Omg!! This book just may be my favorite book by Helena Hunting!! A Favor for a Favor gives us a different hockey team. A whole new group of players and women. I’m kind of in love with these players. 

Bishop is my new favorite hockey player. He’s gruff and moody, but underneath is such a lovable softie. His relationship with his brother is so loyal and loving. 

Stevie is Rook’s sister, who is Bishop’s new team captain. A series of misunderstandings cause a lot of hostility between bishop and Stevie, who are now new neighbors.

This book is a sweet and funny slow burn, enemies to friends to lovers lol... I loved it!

I honestly wasn’t sure exactly what I was expecting when I started this book. I went in to it blind, because any Sara Ney book is one that I’ll automatically read. 

I loved these characters. They’re flawed and oh so funny. Abbott and Brooks have the greatest meeting, the best friendship.. this book is the ultimate slow burn friends to lovers. With a meddling grandma and Desi the cat, this book will keep your attention.. While Brooks is a tad on the immature side, I loved him. Abbott was sweet and funny. 

I cannot wait for the rest of the books in the series. Brooks’ friends are a little douchebaggy, Immature but in kind of lovable. 

This is the first series I’ve read by Willow Aster. This is the story of Mara and Elias..

These two made me so frustrated at times. Mara was not an instant likable character. In fact in the beginning, I didn’t really like her at all. But the more I got in depth with the story I slowly saw the person she was behind the exterior she felt she had to put up. I really liked Elias. He did have some big issues that he kept so well hidden from everyone.

I love Willow Aster’s writing. She makes everything come to life. You feel like characters. Mara’s character was so well written. I cannot wait to read more of this series. While royals are not a unique trope this series is. I love the mix of characters!

If you've ever seen your teenage crush ten years later, and he turns out to be a complete jerk, then you know how Molly Ward feels. 

Once these two go head to head, their mutual dislike explodes into undeniable chemistry. But with what they have at stake, they just might detonate everything else along with it.

Michelle Claypot_reads “All the stars in the world for this! What a way to kick off my reading for 2020!! Oh my heart! This was absolute perfection.”

The Overflowing Bookcase “A wonderful novel that will become one I will re-read time and time again.”

PP’s Bookshelf “I just love when authors make me feel every single confusing, infuriating, breathtaking and heartbreaking feeling right in my heart. And Karla Sorensen did exactly that in Focused.”

My 5 Star Review:

Karla Sorensen was a new author I discovered last year. I had never read her books but once I read the Ex-Effect I was completely in love with her writing. The Marriage Effect blew me away. I feel in love with all the characters in that book. The Ward family completely stole my heart. 

When I found out that a new series was going to be written vented around the Ward sisters, I was so excited. These girls are so close and funny. In Focused about 10 years or so had passed since we last saw them. They’ve all grown in to great adults

Focused is Molly and Noah’s story. I loved getting to see more of Noah’s personality. He is such a dedicated football player but what has that dedication cost him? When he ends up spending so much time with Molly the tension is high. But Molly isn’t the same girl anymore. She just gets Noah and has a way about her. The chemistry between these two is so off the charts hot! You can’t help but love them and want them together.

The real scene stealer of the whole book? Noah’s grandma. Ah! I loved her soo much!! This book was so good that I wish I could read it for the first time again!
