Overview
The Hoops Series brings together three interconnected romances from Kennedy Ryan, all set within the electric, high-pressure world of basketball. This paperback collection includes Long Shot, Block Shot, and Hook Shot, following ambitious athletes and the strong-willed women who challenge them both on and off the court. Each book stands on its own while building a shared world of family, rivalry, and hard-won love. Readers who enjoy emotionally rich contemporary romance with sports-world stakes, banter-filled chemistry, and satisfying character growth will find plenty to love across all three stories in this set.
About the Books
The Hoops Series is Kennedy Ryan's contemporary sports romance world, where basketball provides the backdrop for stories about ambition, trust, and second chances. Long Shot opens the series with Iris DuPree and August West, whose one unforgettable night collides with the reality that he is bound for the NBA and she is tied to someone else, forcing both to weigh loyalty against a connection neither can shake. Block Shot shifts into the professional arena, pairing sharp-tongued, fiercely independent Banner Morales with sports agent Jared Foster, whose negotiations off the court prove far less complicated than the ones happening between them. Hook Shot closes the trilogy with Kenan Ross, a veteran player nearing the end of his career and guarded after past betrayals, whose life is upended by Lotus DuPree, a woman who refuses to let him hide from what he wants. Across all three books, Ryan blends witty, natural dialogue with real emotional stakes, exploring how ambition, family history, and personal wounds shape the choices her characters make in love. The series is known for grounding steamy, slow-burn romance in fully realized characters rather than surface-level tropes, giving readers relationships that feel earned rather than convenient. Fans of character-driven contemporary romance with a sports setting, strong banter, and emotional depth will find the Hoops Series a satisfying, immersive collection to read in order or revisit individually.
