Long Shot by Kennedy Ryan

haleymfischer's review against another edition

It's not fair of me to rate this book because the audiobook narrator for Iris made me want to destroy my car's stereo.

With that said, just based off the story, this was likely a 3-ish star for me. It was both heartbreaking and heartwarming but, at times, a little overdramatic.

Holy trigger warnings, I don’t think I was ready.

I thought that this book may be the one I ended up liking the least when I was initially looking into the series because of the tropes and plot etc, so I’m not surprised with my feelings.

It was written well (and I’m a hard sell on a sports romance) and I am super excited to continue the series.

Not a bad book, just not for me.

Check the trigger warnings bc it is pretty graphic and I did not and was therefore real surprised and not at all prepared. 

At one point the fmc gets raped at gun point (actually several times), she gets beaten, isolated, degraded and basically forced to have her baby and be with her abuser

I gave it 3stars at first but I realised that I was waiting for the book to become enjoyable for most of the book and it only got enjoyable at the 70ish mark therefore 2 stars
