Jumia Books Hook Shot - Kennedy Ryan

"Hook Shot" by Kennedy Ryan is the third book in the Hoops series, focusing on the romance between Kenan Ross, a single, divorced NBA player, and Lotus DuPree, a talented fashion designer in New York City. Kenan, who is protective of his teenage daughter and wary of trusting women after a messy, public divorce, is drawn to Lotus from the moment he sees her. Lotus, on the other hand, is dealing with deep-seated trauma from her past, including childhood sexual abuse and abandonment by her mother, which makes her hesitant to open up or trust Kenan.

Their relationship begins with a spark at a fashion event where Kenan is modeling, and despite their initial reservations and emotional baggage, they develop a strong connection built on mutual respect and vulnerability. The story explores themes of trust, healing, and personal growth as Kenan supports Lotus in confronting her past and encourages her to seek professional help. Meanwhile, Lotus helps Kenan balance his demanding career and fatherhood.

The novel handles difficult topics sensitively while delivering a heartfelt story of two broken people finding love and healing together. It combines steamy romance with meaningful character development, making it a standout conclusion to the Hoops trilogy
