A Kiss for a Kiss by Helena Hunting

 

3/3.5 Star

Jake is loving his life. His daughter is getting married to good man, he loves is career, and he's ready to start having some fun. He's spending more time with Hannah his new son-in- law's biological mother. After a weekend of naked fun they agree to stay friends and that's it until she finds she's pregnant. They will have to figure out what is best for everyone involved.

This is a weird one for me. The writing was spot on and just like all of her other books but this wasn't one of my favorite books. Jake and Hannah both seemed very selfish. No problem with them hooking up but they weren't being safe about it because she was premenopausal. That and Hannah's mom made me so mad. I get she had to raise Hannah's first kid but get over yourself. Overall, it was an interesting friends to loves with a surprise baby as well as an older couple. If any of these are your jam you will enjoy this story.

A Favor for a Favor by Helena Hunting

4 Star

Stevie is having a very crappy day.  It's her birthday and she thought she would surprise her boyfriend by coming out earlier than planned.  Instead she's surprised by finding him with another woman.  Her brother hooks her up with a place to stay and her new neighbor is a jerk and she still has to work with her ex.  Bishop thinks is new neighbor is the mistress to his teammate and doesn't want to like her.  That is until he's injured on the ice and needs her help to rehab his injury to get him off the injured list faster.  

This was a very slow burn book.  It takes a while for Stevie and Bishop to officially get together and I enjoyed the ride getting there.  I didn't like Stevie's brother overly much.  He kind of pissed me off through most of the book.  He never bothered to find out if Bishop was serious just assumed he was interested just for revenge against him.  This caused issues and it made me mad.  Overall, I enjoyed the book and will be checking out the next one.

Loved both narrators.  They handled each character nicely and I will be checking out future books narrated by them.

A SECRET FOR A SECRET

Coming My 12, 2020

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.
