MacKenzie Decker was a question Avery never got to ask, much less answer.
They met when she was a young reporter fueled by ambition, and the ink on Deck's first NBA contract was barely dry. Years later, they've climbed so high and lost so much, but one thing hasn't changed. The attraction that simmered between them in a locker room before is still there. With success like theirs, everything has been possible . . . except them.
That was then.
But what about now?
*Also contains new, never-before published Christmas-themed content from LONG SHOT and BLOCK SHOT. You don't have to read those books before the FULL-COURT PRESS novella!
"This girl - one look and one question tells me I can't have my way with her. I never could resist a challenge."
Getting a new book by an author you love is bliss. Getting an addition to a book you never thought you'd get is like CHRISTMAS!! Kennedy Ryan is a top FIVE author for me. I have read EVERY single one of her books and have loved them all. I love the eloquence in which she tells a story, but I love the truth in her words that much more. It's probably ridiculous how much I love her stories of love and triumph, but she is a very brilliant and gifted storyteller.
With this triple novella, I happily got a little bit more of Decker and Avery! I wasn't able to spend much time with them since they were originally a novella in an anthology, so their story was short and sweet and a kind of prequel to the HOOPS series. Even though this novella kicked off that series, I must say...they definitely enjoyed their own beginning. I loved Decker and Avery. I loved that original novella very much, but adding a little bit more - well, sure I loved it, but now it makes me want their full story that much more!! They have unbelievable chemistry and it danced throughout the pages.
In addition to the added content in Full Court Press, we got little "stocking stuffer" additions to some of my favorite couples' stories. I have been screaming about Long Shot and Block Shot since I read them earlier this year. I already loved Kennedy's words before, but these stories stand out among the crowd. The stories stuck with me emotionally and mentally for quite some time after I read them, so to be able to get another glimpse into the lives of August and Iris, as well as Jared and Banner, well - that was a fun little tease at how they are doing after we closed the pages of their books. So fun. I'm not going to lie, short and sexy, and very to the point were these little stories....but so welcome because of the love she poured onto the pages. Snippets of sexiness, I will call them.
HOWEVER. Yes, there is that word again. My patience is wearing thin because what did Kennedy do? She gave me juuuussst a bit more of Lotus and Kenan again to make me remember whyyyy I am waiting so desperately for their story in HOOK SHOT. Coming in early 2019, the wait has been a long time coming because the mystery that surrounds Lotus alone makes me desperate to read her story, but the desires, the pull, the need that Kenan has makes me giddy. Yet, Kennedy throws in that little eyebrow raising, gasp inducing comment at the very end of August and Iris's stocking stuffer and I fuh-reaked out!! Argh!! What're you doing to meeee?? Hence my patience running low because the anticipation alone is making me wanna pace and Kennedy Ryan is a mastermind at building anticipation.
I haven't yet decided if Kennedy is a mastermind at storytelling or teasing me. Just kidding. The storytelling wins out, but she sure can tease me well!!

~MEET KENNEDY RYAN~
I'm a wife, a mom, a writer, an advocate for families living with autism. That's me in a nutshell. Crack the nut, and you'll find a Southern girl gone Southern California who loves pizza and Diet Coke, and wishes she got to watch a lot more television. You can usually catch me up too late, on social media too much, or FINALLY putting a dent in my ever-growing To Be Read list!
~CONNECT WITH KENNEDY~
