Series: All In, #3

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
"Kingston is just a guy. So I’ve been naked with him. Big deal."
Okay, out of the three books in this series this felt by far the heaviest. And I mean it in a sense that these characters really run deep. Yes, deeper than his hot dog on her doughnut.
Family drama, personality issues, self doubt? It's all in this book. Golden boy meets his match and oh how he loves to prove he is perfect without even saying!
The fact that these characters are way out of your expectations, especially personality wise, just makes the book so entertaining! I keep thinking about what I said on the previous review I put up for the previous installment and I don't remember ever feeling this light at the same time affected with how the heroine held her own.
Day and Night, Yes and No, Black and White. That's exactly how different they are. IN ALL SENSE. Ooh but opposites really do attract, don't they? If you ask them to take the test of compatibility, I doubt it would say they are a match or even 40% matched! Queenie is an emotional mess and Kingston is a responsible good boy. Two personalities that is not even on the same line but has a chemistry that could burst a bulb!
The maturity of the relationship and the capability to communicate is really just how most of relationships are successful. Regardless of what you think or how you think you are, there will always be that one person who accepts you, even if its highly unlikely.
Trust me, I was very affected. I felt so much for Queenie, I know I also felt strongly for Stevie in the previous A Favor for a Favor book but I have never felt so into the character that every time she is pushed by people she just accepts defeat because she doesn't think there was ever a point. At some point I realize Queenie's attitude is all a facade, she is very fragile, emotionally. I mean, so far Helena Hunting has written such amazing heroines in those I've read from her and none of them ever disappointed me but I have never been more taken by Queenie. She held her head high even on the toughest times. Literally tough, hard times!
Do you know what? I hate how perfect Kingston is on this book. He is your dream guy came to life. The guy your parents will love, the man who would no doubt treat you like a Royalty! Gah! There is no flaw!

*A Secret for a Secret by Helena Huntinge eBook Review*
Book Overview
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.
