When one night changes everything.

Ariella

The last time I saw him, I’d just turned eighteen.
Six years later we’re face-to-face again.
Neither of us wanted the night to end.
The next morning, we made a pact.
Each of us going our separate ways.
Until two pink lines changed everything.

Jaxon

Life was going my way.
Hockey. Family. All of it.
Until…I saw her.
She was different now.
One thing led to another and we got carried away.
It was supposed to be one night.
Our secret.
Then she’s at my door with news that rocks my world.
I’m going to be a dad.

The first book in a new series from Natasha Madison, she returns to her hockey dynasty with a fantastically fun, sexy and romantic friends-to-lovers, surprise pregnancy romance.

Natasha’s extended hockey dynasty now stretches across six series, and all are intermingled. In a fun tie-in, Jaxon is the son of Manning and Evelyn from Only One Night, and Ariella is the daughter of Ralph and Candace from Only One Kiss. There is all manner of crossovers with this larger-than-life extended friend and family group. You don’t need to have read the earlier books because, honestly, there’s so many characters now, I can barely remember who is who. But if you’re a mad Natasha fan with a memory better than mine, you’ll love the cameos (Matthew and Max FTW!).

We met Jaxon when he was a little kid to a single father in his parent’s book, now he’s all grown up and playing in the NHL. He and Ariella grew up together as their fathers are best friends, though she is seven years younger than him so they didn’t have too much to do with each other. Now, they are reunited as adults at a team party, attraction sparks, and they end up spending the night together. In the morning they both agreed that it was a great night but they’ll go their separate ways, back to their lives on opposite sides of the country.

But their plan for a clean break comes to a screeching halt when Ariella discovers that she’s pregnant. Jaxon immediately declares himself all in, and they pick up right where they left off from their steamy night,

“I’m in this, Ariella,” I tell her bending my head and putting my forehead on hers. “I’m all fucking in this.”

This is such a gorgeous romance! Both Jaxon and Ariella are no-nonsense, they say it like it is and they don’t hold back from each other, and I love how they just throw themselves into what they’re feeling. It takes them a little while to define it, and there is some external drama they have to deal with, but the journey is fun, sexy, swoony, and fantastically entertaining, and this is a gorgeously functional love story (Jaxon’s possessiveness is the icing on the cake!).

“I’ve never loved anyone the way I love you … I’ll fight the rest of my days to make sure it only gets better.”

The extended family are lots of fun, especially when the overprotective fathers and uncles get involved, and the family dynamics are so amazing. We also get a glimpse of the next book in the series, and I’m so excited for that one!

I loved coming back to Natasha’s hockey world, and I loved these characters, their story, and their blissful HEA.

Such a great read – 4.5 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…
