Review: A Favor for A Favor by Helena Hunting

SYNOPSIS:

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:

WHAT A DELICIOUS SLOW BURN!!

This book starts you off with a real McGrumpypants hockey dude who meets Stevie, his new neighbor, while only wearing his underwear! Stevie has just gotten out of a shit relationship and is moving into her brothers empty apartment. When Bishop & Stevie start having their pants off morning meetings to try and get under each others skin, I was losing it!! Helena Hunting writes some of the best rom com banter out there. So freaking funny.

Stevie is a physical therapist working with college athletes, when Bishop gets a nasty groin injury during his NHL game. Stevie & Bishop work out a deal for her to assist in his rehabilitation and he will give her a recommendation. The build up that ensues is one of the reasons I LOVE slow burns. There is palpable anticipation and chemistry between these two! Especially with Stevie ordering him to take epsom salt baths and massaging his leg the whole time!

This book features some great Violet cameos, she is too funny! I can't wait for this one to release on audio too with the number 1 romance narrator: Jacob Morgan.
