You know those romance novels that affect you so deeply you still think of them months or years later?⁠ ⁠ Hook Shot is one of those for me. It was the first Kennedy Ryan book I ever read and a revelation in how a romance novel can tackle deep trauma but remain powerfully uplifting.⁠ ⁠

Its heroine, Lotus DuPree, is a larger than life goddess of a woman wrapped in a tiny, tattooed package. Fierce, funny & captivating, she's made a prominent place for herself in the design world and owns every room she walks into with the force of her charisma.⁠ ⁠
