My new favorite in this series, A Secret for
a Secret was a delightfully sweet, sinfully sexy romance. Since meeting
Ryan "King" Kingston in A Favor for a Favor, I was curious
about this wholesome hockey player, and could not wait for his story. I
had a hunch there was more to this strait-laced goalie than meets the eye and
boy was he a pleasant surprise. What began as an evening of drinking, sharing
secrets, and unbridled passion forever changed this couple's lives. A humorous
and heartwarming opposites-attract love story, with a hint of drama and all the
feels, King and his Queenie had me giggling and swooning throughout this entire
read.
One drunken evening two strangers met, each feeling vulnerable, and decided to share their deepest secrets. The attraction between them was so intense, both were all in for an unforgettable one-night stand and later, haunted by the memories. It took a few months for King and Queenie's paths to cross again as they now work for the same NHL team. His hot hookup turned out to be the general manager's daughter, and worse, he unknowingly broke a significant rule ~ Queenie was off-limits. But that didn't stop King from pursuing and claiming his fair queen.
King was not your average hockey player and he threw me for a loop in a
good way. I'm so used to the broody and abrasive hero typically found in sports
romances. Then along came King, who was more boy scout than bruiser as he was
gentle, patient, and incredibly loving. Even-tempered and a rule follower, he
was the perfect gentleman with a tremendous heart. The way he loved, encouraged
and protected Queenie had me gushing.
King also possessed a delectable dirty side that
I completely LOVED. Beneath that clean-cut persona, lived a lustful and
dominant man, who was a beast. I just adored both sides of his personality.
Queenie Masterson
was a flaky hot mess. Funny, witty, and beyond kind, she was a sweet and likable heroine. Pandemonium seemed to surround her, which I found endearing, as it only added to her sparkling personality. Her chaos added light and life to King's relatively calm world.
However, Queenie struggled with insecurity
issues, believing she was unworthy and inadequate, especially when it came to
accomplishing goals. I admired the way she fought to overcome these feelings of
self-doubt to find her courage, passion, and strength. And with King by her
side, it was a beautiful thing to see Queenie blossom.
I enjoyed every moment of King and Queenie's
journey, as they had a deep connection, a tremendous amount of chemistry, and
complemented each other beautifully. Great fun spending time with this loony
crew of both old favorites and lovable new characters. The Waters' kiddies were
adorable and I could not help falling in love with them. The relationship
between Queenie and Lavender Waters was particularly touching. A Secret for
a Secret was another fun and flirty romantic comedy from Hunting's creative
imagination. If you are looking for an amusing and sexy read, this romance is
definitely for you.
