Recommendation
I am officially shook. I’m not really sure what I was expecting with this book, but what I got was turned upside down and inside out, then spun around a few times. This is a story of fated love… the I’ve known you my whole life, my soul is at peace when you are near, 2 pieces of a puzzle, zsa zsa zsu off the charts connection… and the destruction that can happen when you ignore it and take the wrong path. This is not your typical sports romance, or maybe it’s more realistic than most would like to admit. It’s definitely not for the faint at heart, we’re talking HEAVY, with more triggers than I wanted to count but HOLY SHOT (pun intended) I was gripping my sheets at 3am hell bent on finishing it. FAN-FREAKIN-TASTIC book!
Excerpts
It's like I haven't had a meal since the last time I had her, and my mouth is watering imagining that clit, those lips, her juices. Her coming for me-coming in my mouth, dripping down my chin.
Hope is the gap between the what if and what is, but you have to fill that gap with a lot of hard work.
"Struggle does not make you weak", she whispers back. "Struggling against those who hold us is what makes us, over time, stronger than they are. Strong enough to fight back. Strong enough to win."
Publisher synopsis
A FORBIDDEN LOVE SET IN THE EXPLOSIVE WORLD OF THE NBA…
Think you know what it's like being a baller's girl?
You don't.
My fairy tale is upside down.
A happily never after.
I kissed the prince and he turned into a fraud.
I was a fool, and his love – fool's gold.
Now there's a new player in the game, August West.
One of the NBA's brightest stars.
Fine. Forbidden.
He wants me. I want him.
But my past, my fraudulent prince, just won't let me go
