“A sexy, heartwarming read!” —Elle Kennedy, New York Times bestselling author


A Lie for a Lie, an all-new sexy second chance romance from New York Times bestselling author Helena Hunting is available now!




Hunting-A Lie for a Lie-28155-CV-FT



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.

REVIEW:

4.25 stars
****


This was a great book! A Lie for a Lie is RJ/Rook and Lainey's story. RJ and Lainey meet on a plane to Alaska. Lainey is a small town, very sheltered woman, who is doing college online and is in Alaska to do research. RJ is a pro hockey player who is staying in his family's cabin to relax before his season and to ice fish. The two meet and have instant chemistry. RJ is glad that Lainey doesn't know who he is, as he is used to girls liking him for his job. Instead Lainey likes him for him. So he lies and tells her that he is a farmer. But as the two spend lots of time together in Alaska, he plans on telling her the truth, because they both really like each other. However, before they can exchange information, RJ is called away for a family emergency, abruptly ending their time together. Over the next year, they look for each other, but neither know enough information to find each other. So imagine their shock when they meet again at the Chicago aquarium, where Lainey is now working. And she has a huge, life changing surprise for him. Over time, the two reconnect and fall in love.

I loved this book. Lainey and RJ were so sweet together. Neither really wanted anyone else during their separation. They pined for each other and were so glad to find each other again. Their circumstances were different when they reconnected and Lainey is cautious, but after a bit she saw how much RJ missed her and cared about her. I loved the two of them together. They had great chemistry. This book has one of my favorite tropes ( (view spoiler) ) and I loved the way it worked out in this book. The writing and story were very good. There is also a few cameos of Pucked characters, which I enjoyed as well.

A Lie for a Lie was a really sweet, simple story and an entertaining, easy read. There was little angst, despite the unusual circumstances, which I love. This book ranks right up there with my favorite Helena Hunting books. I can't wait to see what she comes up with next!
