#NewRelease #Reviews BLOCK SHOT by Kennedy Ryan @jennw23 @kennedyrwrites


“Kennedy Ryan’s writing continues to amaze and inspire. She is a genius wordsmith and a prose poet. And in Banner Morales, she has created the perfect heroine for this day and age. Don’t miss this read. It’s everything.” — Emma Scott, Bestselling Author

Block Shot, Kennedy Ryan’s enemies-to-lovers, second-chance standalone romance is LIVE and FREE in Kindle Unlimited! 


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. The trick is to keep them guessing.

Take Banner. She assumes she's winning, but this game? 

She doesn't even know how to play.


BANNER

If I had a dollar for every time Jared Foster broke my heart, I’d have exactly one dollar.

One night. One epic fail. One dollar...and I'm out.

I've moved on.

I’ve found success in a field ruled by men. 

Anything they can do, I have done better.

They can keep the field while I call the shots, blocking them when I have to.

And Jared has the nerve to think he gets a second chance?

Boy, please. Go sit down. Have several seats.

I'll just be over here ignoring the man carved from my fantasies with a lust-tipped chisel.

Oh, I didn't say the struggle wasn't real.

But I've got that one dollar, and Jared won't have me.




It's either magic or psychic abilities that has Kennedy Ryan stealing my thoughts, feelings, and internal dialogue. I'm not sure yet which one but I will say her uncanny ability to dive into the core of a character and make them be the reader- any reader, every reader, while still being that character true to themselves- is the reason I can't stop reading her books. 

Her development and character growth is demanding and a has a vacuum effect on the reader- it sucks you in. Unable to separate personal insecurities from that of the character, or really identifying on a completely and totally on the same level, is what makes her books "unputdownable". (It's totally a word.)

Her driving characters and intense real life situations make her books a real escape to hold, cherish, and explore. Not one to beat around the bush, Kennedy Ryan makes it hard to read and even harder not to.

Block Shot has some amazing quotes to set the mood. It has some of the most challenging characters and a situation I would not envy but it has a smile inducing effect on the reader. A hearts and flowers happy glazed look followed by sadden gaze into the future that reflects everything Banner is, was, and will be. These two may not "deserve" each other but they are perfect together. Learn how hard it is to fight against yourself...Block the Shot.

This author never fails to astound me with every new book they release they are always what I never knew I wanted to read.

The second book in the Hoops series brings Banner and Jared into our lives and what a rollercoaster we go on with them. The characterisation as with previous books was immense. One of the things I loved was how well I got to know them both I was totally invested in their lives. 
.
A second chance love story that was so much more. I felt everything, the heartache and confusion the pain and the love. Banner really is a woman in a man's world I loved how empowered she was. It's research read about a strong female character who doesn't use her gender to get what she wants, we need more stories with women as role models. Jared was that perfect mix of bossy and vulnerable, so many times I wanted to reach out and just hold him.

Another story that's well written and that made me think and feel.
