I don't think there will ever be a book I don't like from Helena Hunting, this series and their characters are fantastic. Kingston and Queenie are a couple you need to know their story, it was fantastic, their chemistry, the witty moments how they complement each other in every way. The storyline will keep you reading through it in no time, and you will want it to never end.

Queenie and Kingston are strangers that met at a bar, had a one-night stand and didn't exchange phone number. Fast forward six weeks and the NHL goalie Kingston gets the surprise of a lifetime... The General Manager's daughter is Queenie, her father's new assistant. Neither knew of each other so this is awkward and they pretend to not know each other at first. Soon they realize that the one-night stand was not enough, they want more.
This is the typical romance novel that's easy to read with a little steam. Try it!

2.5 stars. I can’t get behind a grown man who orders milk at a restaurant. Or just drinks that much milk in general. The best parts were Violet and Stevie as side characters.

I LOVED Queenie and Kingston's story. This is the 3rd book of the All in Series, which is a little spin-off from the Pucked Series.
Queenie is trying to get back off her feet after losing her job, she moves back home and takes the job as her dad's assistant who happens to be the General Manager for the Seattle NHL team, on her first day she comes face to face with Kingston... the guy who she hooked up with a few weeks ago - turns out that he's the goalkeeper for dads team.
This story is super sweet, I liked how genuine Kingston was, he was really understanding and supportive to Queenie which was lovely, not too much macho man stuff going on he was the right amount of protective without being overbearing. Queenie has made a few mistakes and is trying to figure out her life, outside influences have done a number on her self esteem and she pretty much feels like she's a failure at everything.
I think part of the reason these two worked so well was that they really picked each other up when the other was down. King made her see that she is worthy and can do whatever she puts her mind too.
A highlight of this book is, of course, seeing how all the old characters are from the Pucked series, mainly Violet and Alex, it's always a treat when these two pop up.
In a nutshell...
A great feel-good Hockey romance that will leave you feeling happy.

I was sceptical about Kingston because he wasn't a character I thought I would like so much from seeing him on the sidelines in the other two books. He just seemed a bit odd and different to the "typical" hero. But that proves I shouldn't judge a book by its cover because his quirkiness made him such an intriguing and attractive character.
Kingston and Queenie are entirely different characters and they have a beautiful opposites attracts romance with a slight age gap. I was rooting for them to work out from start to finish and both Kingston and Queenie have some challenges to work through. Kingston proves that he can be the rule-abiding alpha hero who drinks milk and drives with his hands at ten to two while being a multiple O scorer in the bedroom. Kingston is so gentle and kind to Queenies crazy chaos but they definitely work.

I honestly didn’t think any hockey player could get any better than Bishop but let me tell you King takes the cake. I still love Bishop and I especially loved getting to see more of his and King’s bromance, but Kingston was pure perfection. He is a khaki, polo wearing, polite, prom and proper man but get him in the sheets and he is wild, out of control, and sexy. Queenie makes me laugh and I feel so sad for her because she feels like she is a disappointment to her father and her life is chaos and it is but she works hard, loves even harder, and is brilliant. She is the perfect storm for King’s calm. These two are total opposites but they bring the best out in each other and after enduring some drama will they make it or cut their losses and walk away? I loved the banter, wit, family vibes this book had and Violet didn’t annoy me in this book I actually found her enduring. This author knows how to write such cute, steamy reads that make you smile and feel like you are part of the character’s world.

This book made me feel like I was losing my mind. Why did they talk about milk so much!! Milk is mentioned TWENTY FOUR TIMES.
