A Favor for a Favor (All In, #2)

by Helena Hunting

An Amazon Charts bestseller.

From the New York Times bestselling author of Pucked and A Lie for a Lie, a new stand-alone romance about trading favors, battling wills, and winning love.

When I joined Seattle’s NHL expansion team, I thought it was the start of something great. But nothing ever goes the way you expect. Take my introduction to my new neighbor. She came rolling in on the hot mess express at midnight, making a racket while she tried to get into my team captain’s apartment. Did I mention that he’s married to a woman who definitely was not her?

Imagine my surprise when I end up with an injury that has me out of the game for weeks, and she’s the one to offer to help me. I should probably add that she’s not the captain’s mistress. She’s his sexy, pastel-haired younger sister.

So we come up with an arrangement: she rehabs me so that I can get back on the ice sooner, and she can add a professional athlete that isn’t her brother to her client list. Seems simple enough. As long as I can keep my hands to myself and my hormones in check.

I suck in a deep breath, inhaling her sweet smell. It's making me hungry for cake, or a muffin.

Stevie moves into her brother's apartment late at night and is a complete mess since she found her boyfriend cheating on her. While attempting to get into the apartment her new neighbor comes out and gives off an incredibly bad first impression. After driving each other crazy and Bishop gets injured, Stevie offers to help him with his rehab. Now they just need to keep it professional.

OMG! Bishop and Stevie's banter was unbelievably hilarious and they had me laughing out loud so many times. I truly enjoyed the growth of their relationship from fighting to flirting. There are some great side characters that I hope will get their own books in the future. I enjoyed that this book never really had the "big fight" and was more of a misunderstanding that needed to get past and grow from. This series is sure to put a smile on your face and I highly recommend.

Jacob Morgan and Erin Mallon definitely made this audiobook hilarious and extremely enjoyable to listen to.

It kind of pains me to say this, but A Favor for a Favor didn't quite hit home like I hoped it would. I've been a huge fan of Helena's Pucked series and I keep looking for any essence of that with her newer releases. We definitely see glimpses of it here and there, but overall, not quite there.

I definitely enjoyed this one a lot better than book 1 in the series, there was more humor that had me laughing especially with the banter between Stevie and Bishop. I really enjoyed watching their bit of enemy relationship turn into somewhat of a friendship. I found their relationship rather adorable as they try to maneuver around their feelings for one another.

I have to say that Bishop stole the show for me, but can I just hope he never uses the word 'bae' ever again. Please don't do it, Bishop!

With Stevie being the sister of the hero in book 1, he kind of overshadowed things a bit in this one. I wasn't a huge fan of him in book 1 and it was still showing in this one, unfortunately. However, these two resolve their issues with one another and it was finally great to put an end to that story.

Overall, I really wanted to love this more and it took me a lot longer than I hope to get through. Totally bums me out to say this since I'm a huge fan of Helena. Hopefully the next book will be a winner for me!

Important things about A Favor for a Favor:

  1. Enemies to lovers! Seriously, this trope is everything.
  2. Hilarious banter between the heroine and hero. These two are insane.
  3. Athlete/trainer relationship gives you a touch of the "off limits" vibe. Oh, and also team captain's little sister to add to the "no touch" vibe.
  4. Bishop isn't a whoring athlete. I wish authors wrote more non slutty athletes.

So that is my quick review! I am really loving this series and A Favor for a Favor was a great addition. I can't wait to see where Hunting takes this series!
