About this ebook

A hot new standalone in the series that's been called "A total, utter must read." - Book Fanatic

She says she doesn’t date players.

She swears up and down that she’ll never handle my stick.

We’ll see about that, sweetheart.

When I win the pleasure of Harper’s company at a charity auction, I get exactly one date—one shot to win over the gorgeous and feisty brunette.

Game on. I play hard, and I love a challenge.

But just when I think I’ve finally carved out my shot . . . a huge secret implodes around us, threatening everything we’ve built.

What to expect: A hunky, determined hockey player. A hard-to-win-over heroine. Exposed secrets, steamy good times, and a male-only romance book club. Yes!

Note: This is the final book in the Hot Jocks series, but each book is about a new couple and can be read as a complete standalone.

Ratings and reviews

Jordie and Harper's story was the cake topper in this series. I loved the Hot Jocks previous books and fell so hard for each character. But with out beloved rookie, he needed some hard love to push him to his limits and true potential. Harper was a fireball. I loved her and knew that she was destined for Jordie. You do not get hearts and flowers right away. These characters are stubborn and need to take a minute to realize what they both want. I was ok with that as I loved every moment it took to get there. Taking His Shot was simply the best! I am sad to say goodbye to this series, but loved how it all unfolds with the end.

Taking His Shot is the final book in the Hot Jocks series and what a way to end it! Jordie….sigh….what can I say about that man. He was swoony and masculine and just a complete dreamboat! And Harper…gosh, she was the epitome of an intelligent and independent woman. I knew right from the beginning these two would have amazing chemistry, and I wasn’t wrong. As strong as these characters were, each in their own way, it was amazing to see their attraction blossom into an affectionate and passionate connection. And their vulnerabilities illustrated another dynamic to their already enticing relationship. Sweet, witty, and full of laughs, Taking His Shot was a fun and entertaining quick read. The writing was superb, as always, and flowed beautifully with the progression of the characters’ relationship. And as with every relationship, these two aren’t perfect and carry their own form of heartache. But it was the heartfelt emotions and tender moments that really shined in the heartwarming romance. Although each book is a standalone and can be enjoyed individually, I highly recommend starting with Playing for Keeps. You will not be disappointed. Laugh, cry, and fall in love with all the men (and the women) in this fantastic series!

So, TAKING HIS SHOT. The final story in the Hot Jocks series by author Kendall Ryan. I have to say, I was a little bit surprised by this book. Oh, I knew that I would like it, because Kendall's hockey players have wormed their way into my romance-loving heart, but I wasn't too sure about Jordie. Even though we'd met and liked him in earlier books, at first glance, here he comes across as another one of those guys. You know, immature, typical jock, player, skirt-chaser...but what a heart-melter he turned out to be. And Harper. Harper is not going down without a fight. As the daughter of the team coach, she has had a long-standing rule about not dating players. And she was hanging tough, but the more she discovers about Jordie, the more they open up to each other, the harder it is for her to stay true to her decision. TAKING HIS SHOT is emotional, passionate, and heartfelt, and shows just how far Jordie is willing to go to get his love. Harper doesn't stand a chance, and neither did I. What a great finish to a well-loved series. I will miss these boys, and can't wait to see what Kendall has in store for us next. ❤️
