A Favor for a Favor (All In) Paperback – January 28, 2020
Purchase options and add-ons
An Amazon Charts bestseller.
From the New York Times bestselling author of Pucked and A Lie for a Lie, a new stand-alone romance about trading favors, battling wills, and winning love.
When I joined Seattle’s NHL expansion team, I thought it was the start of something great. But nothing ever goes the way you expect. Take my introduction to my new neighbor. She came rolling in on the hot mess express at midnight, making a racket while she tried to get into my team captain’s apartment. Did I mention that he’s married to a woman who definitely was not her?
Imagine my surprise when I end up with an injury that has me out of the game for weeks, and she’s the one to offer to help me. I should probably add that she’s not the captain’s mistress. She’s his sexy, pastel-haired younger sister.
So we come up with an arrangement: she rehabs me so that I can get back on the ice sooner, and she can add a professional athlete that isn’t her brother to her client list. Seems simple enough. As long as I can keep my hands to myself and my hormones in check.

- Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2025Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThis was a really good one. I’ve read a couple of books by this author before and I think this is definitely the best one so far. I liked that the MMC and FMC were both strong and stayed true to their personalities throughout, and aren’t your typical warm and fuzzy types. I May read the rest of this series but skip the FMC’s brother’s book, even though other reviewers say they liked him I. His story. He comes across as pretty much a jerk in this one.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2025Format: KindleVerified PurchaseNear the end of A Lie For A Lie we learn that RJ (Rook) isn't a big fan of his new teammate, Bishop. So obviously we knew that Bishop was going to be the hero for Stevie's book.
I think it's important to break down the relationship dynamics - RJ & Bishop have always been on opposing teams so learning to be teammates is already going to be a challenge. Then RJ wins the captaincy largely due to his long time friendship with the coach of the new expansion team. So you definitely understand why Bishop isn't RJs biggest fan. It's also interesting because it wouldn't have been possible for me to love RJ more than I did after reading Lie - but he's kind of a d1ck in the 2nd book LOL.
Meanwhile, Stevie is fresh off a breakup with her long term boyfriend and trying to be a success in her chosen career field without the help or influence of her NHL Hockey brother.
I felt almost ill when Bishop was injured - I could definitely feel that pain and wow, that was hard to read. But with Stevie's help and extra PT, he gets back on the ice a week earlier than expected.
When they take their relationship to the next level, it's all good for Stevie until she finds out that someone exposed them on social media. Then she goes all radio silent which I thought was terribly unfair to Bishop - plus I was not of fan of the way the coach yelled at him, nor the way RJ got his licks in - so if you let me beat you up, then I'll be okay with you dating my sister? Okay, not my favorite chapter.
All in all, I enjoyed the story, especially because I liked the personalities of the two mains - even though I think Stevie should have been a little more self aware when she was inadvertently punishing Bishop for the crime of wanting to be her boyfriend.
Sweet Scale: 2/5
Spicy Scale: 3/5

I loved this book. I’ve listened to it multiple times and i can never get enough. The story is hilarious and the narration is supreme.
One of my favorite things is the newspaper wars. Who can shock who the most and i cracked up every single time.
I loved the progression of this book, how they went from mutually beneficial reasons to help one another, to friends, to more. The story line was great and i wanted to smack Rook upside the head a couple of times but other than that, i seriously loved the story!
It was definitely full of love, laughter, and funny banter.
The grump and the hot mess. ❤️
- Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2025Format: KindleVerified PurchaseOh Bishop and Stevie!! They are such a great combo together. This was a quick and easy read full of heart and banter.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2025Format: KindleVerified PurchaseIt was such a slow burn but it was the usual amazingness that is this series. The only thing I couldn’t get over was Bishop calling Stevie “bae” as an actual nickname. It was a joke and then stuck and it bugged me so much.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2024Format: KindleVerified PurchaseIt was an easy low stakes low angst low emotion romance read. I liked it just fine but no where near enough to rave about it. It was read and listen for free on kindle unlimited which was great because I mostly listened while I multitasked. It wouldn’t have been worth the audible credit. I liked the first book in the series more which was also read and listen for free with kindle unlimited. Love that option.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2020Format: KindleVerified PurchaseA Favor for a Favor is the second book in a spin-off series from Helena Hunting’s Pucked series. It is a slow burn enemies to lovers, sports romance told in dual pov. I loved the first book in the series but this is in a class of its own!! What will she have in store for us in the third book Kingston’s book!!
One of the things about Helena’s books you can always count on a funny, quirky, laugh out loud “meet cute” and she did not disappoint on this one.
Helena opens the story up with Stevie (RJ's younger sister from A Lie for a Lie) arriving at RJ’s empty apartment to stay. This is due to the fact that she was going to surprise her boyfriend at their new apartment, but she is the one that is surprised finding him plowing someone else on their brand-new couch!! Arriving at her brother apartment really late after having one terrible day, she looks a mess, she broke her suitcase, and she can’t get the key in the door. The door across the hall opens and this good looking but rude man starts yelling about all the noise she is making. What a way for her day to end her birthday no less!!
Misunderstanding on both of their parts, him thinking she is sneaking into his married team captain's apartment, so he is rude and disrespectable to her. Her thinking he is a womanizer who seems to have a constant stream of women in and out of his door and extremely grumpy.
Stevie does not know he is a member of the new Seattle’s hockey expansion team, the same one her brother is the caption on. Bishop does not know Stevie is the little sister of his new captain…the one that he does not see eye to eye with!!
These two start a love hate relationship that is so hot is could just combust. With all the tempers and snarky attitudes, full of banter and humor and one-liners with sizzling chemistry. There is this cat and mouse game in the hall in the mornings as they pick up their newspapers with him in his boxers with sayings on them and her wearing sports bras and yoga pants. They antagonize each other but all it is doing is arousing them both!! Their reactions are so hilariously funny!
During one of Bishop’s game he suffers a groin injury and is worried about being off the ice for too long. Even thou this was not funny some of the scenes you could not help to laugh out loud, him struggling to get into his apartment. Stevie finds him passed out in the hall and allowed him to stay on her couch overnight. She discovers he is a hockey player and eventually they make the connection!!
Stevie offers to help, she's a is physiotherapist specializing in sports therapy and would love to get some experience rehabbing an NHL player without her brothers help. She could get him back on the ice faster so he finally gives in. This is where the fun begins and boy was it fun!! Their friendship/relationship was a slow and steady build, they seemed to bring out the best of each other. But they were not without obstacles on their road to love!!
I enjoyed this story from start to finish and can’t wait for the next book coming.
I loved spending time with the Pucked family, and oh boy I’ll just say omg Violet!!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2025Format: KindleVerified PurchaseJust finished another re-read of this fun book. Stevie and Bishop are delightful! Their story is a low-angst, grumpy/sunshine, enemies-to-lovers treat. All of the characters are three-dimensional, and Bishop’s underwear is almost a character on its own.

- HelenReviewed in the United Kingdom on June 22, 2022
5.0 out of 5 stars A big 5 stars!
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI'm really enjoying the All In series, and A Favor for a Favor is my favourite. Bishop and Stevie's story is a slow-burn, fun and sexy read, but it doesn't shy away from emotion either. Stevie is a sports therapist and the sister of Bishop's hockey team captain. They do not have the ideal first meeting, with Bishop making some assumptions about Stevie, but when Bishop is injured, Stevie makes him an offer he can't refuse. The 'favour for a favour' brings them closer every day and soon they can't deny their real feelings.
Not only am I loving this series in it's own right, but getting cameos from Pucked series favourites is just the icing on an already pretty awesome cake!

- Voracious ReaderReviewed in Canada on January 13, 2024
5.0 out of 5 stars They shoot, they score!
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseWhen a rehab therapist just out of a bad relationship meets a grumpy hockey player who's enemies with her hockey player brother, sparks fly. She thinks he's the biggest man who*re around based on the constant parade of hot women in and out of his apt and the fact that he always wears loud and usually crude underwear to answer his door. He thinks she's an amoral puck bunny and a home wrecker because she's staying in his team captain's apt not realizing she's his sister. Despite all this they strike a deal: she'll do extra rehab to get him back on the ice after a severe groin injury and he'll write a great reference for her to support her new career as an RT. Despite her brother's fervent objections to the relationship and her truly obnoxious ex who just won't take no for an answer the two of them fall in love, of course. The best part of this book and what elevates it above others of its kind is the great bantering relationship. They're a one of a kind couple and just meant to be. Read this book. You'll love them as much as I did.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hot & Hilarious
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseA Favor for a Favor is book #2 in the All in Series by Helena Hunting.
It's Stevie and Bishop's story.
This book is hot and hilarious.
At first Stevie and Bishop don't like each other, but the constantly bickering between these two is so funny to watch (or read).
Who doesn't like to look at an almost naked pro athlete in ridiculous underwear, and with a lot of muscles on display every morning!? (I wouldn't complain🤷🏻♀️)
After these two finally giving in to their mutual attraction, this book gets a lot hotter than it already is.
I'm a sucker for sports romances, especially if hockey is involved, so this book is just perfect for me.
I already loved The Pucked Series, and after A Favor for a Favor i'm in love with this series as well.
I can't wait for the next book.
