From award-winning author Kennedy Ryan comes the steamy, powerful second installment of the Hoops trilogy. If Jared Foster had a dollar for every time Banner Morales made his heart skip a beat-the heart everyone assumes is frozen over-he'd be richer than he already is. He's found success as a sports agent by always assuming "no" means "I'll think about it." And he knows Banner's thinking about him. Her simmering anger? The way she puts him in his place? Foreplay. She thinks she's won the game, but they're just getting started. If Banner had a dollar for every time Jared broke her heart, she'd have exactly one dollar. One epic failure of a night. After parting on such bad terms, Banner has no intention of ever giving Jared a second chance. She's found success in a field ruled by men like him. She's learned to call the shots and block them when she has to. So she'll ignore the way he makes her heart pound. Sure, he seems carved from her most private fantasies, but she can get past that. She's got her one dollar, and Jared won't have her.

Ugh this book was so hard to get through and I nearly DNFd it a few times.
My main issue with this entire book was Jared. Now I love an alpha hero, but Jared was just a dick. An arrogant, selfish dick. Every word which came out of his mouth made me roll my eyes, and whenever he talked about ‘taking Banner back', it just sounded so cold and shady. There was just nothing redeeming about him.
Although it was rough, I've decided on a 2.5 star ratings for 3 reasons:
1 - Kennedy Ryan's writing is great.
2 - Banner and Zo (it should have been their love story!)
3 - The epilogue. It was a good epilogue. It will give it half a star.
I have a feeling that book 3 about Lotus and Keenan will be more like book 1, so I am going to continue and read that one, as well as reading other Kennedy Ryan books. I think this one just didn't gel with me and that's okay.
