MY REVIEW:

Ever since reading Book 1 in this series, I’ve been waiting for this one! It was wonderful to jump back into Clay and Nova’s world and watch their relationship continue to develop after the cliff hanger of the first book that left me feeling so lost.

I love Piper’s ability to keep a story intense, while also keeping things light and humorous. Her books always make me feel a little lighter and happier after reading them. Even when they end on cliff hangers. Thankfully, the hanger in this part leading us into the finale, isn’t as despairing as where we were left at the end of the first part.

So excited to see where Clay and Nova finish up in the finale and find their happily ever after. Piper has laid out a relationship between these characters that can definitely overcome obstacles, even if there is a big distance between them!


I hope you’re enjoying your summer reading as much as I am! This is Book 3 of 20 in my #20BooksofSummer23 reading challenge!

He leads the league in scoring. My heart won’t give him another shot.

I vowed I’d never return to Denver. But a life-changing opportunity puts me back in the same place as the grumpy athlete who broke my heart.

Clayton Wade rules the basketball stadium, and now he’s gunning for redemption. But I’m not the same girl who fell for the man behind the all-star image.

He made me want him like I’ve never wanted anyone. More than that, he made me believe in forever.

Until he ripped it all away.

I won’t risk my heart again. Not even when a single dirty look can make me ache, and a kind word in his gruff voice makes my chest tight.

Except Clay isn’t ready to let me go. He’s determined to win me back, and his persistence is starting to wear down my defenses.

If I can’t trust him, I’m setting myself up for another heartbreak.

But he’ll do anything to prove we’re worth another shot.

Shot Taker is a full-length grumpy sunshine sports romance and book 2 in the King of the Court series. Clay and Nova’s story begins in Game Changer and concludes in Play Maker.
