Story
JARED - If I had a dollar for every time Banner Morales made my heart skip a beat...The heart everyone assumes is frozen over. Her anger is...arousing. Every glare from those fire-spitting eyes, every time she grits her teeth, gets me...well, you know. If I had a dollar for every time she's put me in my place, I'd be an even richer man. I'm a successful sports agent because I assume "no" means you'll think about it. I'm sure what you meant to say is, "Coming right up." They say even rich men don't always get what they want, but those men don't know how to play the game.

I don’t want you. You mean nothing to me. I never loved you. I turned my words into swords. And I cut her down. Shoved the blade in and watched her fall. I said I’d never hurt her and I did. Years later I’m faced with all the little lies, the untruths, the false realities, the damage I inflicted when all I wanted was to indulge in my obsession. Lavender Waters is the princess in the tower. Even her name is the thing fairy tales are made of. I used to be the one who saved her. Over and over again.

Story
Hollywood taught me everything I know about relationships - except how to be in one. As an actor, I became an expert at faking it. Faking that I wasn't affected by my childhood. Faking that I was okay. Faking that I knew how to save the day, the girl, the whole damn world. But I've always known the truth - I’m no one's hero. Until I’m forced to move back to Sugarloaf for six months, and Brenna Allen offers me a chance to prove otherwise. She’s everything I never knew I wanted, but can't have. Her broken heart, perfect face, and adorable children turn my world upside down.

Raised to resist. Bred to fight. Survival is in my blood and surrender is never an option. Though surrender is what Maxim Cade demanded of my body and heart, I had other plans. We were fast-burning fascination and combustible chemistry, but the man I trusted with everything was a trickster. A thief who stole my love. If what we had was a lie, why did it feel so real? The man I swore to hate will have it all, and wants me at his side. But power is a game, and we're the pawns and players. Facing insurmountable odds, will we win the world, or will we lose it all?

My love story all started with a letter. Only it wasn’t from the man I’d eventually fall in love with. It was from his daughter. A sweet little girl named Birdie Maxwell who’d written to the magazine that I worked for. You see, once a year my employer fulfilled a few wishes for readers. Only that column didn’t start up again for months. So I fulfilled some of her wishes myself. It was harmless…so I thought. Until one day I took things too far. While anonymously granting yet another of Birdie’s wishes, I got a look at her father.

Breaking news: The bad boy of baseball, Maddox Paige, is totally and utterly whipped. Okay, that might not be the headline in the newspaper this morning, but it's the reality of my current situation. It all started a month ago when I received a call from my best friend, Kinsley. She’d gotten a new job in Chicago and needed a place to stay. I've known the girl since I was five, so I figured there wouldn't be any harm in having her stay at my place for a while. Ha! Total disaster.

I ran. Escaped the man who wanted to hurt me. I got in my car and drove. No destination. No direction. No help. I hid in the one place I would never be found. Now in New York with no job, I didn’t know what to do. Then I met him. Jaxson Price. The enigmatic devil who wasn't only above the law, but played it like a puppet. He might be the answer to all my problems. Too bad he's asking for something in return for his help.... My heart.
Publisher's Summary
Kennedy Ryan presents book three in the Hoops series.
A deeply emotional, standalone romance set in the worlds of professional basketball and high fashion.
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.

Looooove
Even though I've read this I just couldn't bear to not listen to it, the flow and the way Lotus blooms through the story and Kenan, the gladiator who had the shoulders carrying so much sadness and anger and betrayal, steals the hearts. The narrators were choppy with the sentences for me, so it cut me out of flow alot, unlike the narrators of Long shot, who weave a web around you, you don't want to stop listening.

Hook Shot
I have read a couple of Kennedy Ryan's books, and the Grip series has been my favorite so far, and it still is my favorite. However, I had a few friends tell me that I needed to read Hook Shot, and I'm glad I did. As one reader said, it was sublime. I loved the transparency between Kenan and Lotus. It was beautiful the way they decided to be vulnerable with each other. Actually, I loved everything about this couple. The love notes with verses from the Song of Solomon was FIRE! The scene with -- Oh, I can't tell you the scene because it would be a spoiler, but I will say it made me go and read Psalm 35. I enjoyed the book so much that I wish they were real and that they were my friends. I'm sure the narrators made me feel this way. Speaking of the narration, it was excellent! As I write this, there is more I want to say, so I will. LOL. The visual I had of the gallery scene is one I could go on and on about. The narrators definitely capture the intensity between Kenan and Chase. The hospital scene, the scenes at Lotus's grandmother's house, and the scene where Lotus had to make an important decision about her and Kenan's relationship were also times I felt the narrators were able to place me in the mind of the characters and allow me to feel their emotions.

What a series!!
This entire series of books is so rich and beautiful. I was waiting for Lotus’s story and it did not disappoint. As mentioned by another reviewer, there are so many themes touched on in this saga and each of them are detailed wonderfully. Worth every penny I paid for this. This is a true love story. Narrators were fantastic.

Now this one is a live story. Loved that there was a real connection between the characters and that they actually spent the majority of the book together instead of either apart or constantly at odds. Best of the series!

Slow but good
The female narrator voice sounds like Alexa. She doesn't really alternate between the voices, it's like she just read the book out loud. I had to follow along with the Kindle version. I love Jakobi, so his narration made the audiobook bearable (with a 1.25x narration speed) On a different note, I admired this story, the connection between Lotus & Kenan, the realness, and the dialogue! They didn't let their age difference affect their relationship . I was also happy to hear Lotus's story since she was in the first book. What I love most about Ryan's work is that she keeps it realistic, unlike some of these fairy-tale far-fetched romance stories.

It’s The Falling In Love
This book was so emotional. Kenan is a strong, sexy & loyal athlete in his prime but is dealt the short stick in his relationship. He gets out...but nothing prepared him for the woman that is Lotus. She is intelligent, desirable and kind ...everything good, but she too has demons from her past. Together they make magic happen and the way Ryan Kennedy describes the kisses....holy smokes Batman!!!!! This woman can write about kissing!!! The story smolders as the heat between them is undeniable. I loved it! The narration by Mia Ellis and Jakobi Diem is sexy, heartfelt and heartbreaking as they breathe life into these characters.

Great narration, average story
This turned out to be just an okay read for me and in that, I can't help being a little disappointed because of my love for Kennedy Ryan's books. HOOK SHOT was the anti-climax I didn't want and LONG SHOT was the highlight of the series. This was a case of like and not love. I liked Lotus, she was strong and tenacious but with a big heart hidden under the barriers she'd constructed out of necessity. I liked Kenan but sometimes I found him a little lacking in hero-material. I find it hard to explain but I think it had something to do with his ex and that whole storyline. I didn't really enjoy his family context at all. The supernatural was just a little turn off for me too. The narration was excellent and I wonder if I'd have kept going if it wasnt for audio and these narrators. In fact, it took me ages to read because I prefered music to the idea of audio on my commute which is very unusual for me. We'll just chalk this one up 'not my kind of story'
