love. The challenges for Kenan and Lotus were significant, but their chemistry was undeniable and their story impossible to resist. I thoroughly enjoyed this age-gap romance which was full of emotion, and snark, and a delicious happy ending. I definitely recommend this book and series to readers of contemporary romance. I don’t think that one can ever go wrong with a book by Kennedy Ryan, and this book is a perfect example of that. I am voluntarily submitting this honest review after reading an advanced complementary copy of this book thanks to Netgalley and Sourcebooks, Bloom Books.
