Block Shot

Hoops Series, Book 2

By: Kennedy Ryan

Narrated by: 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.

This audio is amazing!!!

Jared bulldozed himself into Banner's life. Kennedy Ryan wrote a great book here.
The narration by Teddy was excellent. I've read many a book narrated by him but he keeps getting better and better. Worth the credit. And I loved Seraphina. Everything about this audio was a winner.

Angst galore!!!

Block Shot was good. It was a tumultuous journey riddled with angst, love, acceptance, steam and so much more. I loved it but there were a few things that I didn't care but I don't want to go into detail about it because I don't want to spoil this story for others. Banner and Jared's journey wasn't easy but it was oh so satisfying. I loved these two even when I didn't care for some of their actions. The narrators did an absolutely amazing job bringing these characters to life as well as the emotional upheaval that was their lives. I definitely recommend it.

The authentic love

Jared being the jerk he is and being tamed by his opposite was an epic love story!

One thing.

The only thing I would have liked to be different is the Weight Watchers and weight loss not happening as a mandatory prerequisite to the FMC’s success. Yeah she’s still shapely but she’s not like she was in college and thusly, doesn’t drive forth the point that even fat women (people) can be successful and loved purely. But I love the book. It’s added to my favorites.

Love hate relationship

I absolutely love Banner and her killer instincts when it came to making business moves, but hated how she was attracted to the typical entitled dude, ugh. The chemistry was unmatched and I thoroughly enjoyed how her self esteem developed into loving herself.
