Hoops Shorts

A HOOPS Novella Collection

De: Kennedy Ryan

Narrado por: Mari, Jacob Morgan, Andi Arndt, Connor Crais

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?

Back to Hoops

A nice way to fall back into the Hoops universe. With little cameos of beloved characters. And the stories stand on their own merit. “Fast Break” was short and sweet. While “Full-Court Press” told a more in depth story of the ways Avery & Decker had loved and lost, yet still dared to try again.

Love it!

This Writer is Outstanding! She's just so talented and I have enjoyed everything of hers.

Short and love the crossover....

I really enjoyed these 2 shorts as part of the larger hoop series. they were independent but really good to have cameos from some of the characters in the series. these individuals were embedded in the others as friends and I was always curious about coaches relationship with the TV newscaster. Great sex scenes as always in a Kennedy book but more importantly great chemistry between the characters.

Cute Shorts!

I love the writing style of Ms Ryan. These were cute novellas with great narrators!

Love These Extra Stories

FULL COURT PRESS
5 ⭐ 3 🌶️ 5 🎧

Gahhhhhh these two are so sweet and I swear it's so like Kennedy to be like, oh hey here's a novella THAT'LL RIP YOUR HEART OUT, I mean sheesh, usually novellas are lighthearted lol BUT it was so so good and worth the pain. Decker and Avery were so meant to be and the only thing I wish we got more of was Deck's single dad-ness. I adored Kiara.

FAST BREAK
5 ⭐ 3 🌶️ 5 🎧

My goodness I loved these two. I adored Quinn from the first time we met her in Long Shot, but my adoration only skyrocketed when she got her own novella. Her story showcased her resilience and strength and I just loved her, and Ean, so much.

Audio was perfect to boot. I love Andi Arndt so dang much and she made this such a treat to listen to.

Loved It!

Great storylines! Ms. Ryan’s writing is always flawless and she delivered once again with this book! I’ve always wanted to know about Decker and Avery’s story and was so glad to hear it! Well done! I loved Ean and Quinn’s story as well!

Another Great Story!

Beautiful story filled with love, joy, disappointment, and triumph! A wonderful testament to strength and perseverance.

Incredible!!!

• 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!

Short but cute…

I love how the author took other characters from the previous books and told their stories. Great read!

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.
