Shot Taker

King of the Court, Book 2

By: Piper Lawson

Narrated by: Lance Greenfield, Carly Robins

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

I swore I’d never come back to Denver.

I’d never trust the wrong man again.

But here I am, back in the same place as the bad boy athlete who broke my heart.

Clay rules the basketball court, and now he’s gunning for redemption. But I'm not the same girl who fell for the man behind the all-star image and reputation.

He made me want him like I’ve never wanted anyone.

He made me feel like I was the only thing that mattered.

A single look can make me ache.

A whispered promise in his gruff voice makes my chest tight.

Clay’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.

Nailed it

Audio review Carly nailed it and does a great job. Lance at times did not do for me. The story itself, I enjoyed except I really do not care for her sister and Harlan at all. I think they are manipulative and judgmental. It is because of them that some of the problems the MCs are having exist. I rounded up

Things are heating up

Well, I thought Game Changer had my emotions running wild, but Shot Taker takes it up a notch. Clay and Nova are so good together that you can't help but root for them. There's a magnetic pull between them that seems to keep pulling them back into each other's orbit.
And then Piper Lawson wields her mighty pen and throws a twist at their HEA. So, I don't want to give too much away; just be prepared and keep in mind that there's a reason this is part of a trilogy. At this point, I'm thoroughly invested in Nova and Clay. I will say that based on my experience with Piper Lawson's work, this couple's journey may take a few wrong turns - they might even take the scenic route - but their final destination with be worth every drop of angst.
Lance Greenfield and Carly Robins continue their performances in this second book, and they do an excellent job. The story heats up in this one, and the narration is so good that I thought my cellphone was gonna start smoking. Let's just say that when Lance Greenfield purrs a particularly sexy line, it'll give ya a little tingle.
So, start with Game Changer and follow Clay and Nova on their journey. It's a curvy trip, but it's so very good.

Sports Romance

Shot Taker by Piper Lawson is a grumpy sunshine sports romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Lance Greenfield and Carly Robins. This is the second book in the King of the Court series.

I am really enjoying the relationship between Clay and Nova. Their relationship is messy, but I can't help but root for them. I liked that we got both of their points of views throughout the book.

The book ended on a great cliffhanger. I can’t wait to dive into the next book in the series Play Maker so I can get more of their story.

Lance and Carly did a great job on the narration. I look forward to listening to more of their work in the future.

I would recommend this series if you’re looking for a grumpy sunshine romance, sports romance, or contemporary romance.

Angsty, drama-filled story!

Shot Taker, an Audiobook by Piper Lawson is the story of Clay and Nova. They were an item years ago, but everything changed. Now, Nova has been commissioned to complete a mural for Clay’s professional basketball team. But, the angst, tension, and turmoil between these two is palpable. Can they even work around each other after all that’s happened.

We travel through the emotions of these two and how they handle every thing…Nova is strong, determined, and gutsy for even attempting to do this, since it can bring her career into he ozone. Clay is trying to build his team and deal with the hurdles that come with that…plus, now there’s Nova.
Thoroughly enjoyable and entertaining story!!! Ends in a pretty major cliffhanger!

This Audiobook was narrated by Lance Greenfield and Carly Robins who do a fine job portraying the characters and their angst. Though it felt a little stilted at times, overall they did an incredible job with this drama-filled story!

Loved!!!

This is part 2 of 3 in Piper Lawson's King of the Court series. These books NEED to be read in order.

This book covers what happens when Nova comes back to Denver after all that goes on in book one. It picks up pretty much right where book book one ends. This book had me just as transfixed and caught up in the story as the first book. I listened to it all in one sitting and wanted morewhen it was done.

Once again both narrators did an amazing job bringing this book to life.

I was given this audio book to review and I am leaving this volinarily.
