From the New York Times bestselling author of the Pucked series comes a romantic comedy about instant attraction, second chances, and not-so-little white lies.Sometimes I need an escape from the demands, the puck bunnies, and the notoriety that come with being an NHL team captain. I just want to be a normal guy for a few weeks. So when I leave Chicago for some peace and quiet, the last thing I … quiet, the last thing I expect is for a gorgeous woman to literally fall into my lap on a flight to Alaska. Even better, she has absolutely no idea who I am.
Lainey is the perfect escape from my life. My plan for seclusion becomes a monthlong sex fest punctuated with domestic bliss. But it ends just as abruptly as it began. When I’m called away on a family emergency, I realize too late that I have no way to contact Lainey.
A year later, a chance encounter throws Lainey and me together again. But I still have a lie hanging over my head, and Lainey’s keeping secrets of her own. With more than lust at stake, the truth may be our game changer.

With no doubt in my mind, A Lie For A lie is my absolute favorite book by this author. I am a huge fan of Rom-Com’s and this author got me, hook, line, and sinker. I could not put this one down. A Lie For A Lie had EVERYTHING I needed to make it a 5 star review. It delivers the hot and sweet between NHL’S golden boy, and the sexy nerdy girl with many degrees. Their story held great qualities including but not limited to, each and every character, the simplicity of the plots, and the maturity that each character showcased. There was amazing development that flowed with such perfection, that A Lie For A Lie completely consumed my entire being. This is a journey that I will gladly partake in. I can not wait for the rest of this series.
Lainey is simplicity at it’s best. Being the youngest child, she has been coddled most of her life, when in reality she just wants to be set free. She has a love for learning, that I haven’t seen done yet. She is super duper smart. She has the ability to say whatever is on her mind, even though she is constantly a nervous wreck.
Rook. If I could lick him to claim him, that would have already been done. He is absolutely EVERYTHING that I need in my Heroes. He is super close with his family and teammates, and has learned a lot from his past mistakes. He is kind, and patient. He doesn’t overstep his boundaries, and is always willing to offer a helping hand.
A Lie For A Lie is fate at it’s finest. Is a second chance an option for Lainey and Rook?
*I RECOMMEND THIS BOOK

This is my second Helena Hunting ARC. I got this from the Montlake Romance website through NetGalley. I was very excited for this thats why I devoured it overnight.
If you’re looking for an angsty and heavy drama read, then this is not the one for you. This is a feel-good romance… One that would leave you with warm, fuzzy feels… If you’re having a sucky day and you feel like the entire universe is being a jerk to you, then this is the book to pick-up… It’s inspiring and heartwarming, and it’ll definitely lift your spirits up. Reading this book will make you sigh and swoon with heart-eyes emojis flying all-over.
And I felt like it was meant to be, at least for me because I’m a huge Chicago Blackhawks fan… although the book didn’t mention specifically about the Blackhawks, there is no other… and although I’m a Duncan Keith fan, I kept on picturing out a younger looking Patrick Sharp or Brandon Saad in my head for RJ… and hello? RJ Bowman? Bowman like Stan Bowman? Lol…
The pacing was great, the plot and the characters were awesome. The overall story is focused on love and family. Reading this book will make you realize that things happen for a reason… and what’s meant to be will always find it’s way…
This is definitely something I’d get in paperback to add to my bookshelf.

Before staring it, I was deeply in book funk and one of the biggest book hangover ever. I was really affraid IF I will be able to dive in the whole story, as much as I want , but then BAM ! Mrs. Hunting prooved once again, that she loves me the most as a reader, that she only could give me the best story EVER.

ABSO-FREAKING-LUTELY must read !
Rook Bowman needed a break from all the extra curricular activities that come from being a the new Captain of the hockey team. He decides to get away to Alaska for a break. Never in his wildest dreams did he expect a gorgeous stranger to fall in his lap on the plane…literally!! A breath of fresh air who has no clue who he is. A year later he still can’t forget that girl he met, so imagine his surprise when said ”Alaska Girl”, Lainey Carver, shows up in his city! The only problem…he wasn’t completely honest with who he really is. Can these two get back what they had or will his lies be too much? If you have read the pucked series then you remember “Rookie”. We also get all the pucked men in cameos, so Bonus!! This is a great romantic comedy that I enjoyed from beginning to end. Lots of laughs and steamy moments. Lainey reminds me a lot of Violet and her runaway tongue lol. Rook is totally swoon worthy & I want some of his safety cuddles 😉 This one might of stolen my heart from Yeti Miller!!! Told in dual POV
