Block Shot

Hoops Series, Book 2

De: Kennedy Ryan

Narrado por: Teddy Hamilton, Seraphina Valentine

JARED

If I had a dollar for every time Banner Morales made my heart skip a beat...

The heart everyone assumes is frozen over.

Her anger is...arousing.

Every glare from those fire-spitting eyes, every time she grits her teeth, gets me...well, you know.

If I had a dollar for every time she's put me in my place, I'd be an even richer man.

I'm a successful sports agent because I assume "no" means you'll think about it.

I'm sure what you meant to say is, "Coming right up."

They say even rich men don't always get what they want, but those men don't know how to play the game.

The trick is to keep them guessing. Take Banner.

She assumes she's winning, but this game?

She doesn't even know how to play.

BANNER

If I had a dollar for every time Jared Foster broke my heart, I'd have exactly one dollar.

One night. One epic fail. One dollar...and I'm out.

I've moved on. I've found success in a field ruled by men.

Anything they can do, I have done better.

They can keep the field while I call the shots, blocking them when I have to.

And Jared has the nerve to think he gets a second chance?

Boy, please. Go sit down. Have several seats.

I'll just be over here ignoring the man carved from my fantasies with a lust-tipped chisel.

Oh, I didn't say the struggle wasn't real.

But I've got that one dollar, and Jared won't have me.

Strong characters & powerful writing makes best audio!

Kennedy Ryan writes such powerful characters that are unapologetic and so real. Banner is a latina who is Mensa smart but struggled with weight issues and Jared is a heartless (or so he thought) who fell hard for her in college but due to a misunderstanding, they parted on very bad terms. I love how strong Banner is and Seraphina Valentine totally brought it. The badass sports agent who a heart of a lion. Teddy Hamilton did a phenomenal job bringing Jared to life in all his dickishness. He loves her with all his heart and would do anything for her. Sooo powerful and the sexy times are crazy hot. Definitely going to my re-listen list! One of the best in 2019!

This Made Me A Believer!!!

Block Shot by Kennedy Ryan

OMG! This book! This book is everything!
It had me gripped and caring about the characters from the start. A page tuner to say the least, I had to know what was going to happen. It made my heart race and made me bite my nails...and I am not a nail biter.
Jared and Banner made me want and want and want that hot ripeness they oozed, that hard to contain sexual chemistry that would not be denied.
And the narration was perfect! Teddy Hamilton and Seraphina Valentine breathed life into this story effortlessly. I loved every word uttered from their mouths.
Thank you Kennedy Ryan for writing this book and getting narrators who did justice to your work. You all get the Gold medal of excellence!!

Fantastic!

Wow! Where can I start with this one? Block Shot is my first read by Kennedy Ryan and I’m blown away. I’m an avid reader and never have I come across such a strong, independent, loving character as Banner! She is female embodiment personified. I love that she’s not a perfect size 2. I love that she is Latina. I love that she has insecurities, but still chooses to live her best life. I love that she is deeply loyal and strong. I love that she is attracted to Jared, her opposite. That being said, I also loved Jared. His love for Banner was all consuming and soul shaking. He loved her for her mind, and her soul and body. While their journey was never easy and their path unsure, ultimately their love brought then back together. Block Shot is emotional and real and raw and I loved every minute of it!

EDIT: After reading this book I listened to the audiobook and it was everything I could have hoped for and more. Teddy and Seraphina truly brought the story to life.

Wow!

Hot, Emotional and at times slap-worthy! The characters were great and although I don’t usually write reviews, (not sure why, I listen to about 5 books a week), I loved this one. Such a myriad of emotions but all appropriate and fleeting as not to ruin the book for me because they linger too long. I have not read/listened to a lot of books by this author but I’m interested in trying out more to see if they are of similar intensity.

Stuck to every word

This was full of emotions but good a good read. I listen to books while I work but I “couldn’t put it down” I had to find out what happened next.

Perfectly imperfect characters

Let me start by saying that I loved the narration! It was a plus to have a Latina character. Loved that the characters were not perfect but in the end you love them for being unapologetically them.

True love

I love that their story begun hate that they didn’t really fully got to see what it would’ve been but love how everything comes together

Better than I thought

I thought Book 2 would’ve directly followed Book 1. But once I got into a few chapters I got over it. This story line is great just a Book 1. I’m expecting Book 3 to pick up from a different story line.

It was cute , but banner…..girl

The overall story was very cute. Very nice but banner would sometimes get on my nerves.. I felt like she was doing the most at times, but the story was still really cute 

Friendship

I Appreciated the friendship and loyalty dynamics more than anything. Great follow up book to keep this series moving forward!!
