From New York Times bestselling author Helena Hunting comes a new romance about trading secrets, breaking the rules, and playing for keeps.
My name is Ryan Kingston, and I’m a rule follower. I’ve never been in a fistfight. I always obey the speed limit. I don’t get drunk, and I definitely don’t pick up random women at bars.
Except the night I found out that my whole existence has been a lie.
I got drunk. And picked up a stranger.
Her name was Queenie, and she was everything I’m not: reckless, impulsive, and chaotic. We did shots and traded secrets. And ended up naked at my place.
She left me a thank-you note in the morning and her panties as a parting gift. But no way to contact her.
Six weeks later I’m sitting in the first official team meeting of the season, and there she is. I neglected to mention that I’m the goalie for Seattle’s NHL team.
And Queenie? Turns out she’s the general manager’s daughter.

A Secret for a Secret is Helena Hunting’s newest addition to her endearing hockey series, All In.  I immediately connected with the two main characters, Kingston and Queenie and the story kept me quickly turning the pages to find out what would happen next. 

 

Kingston is a goalie and a professional hockey player with a heart of gold. He is a rule follower and always tries to do the right thing. He is delightfully charming and a little awkward with Queenie and he stole my heart, right along with hers.

 

I enjoyed Kingston and Queenie’s story.  Even though they are total opposites, they are perfect for each other.  Queenie is messy and goes from one problem to the next.  She doesn’t follow rules, she does her own thing.  Queenie’s impulsive behavior causes her to make some bad decisions. She just crashes through life without thinking of the consequences. Kingston is wholesome and thinks everything over carefully before he makes a move.  Queenie is fun and easygoing and she helps Kingston enjoy life, while Kingston helps Queenie organize hers. This is an enchanting story with endearing characters. I loved all the banter and fun entertaining characters in this story.
