Long Shot by Kennedy Ryan

5.0

I read the warnings but I was still not prepared for what happened in this book.

The night before August's National Championship game, he meets Iris at a bar. They talk about everything and anything and instantly develop a connection. From then on, he was a goner. The next time he sees her he finds out that she's in a relationship with his rival, Caleb. He sees her only a few more times but can't get her out of his mind. To him, she's the one.

“You’re right.” I loosen my fingers from hers so I can hold her face between both hands. “Going to Houston is my best shot at winning a ring.”
“Then why would you—”
“But staying here,” I cut in, caressing the fullness of her bottom lip with my thumb. “Staying is my best shot at winning you.”


“If you were mine, Iris there would be no doubt what position you’d hold in my life. You’d be center. I’d play you at the five.”

AAAAARRRGGGGHHH! AUUUUUUGGGGUUUUST! You're killing me! ❤❤❤

I had a feeling, that August and Iris' story was gonna be similar to [b:Moonshot|55511314|Moonshot|Alessandra Torre|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1601412019l/55511314._SX50_.jpg|47864597] by A. Torre, one of my fave authors. They had to wait for the right time for them to finally be together.

I loved the characters, the writing, the story. A little heavy on the heart though.
