A Secret for a Secret by Helena Hunting
5.0
4.5 stars!
If I had to sum up my thoughts about this book in one sentence, it would be: Move over book boyfriends, you're about to be joined by another AMAZING hero!
Helena Hunting really knocked it out of the park with this story. She's created a wonderful cast of characters, each with their own personalities and goals. I absolutely loved the entire cast. The hero, Kingston (aka King), is the sweetest man! He's strong, kind, sexy and looks after those he cares about. He also has a touch of OCD and every little quirk he had just added to his deliciousness.
Then there was Queenie, the heroine... Queenie had a rough start in life and later made a few poor choices but with each setback, she worked hard to overcome obstacles and really make a life for herself. She was strong and independent, and although she often doubted herself, she really tried her best each and every time. She was also the perfect match for Kingston. She spiced up his life and he brought the calm to her storm.
As for the side characters, I loved Queenie's dad. He was a wonderful man and caring father, ready to take on the world to help his little girl. Kingston's "momster" also really added to the story and provided a strong sounding board for King to discuss and process his thoughts and feelings.
The storyline for A Secret for a Secret was very character-focused and I really think that was a perfect choice for this book. There was so much character growth that I think if any more action was added to the plot, it would've been too much. As a reader, I was able to really just focus on getting to know these characters and fall in love with them as they fell in love with each other. This book was so incredibly sweet and I loved every minute of it!
