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.
A bunch of feel-good moments are packed into this book, making A Favor for a Favor a joy to read. I knew Helena Hunting had a potential hit series on her hands after reading A Lie for a Lie. It’s now official because I enjoyed this book even more.
In Bishop, you have a surly jerk that I couldn’t help but love. His care for his brother is heartwarming and his corny boxer briefs showcase his humorous side. It’s refreshing that he isn’t a stereotypical hockey hunk who chases puck bunnies. He’s all about proving himself on the ice and securing a long-term contract with his team.
Bishop’s team captain—and major rival—is RJ (from A Lie for a Lie). As luck would have it, Stevie is Bishop’s pastel-haired, feisty new neighbor, as well as RJ’s little sister. She wants to step out of her famous brother’s shadow and establish her own career as a sports physical therapist. Stevie and Bishop get off to a rocky start due to a series of mistaken assumptions, but their friendship and mutual attraction grow as she helps him recover from an injury.
RJ can be a bit of a tool when he’s in protective big brother mode but despite his disapproval, the story is low on angst and full of fun.
About the audiobook:
The audiobook features two of my favorite narrators, Erin Mallon and Jacob Morgan. When male and female narrators try to impersonate the opposite sex it can often be cringey, but these two have a knack for it. Jacob also nails the sexy and funny combo. Erin’s performance is as wonderful as ever.

About Helena Hunting
New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of PUCKED, Helena Hunting lives on the outskirts of Toronto with her incredibly tolerant family and two moderately intolerant cats. She’s writes contemporary romance ranging from new adult angst to romantic sports comedy.
I also enjoyed this one more. Although, I was bothered that I didn’t love RJ in this one. It felt like a contradiction to how I felt with the first book. Great review!
