“In the shadow of the place I thought was safe, I realize it’s not a tree, a city, or a particular place where I find safety. It’s in Kenan’s arms, in the harbor of his love. That’s the safest place I’ve ever known.”
2024 reread :
No, I don't think you understand : I'M OBSESSED! LotusKenan forever and ever and ever loves of my life!
2023 reread :
Yeah... I think it is safe to say that this reread upped this from my favorite in this series to my favorite ever! If I could give this more than 5 stars, I would in a heartbeat!! I just know this will not be my last reread for sure.. Lotus and Kenan absolutely own my heart!
2021 read :
THIS IS, HANDS DOWN, MY FAVORITE BOOK AND COUPLE IN THE ENTIRE SERIES (which is saying something since I loved the other two couples immensely!!)
Kenan and Lotus have my entire fucking heart and have officially made it to my all time favorite couples ever, and to the top of the list of Kennedy Ryan's couples alongside BristolGrip! I LOVE THEM SO FUCKING MUCH I DON'T HAVE THE WORDS!!!

What can you say about a book that was so amazing in every way possible?
After reading Long Shot and Block Shot, we all couldn't wait to ready about Lo and Kenan. Talk about ALL.THE.FEELS!! I am still thinking about this book after all this time. It was so beautifully written.
#KeLo have such an intense connection, you felt it from the first time they met. I really don't want to get into specifics because you have to experience this book for yourself. Kennedy draws you in with her words and when you are done, you won't be the same. You will want more. :)
Another fantastic read and I can't wait to see what she has in store for us next.

The love story between Kenan and Lotus is truly heartwarming. Kenan's loving, respectful, and understanding nature shines through as he supports Lotus's wish to progress their relationship at her own pace. It's admirable how Lotus confronts her past to build the future she desires. The most enchanting aspect of their bond is Kenan's candid expression of his feelings for Lotus, setting a beautiful example of open emotional communication in a relationship.

While we had a case of love-at-first-sight on our hands (with a moment that happened in the first book), the rest of the book was soooo slow. It took me a little while to see the chemistry between our two main characters. Especially since I had high hopes for this couple's story after having read the first (two) books in the series.
Other than that, this story had solid writing and I always love the themes that Kennedy Ryan explores in her books. Though these themes could have been explored even more. And I missed the "world" in which this story was set. I would have loved more fashion and more basketball. Also, prioritise your kids, please!

Yes Kennedy! I’m not sure if this one overtakes my love for book 1 but it’s definitely pushing. They are both so easy to love. I actually appreciated his breakthrough in understanding his role with Bridget. I spent most of the book thinking how dare she! She was wrong, and so was he. He abandoned their marriage in a different, less public way!
