Free Audiobook : Hook Shot (Hoops Series, Book 3), by Kennedy Ryan

In Hook Shot, Kennedy Ryan delivers a soul-stirring finale to the Hoops series, where the courts of the NBA meet the runways of New York’s fashion scene. Kenan Ross, a veteran basketball star known as the Gladiator, is piecing his life back together after a brutal divorce that left him wary of love. When he crosses paths with Lotus DuPree, a vibrant young woman blazing her trail in fashion, a single glance sparks something neither expected, a pull that feels like fate but comes with a warning.

Lotus is a force, fierce and independent, but carrying scars from a past she’s still learning to face. Kenan, a gentle giant with a heart guarded by pain, isn’t looking for love, especially not with someone eleven years younger who challenges his every defense. Yet their connection grows from a fleeting moment into a friendship that simmers with unspoken desire, forcing them to confront their fears and the risks of opening up again. Ryan’s storytelling weaves raw emotion with tender hope, making every heartbeat of their journey resonate.

Narrated with gripping intensity by Jakobi Diem and Mia Ellis, this audiobook pulls you into a world of slow-burn romance and hard-won healing. It’s a story of two souls finding strength in each other, navigating trust and trauma with a love that feels like coming home.
