Long Shot By Kennedy Ryan
Long Shot is an intense romance book that’s a gut-wrenching, heart-breaking, tear-jerking masterpiece. Long Shot by Kennedy Ryan is a brilliant stand-alone sports romance with a forbidden love trope. This intense romance book is one of the best romance novels for adults. The stars of this story, Iris, August, Lotus, Mimi, and Sarai, brought loyalty, love, support, strength, and life to these pages. But this is Iris’ story without any doubt, her character is at the heart of this narrative. Her survival skills, determination, resilience, and deep affection towards August had me turning page after page. I truly recommend reading this intense romance book but be aware, that it does contain topics of domestic/sexual abuse.
