A Secret for a Secret (All In, #3)

by Helena Hunting

From New York Times bestselling author Helena Hunting comes a new romance about trading secrets, breaking the rules, and playing for keeps.

My name is Ryan Kingston, and I’m a rule follower. I’ve never been in a fistfight. I always obey the speed limit. I don’t get drunk, and I definitely don’t pick up random women at bars.

Except the night I found out that my whole existence has been a lie.

I got drunk. And picked up a stranger.

Her name was Queenie, and she was everything I’m not: reckless, impulsive, and chaotic. We did shots and traded secrets. And ended up naked at my place.

She left me a thank-you note in the morning and her panties as a parting gift. But no way to contact her.

Six weeks later I’m sitting in the first official team meeting of the season, and there she is. I neglected to mention that I’m the goalie for Seattle’s NHL team.

And Queenie? Turns out she’s the general manager’s daughter.

"There's no place I'd rather be than the eye of your storm."

Kingston is the biggest rule follower around so when his world is tipped upside down he goes a little crazy and has a one-night stand. Six weeks later, at the first official team meeting of the season, his one-night stand is there in the form of the General Managers' daughter and he failed to mention he was the teams' goalie. After seeking her father's permission to date, things are great between them until the past shows up at brings a storm they hope to weather.

OMG! This is my favourite book of the series and had me smiling from the beginning to the end. King and Queenie are such opposites but work together so well. I fell in love with Kingston and all his sweet and swoony politeness. Queenie is a bit of a whirlwind but so much fun. Kingston's family is quite a hot mess. There were a few interesting twists in this book that I did not see coming at all. I binge listened to this series when I noticed the announcement of A Kiss for a Kiss and I am so excited for more from this crew and series.

Another great job by Jason Clarke and Stella Bloom at bringing the story and characters to life and making for an enjoyable listen.

A Secret for a Secret is an opposites attract love story with a crazy cast of characters and lots of steam! Hunting brings us back to Seattle for Ryan's story.

Ryan is an alter boy-always does the right thing, doesn't like alcohol, and definitely doesn't do one night stands. Queenie is a party girl-she is as free spirited as they come, and has no problems with casual sex. The fact that these two have chemistry is undeniable. However, Queenie leaves after their tryst with nothing more than a post it note.

I liked these two as a couple! The both help each other be brave in different ways. They really are the ying to the other's yang. Overall, the story is low angst, which I really appreciate! You also get cameos from the previous couples in the series, and I love that too.  Finally, the story has a touch of forbidden romance because Queenie's father, the general manager, is NOT okay with players dating his daughter. Since Ryan is such a good guy, this is a challenge for him, but he is willing to do what it takes to be with Queenie.

A Secret for a Secret will delight fans of Huntings books because you get the same witty banter, steamy sex, and laughs throughout!
