I get so sucked into Helena Hunting’s hockey series… it’s kind of hard to stop once you start.

📕 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: A Secret for a Secret by Helena Hunting

📙 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀: All In character series. Book 3.

📗 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗗𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘀: Listened through Kindle. 🆓 on KU to read & listen.

📘 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗿𝗲: Sports romance

📔 𝗧𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝘀: Opposites attract, forbidden love, ONS, he falls first and HARD.

📖 𝗦𝘆𝗻𝗼𝗽𝘀𝗶𝘀: Ryan has always followed the rules. Until he meets Queenie, and begins to step outside his comfort zone. But she’s a hurricane to his calm seas, and they might be too different to stay together. 

🌟 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄: When you read as many romance novels as I do, finding a character who’s even a little unique is wonderful. And Ryan was that character to me. Most people write their leading men as alpha and brooding - but that’s not Ryan. He’s calm and thoughtful and a rule follower and sweet.

It takes a good writer to make those attributes stand up and feel great throughout 300 pages, and Helena Hunting nailed it. Ryan was layered and wonderful. And Queenie had a similar character arc that made me root for her to find happiness.

So invested in this series!

𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴: 4/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐
