A Favor for a Favor: All In, Book 2

A Favor for A Favor is one of my all time favorite hockey romances. Helena Hunting takes her trademark humor and steam, and creates a grumpy sunshine, teammate’s sibling romance that’s impossible to put down.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Physical therapist Stevie just moved to Seattle, and immediately discovers her boyfriend is cheating on her. Her hockey player brother Rook tells her to stay at his team-sponsored apartment. But when she arrived, his teammate Bishop thinks she’s having an affair with married Rook, who he despises. He’s not bashful about voicing his opinion, and then feels terrible when he discovers who Stevie is. Once Bishop injures his groin, though, he turns to Stevie to help him rehabilitate. Stevie gets the experience of working with an NHL player without her brother involved, and Bishop heals faster. It’s a win-win, with no feeling involved whatsoever, right?I’ve been recommending A Favor for a Favor ever since I first read Stevie and Bishop’s story. It’s only recently that I realized I’d never officially reviewed it. Stevie is a smart, independent woman who just wants to succeed on her own merits, not because of her famous brother or who she’s dating. Bishop has no use for people in general, but slowly shows Stevie his caring side, along with his drive to succeed as a professional hockey player. She’s the only one who sees the important role his brother plays in his life, and to what lengths he’ll go to take care of the people he loves.Not only is the chemistry sizzling, but the humor has me laughing out loud through each and every reread. If you are a fan of sizzling hockey romances, Helena Hunting is a must read author. A Favor for a Favor is one of my favorites, with lovable, hilarious characters that I always want to spend more time with.

This one was a KU read with the audio attached. I started one way but quickly fell into the other. And things just went smooth sailing from there.Rook and Lainey had tied the knot and moved to a new state. Now it's time for some time together and away for a while. So why not allow your sister to stay at your place. Stevie was not your typical female. She was young, strong and determined to make it on her own without using her famous brother for anything. That was until she walked in on her leave-in boyfriend banging another girl on the couch that her brother bought for them on her birthday. This makes life take on a whole new meaning. Then to top it all off she had a late night run-in with her neighbor Bishop.Bishop knows he has no right to be all up in his teammates ' business. He does not even like his new team captain. So why does he care that he had a side chick on the side. He doesn't. Or does he. This was fun from beginning to end. I found it to be filled with rich characters, chemistry, sass and charm.Overall      4 out of 5 starsPerformance      4 out of 5 starsStory      4 out of 5 starsErin Mallon and Jacob Morgan bring the characters right off the pages and in vivid imagery. I loved having this narration done with two different and both equally strong narrators.

A Favor for a Favor is the second book in a spin-off series from Helena Hunting’s Pucked series. It is a slow burn enemies to lovers, sports romance told in dual pov. I loved the first book in the series but this is in a class of its own!! What will she have in store for us in the third book Kingston’s book!!One of the things about Helena’s books you can always count on a funny, quirky, laugh out loud “meet cute” and she did not disappoint on this one.Helena opens the story up with Stevie (RJ's younger sister from A Lie for a Lie) arriving at RJ’s empty apartment to stay. This is due to the fact that she was going to surprise her boyfriend at their new apartment, but she is the one that is surprised finding him plowing someone else on their brand-new couch!! Arriving at her brother apartment really late after having one terrible day, she looks a mess, she broke her suitcase, and she can’t get the key in the door. The door across the hall opens and this good looking but rude man starts yelling about all the noise she is making. What a way for her day to end her birthday no less!!Misunderstanding on both of their parts, him thinking she is sneaking into his married team captain's apartment, so he is rude and disrespectable to her. Her thinking he is a womanizer who seems to have a constant stream of women in and out of his door and extremely grumpy.Stevie does not know he is a member of the new Seattle’s hockey expansion team, the same one her brother is the caption on. Bishop does not know Stevie is the little sister of his new captain…the one that he does not see eye to eye with!!These two start a love hate relationship that is so hot is could just combust. With all the tempers and snarky attitudes, full of banter and humor and one-liners with sizzling chemistry. There is this cat and mouse game in the hall in the mornings as they pick up their newspapers with him in his boxers with sayings on them and her wearing sports bras and yoga pants. They antagonize each other but all it is doing is arousing them both!! Their reactions are so hilariously funny!During one of Bishop’s game he suffers a groin injury and is worried about being off the ice for too long. Even thou this was not funny some of the scenes you could not help to laugh out loud, him struggling to get into his apartment. Stevie finds him passed out in the hall and allowed him to stay on her couch overnight. She discovers he is a hockey player and eventually they make the connection!!Stevie offers to help, she's a is physiotherapist specializing in sports therapy and would love to get some experience rehabbing an NHL player without her brothers help. She could get him back on the ice faster so he finally gives in. This is where the fun begins and boy was it fun!! Their friendship/relationship was a slow and steady build, they seemed to bring out the best of each other. But they were not without obstacles on their road to love!!I enjoyed this story from start to finish and can’t wait for the next book coming.I loved spending time with the Pucked family, and oh boy I’ll just say omg Violet!!

When a rehab therapist just out of a bad relationship meets a grumpy hockey player who's enemies with her hockey player brother, sparks fly. She thinks he's the biggest man who*re around based on the constant parade of hot women in and out of his apt and the fact that he always wears loud and usually crude underwear to answer his door. He thinks she's an amoral puck bunny and a home wrecker because she's staying in his team captain's apt not realizing she's his sister. Despite all this they strike a deal: she'll do extra rehab to get him back on the ice after a severe groin injury and he'll write a great reference for her to support her new career as an RT. Despite her brother's fervent objections to the relationship and her truly obnoxious ex who just won't take no for an answer the two of them fall in love, of course. The best part of this book and what elevates it above others of its kind is the great bantering relationship. They're a one of a kind couple and just meant to be. Read this book. You'll love them as much as I did.

Fiquei muito animada para fazer a leitura desse livro quando vi que era com a irmã do personagem do outro livro! A Stevie e o Bishop me conquistaram. Acho que gostei desse ainda mais que do primeiro livro! Dei altas gargalhadas com o casal principal, achei eles hilários em alguns momentos! Amei a experiência de leitura!!

As much as I loved Stevie, I loved Bishop more. He was actually such a sweet guy, he just didn't care if anyone outside of those he cares about knew. Him and Stevie's relationship growth was fun and natural, it was slow but but definitely with it!Another easy read in this series that's as super enjoyable.

Ce deuxième volume de la serie m'a fait rire.Belle histoire entre Stevie et Bischop.I like them.Fun story to read.

I loved the dynamics of this couple, without a doubt a fun read full of sexual tension that will make you have a good time.
