Excerpt & Giveaway: A Favor For A Favor by Helena Hunting




Title: A Favor For A Favor
Author: Helena Hunting
Release Date: January 28, 2020
Publisher: Montlake

Summary

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.

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.


A Favor for a Favor is a laugh-out-loud, romantic comedy that is hard to put down. The slow burn will make you want more! I loved every minute of it.

This is Stevie and Bishop's story. Stevie is Rook Bowman's little sister, we met Rook in A Lie for a Lie. Stevie moves to Seattle for a new job after finishing her Masters degree in physiotherapy with a specialization in sports rehab. She worked hard and wants to spread her wings without her brother's help. Stevie's plans quickly change when she arrives in Seattle and finds herself moving into her brother's spare luxury apartment.

Winslow Bishop does not like be woken up from his slumber. When he discovers a hot mess trying to enter his team captains/archenemies' apartment, he's ready to call security. To Bishop's surprise that hot mess has the right key code.

When Bishop suffers from a groin injury in preseason, he's surprised to discover that the hot mess neighbor is willing to help him get back on his feet. His hot mess neighbor, who is also his captain's little sister. The same captain he can't seem to get along with. Good idea, probably not. But Rook wants back on the ice and Stevie wants the experience.

The banter between Bishop and Stevie had me rolling. I loved both characters and all their broken pieces. The story caught my attention from the get go.  5 Stars!

Book Review: The Romeo Effect by Lila Monroe

48401977. sy475


Seth Harding is a real-life cupid. If you get trapped in an elevator with a handsome stranger, or stranded on a moonlit cruise with the man of your dreams, chances are, it’s not fate bringing the two of you together, it’s Seth somewhere, pulling the strings.

At least, that’s what I find out, when someone hires Seth to help win my heart. It would be romantic… if he weren’t all wrong for me. And Mr Right…?

Well, he might just be the guy behind the scenes.

Suddenly, my faith in soulmates is hitting a major complication. Seth is cynical, and argumentative… and seriously irresistible. Soon, the sparks between us are impossible to ignore. But can this hopeful romantic really find love with a man who engineers happily-ever-afters for a living? And when all the tricks and tests are stripped away, what makes two people truly meant to be?



The Romeo Effect had me at Nathan's hotdogs.  The story is a light, sexy rom-com with a New York edge.
Seth Harding is the King of Meet-Cutes, skilled at romantic staging. Seth is hired by James, as a professional Romeo, to engineer a meet up with his obession, April. Let's just say it's a fail. 

After a brief encounter at April's business, she can't get the hot, witty heartthrob out of her head. Although fate tried to point her in another direction, she discovers the truth and Seth. 

Seth has a strict rule about dating clients, but even he can't ignore the chemistry between him and April. Can Seth give up his bachelor life style and possibly his job for true love? Read the book!

I fell hard for Seth. He has all the right intentions. He just needed his own meet-cute to find his match. I would love for Seth's boss, Winston, to get his own story. Winston reminds me of an old mafia boss who plays cupid. Maybe even just a little novella.  Need a sweet rom-com to brighten up your day? Look no further! 5

Review Tour: Inappropriate by Vi Keeland

INAPPROPRIATE IS LIVE!
A Standalone Contemporary Romance
#1 New York Times Bestselling Author Vi Keeland

SYNOPSIS
Terminated for inappropriate behavior.
I couldn’t believe the letter in my hands.
Nine years.  Nine damn years I’d worked my butt off for one of the largest companies in America, and I was fired with a form letter when I returned home from a week in Aruba. 
All because of a video taken when I was on vacation with my friends—a private video made on my private time. Or so I thought…
Pissed off, I cracked open a bottle of wine and wrote my own letter to the gazillionaire CEO telling him what I thought of his company and its practices.
I didn’t think he’d actually respond.
I certainly never thought I’d suddenly become pen pals with the rich jerk.
Eventually, he realized I’d been wronged and made sure I got my job back.
Only…it wasn’t the only thing Grant Lexington wanted to do for me. 
But there was no way I was getting involved with my boss’s boss’s boss. Even if he was ridiculously gorgeous, confident, and charming.
It would be completely wrong, inappropriate even.
Sort of like the video that got me into trouble to begin with.
Two wrongs don’t make a right.
But sometimes it’s twice as fun.

Excerpt Reveal: Inappropriate by Vi Keeland


Excited about Vi Keeland’s upcoming release, Inappropriate?
Check out this SNEAK PEEK

I wondered if he’d be here.
I was mid-conversation with some former colleagues I hadn’t seen in a few years when I got my answer. The sight of him made me lose my train of thought.
On the other side of the room, Grant Lexington stood wearing a classic black tuxedo. He was talking to an older gentleman, which gave me the opportunity to really take him in—tall, broad shoulders, yet not overly bulky, a narrow waist with one hand resting casually in his pants pocket. Even from a distance, his confidence registered. There was something about the way certain men held themselves that showed they were in charge, and that really worked for me. It could take a man who was a seven and make him an eleven in my book. On the other hand, a handsome ten with a meek personality could be reduced to a five.
Mr. Confident held a drink in his left hand and raised it to his mouth, but he stopped before drinking. He seemed to sense something and looked around the room. When his eyes caught mine, a slow, wicked smile spread across his face. He excused himself from the conversation and strode toward me.
My body tingled as I watched him approach with long strides, and I turned from the group I’d been standing with.
“What a pleasant surprise,” he said.
I tried to appear casual as I sipped my champagne. “I’m filling in for Bickman.”
He nodded. “Of course.”
Grant eyed the group next to me. “Are you here with a date?”
“No. You?”
He smiled and shook his head. “Would a compliment be unwelcome? I wouldn’t want to sexually harass you.”
“Compliments are always welcome, Mr. Lexington.”
His eyes sparkled. Taking hold of my elbow, he led me a few feet away from the group I’d been standing with. “That’s a dangerous thing to say to a man like me.”
“What was the compliment anyway?”
Grant’s eyes swept over me. “You look beautiful tonight.”
I blushed. “Thank you.”
Grant stopped a waiter as he passed. He gulped back the rest of the amber liquid in his glass and slipped the flute of champagne from my hand, setting them both down on the waiter’s tray.
“I was drinking that.”
He motioned for the waiter to move along and returned his attention to me. “I’ll get you more when we’re done.”
“Done with what?”
He held out his hand. “Dance with me.”
I shook my head. “I’m not sure that’s such a good idea.”
He smirked. “I’m fucking positive it’s not.”
