Publisher's summary

Two novellas from Kennedy Ryan's critically acclaimed Hoops Series!

Full-Court Press (Avery + Deck's story)

MacKenzie Decker was a question Avery never got to ask, much less an answer. They met when she was a young reporter fueled by ambition, and the ink on Deck's first NBA contract was barely dry. Years later, they've climbed so high and lost so much, but one thing hasn't changed—the attraction that simmered between them in a locker room before is still there. With success like theirs, everything has been possible...except them. But that was then.

The only question is...what about now?

Fast Break (Quinn + Ean's story)

Quinn was a world-class runner once.

My dreams had wings spun from wind and speed. Every time out of the blocks was a glorious flight. But then, I crashed and burned. When I lost my leg, I thought it was the finish line. Little did I know life was just beginning. Now they call me “America’s titanium sweetheart.” (What can I say? It tested well. LOL) The life I thought was over is moving so fast. I have my own gym, a fitness app, a clothing line, and an endless trail of endorsements. One thing there’s never time for? Love. One thing I don’t have time for? Games. Come real, or don’t come at all. In a field full of players, I’m looking for a real one. Otherwise, I won’t stop.

Ean had hoops dreams.

I wanted to be like Mike, jump like magic and soar like Dr. J. But a college injury grounded me. What I thought was game over, actually opened up a whole new world. Fast forward to now, I’m coaching some of the NBA’s best. They call me "the machine" because I’m obsessed with stats and data, and my near-photographic memory means I remember every play. I see the court clearly. But I never saw her coming. Quinn Barrow stops me in my tracks. Pursuing my first championship, there’s been no time for love. I’m more than willing to chase her, but will she slow down long enough to be caught?

• Thoughts:
Quinn and Ean!! Whhhaaaaatt?!?! Oh my friends it was beautiful! I was excited for Avery and Decker! I was practically giddy and acting like a 7th grade girl because the cute boy smiled at you! With Quinn and Ean. This story was so awesome! I can't get over how much these two complimented each other and how much I adored them as a couple. I can honestly say. I do wish this novella could have been a little longer. But I am being selfish because of how much I liked them as a couple and wanted their story to just continue.

Narrators: Connor Crais and Andi Arndt are the narrators. So naturally, it was epic and you will hear ZERO complaints from me! They Re both talented narrators and I know my ears are in for a treat!

Wow

I know we must write keeping in mind a minimum word count. My title says it all. This book and audio touches on 2 sensitive topics that are handled in such a perfect way. I don't think I have been moved by a story in such a way before. You will certainly be moved by these characters. Please enjoy.

Must Read Romances!

I’m amazed at the powerful punches these two novellas packed. Per usual, Kennedy Ryan delivered!

Full-Court Press
“I don’t look at Avery like she’s dessert, I look at her like she’s the main course.”

From the moment they met via Deck only in a towel, I could feel the chemistry then. The attraction was palpable. But, time wasn’t on their side. Years later, Avery and Deck discover those feelings haven’t went away. Deck was ready to go all in. Understandably, Avery had hesitance in starting a new relationship but Deck was patient. I loved his willingness to wait and the way he truly cared for Avery and wanted more than a fling. Avery was full of grit and determination, you couldn’t help being inspired. Their story was emotional, sexy sweet and one you won’t want to end. And wow, just when you thought it couldn’t get better, you have Jacob Morgan and Mari narrating and they did a phenomenal job. They brought out all the emotions for a story you truly felt.


Fast Break
“She turns my head. She speeds my pulse. She makes me want to slow down.”

Ok so I am a full on sucker for the “he falls first”! Ean was a dreamboat. I loved how was tenacious in going for what he wanted. From changing meetings last minute to flying out for a day, he was willing to go whatever it took to prove to Quinn he was the man for her. Quinn though, my gawd she was more than a survivor, she was straight up #goals. It was the resilience for me. Her and Ean’s story hit you right in the feels. It was a sizzling hawt romance that you will devour and have you wishing for more. Conner Crais and Andi Arndt just slayed the narration. They made the perfect Ean and Quinn and truly brought this story to life!

Full Court Press!

I loved these shorts. Full Court Press was my favorite of the two, but this could be that it was a little longer and more in-depth than Fast Break. Both were beautiful stories with strong FMC and the MMC falls first. I absolutely loved Deck. The way he loves Avery had me balling my eyes out.
