Why read it?
3 authors picked Long Shot as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

For most of this book, Iris is in and out of an abusive relationship (big content warnings for domestic violence and sexual assault). Our sweet, lovable hero, August supports Iris the best he can from afar but he is not the one to swoop in and save her. And let me tell you, I really wanted him to swoop! Kennedy Ryan puts the reader…
From Melissa's list on romance in which the heroine saves herself.
Long Shot is the most brutally honest and beautiful romance novel I have ever read, and undoubtedly one of my top reads of all time. There are so many elements of this story I loved, but what I loved most was how fearlessly Kennedy Ryan tackled the taboo subject of abuse -- specifically in the sports world. Full of heartache and evocative hope, this is an absolute must-read.
From Kandi's list on sports romances for that fuzzy fall feeling.
Kennedy is a fantastic writer, who brings you into the world of the NBA as if you've always belonged there. She's an emotional and gripping storyteller, who will have you holding your breath during certain moments, and wiping your tears in others. This story isn't for the faint of heart, but it's one of the best.
