This novel tells a story that, unfortunately, is a reality for so many women.
It was emotive and captivating. One minute I was pumping my first into the air with such joy and pride for the FMC, then I was gripped with terror and apprehension, was crying at the trauma she was exposed to and how this is truth for some.
It is a difficult read, very graphic in some parts, but this adds to the story and really gets you to reflect though it is fiction, this is more than just a story.
The author has written this novel in such a way that even though some of the chapters were difficult to read and digest (due to the nature, not the writing). I wanted to, NEEDED to keep reading, to find out if the FMC had a HEA.
I would definitely recommend Long Shot, but please check trigger warnings as the themes in this book may be triggering for many.

I typically don’t go into books knowing what to expect because I read them based on covers or recommendations so the DV in this book was shocking and incredibly graphic. But I felt so many emotions and I loved the MCs. I loved the description of iris’s new orleanean history,
her relationship with Lotus, how she learned from her mistakes. And I loved how gentle August was with her throughout and also learned from his mistakes. I don’t like the miscommunication trope, and appreciate that Ryan didn’t ruin his development with it.
