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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete three-book HOOPS trilogy by Kennedy Ryan in one paperback set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmotionally rich, slow-burn sports romance with fierce heroines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterconnected standalone stories readable together or individually\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSignature Kennedy Ryan prose with swoony chemistry and emotional depth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect gift for romance readers or holiday stocking stuffers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreat for summer reading or a complete romance collection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBook-by-Book Guide\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nLong Shot — Iris DuPree's fateful encounter with rising NBA star August West sparks a slow-burn romance complicated by the draft and the past.\u003cbr\u003eBlock Shot — Sharp-witted agent Jared Foster and guarded Banner Morales trade banter and simmering tension that turns into something deeper.\u003cbr\u003eHook Shot — Divorced athlete Kenan Ross, nearing retirement, finds his ordered world upended by free-spirited Lotus DuPree.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nKennedy Ryan is a bestselling author known for emotionally rich, socially conscious romance centered on complex, unapologetic heroines.
