Opinião: "Reel"

Autor: Kennedy Ryan
Série: Hollywood Renaissance #1
Editor: Scribechick Media
Edição: Junho de 2021
ASIN: B091G3LF8S
Páginas: 434


Sinopse: Award-Winning Wall Street Journal bestselling author Kennedy Ryan launches a brand-new series with a Hollywood tale of wild ambition, artistic obsession, and unrelenting love.

One moment in the spotlight...

For months I stood by, an understudy waiting in the wings, preparing for my time to shine.
I never imagined he would watch in the audience that night.
Canon Holt.
Famous film director. Fascinating. Talented. Fine
Before I could catch my breath, everything changed. I went from backstage Broadway to center stage Hollywood.
From being unknown, to my name, Neevah Saint, on everyone's lips.
Canon casts me in a star-studded Harlem Renaissance biopic, catapulting me into another stratosphere.
But stars shine brightest in the dead of night.
Forbidden attraction, scandal and circumstances beyond my control jeopardize my dream.
Could this one shot — the role of a lifetime, the love of a lifetime — cost me everything?

Opinião: "Fast Break"

Autor: Kennedy Ryan
Série: Hoops #3.5
Edição/reimpressão: Junho de 2022
ASIN: B09Y8C65Z7
Páginas: 64


Sinopse: Quinn
I was a world-class runner once.
My dreams had wings spun from wind and speed.
Every time out of the blocks was a glorious flight.
But then I crashed and burned.
When I lost my leg, I thought it was the finish line
Little did I know, life was just beginning
Now they call me “America’s Titanium Sweetheart.”
(What can I say? It tested well. LOL)
The life I thought was over is moving so fast.
I have my own gym, a fitness app, a clothing line, and an endless trail of endorsements.
One thing there’s never time for? Love.
One thing I don’t have time for? Games.
Come real, or don’t come at all. In a field full of players, I’m looking for a real one.
Otherwise, I won’t stop.

Ean
I had hoops dreams. I wanted to be like Mike, jump like Magic and soar like Dr. J.
But a college injury grounded me. What I thought was game over, actually opened up a whole new world.
Fast forward to now. I’m coaching some of the NBA’s best.
They call me The Machine because I’m obsessed with stats and data, and my near-photographic memory means I remember every play.
I see the court clearly. But I never saw her coming. Quinn Barrow stops me in my tracks.
Pursuing my first championship, there’s been no time for love.
I’m more than willing to chase her, but will she slow down long enough to be caught?

Opinião: "Hook Shot"

Autor: Kennedy Ryan
Série: Hoops #3
Editor: Scribechick Media
Edição/reimpressão: Março de 2019
ASIN: B07Q3ZD34K
Páginas: 443


Sinopse: From New York Times bestselling author Kennedy Ryan comes the emotional final installment of the Hoops trilogy.

She's not the plan he made, but she's the risk he has to take.

A single, divorced dad in the final years of his basketball career, Kenan Ross's perfect life has blown up in his face. He's still picking up the pieces when he meets Lotus DuPree. A wildflower. A storm. A kick to his gut and a wrench in his plans from the moment their eyes meet. He promised himself he'd never trust a woman again, but he's never wanted anyone the way he wants Lo.

At twenty-five, Lotus is finally living out her dream, becoming a force in New York's fashion scene. Focused on her future and not looking for love, she's seen where trusting a man leaves you. Kenan is the last thing she needs. But from the moment they meet, she's drawn in, even if he's eleven years her senior and her opposite in every way.

When Kenan moves to New York for the summer to be near his daughter, Lotus can no longer avoid the attraction that pulses between them―but she still won't let him in. Not after what she's been through. Except Kenan wants her so badly, he'll do anything to knock down her defenses.

He won't give up on her...and soon, she's no longer sure she wants him to.

Sinopse: A jock, a journalist and a second chance...

MacKenzie Decker was a question Avery never got to ask, much less answer.
They met when she was a young reporter fueled by ambition, and the ink on Deck's first NBA contract was barely dry. Years later, they've climbed so high and lost so much, but one thing hasn't changed. The attraction that simmered between them in a locker room before is still there. With success like theirs, everything has been possible... except them.

That was then.
But what about now?

*Hoops Holiday Collection consists of FULL-COURT PRESS, a HOOPS novella originally published in the TEAM PLAYER Anthology. It has been expanded with all-new, never-before-published content & epilogue.

It also includes Christmas-themed short stories for characters from LONG SHOT and BLOCK SHOT, books 1 and 2 of the series.

Opinião: "Block Shot"

Autor: Kennedy Ryan
Série: Hoops #2
Edição/reimpressão: Setembro de 2018
ASIN: B07H6WR86T
Páginas: 444


Sinopse: An enemies-to-lovers second chance standalone romance set in the cutthroat world of sports management.

They're two sharks in a fish tank...

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.

Opinião: "Swipe"

Autor: Kennedy Ryan
Formato: Audiolivro
Narradores: Grace Grant e John Lane
Editor: Read Me Romance
Edição/reimpressão: Dezembro de 2018
Páginas: -


Sinopse: For the last two years Miko Riley has mourned her husband, a famous, bestselling novelist. While grieving, she put her heart and libido on ice, but she’s finally thawing. And who better to bring the heat than Adam Stone, the editor who secretly harbored feelings for Miko, but missed his shot years ago?

They’ve always been careful to ignore the connection, the attraction that flared between them. Now that they’re both hot, hungry and single, careful is the last thing they want to be.

They’d rather get burned.


A minha opinião: Swipe é a história de Miko Riley e Adam Stone. Eles são amigos há anos, e Adam é apaixonado por ela desde que a conheceu. Mas conheceu-a por ser o editor do marido dela, de quem também era amigo, por isso ela esteve sempre off limits.

Quando se encontram numa cerimónia de atribuição póstuma de um prémio ao marido de Miko, um famoso escritor que morreu há dois anos, e ela lhe confidencia que está pronta para avançar e que resolveu inscrever-se num site de encontros, Adam percebe que tem, finalmente, a sua hipótese com ela.

Contudo, há segredos e mágoas que, depois de desvendados, poderão significar que nem sequer chegarão a ter uma chance. E quando Miko deixar uma decisão crucial nas mãos de Adam, conseguirá ele fazer a escolha certa?

Swipe foi, provavelmente, a minha novela favorita das que já ouvi no Read Me Romance. Adorei o facto de ser tão real e identificável. Amei o Adam e o facto de ter amado e sofrido em silêncio tantos anos, mas nunca ter traído uma amizade que, provavelmente, nem merecia. E adorei também a Miko e a forma como se comportou sempre com dignidade, mesmo quando estava a morrer por dentro. Ela merece um homem como o Adam!

Quero muito ler mais livros da autora!
