Overview

This paperback collection includes Long Shot, Block Shot, and Hook Shot, each a standalone love story linked by shared characters and Ryan's signature blend of emotional depth and sizzling chemistry. Readers follow athletes, agents, and the women who challenge them to open their guarded hearts, exploring fame, ambition, trust, and second chances. Fans of slow-burn, emotionally rich sports romance will find a complete, binge-ready trilogy perfect for gifting.
About the Books
Across Long Shot, Block Shot, and Hook Shot, Kennedy Ryan builds a basketball-centered romance world where love collides with ambition, timing, and public scrutiny. Long Shot opens the trilogy with Iris DuPree and rising NBA star August West, whose electric meeting in a college town bar collides with the realities of the draft and unresolved history, testing whether their once-in-a-lifetime connection can survive the pressure of the spotlight. Block Shot turns to sharp-witted sports agent Jared Foster and guarded, quick-thinking Banner Morales, whose professional sparring gives way to simmering attraction as both confront old wounds standing between them and real intimacy. Hook Shot closes the trilogy with Kenan Ross, a divorced athlete nearing the end of his playing career, whose carefully ordered life is upended by free-spirited Lotus DuPree, forcing him to reconsider what he thought he wanted. Throughout the set, Ryan pairs fierce, independent heroines with complex, emotionally honest heroes, exploring trust, healing, and choosing love on one's own terms, all against an authentic basketball backdrop of locker-room camaraderie and media pressure. Told with Ryan's trademark lyrical prose, the trilogy balances swoony tension with real character growth.
