A Secret for a Secret by Helena Hunting

4.0

I don't know if this is the last book in the series but from what I've read I think it might be and it makes me kind of sad because I grew to love these characters so much and they are just so familiar to me. I really loved this book a lot. It's my second favorite in the series but what I like the most is that every book in the series was so different from the others. I loved all the couples and their stories.

A Secret For A Secret was such a sweet romance, I had so much fun reading it. The plot was entertaining, I really loved the characters and it went by so fast.

Queenie was so different from Lainey and Stevie which was so refreshing and great. I liked how open she was and I loved her outgoing personality. She was also funny and I really appreciated her visible change and growth during the book. Queenie was an artist which was also a really great thing.

Now... I am completely in love with Kingston, like absolutely in love. I read so many books where the guys are alpha males and bad boys that I forget how great it is to read a book with the sweetest, most loving and caring guy ever. And Kingston was just that, he was so amazing and respectful and I was swooning over him the whole time. I adored his personality, his clothing and driving choices and his love for milk. He was truly the light of this book and I loved him with all my heart.

Queenie and Kingston were so perfect for each other. The chaos and the calm. The Queen and the King. I really felt like they were made for each other. They brought out the best in each other and they worked so well together. I also really loved their banter and chemistry but most of all their pure love for one another.

There was quite a bit of drama in this book especially in the last third of the book. It was a little over the top at times and I felt like it dragged on for too long but it wasn't anything overly angsty, it was more entertaining than anything else. I liked how it all got sorted out and the ending was pretty cute and sweet.

But what I need and really really want right now is a story about Queenie's dad Jake and King's momster Hannah. There was a tiiiiiiny little glimpse at their first meeting and in the epilogue there was a mention of Jake finding love but it was "for a whole another story"... Sooo that means I need that story. Right now.

I don't think I've read any books by Helena Hunting before this series but I am looking forward to reading more from her in the future. Her writing is flowy and easy to follow, I like her characters and her stories.
This series was so much fun and I had a blast with it.
