A Secret for a Secret (All In Book 3) Kindle Edition

4.4 out of 5 stars 12,493 ratings

From New York Times bestselling author Helena Hunting comes a new romance about trading secrets, breaking the rules, and playing for keeps.

My name is Ryan Kingston, and I’m a rule follower. I’ve never been in a fistfight. I always obey the speed limit. I don’t get drunk, and I definitely don’t pick up random women at bars.

Except the night I found out that my whole existence has been a lie.

I got drunk. And picked up a stranger.

Her name was Queenie, and she was everything I’m not: reckless, impulsive, and chaotic. We did shots and traded secrets. And ended up naked at my place.

She left me a thank-you note in the morning and her panties as a parting gift. But no way to contact her.

Six weeks later I’m sitting in the first official team meeting of the season, and there she is. I neglected to mention that I’m the goalie for Seattle’s NHL team.

And Queenie? Turns out she’s the general manager’s daughter.

is another different story in the series because they drastically change the tone
4 out of 5 stars
is another different story in the series because they drastically change the tone
Ryan and Queenie is another different story in the series because they drastically change the tone. . They both have unresolved mother issues and I totally get it but I didn't like the resolution. . I understand that it is a romcom, romance and comedy but I did not like the tone of how things are in his family and then in the next book I felt that this problem was getting deeper and they could not move forward . Ryan and Queenie meet in a bar while both, totally unaccustomed to drinking alcohol, try to get drunk and after telling each other their darker secrets and having several drinks, they spend the night together. . After a few months they both meet again and for the perfect and correct Ryan to discover that his one stand is the daughter of his team's manager is as terrible as the impossible attraction he continues to feel. But he is willing to do things right and give himself permission from his father to date her . Both go through several tests to reach a good ending and the plot seemed perfect to me until the last resolution with which I do not agree. . Not all stories have to end with happiness and flowers for all the characters and I would have liked a better resolution since in the next book with the story of Hannah and her family that is his family as well, her mother above all acts horrible and I would have preferred a 'we continue working on it' instead of we're fine and all that, some scars need time even if it's fictitious . But I enjoyed the chemistry between the characters and how they were perfect for each other

    Attention all sports romance lovers, this is the series for you! If you love a heroine who’s a bit of a chaotic jumble and a hero with an alpha outside and a soft, squishy, big-hearted inside, you'll fall helmet over hockey skates for Queenie Masterson and Ryan “King" Kingston. These two had a brief encounter, and it's quite the shock when King reports in to start pre-season training and learns that the girl from his very out of character one night stand is his general manager's assistant and daughter.

    Queenie is one of my favorite types of heroines. Her internal dialogue, influenced by some pivotal people in her life, has made her believe that she's a worthless human being and will never amount to anything. So it’s no wonder she leaves a lot of things unfinished and runs when things get hard. Why bother trying to succeed when she feels set up to fail?

    Then King sweeps into her life and, other than her father, he's the only person who sees down to the heart of her and realizes what an amazing person she is and how much she has to offer. And this guy, he encourages her, cherishes her, sticks with her through everything, and helps her see herself through his eyes. *swoon* Isn’t that the kind of guy we all wish for?

    I love this book so hard, and everything about it! From King's outrageous family and the bickering and bantering between teammates, to an anti-hero you'll love to hate, it's all amazing. (And I can’t help wondering if Mr. Anti-hero will get his own book, because that redemption would be epic!) With perfect comedic timing and a nice dose of steam, it's the heart of this book, and the way it will manipulate and play yours, that makes this book such a phenomenal, memorable read.

    If you've read this author, you're already one clicking this one and, if you haven’t, you’re going to want to fix that. You need King and Queenie in your life! Fun and flirty, sexy and sweet, and hilarious and heartfelt, you absolutely don’t want to pass this one up!

    A Secret for a Secret is the third book in the All In series. Helena Hunting has become well-known in the Rom-Com genre and rightfully so. You can always count on good humor to go along with a great story!

    Ryan "King" Kingston plays for the NHL's Seattle team and to put it mildly, he's got a crazy family. He's just learned some life altering news, so he does what he rarely does and heads to a bar to have some drinks. What he doesn't anticipate is taking a woman home with him and even beyond that, he doesn't ever expect to see her again. But you know how that goes...

    Queenie Masterson is trying to figure out what she wants to do with her life. She's just recently lost her job and decided to move closer to her father, Jake, who is the GM of the Seattle NHL team. She ends up becoming his assistant and while she's good at her job, it seems that chaos tends to follow her.

    When King and Queenie realize that they were each other's one-night stand from weeks before things become complicated. They have chemistry like no other, but because they are both affiliated with the team, and Queenie promised her dad that she wouldn't date players, things hit a dead end before they can reconnect. Will that stop them though?

    King is amazing. He's quirky, but I loved that about him. He is so down to earth, caring, considerate and he's definitely a rule follower. The way he treats Queenie and stands by her, defends her and loves her is awesome. Queenie is short on self esteem and rightfully so based on things that have gone on in her life. I enjoyed seeing her grow as the book went on when she was surrounded by the right people.

    Another aspect that I loved is that we got to see people from previous books, including Alex and Violet, which is always wonderful. This was highly entertaining and I look forward to what Helena Hunting has to offer us next!

    I couldn't wait for King's book because he was such an interestingly weird character, so straight laced and proper which is NOT at all what you expect from a hockey player!!!! I think this was the best book out of the 3, which is saying a lot!!!! Loved it!
    We met Ryan Kingston in Rook's story. He's the goalie for the Seattle NHL team, extremely straight laced, doesn't drink alcohol but milk, and had a steady girlfriend for several years. Never had a 1 night stand and was always a gentleman. All that kinda changes when his family drops a bomb of a secret on him and he meets Queenie in a bar.
    Queenie was such a wonderful lead female character!!! I want to be her friend and hang out! She doesn't have the best self esteem, due to a absentee mother and poor choices in men. She does have a wonderful father, but she feels like she's a burden to him. Mostly due to her selfish mother telling her she is! Really didn't like her!! She's keeping secrets of her own, which one big one comes back to bite her in the ass!
    These 2 together were amazing!!! Opposites in a lot of ways, but similar in so many others. Queenie brough King to life and he brought calm to her storm. Perfect!!
    It was great to visit with Rook, Bishop, Lainey, Stevie, and Violet. It was also a bonus to get to know Alex and Violet's kids! They were such a wonderful addition to the story! Of course, there were the characters that you love to hate - Corey Slater and Sissy!! Lord, they were just horrible humans! And King's family was interesting, to say the least.
    I loved this book! It was fun, made me laugh, had me swooning, had some very HOT scenes, and just the right amount of angst. I do think it was the best of the series, and that's saying a lot since the first 2 were awesome!!

    Reviewed in Canada on January 16, 2024
    Back for another wonderful, insightful, and very well written story by Helena Hunting. This time It's goalie Kingston aka King who takes centre stage. He's the quintessential good boy in khakis and white polo shirts who orders milk in bars and never drives over the speed limit. He's had the same girlfriend for eight years and never cheated on her. Then he breaks up with his girlfriend and a big family secret blows up his whole "perfect" life. When he goes to a bar to drink down his sorrows, he ends up picking up a one night stand that blows his mind. When he awakes the next morning she's gone much to his dismay but she reappears at training camp as Queenie, the off limits daughter of the general manager. The problem is these have chemistry through the roof and can't stay away from each other even though they're total opposites. He's calm and organized and she's creative and disorganized. She's also hiding a big secret from her past that comes back to bite her on her rear in a very very public way and threatens her relationship not only with King but also her dad. Much angst and confusion abounds! Toss in his mom who's determined to wrest him from the clutches of Queenie and back with his original gf, her over-protective father, a new star hockey player on the team and his crazy fiance who are bent on vengeance and determined to cause chaos in her life, and a delightful cast of secondary characters and you have another heartfelt story by Hunting. The books in this series don't need to be read in order but it does help to keep the characters and their back stories humming along. Highly recommend them all.

    King is the calm one, Queenie is the chaotic one. But they are perfect for each other. King is so balanced and poised, it's actually beautiful how he handles all problems...I actually felt very happy to read this book. Not just because how King is calm, but also how Queenie finally knows what to do and faces her insecurities.

    A Secret for a Secret is book #3 in the All In Series by Helena Hunting.

    I love sport romances, especially when hockey is involved. So I think the Pucked Series and the All In Series are amazing.
    I like that both series are intertwined with each other. We meet a lot of new characters in the All In Series, but there's also this familiarity when Violet and Alex pop up again during a book. I like that a lot.

    A Secret for a Secret is the love story of Kingston and Queenie.
    They're both so different, but that's exactly what makes them perfect for each other.
    I had so much fun while reading their book. It is a funny, hot and beatiful story.
    I liked the different twists and turns during the book. Thanks to them, it never gets boring.

    I was also fascinated by the next generation. I really hope we get Lavenders Story.
