THIS MAN, y’all, is pure romance male character heaven.
Her male characters, especially in The Close-Up, live their truth while loving and living for the women they adore. Let me say that again for the people in the back: if you want to read a man who knows to his toes who he is and one of those things is both an alpha and submissive to love, then you MUST…honestly, I implore you…you HAVE to read The Close-Up or any other book Kennedy Ryan has ever written. She has this talent for writing masculine heroes who humble themselves in adoring their heroines. And that isn’t even the best part of this book. To read the marriage of these Kennedy Ryan worlds is divine. I mean, what’s not to love about a story set in her Hoops and Reel worlds? To revisit old friends who still hold portions of your heart and soul is decadent. I knew The Close-Up would have Kennedy Ryan’s magic sprinkled all over it, and I was absolutely correct in that. From her style to her character development to her story flow, she owns me as a reader. She is easily one of my top three writers in romancelandia. Kennedy Ryan has this immense capacity for storytelling.
I will never be over that book and its siblings. Firstly, if you have not yet read her Hoops series, seriously, what are you waiting for? To this day, and I believe it has been two years, Long Shot still sits in my soul. I’ve been sitting in reflection after reading Kennedy Ryan’s The Close-Up a few days ago. “It feels like it started when I was born, and everything in my life brought me to him and him to me - like all the times we were apart were held breaths, and here together, in each other’s arms, we can finally breathe.” Tropes: second chance romance, brother’s rival, forced proximity, soulmates/fated
