I liked this one. I felt like Simone shouldve been 9 or 10 instead of 14 though, her dialogue made her seems like she should be a lot younger. Loved this series!

“What if she gave me to you?” I bend to whisper over her lips. “What if I’m your gris gris now?”
Trigger warning: Rape, sexual assault, suicide, grief, divorce, broken families, trauma and PTSD.
I cannot believe I have to an end to this beautifully written series.
Kennedy Ryan literally struck an arrow in my heart and introduced me to her world.
Each series is beautiful on its own and I can't pick a favourite, however Hook Shot definitely was so emotional and tugged the strings of my heart.
We follow Lotus and Kenan who are facing different struggle in their life.
They swear off relationships, and trust is something to be earned.
Reading Hook Shot definitely made me even believe in fate. I believe in fate and how it stumbles into our life.
Sometimes love happens, can be the wrong place and time, but what will always find its way back to each other.
I enjoyed the two POVS and character growth for each of them.
With how their life is individual and how it affects them and their relationship.
The decisions they have to make, sacrifices and patience.
Lotus, our brave, fierce boss, definitely went through so much in her life and following her journey was heartbreaking but hopefully. It's difficult to face trauma but with time and the right people, she found her own happiness not saying the trauma ever goes away, but she found her balance of facing with it.
While following Kenan's journey in balancing his career, relationship and co-parenting.
The idea and plotline of seeing a counselor is such a big eye opener, as it might seem taboo or something is wrong when one seeks help.
Their chemistry was raw, honest, and natural. They are so beautiful individually, but together they create a rainbow in each other's life.
Kennedy Ryan did a phenomenal job with this series.
Not only did she write an amazing sports romance but writing on real-life issues that we avoid having conversations in real life, her story gives people hope and conversation starter on how we can help others and change how society sees them.
“Nothing against fake lashes. I just don’t like it when the woman blinking them is fake, too.”

i can’t believe i finished this series already.
i enjoyed every minute in this book, and i think i loved kenan and lotus the most out of the series. i disliked the second book, but kennedy ryan redeemed herself once again in hook shot.
lotus is an incredibly strong woman, i aspire to be like her. i definitely was more intrigued with kenan’s side, though. the single dad trope is one of my favorite tropes of all time, so i was interested to witness how he got out of his relationship and everything— which brings me to my next point.
i wished i saw more of how kenan filed a divorce with bridget. it was only mentioned that it was a struggle to file a divorce, but kennedy ryan didn’t actually show the whole process. likewise, i also didn’t like how everything was clamped in a year. the whole story happening in a year simply feels unrealistic. i don’t like rushed stories, so maybe that’s why i found it a little bit annoying.
overall, i loved this book so much. it might have some plot holes, but i think kennedy ryan wrapped this series up perfectly.

this one is definitely the best out of the series. i loved both main characters and felt very comfortable with the energy they had around themselves.

This book was so good I could FEEL their love for each other. Not only that but I loved how healthy and mature this relationship was. There was self awareness and communication and they understood each other’s boundaries and were even taking time off to help his daughter adjust. Their relationship wasn’t selfish they thought about the others around them. Also I LOVED Iris and lotus’ relationship I feel like we didn’t see much of it in the first book but in this one we saw just how much they meant to each other and I truly believe they are soulmates. The way Iris asked her to be there for her sons birth and the way Iris came running when Lotus was raped as a kid I just love them so much. And Lotus. Don’t even get me started on her she’s so strong and smart and her power is unworldly. She’s my favorite.
