While I liked this book, the writing sometimes through me for a loop. Especially the sex scenes, I just felt kind of disconnected during the sex scenes. I did love their relationship, but I felt like with maybe a bit better writing I could've gotten deeper into it. I still give it three stars because I did like their love story and I wanted them to succeed.

Now this is one grumpy hero done right! This series is brilliant so far and I'm having the greatest time reading it.

This book was such a fantastic and entertaining read, I couldn't put it down. I was fascinated by it's characters, their banter and all things in between. I need some time to gather my thoughts to write a review this book deserves.

I’ve fallen in love and I can’t get up!
I can’t even begin the describe the feelings I have for this story! Stevie and Bishop has me cracking up with laughter, squealing with glee, clutching my chest in agony, and smiling like a complete fool! If I wasn’t already married to the love of my life, I’d be on a desperate mission to find a Bishop of my own! Bravo, Helena, you absolutely smashed this story out of the park!!

Helena has completely stolen my heart with this new book!! I devoured A Favor For A Favor in one afternoon. This new series is becoming a new addiction!
The feisty, spirited banter mixed with the broken, quiet souls of this couple is going to melt you into a puddle of goo. Bishop and Stevie are two pieces of a puzzle that didn't know they came from the same box, but once they figure out they fit together the picture is breathtaking.
Bishop doesn't exactly have great people skills, but for a hockey player that's not a skill he needs on the ice so it's not one he's ever worked on off the ice. When a pink haired, hot mess moves in across from him late one night his less than stellar personality welcomes her to the floor.
When Stevie catches her boyfriend cheating, her brother, Rook (Captain of the new Seattle expansion hockey team) offers up the apartment he wasn't using anyway. What he didn't mention was his grouchy neighbor that doesn't seem to own clothes because he only ever greets her in ridiculous looking boxer briefs.
When Bishop and Stevie begin a neighbor war (LOL hilarious moments) that eventually transforms into a different kind of war when he needs help after injuring himself. Why is it a different kind of war...when chemical attraction is involved and professional jobs are at stake the battle of wills begin. Who will crack first?
Bishop is missing tact and yet he is still so relatable. I adore him for his awkward, tackless, blunt personality more than any other character. He fits so well with Stevie who understands him, doesn't judge him for his personality or make him feel bad for it. He also understands her and how she fits into the sports life. They are such a unique, honest, and absolutely perfect pair!
