From Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and Amazon Bestselling Author Natasha Madison comes new enemies to lovers, forbidden, single mom, hockey romance.

Christopher
I came from the biggest hockey family in the NHL.
Records were set by my grandfather, my father, and now my brother.
I was taught to love the game, but more than that, I learned early the men you play with are your family.
You get on the ice every night and protect them, celebrate the wins, and pick each other up when you fall.
So when we lost Benji, I stepped in to help his wife and kids, but this pull I feel when it comes to them is something more than I can even understand.

Dakota
My life was perfect, until it wasn’t.
Gone was the husband I thought I knew and in his place was a stranger.
I saw him change before my eyes.
Then he was gone, leaving me and our girls alone.
I wanted nothing to do with anyone or anything that took him away from me.
But no matter how many times I’ve told his best friend I don’t need help.
He’s here doing things for us, and the worst part is, I want him to.

Review

“We didn’t find each other the way normal fairy tales are written … But I don’t give a shit because this is our story, and we get to write it.”

4 stars

This is the second book in the Meant For series, which forms part of the Natasha Madison hockey universe. The Stone/Grant/Horton families are deeply interwoven, but you can easily read the books as standalones as enough description is given to let you know who the key characters are in each story.

This is Christopher’s book. He is the son of Justin and Caroline (their story is This Is Forever, This Is, #4) and, like most of the men in the family, he’s a hockey player. His world is shaken when he learns that his best friend and teammate, Benji, has died suddenly, and he immediately leaves his big family holiday to return home to be there to support Benji’s wife, Dakota, and their two daughters.

Dakota thought was living her dream life, until her husband changed into somebody she didn’t recognise. Her heartbreak culminated in his tragic death by overdose on her couch, and now she’s left dealing with grief and anger, and facing life as a single parent. But she’s not doing it alone.

Christopher steps up and is right there by Dakota’s side, being there for the girls, offering support and comfort and generally being an awesome guy. As time goes on, their feelings for each other start to change, and in the most beautifully natural, honest and heartfelt love story, they fall hopelessly for each other.

“We are both in unchartered territory.” I smirk. “And there is no one else I want to be unchartered with than you.”
She tilts her head to the side. “Same.”

I loved watching these two come together. They have some tricky dynamics to navigate and some complicated feelings to work through, but they do it together, and with a lot of soul-searching and openly sharing their feelings, their relationship is functional and romantic, and it’s so gorgeous to watch.

“When we go there, and we will get there Dakota.” She smirks at me. “It’s going to be the last time it’ll be a first for both of us.”

Christopher is such a great hero. He’s got a huge heart, and he’s so sweet with Dakota and her daughters. And, of course, he’s sexy as hell, so the love story is hot and steamy, with lots of emotion and swoony moments.

“You’re mine. I’m not sorry you’re mine. I might be sorry about how it happened, but no way in fuck am I sorry for that.”

The whole family involves themselves, and there are scenes that had me laughing out loud at the antics and banter from Christopher’s siblings, cousins, father and uncles. I loved being back with this group, and look forward to more adventures with the family.

This is a really gorgeous read. It’s sweet and easy with nice emotion and very little angst, and I loved it.

4 stars.

About the Author

When her nose isn’t buried in a book, or her fingers flying across a keyboard writing, she’s in the kitchen creating gourmet meals. You can find her, in four inch heels no less, in the car chauffeuring kids, or possibly with her husband scheduling his business trips. It’s a good thing her characters do what she says, because even her Labrador doesn’t listen to her…
