A Favor for a Favor by Helena Hunting
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
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.

The Hero: Bishop Winslow – recent addition to Seattle’s expansion team. Bishop helps out his brother who is a college student and has type one diabetes. Bishop wants to make enough money playing pro hockey to set him and his brother up for life. However, his plans hit a snag when he injures his groin in a pre-season game.
The heroine: Stevie Beauman – pink haired sister of expansion team captain R.J. from A Lie for a Lie. Stevie recently finished her graduate degree in Physiotherapy with a focus in sports medicine. On her birthday, she comes home early to find her boyfriend with another woman.
The Story: Bishop meets Stevie in the hall of his penthouse apartment on the night when she catches her boyfriend. She was having a bad day and having to move into her brothers penthouse in the middle of the night wasn’t helping any. The two are immediately acrimonious and end up having a very odd relationship from the start.
Bishop doesn’t like wearing clothes while at home since he is always warm and has a thing for non-standard underwear. After seeing him in nothing but his shorts a few days in a row, she decides to give him a taste of his own medicine. I really enjoyed these two and their banter. And the intimate scenes were sizzling, especially due to the fact that his groin injury made them wait quite a while.
Helena Hunting does sports romance like nobody’s business and I loved every minute of it. I am not big on watching sports, but I do love Hockey and Hockey players. The narration is dual POV and dual narration, done by Jacob Morgan and Erin Mallon. Erin Mallon is great as usual. I like that she talks pretty fast and her man voice is much better than most female narrators and Jacob Morgan has a deep and sexy voice that I really enjoy.
