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 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.

A Lie for a Lie by Helena Hunting had me hooked from the opening pages.

It was a masterfully woven story about connection, second chances, and secrets that comes together in a story that kept me glued to my kindle rooting for RJ and Lainey’s forever happy!

I think the most amazing part of this story that both characters lie or maybe better said they withhold truths but the story is crafted with such literacy genius the reader never dislikes either character. The plot is so well done the reader understand the context and wants it to end in a forever happy.

The reader is able to bare witness to attraction and the deep connection. As RJ and Lainey two career focused people work to weave their lives together the readers get to be apart of the new family dynamic that develops. Speaking of family, I adored the use of Lainey’s to move the plot forward and the use of RJ’s teammates to give this relationship and his deep feelings for Lainey true context.

I loved RJ and Lainey and their happy was so perfect for them!!!!!

This book is completely stand alone and now I want more of this world. I am so excited for book 2 in the series A Favor for a Favor  about RJ’s sister
