Blurb

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.

Review

4 stars!

The moment I met Stevie in A Lie for a Lie, featuring her brother Rook, I knew I would love her story, and A Favor for a Favor did not disappoint! When Stevie walks in on her boyfriend cheating, on her birthday no less, she heads to her brother’s extra apartment to pick up the pieces of her heart. She is a mess and when she meets her brother’s neighbor, she is not impressed by his rude comments and the way he seems to hate her on sight.

They start things off on the wrong foot but when Bishop is injured on the ice, she realizes that they may be able to help each other out. She is a physiotherapist and if she can work on his injury and get him on the ice sooner, he can give her a glowing recommendation to help gain higher profile clients. A favor for a favor, it seems like a perfect plan.

A Favor for a Favor is an entertaining, hilarious, enemies-to-lovers sports romance that is easy to read and easy to love. The storyline is original and the characters are wonderful. Stevie is feisty and sassy, and has such a fun personality. She also has a backbone and can hold her own, making me love her even more. Bishop is working his butt off on the ice and he has a lot to lose if he doesn’t heal up quickly. He is a total jerk in the beginning but I understood where he was coming from once I learned why he was so upset when Stevie moved into Rook’s place.

From the beginning, even when they didn’t like one another, the attraction was there. The sexual tension skyrockets when Stevie starts helping Bishop with his physiotherapy. There are a lot of hands on moments during their sessions and Bishop’s response to being so close to Stevie is hilarious.

“You’d think you’d never seen a set of bare legs before.” She helps me lower myself into the tub and steps out.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a pair up close,” I grumble.
“Such a surprise, with your warm, fuzzy personality.”

There is also the fact that Stevie is the sister of Bishop’s teammate and he is now her client, both of which add to the forbidden aspect to the story, giving us a little more intensity between the two of them when they are together.

The progression of their relationship felt real, and though it starts off with a lot of hostility, Stevie and Bishop are a hoot. I was literally laughing out loud throughout the whole book. The banter is awesome and they both give as good as they get.

When Bishop decides to make his move it’s exhilarating and intense! They bring on the heat but still have a fun side when they start to get serious.

“I better not have the energy to do anything but sleep after you’re done with me.”
I push up on my arms so I can meet her hot, needy gaze. “Is that a challenge?”

Things are right on track when they hit a bump in the road that may be too hard to overcome. Thankfully, the drama isn’t over the top or drawn out too long so Stevie and Bishop can have the happily ever after they deserve!!

I really enjoyed A Favor for a Favor and am excited for A Secret for a Secret, the next book in the series. Ryan Kingston, AKA King, is coming in May!
