Helena Hunting is so hilarious! These neighbors will keep you up from laughing so much. As a new physical therapist, Stevie just wants to make her way in the world and doesn’t want to ride her brother’s coat tails. Her new neighbor seems to have a different idea of her and that leads to one of the most hilarious meet cutes. Their banter continues through the use of dueling door slams, newspaper pick ups and rescue calls.

A Favor for a Favor by Helena Hunting is such a great read. Loved everything about it.

The storyline was entertaining, the characters were likable, engaging and my interest was held from the first page until the end.

Another wonderful read by the talented Helena Hunting and a great addition to the All In series.

Hockey hotties Bishop gets a noisy interruption to his evening from a woman trying to get into his captains apartment. Stevie is not having a great day but her brother the captain of the Seattle expansion team, is there to help her out by letting her stay in his apartment. To make things worse she can not get the door open and her new neighbor is not happy with her. Sparks fly and insults are exchanged and view of the hockey good in his undies are frequent. This romcom is Helena Hunting at her best, I love it more because her characters are all I tertwined with her original hockey players and of course we get more of Violet.
Her characters are funny, sexy and passionate. Everything you would expect from a side splitting romcom. Bishop and Stevie are the new couple in her Hockey world that have found a spot in her heart.

If you like grumpy men then you are going to love this book.  Bishop is so grumpy, awkward, and sweet,  The more I learned about him the more I adored him.  If you've read any of the Pucked series then you will love this book.  It's a quick fun read.

Obviously I'm obsessed with Helena Hunting ... nobody can write a hockey romance like this woman can. She's the queen! This is the second book in her All In series, a spin off from the delightful Pucked series (which if you haven't read, you definitely should). We get snippets of characters we loved from the Pucked series, but the main characters are new ones that we get introduced to. This book features Stevie & Bishop. Both are fiery, both are a little bit stubborn, and both enjoy "accidentally" seeing each other in various states of undress. Stevie and Bishop are technically neighbors, but as Stevie helps him work through an injury he gets playing hockey, they start to realize there is more there. I loved their progression (both as individual characters & together), and I loved that Bishop was such a grouchy man character (except for when he starts to soften up to Stevie). Once again, Helena Hunting hit it out of the park, and I am SO excited for the next book in this series!

4.5 Stars! 
A Favor for a Favor is the second installment in the (All in) series. Though, this one could totally be read as a stand-alone. 

The book starts off with our heroine, Stevie, not having the best of days. And to top it all off she’s told  off by her new neighbor, Bishop. Her incredibly HOT - but incredibly rude - neighbor. 

The two had the most hilarious back and forth, enjoyed getting on each other’s nerves and undeniable chemistry. 

Bishop is a professional hockey player who happens to be her brother’s team. Durning a game, he gets injured pretty badly and needs extensive physical therapy. 
As Stevie is started out her career as a physical therapist, she wants to help him out while helping herself gain more experience and further her career. 
So they strike up a deal. A favor for a favor, if you will. 

With the increasing amount of time they start spending in each other space, personal space, it quickly becomes harder to ignore their attraction and growing feelings for each other. 
This was my favorite part of the book. I enjoyed watching it all unfold in the most wonderful way. 

This story while admittedly predictable, was also unputdownable. It was sexy, hilarious and heartwarming. And Helena Hunting has this unique style that just pulls you in. I’d recommend it.

Absolutely LOVED this book. Hunting has magic with her words and this one did not disappoint. The story build then the character development. It was great banter and passion plus oh so much more!

This book was such a fantastic and entertaining read, I couldn't put it down. I was fascinated by it's characters, their banter and all things in between. I need some time to gather my thoughts to write a review this book deserves.

What is not to love about an enemies to lovers romance? It is one of my favorites and Helena does a smashing job with this novel. The the hilarious banter that she is famous for with the perfect amount of romance that keeps me glued to my seat. I only wish there were sexier moments, ones that I know she CAN write. Otherwise this is a solid read.

*3.5 Stars!*

This will be yet another short and to the point review since it's been a bit since I finished this book. After finishing and totally adoring A Lie for a Lie, I was super excited to pick up A Favor for a Favor. Unfortunately, this sequel hit a little differently for me and didn't quite live up to my expectations.

For the most part, I did enjoy this story. My favorite part of this whole book was Stevie Bowman. I seriously love this chick to death! She reminds me so much of myself and we share the same sassy attitude. I also liked the romance. Took me a minute to get on board of this ship, but I liked the slow-burn and there was even this one particular scene on the dance floor that totally had me swooning so I'd say that's a win for me!

But there were quite a few things that annoyed me about this book and left me frustrated—the main thing being all the damn men! First of all, Stevie's ex had to go. Like homeboy should've got his fifteen seconds of fame and then been cut from the script because his constant pop-ups were irritating my soul. I honestly don't know how Stevie had the patience to put up with that shit because I deadass would've hit him at least once. Then we have Stevie's brother, RJ. If you read my review for A Lie for a Lie, then you know much I loved RJ but his overbearing brotherly ways were just too excessive in this book. I think it's great that he wanted to help Stevie out but at the same time, he was not actively listening to what Stevie wanted. RJ should've given Stevie the space to make her own choices, like she grown, let her live. And finally, we have our hero, Bishop Winslow. I did not like Bishop at all for most of this book. I just found his personality to be a little abrasive and it took me quite a while to warm up to him. I do think he was a good match for Stevie but I just wish he was nicer at the beginning.

Anyways, all I care about now is Kingston's book. My baby better have a good HEA because it's what he deserves and I will riot if it's anything less!

A Favor for a Favor is such fun – especially with the cameo appearance by Violet in all her tactless glory ❤

Bishop and Stevie begin their interactions as purely antagonistic, from Bishop’s severe case of foot in mouth disease and Stevie’s perpensity to jump to conclusions leads to a battle of wills as well as a challenge in the underwear department. Bishop has some seriously hysterical boxers!!!

As they get to know each other, Bishop and Stevie find their initial assumptions are completely wrong and they begin to lay a genuine foundation of respect and friendship. Unfortunately, Bishop and Stevie’s brother, Rook, are teammates with a lot of hostility between them. This does not make for an easy road into relationship territory.

Despite their differences I loved digging beneath the surface of Stevie and Bishop’s characters and getting to know just how well they go together. At the heart of everythign their core values are the same. I lvoed how they supported each other with their families and each other.

There are serious amounts of chemistry and banter within the pages of A Favor for a Favor. It is Helena Hunting at her finest. 😍

***4 Stars***


I ADORED A Lie for a Lie and couldn’t wait to dive into this baby, especially when I was all kinds of excited to get to know Stevie better, and I enjoyed getting to know both Stevie and Bishop. Their story was crazy, entertaining and frustrating ~ in more ways than one ~ and kept me turning the pages until the very end.

I really liked Stevie and Bishop, but man did they both try me at times. Stevie is hard working, sassy, sweet and just an all around good person, but man does she have some things she really needs to work out. I understood why she chose to avoid certain situations, but at the same time I couldn’t help but be annoyed because she chose to miss out on moments she could never get back. Bishop is all kinds of growly, broody, grumpy hotness with a good heart ~ and you all know how much I love my men broody. But, he’s so stuck on what he believes was ‘taken’ from him that he kinda came off as a whiny biaytch for most of the book, until he wasn’t.

Bishop aka Shippy and Stevie’s journey to their HEA was all kinds of antagonistic, but enjoyable. They definitely didn’t have a ‘meet-cute’ moment, but I liked how they got under each others skins and realized that they had a connection that neither expected. The bantering tipped more on the barb side of the coin, but it was fun and the chemistry between them was undeniable. The bump in the road wasn’t a surprise, nor was the fall out from it, but I have to say that neither of them handled it well, but thankfully they had people in their corners who helped them get back on track.

As much as I enjoyed this book, I have to admit that the outside drama overshadowed Stevie and Bishop’s journey. Yes, the Ex factor and RJ were relevant subplots to their journey, but I found the Ex issue annoying and that at times I was more invested in seeing Bishop and RJ have a “Come to Jesus” than I was in the romance going on. And while both were resolved, I actually wish there had been more to Bishop and RJ’s moment, they work things out, but one issue wasn’t to my satisfaction ~ but that’s an “it’s not you, it’s me” sitch.

Overall, though, this was a fun read. I loved catching up with RJ, Lainey and Kody. Violet was all kinds of crazy fun ~ she makes a great team mom. But I’m definitely looking forward to Kingston and seeing him get a little crazy.

Helena has done it again! I love her books. They are full of heat and humour which is what I love most in a romance book.
Stevie and Bishop were AWESOME! Their banter, their enemy-turned-friend-turned-lover relationship was everything!
Boxer shorts. Just boxer shorts. ♥

First Impressions...
Wow! I thought A FAVOR FOR A FAVOR was amazing! I absolutely loved Bishop and Stevie! I loved the way that their relationship developed, all of the crazy intense chemistry, and every single moment between them! They were wonderful! I also loved seeing more of RJ and Lainey and some of our favourite Pucked characters. ;) I've been a bigtime Helena Hunting fan for a while now, but this is quickly becoming my favourite series of hers so far!!!



This Book In 5 Words:
Sexy. Funny. Hilarious. Adorable. Exceptional.

As I mentioned, I loved A FAVOR FOR A FAVOR! I thought that Bishop and Stevie were wonderful! Bishop was surly, broody, and so awkward at times, but it was in the most endearing of way. He was also so freaking sweet...and genuinely tried so hard and I really just loved seeing him do his best to support Stevie...it was so sweet! Stevie, on the other hand, was a lot less awkward and definitely not broody. She was sassy, strong, and determined to make her own way. I loved that she was contradictory in many ways, but always managed to stay true to herself. :)

Stevie and Bishop were fantastic apart, but they were even better together and their romance was amazing! It was definitely a slow-burn...but boy was it worth it. I loved how their connection grew even before their romantic relationship ever started. I also loved the animosity between Stevie and Bishop at the start...I wouldn't call it hate, but there was definitely some fiery reactions going (their morning battles were hilarious...and I totally loved all of Bishop's "wardrobe choices" :P). It was clear right from the start that they had some intense chemistry! Once feelings started and things were underway...well bam! Their chemistry was phenomenal and I really loved how compatible they were...I'm honestly super excited just to get to see more of them in the next book now that they're together!!! :D

I highly recommend this one to anyone who loves slow-burn romances, especially if you love sport romances, broody, well-meaning heroes, and sassy, strong heroines!

Star Rating:
★★★★★

Overall, I loved A FAVOR FOR A FAVOR! I thought that the characters were wonderful, the romance was a fantastically sexy and well-developed slow-burn, and the story and side-characters were wonderful--I couldn't put it down! I absolutely ADORED the first book in Helena Hunting's All In series, A LIE FOR A LIE, and I loved this one, so I am ridiculously excited for the third book now, A SECRET FOR A SECRET! RJ and Bishop are amazing...and I just can't wait to see how amazing King is, too! ;D

Humorous and sensual, this story had me gripped and entertained from the start. I've yet to read a storm from this author I didn't enjoy. I think a lot of others will agree this is a good book.

I happy sighed, when I wasn’t laughing, while reading A Favor For A Favor, a Slow Burn/Hockey Romance. This is the second book in the All In series, and I can’t wait for the next! This RomCom started off as a comedy of errors, both main characters get off on the wrong foot when they meet, due to a misunderstanding that takes a while to clear up. I loved Bishop and Stevie, the main characters, and the witty barbs they slung at each other had me laughing out loud. As the title suggests, these two decide to work together, despite their initial dislike, by doing each other a favor in exchange for a favor, and they slowly begin to appreciate and like the other. Bishop and Stevie had incredible chemistry and I loved how it took time to build up and finally boil over, it was scorching hot!

“I want to be the olive to your pineapple.”

Stevie Bowman arrived home two days earlier than expected, on her birthday, to surprise her live-in boyfriend. Unfortunately, Stevie was the one who was surprised; she walked in on him with someone else and finds herself homeless. Luckily her brother, RJ, had recently married and moved out of his Penthouse apartment and he offers her to stay there as long as she likes. Tired from her trip, and the late hour, she makes a loud and terrible racket while dragging her luggage and trying to unlock the door, something her new neighbor is not happy about.

Bishop Winslow was thrilled when his neighbor moved out; he can’t stand RJ Bowman, his team captain and notorious playboy who partied loudly, and had a rotating door of women coming and going, until he recently married. They both play for a new NHL expansion team in Seattle and Bishop felt the position of team captain should have been his, he’s sure RJ got it due to his friendship with their coach. When he sees a hot mess trying to get into RJ’s apartment he assumes the worst. She must be RJ’s mistress; he’s already cheating on his wife! When Bishop insults and yells at Stevie, she decides to go to war with him.

“For so many reasons we probably shouldn’t fit together, but we do.”

Stevie and Bishop clash every chance they get, and make a game to see who can antagonize the other more. Until Bishop is injured in a game and forced to take some time off to get well. Good thing that Stevie has a master’s degree in physiotherapy. This could be the opportunity she needs to make a name for herself, and find a position on a sports team, on her own merit. They work out a plan to help each other since they both need a favor, hence…a favor for a favor.

“Everyone has a demon or two, Stevie. You just gotta learn how to live with them and find other people who think all your god parts outweigh the bad.”

 Not everything is lighthearted and a laugh a minute, there’s a serious health issue that causes concern and adds awareness to a disease that affects a secondary character, and has coincidentally affected both MC lives in different ways. I love how this issue was dealt with and added so much to the story.

If I need to describe this book with one word, it will be AMAZING! I loved it and enjoyed every second of it. And if you asked me my favorite Helena Hunting hockey book, it is either the best or the second best since it is really hard to decide between Lance and Bishop :D  A Favor for a Favor is the second book of the "All In" series. It can be read as a standalone but I totally recommend you to read the first book of the series A Lie for a Lie beforehand.

Bishop plays hockey for Seattle’s expansion team. He is excited to have a fresh start, new city, better conditions and becoming a team captain. However, some of these doesn't go the way he expects. The picture Bishop paints for others is a-holish, careless, selfish, not dependable playboy, however he is anything but. He is brooding, doesn't really let anyone in easily but at heart he is caring, sweet, loyal and selfless. I love how he is taking care of his brother and carrying too much responsibility without complaint. I think since this part is something I can relate, it made me love him so much more. Ohhh one more thing, his boxer collection is to die for LOL! 

So here is how Bishop and Stevie’s story starts… He is annoyed to be woken up in the middle of the night by hot mess of a woman who is trying to get into his captain Rook Bowman’s penthouse. Of course the first thing that comes to his mind is Rook letting his mistress move up to the team issued apartment while he is playing house with his wife and kid in his newly purchased house. Oh my poor Bishop, stereotyping and being judgmental is not a good thing, you should gather all the facts before acting. As a newly grad school graduate, Stevie moves to Seattle to work as a physiotherapist specializing in sports therapy. Her plans of surprising her boyfriend by arriving couple days earlier so that she can spend her birthday with him goes to hell when she find him in bed with another woman in their new apartment where they purchased everything together. She is adamant about making a name for herself without any help from her brother Rook but thanks to her jerk face ex-boyfriend Joey Smuck, her life turns upside down and she had to ask her brother for help. After spending most of her savings for the apartment she rented with her boyfriend, now she doesn’t have enough for herself so when Rook offers her the penthouse team rented for him, she accepts. She didn’t expect the rude greeting from the hot neighbor. However, later on when she founds her neighbor injured and passed out by his door, she realizes he plays hockey with her brother and all his rudeness is because he thinks she is her brother’s mistress. Then she comes up with her proposal, a favor for a favor. Stevie offers Bishop help with his rehab so that he can get back on ice sooner and in return he will give her a recommendation. Stevie is feisty, smart, pastel hair colored goddess and Bishop is having hell of a time to stay uneffected.  The banter and sexual tension between these two was crazy and entertaining. It was amazing to see how Bishop’s relationship with Stevie brings out more fun and lighthearted version of him out. I loved and enjoyed how their relationship evolved and they pushed each other to be better. I would love to say after their rocky start everything was smooth but that would be a lie. Also, Bishop’s rocky and not-so-good relationship didn’t help at all. It was nice to see bits and pieces of Lainey, Rook and little Kody’s lives but to tell you the truth I wasn’t fan of Rook most of the book. It was also good to see a bit of Violet and Alex. Of course as always Violet was hilarious :) Stevie’s friends/colleagues Jules and Pattie, Bishop’s brother Nolan and his best friend/teammate Ryan Kingston are interesting characters that I would love to read more about. Since next and last book of the series will be Ryan’s we will be getting his story soon. I hope we will get a chance to read more about the rest as well. 

I loved this book and Stevie and Bishop is one my favorite characters that Helena Hunting has created till now. A favor for a favor is an amazingly perfect story, you won’t be able to put it down until you are done with it. If you are looking for a funny, sexy, sweet romantic comedy, this book is just for you. 

Would I recommend this book: Yes
Would I re-read this book: Yeap, done that already :) 
Would I read future books by this author: Yes

Loved this book! Rook and Stevie were amazing-they get off on the wrong foot, Rook thinking Stevie is her brother’s mistress, and a hilarious battle of wills ensues. Even so, their attraction was sizzling and only deepened as their connection grew. I enjoyed how they moved from enemies to friends to lovers.  

A sexy and heartwarming read with witty and charismatic dialogue, this was another hit from Helena Hunting.

5 Stars 

A Favor for a Favor by Helena Hunting is the second book in the All In series and it can be read as a stand-alone. All I can say is WOW! This story was AMAZING! Stevie and Bishop’s journey was full of tension that was so thick, chemistry that you will feel for days, and a love that was so pure and true. 

These two characters were fantastic. I seriously fell in love with both of them from the get-go. Stevie was a well-developed heroine. Hard yet soft, independent, and a mouth on her like no other. And Bishop...he was the perfect hero. Underneath his gruff exterior was a man that just wanted to make sure his family was taken care of. Neither one expected the other…

I loved this book so much! Ms. Hunting nailed it with A Favor for a Favor. Highly recommend reading it!
