About this listen

Kennedy Ryan presents book three in the Hoops series.

A deeply emotional, standalone romance set in the worlds of professional basketball and high fashion.

Divorced. Single dad. Traded to a losing squad.

Cheated on, betrayed, exposed. My perfect life blew up in my face, and I'm still picking up the pieces. The last thing I need is her.

A wildflower. A storm. A woman I can't resist.

Lotus DuPree is a kick to my gut and a wrench in my plans from the moment our eyes meet. I promised myself I wouldn't trust a woman again, but I've never wanted anyone the way I want Lo. She's not the plan I made, but she's the risk I have to take.

A warrior. A baller. The one they call Gladiator.

Kenan Ross charged into my life smelling all good, looking even better, and snatching my breath from the moment we met. The last thing I need is him. I’m working on me. Facing my pain and conquering my demons. I've seen what trusting a man gets you.

I. Don't. Have. Time. For. This.

But he just keeps coming for me. Keeps knocking down my defenses and stealing my excuses one by one. He never gives up, and now...I'm not sure I want him to.

Love the story

Jakobi Jakobi Jakobi like always you do an excellent job. The female narrator…not so much. It’s like she doesn’t like reading the sex scenes. Kennedy wrote such an epic masterpiece. I love how she describes in great detail every single scene.

Kennedy Ryan continues to blow my mind with each new book in this series! She continues to deliver emotional, thought provoking storylines that keep you sitting on pins and needles awaiting the next book! Although August and Iris are still my favorite, Kenan and Lotus did not disappoint! There were so many real-life issues touched upon (fidelity, belief systems, truth, suicide ,etc) that allows everyone to identify with something. Jakobi Diem was excellent as the male narrator and Mia Ellis did a wonderful job too! I am never disappointed with Kennedy Ryan!

Hooked from the beginning!

I absolutely loved this story, the characters, and the narration that brought this incredible love story to life! Kennedy Ryan is a queen of romance and this story and Kenan had me swooning throughout the whole book! This is a must listen! Jakobi Diem and Mia Ellis do a spectacular job bringing Kenan and Lotus’s characters alive for the listeners.

Beautiful Love Story

What a beautiful love. Full of giddiness, joy, sexuality, sacrifice, longing, spirituality, and forgiveness, this story has it all. The family dynamics while at times are tragic are realistic. Can’t say enough. Did my heart good. Well done! That cover is everything, everything. Fits the story so well.

Enjoyed the characters but was very unrealistic

The book was good but I couldn’t get past the unrealistic things about the characters. Kennan was sold character one of my favorite male leads in a book but Lotus would not have been a pick for someone in his situation. After losing his marriage to infidelity, he wouldn’t be investing to a constantly half dressed 25 year old with nipple rings and take her seriously. He is father of the year, but would want his daughter to be around a voodoo loving toddler. He love jazz and a slow life. Where does Lotus fit into that. No man would’ve reacted to the art exhibit like that after his past.

The book wasn’t bad but it tried to be deep but the characters were off. They weren’t a good fit for each other. Lotus wasn’t giving enough to convince me a man as settled as he was would risk his heart for her.

Amazing story!

This is the last book of this series. When I read the first book (Long shot), I knew Lotus story was going to be raw and beautiful. This story went so deep into my soul. I can’t recommend enough that you dive into this series. This was my first time reading from this author and I’m hooked.

Lotus is a scarred girl, with childhood trauma, raised by her Mimi (great-grandmother), because life wasn’t fair to her, neither was her mom. Kenan, is this magnificent giant of a basketball player with a heart of gold. He is a single dad and is managing a very public divorce. He was cheated on by his former wife and lived through the embarrassment of
The whole world watching it. Since Kenan and Lotus first land eyes on each other, they could see the connection between them two. However, they need to go through some challenges and unexpected situations to see if their connection and their feelings can wind stand the storm around them. Take the time to read this series, you won’t regret it.

“This feeling between us is a tempest, and I have no desire to take shelter. When she kisses me, I forget everything and want to stand in the rain”

I did 1/2 audiobook and 1/2 kindle/Paperback. I have to say that I love this narrators voice.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great love story!

Finally, a love story with age gap love! I loved this story. The only critique I have is the woman narrator. She gave the story some level of justice, but her cadence was off at times to me, and her male voice was more distracting than charming. Jakobi was a 10/10 per usual!

Overall, great story. I’d definitely recommend!
