Lotus and Kenan might be my favorite couple in the hoops series. Love the flash backs to the previous couples. Kennedy Ryan is still queen mother of romance!!!!🥰

Kennedy Ryan has dove it again!!!! The way I am swooning over Mr. Judah Cross 🥰 is sickening. However, the journey that Soledad takes to find self love is what made this an 5⭐️ read for me. Also, as someone who works with children with autism, the representation was done so well.

This book will live rent free in my mind for a while. OMG….the banter between Ezra and Ricki has me grinning from ear to ear. Mrs Della has a special place in my heart ♥️.

This book had me on my toes from page one. It hits  many hard topics and sheds light on how we all have prejudices.

This is my first Frieda McFadden book and I can say it won’t be my last. I had a good time with this book and it definitely kept me on my toes with what I thought was going on.

 The depth that Akwaeke was able to reach while still keeping a simplistic writing style  was refreshing  and a joy to read.

This is NOT just your run of the mill romance, but none of Kennedy Ryan’s books are. She is such a crafts(wo)man with words and was able to write on hard subject matters in a way that is informative for the audience and still respectful of anyone that may have experienced it.

Throughly enjoyed these characters and this book I just wish the epilogue was either the last chapter and that’s how it ends or not included.
