Hook Shot by Kennedy Ryan
5.0
Hook Shot is a classic Kennedy Ryan novel - she will make you cry, but then heal you. How this author is able to again and again write a book that makes you feel so many things, while giving the hard subject she covers complete justice is just aweing! If you want a book that is unafraid to show what real love, romance and life is about then you need to read a Kennedy Ryan book and this is a great introduction to her amazing writing.
In Hook Shot you get to read about the long awaited story of Kenan Ross and Lotus Dupree. Since the first book in the series I have wanted this story and I was not disappointed. Kenan is a divorced single Dad that is still healing from his life falling apart with his ex-wife's betrayal when he meets a woman that he can't risk passing up, Lotus Dupree. It is not the best timing, since Lotus is trying to work on herself and come to terms with her trauma, but there are some forces that can't be denied and their attraction to one another is one of those forces.
This book was amazing! I loved it so much, because it's not only great writing, but it also talked about subjects that hit close to home for me and those I know. I felt so empathetic with Kenan and his struggles to coparent with his ex, when she was not making it easy and was being openly hostile. The love and maturity that Lotus and Kenan show in working on themselves and taking things slow was so refreshing to see in a romance novel. Watching Lotus' story unfold was absolutely devastating, there were so many people that I wanted to drop kick in this book. It was difficult to read about her trauma, but it lent so much to the story without being too descriptive of the actual events. That is one of the many things that I respect and love about Kennedy Ryan, her talent to write about abuse and mental health in a way that you know what happens, but doesn't linger on it unnecessarily - it is apparent how much respect the author has for others and their traumas in the accuracy and research that she conducts in preparation to write these novels.
Honestly, the only reason not to read this book is if you are not in a place in your life to read about the traumas within. Be sure to read the author's foreward and any triggers the publisher has reported.
Overall, I have yet another book by Kennedy Ryan that I will be lauding forever and ever. I love basically everything she writes, she is always so original and fortunately for me, is a workhorse that publishes on the regular. READ THIS BOOK, it will change you and make you a better person, I know it did that for me. Thank you Kennedy.
