I'm speechless
I didn't think anything by Kennedy Ryan would put me in a emotional roller coaster more than Before I Let Go or the Grip trilogy but boy was I wrong.
This put me through all the emotions, I was angry I was devastated I had butterflies in my stomach anytime August was on the page.
" I would play you at the five"!.
August and Iris had an undeniable connection from the moment they met the night before his National Tital game against his rival. They talk and connect with each other more than with any one else. August fell for her from that moment on.
As they go on their separate ways and Iris and Calebe ( who is a POS)
Who abuses her physically and psychically. And the fact that August would do anything for her and loves her so much. When he finds out what happened to her I had butterflies in my stomach. He was so sweet and protective and he was mad at Caleb for what he did. Please read this if you can, I well never forget this story.

Woah… that was intense!
4.5/5 stars! I was not expecting this book to be that dark but it was extremely dark. Especially for a basketball sports romance. I wouldn’t necessarily consider this a “dark romance” but it was definitely a very serious one with major trigger warnings. Iris’ story completely broke my heart and certain parts were definitely hard to get through. August was so sweet and patient and both him and Iris deserve the world.

It was good.
It definitely needs a trigger warning, this book has some heavy topics in it. Domestic abuse, sexual abuse/rape, and postpartum depression.
I enjoyed listening to it, but when the male voice would do his girl impression it sounded like Michael Jackson to me and I could never get past that LOL.
Decent story, predictable ending, but overall good. Not really memorable characters, but not bad.

Kennedy Ryan is amazing as usual.
The book opened my eyes to a reality too many people go through in silence. This book actually needs a huge trigger warning. But what I learned was important. And the ending warmed my heart. One thing, it’s pronounced ay-too-fay. Lol

Nice ending. Needs an actual trigger warning!!!
“Some aspects of this story may be sensitive for some listeners.” BS! It contains graphic scenes of domestic abuse and rape. It’s not for everyone. I’d have rated this higher if I had been keen enough to read the reviews first. Actually if I had, I’m not sure I would’ve listened to this in the first place, but I digress.
That aside, this book overall was pretty decent. The first like 2/3 of it are difficult and pretty heartbreaking. The details Kennedy goes into are very real, especially through audio. The relationship between Iris and August is well written and yes, the instant connection trope is a little cliche, but it’s prolonged over a few years and builds.
Honestly, I probably won’t move past this one and leave the rest of the series alone because it was a little much for me, but if you can deal with the hard parts, it is a decent story and please read the other Hoops stories and let others know what you think.

Dreary
The story has over detail repetitiveness. The narration done for the female lead sounds like she’s always talking through clenched teeth. Too much “ murmuring” sounds like mumbling. Did not enjoy this as audio.

Great story! Super narrators!
I’ve listened to this story multiple times and it always draws me in. Twists, turns and plot is incredible. Steamy sex and enough love making to make me shiver! Definitely worth the credit!

Not quite romantic
I think there should be some kind of a warning. This books deals with domestic violence and brutal rape. At one point I was going to stop reading but I am sucker and need to know the ending. It was tough read and a bit traumatizing. Not what I would categorize as a romance. It’s a survival story.

MAJOR TRIGGERS
I wish this book would have come with a warning actually - the book is tough to get through. I'm only able to listen to a couple of chapters at a time - and of course with the subject matter the plot and pace make complete sense. It doesn't make it any easier to listen to. I wish I hadn't wasted a credit on it now that I'm almost done but at this point I'm determined to listen to the whole thing at least once, even if afterwards I shelve it and never listen to it again. Unfortunately for me the credit was kind of wasted here but it *is* a powerful book. Just a bit too dark for my tastes. You've been warned.

So Many More Than 5 Stars!!
I am still speechless to what I should be writing for this review. Kennedy Ryan has this beautiful way of telling a story that you can relate to and just be in that moment with her characters. Sean Crisden and Jo Raylan embody everything these characters feel and go through. AMAZING narration!!
Iris and August have a few things in common; 1) they are both huge basketball fans, 2) that they both have troubled pasts that have impact on their lives as adults, and 3) they have this instant connection that can be seen from a mile away. Iris and August meet at a bar on possibly the eve of his biggest game ever. She is watching her favorite team and he is drawn to her like a moth to a flame. They have a wonderful conversation that is easy and charged with sexual chemistry. However, when the bartender lets them know they can't stay any long the two of them have a moment of do I stay or should I go. Because life is complicated they go their separate ways but that one brief encounter forever haunts them. Their story is not an easy one as a matter of fact it is hard, heartbreaking, and just painful at times.
Their story is beautiful, heart breaking, funny, sexy, and so very relevant. There are some trigger warnings for abuse and trauma but if you can just be in the moment with these characters, feel with them there is resolution.
This is specific video review will be included in the August 2018 wrap-up.

Epic!!!
Wow! This book was so good! The narration was super well done! Suspense, angst, drama... this book had me ugly crying in the car line picking up my kids while I was listening. My heart hurt for these characters and some of the scenes were honestly really hard to read but I loved the strength of these characters and the way they found their way to happiness. This is my first Kennedy Ryan book and the writing was off-the-charts amazing, I just bought every book she has so I can read all her words - simply amazing! Long Shot is a top pick of 2018 and going on my favorite heroines shelf. This is an a fantastic story and I highly recommend it! I can't wait for more by this author and these narrators!!!

Emotional rollercoaster
There were a few chapters that were unbearable. One I couldn't finish. That's how raw & good this book was.

Long Shot comes to life!
i read the book and waited for the audio version so I could do a re-read, and it was absolutely worth the wait. Long Shot cane to life with the narrators, and added to the intensity of situations and emotions. It cut straight to the heart.
Long Shot is by far one of the best books I've read. Its a real life story with a very relevant story line, all set in the exciting world of basketball, with all the good, bad and the ugly.
August and Iris. The characters draw you into their lives. You feel their joy, their struggles, their pain, their successes, their loss and their love. "Oh, the feels." They are so real. They're human.
Their story is fiction but it could be your own story. Ok, maybe not being a basketball superstar, but that adds to the depth of the story. I don't want to tell the secrets of the story, but there are parts that will shred you. It will make you really think. Have I ever judged someone before for this very thing? Have I missed something in someone I know? Would I recognize it and how would I handle it? What if it was me?
The supporting characters are equally as engaging. MiMi, Lo, Kenan, Deck, Jared, August's mom.
Love waits. The timing must be right to take the shot.
My favorite quote is "I'd play you at the five".
Long Shot is an absolute "must read". You will love August and Iris. You will be gutted with the story. And you will fall in love as they find the strength to fight their way to that perfect moment and take the long shot.
I think the author just made the game winning shot at the buzzer from mid-court. Long Shot is amazing.

Epic
Kennedy Ryan is brilliant. Her ability to capture Iris's story was gut wrenching, and refreshing. It's that bitter before the sweet. People may not agree with battered women and the choice we made to stay. It's a survival tactic, which builds your strength to leave when the time comes. This is THEE story which identifies with each and every abusive relationship. Kennedy, you are one of my Great eight, you inspire me every day. Thank you.

so much detailed rape.
way too much rape in this book. seriously, even when rape is not happening in graphic, anal ripping detail, she is replaying the rape....just in case we might forget. well written rape porn, but not the book for me.

Heavyweight
Heavyweight in the most beautiful and agonizing ways a story can be! It kept me anxious and angry, frightened and scared. Then there was a light at the and of the longest tunnel. In spite of the very sensitive matter, domestic abuse, the love story is one of unmatched passion and chemistry. We all should be as blessed to have what August and Iris did.

August West!
This was my first Kennedy Ryan's book and won't be the last. This is the first book in the Hoops Series. This forbidden love story, is set in the world of the NBA. This story wasn't what I had expected, it was so much more. The story is well written, realistic and breathtaking. The storyline is filled with angst, drama and suspense. I loved Iris and August. The other characters were also interesting. I can't wait for the next book in the Series! The narration was absolutely stunning, emotional and breathtaking. I really enjoyed my listening and I totally recommend this audiobook.
