I really enjoyed this pro basketball story. Raelynn is a smart, hard working young woman, who’s hard her share of tough breaks. She is dirt poor and working as a diner waitress and maid. Ben is captain and star of the champion NBA team and is training in her tiny Texas town as part of the US Olympic team when they meet. Sometimes you meet the right person but timing and circumstances conspire against you. They come from such different worlds but each recognizes the loneliness and needs of the other. Both hearts break when They are forced apart and it’s a few years before they reconnect and get their second chance. I liked the writing and a lot of the plot. In some ways, the writing reminded me a little of Tijan, but with less angst. There’s no ow/om drama, no cheating, no mean girls trying to sabotage them. One plot point I found anticlimactic was having Raelynn deal with paparazzi and fans. There was this big build up about exposing her to the public, security concerns, privacy concerns, etc. Ben made a huge deal about it then…nothing. No incidences happened at all. She wasn’t recognized on campus, in her classes, while out and about. No leaked photos, no stalking paps. Just nothing. Why make such a big deal, then never mention it again?? Ben is a wonderful, caring man in love. Fantastic book bf! I loved that Raelynn was a smart STEM student in graduate school. Let’s have more smart FMCs! Toddler Caleb stole the show of course with his super cute antics. Lots of fun supportive characters in this book to back up the MCs and fill out the plot. Very enjoyable read. There’s tough times, sadness, grief, loneliness, but also passion, fun, teasing, hot bedroom and shower scenes, hard work, and love.

How do I look at this woman I still barely know and say, I like the way you make me feel. I like your presence in a room.

About the author
Absolute Best Duo
🏀 K I N G • O F • T H E • C O U R T 🏀 This book is exactly what I needed. As always, R.S. Grey pulled out out of a huge reading slump ~ First and foremost, this is hands down the best duo that Grey has written yet. Both characters just trying to find their way -- be it Raelynn trying to find her way back to her dream or Ben trying to crawl out of the perpetual depressed funk he was in -- was absolutely beautiful and as human as it gets. Part of me felt as if I could relate to Raelynn (not in the whole science genius way) but her upbringing, we are one in the same. A small town, very similar to the one described in the book, being raised by grandparents because my parents both feel victim to drugs. To me, this story felt very realistic in many ways. Ben is an absolute dreamboat. I love the way he was written more cinnamon roll than brute. And that automatic connection between both characters. That connection is what I live for now. I have sooo many thoughts but this story is full of little surprises that I feel like I will give away spoilers if I say too much. But this book felt very much like home to me. Even the basketball made me feel a little nostalgic for a place that doesn't necessarily exist anymore if that makes sense. Bottom line -- this book is a MUST read. And, if you're on Kindle Unlimited, you can read it free today!

King of the Court - R.S. Grey
Eu não sei se tenho palavras o suficiente para dizer o quanto eu amei esse livro. Quando li a sinopse eu já esperava um bom romance, mas não imaginava o que estava me esperando ao ter esse livro em mãos. R.S. Grey foi muito além de um clichê de garota de cidade pequena e astro do basquete super famoso, ela construiu camadas nesses personagens, em suas histórias, que me deixou completamente presa nesse livro.Leili S.King of the Court - R.S.

A Raelynn é a minha personagem favorita, ela se abdicou de tudo para cuidar da avó, que é única pessoa que a amou durante toda a sua vida, e a força dela é admirável. Ben também é um personagem incrível, ele não teve pais presentes e carrega sua própria tristeza no olhar, apesar de toda fama e dinheiro. Eu poderia fazer um texto enorme falando de cada ponto que amei nessa leitura, mas tudo o que posso dizer agora é, que você se puder, leia King of the Court
