Review: HOOPS Holiday: A HOOPS Novella by Kennedy Ryan

Review of HOOPS Holiday: A HOOPS Novella by Kennedy Ryan



Full Court Press

Apparently this was originally included in the TEAM PLAYER Anthology, but I didn't get a chance to read it back then. I'm really glad I got to read it now, though, because it's fabulous!!


Mackenzie Decker (Deck) is a rookie NBA player in his second year when he first meets Avery, a sports reporter. When his towel accidentally drops while she's interviewing him, let's just say it doesn't leave Avery with a very good impression. Years later, after she's moved up in the sports reporting ranks and Deck has retired from playing, their reunion isn't anymore positive than their last meeting. If Deck has anything to say about it, though, this will be a very good partnership indeed!


But Avery isn't in the emotional or mental state for what Deck has in mind for the two of them. She's experienced something that most people will never, should never, experience, and it's scarred her and closed her heart off from love and emotion. Will Deck be able to give her the time, the space, she needs before she's fully able to go to him and give herself to him fully?


I absolutely loved Full Court Press!! It's a sweet, emotional, sexy holiday read with much more depth than the average fluffy holiday romance. It reads like a full length novel rather than a short story or novella. Avery and Deck are perfect together once they finally are able to be a couple. Kennedy Ryan never fails to deliver sexy, emotionally substantial reads, and Full Court Press is one of her best. I'm so looking forward to more of the Hoops series and more in general from her.

Review: One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti

Review of One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti ONE LITTLE LIE Hollis is a good girl with a crush on a broody musician. Unfortunately, that boy, Adam, hates her. Why? Because the chip on his shoulder leaves him thinking good girl, rich girl Hollis is a lemming like everyone else in their small town. Which makes it even more unfortunate when years after their high school encounter, Hollis' best friend tries to stick up for her and ends up telling her parents that Adam is the the boyfriend Hollis doesn't actually have. Oops. How will Hollis ever convince Adam to go along with her little lie? I really liked One Little Lie. Hollis is a really naive girl, but she has such a huge heart that I couldn't help but fall in love with her spirit. She's so sweet, so compassionate, the kind of person this world needs more of. Adam, on the other hand, eh, he didn't do much for me. His chip on the shoulder, broody asshole attitude did nothing to endear me to him, but because H...

Evan—the guy my parents took in years a...
