Nothing could prepare them for what was to come.
Kylie
I learned early in life that love isn’t just given, it’s earned.
Now I’ve decided love isn’t worth it.
At least that type of love.
Until him.
He was broken.
It was safe.
But then I went and did the unexpected.
I fell in love with him, knowing he would never love me back.
Knox
I thought I had it all.
I was playing hockey in the NHL.
Three beautiful kids and a wife who loved me.
Until I walked in on her in bed with my brother-in-law.
Everything I thought I had was a lie.
She was everything I thought I didn’t want, and when I least expected it.
I just hope when I finally figure it out, I haven’t lost her for good.
Review
3.5 stars
A spicy enemies-to-lovers, brother’s-best-friend hockey romance, this is a steamy read with plenty of emotion and a swoony love story, and I enjoyed this one.
This is the third book in the Only For series, part of Natasha Madison’s hockey dynasty. There is some character crossover from earlier books and mentions of the wider group, but this book can absolutely be read as a standalone.
Knox is a hockey player whose world is upended when he discovers his wife cheating on him, leaving him a single dad of three. A snarky run-in with a woman in a bar turns awkward when he discovers that she is actually the younger sister of his teammate and one of his best friends. Kylie is seriously unimpressed when she first meets Knox, and being the bold and confident young woman she is, she has no problem letting him know it. But during repeated run-ins, the chemistry between them cannot be denied and their bickering quickly turns into blistering hate sex.
Though they have no intention of a repeat performance, they keep falling back together, constantly snarking at each other the whole time. It’s entertaining and seriously steamy, and I enjoyed their fight/flirting. All of that animosity is channelled into sexy times, but soon everything starts to change.
These two have some emotional scars and a bit to work through on their way to a happy relationship, but we do get to see lots of time with them together, all loved up and happy.
Knox is such a great character – straight up and no-nonsense, just how I like my romantic heroes! He’s an alpha “mine” type of guy, which is always entertaining. It took me a bit to warm to Kylie, but I enjoyed her journey and loved seeing her embrace Knox and his kids so openly.
The writing is a bit repetitive, and I did zone out occasionally, but it’s definitely entertaining and a fun read.
3.5 stars.
I listened to this as an audiobook, narrated by Gregory Salinas and Rose Dioro, and they do a good job. Definitely an easy one to listen to.

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…
