Humor, forthright conversation, steadfast gentleness and breath stealing sexual tension eventually tip them from rare friendship into a magnificent, incendiary love affair with the most earned of HEAs. These very real obstacles juxtaposed with their undeniable attraction make for a hot, slow slide into ever deeper intimacy. Recently divorced, he's working hard to maintain a decent parenting relationship with his cheating ex and is as dedicated to prioritizing the needs of his troubled young daughter as Lotus is to working on herself. A warrior on the basketball court, he's a man of rare sensitivity and integrity off it. The beautifully real way the book covers this painful but ultimately inspirational journey is a celebration of grit, tenacious self-examination, compassion and our remarkable capacity to heal. Ĭoming up with a hero worthy of Lo is a feat, but Ryan pulls it off in Kenan Ross. She's determined to focus on herself and confront the wounds creating a sense of emptiness in her intimate relationships. Lotus has built a beautiful life for herself, but she's also grappling with serious trauma from her past. The bond between them is a gorgeous portrait of strength born of unconditional love. She's also gifted with a wise, magical grandmother and a fiercely loyal cousin. Her friends are funny and loving, equally supportive whether in raucous, bawdy discussions of her sex life or in quiet expressions of solidarity as she grapples with hard truths. She's surrounded by remarkable women with whom she's developed deep, rich relationships. Fierce, funny & captivating, she's made a prominent place for herself in the design world and owns every room she walks into with the force of her charisma. Its heroine, Lotus DuPree, is a larger than life goddess of a woman wrapped in a tiny, tattooed package. It was the first Kennedy Ryan book I ever read and a revelation in how a romance novel can tackle deep trauma but remain powerfully uplifting. You know those romance novels that affect you so deeply you still think of them months or years later? Hook Shot is one of those for me.
