5 stars!<\/b><\/p>\n
OMG, I love this book! It has the sense of fun and sexiness that I love about this series, but with a gutwrenching emotional punch that will take your breath away and have you feeling everything<\/i>! It\u2019s beautiful and sweet, funny, heartwarming and gorgeously romantic, and I absolutely loved it!<\/p>\n
Star NHL defenseman Zack Morrow\u2019s life is upended when he finds his wife in bed with his team mate and best friend. Desperate to leave the situation behind, he packs up his young son and transfers to the New York Stingers, giving them both a fresh start, and putting them near the renowned doctor who is his last resort for saving his son\u2019s life.<\/p>\n
Dr Denise Horton is the younger sister of New York Stinger, Max Horton (hero of Something So Irresistible<\/a>). She also happens to the very pediatric oncologist that Zack is seeking out. Denise had a hellish upbringing, but her older brother rescued her, and she has gone on to become a dedicated doctor, committed to her career and to the children she treats, even though each patient\u2019s loss tears a little piece of her heart out. And from the moment she meets Zack and his adorable five year old, Jack, she is smitten with the both of them. And immediately takes on the case.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat do you want to hear?\u201d Jack is a bright, bubbly and happy little kid and you can\u2019t help but fall in instant love with him \u2013 which is exactly what Denise does. Zack and Jack are pulled straight into the Stingers family, of which Denise is very much a part, and when they begin spending time together inside and outside of the hospital, Denise is effortlessly drawn into Zack and Jack\u2019s circle, becoming a friend and somebody to lean on as well as Jack\u2019s doctor. It\u2019s a support that Zack hasn\u2019t known until that point, and as they begin to open up and get to know each other, Zack and Denise\u2019s feelings for each other become impossible to ignore, and the emotions are intense!<\/p>\n I thought that Natasha did a wonderful job of getting us to the heart of Zack and Denise, understanding their fears and feeling their heartache right along with them. Zack, of course, as the father who is fighting for the life of his son, and Denise, who is right there next to him, but with the added pressure of having his life in her very hands. With their feelings for each other just adding to the intensity of it all.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat if I can\u2019t save Jack, and then he hates me for it?\u201d I say as tears streak down my face. And wow, what a beautiful love story! The chemistry is fantastic, and it\u2019s a slow build as they understandably dance around their feelings for a while before finally diving in. The sexual tension is great (and more than backed up by the super sizzling sexy time) and the emotion is obvious between them from the very beginning. And when it all happens for them it\u2019s easy, functional and so freaking beautiful. I could feel everything developing between them, and I loved watching it all happen for them.<\/p>\n \u201cLife is too short not to live to its fullest, and I want to live life.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n And woven into the romance, and balanced beautifully, is their fight for little Jack, and oh my God, the feels are intense from the very beginning. A gravely sick child is always a devastating storyline, and Natasha does a wonderful job with this one. It\u2019s terrifying and heartbreaking, and I was in tears more than once. But it\u2019s also incredibly uplifting, with a great sense of love and happiness as this little family support each other, openly love and laugh, and cherish every moment.<\/p>\n There is some drama, but it works to add to the story rather than overwhelm it. It\u2019s dealt with well, there is no angst, and not once was I frustrated with these characters.<\/p>\n I loved the inclusion of the characters from earlier books in the series. While you could easily read this one as a standalone, I loved seeing the story progression for Max & Allison and Matthew & Alyssa, and even Cooper & Parker. The group all gel together so well, and the dynamics are so much fun. The group as a whole is fantastic, and watching them be there to take Zack, Jack and Denise\u2019s backs through everything brought tears to my eyes (again).<\/p>\n And it ends beautifully with a sensational epilogue that once again had tears streaming down my face.<\/p>\n Natasha Madison made me feel everything with this book. I laughed, cried, swooned, and I absolutely loved it! It\u2019s definitely going down as a favourite.<\/p>\n 5 stars!<\/p>\n An Advanced Review Copy was generously provided by the author in exchange for an honest review.<\/i><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Something So Right (#1)<\/strong>\u00a0(Cooper & Parker) Something So Perfect (#2)<\/strong> (Matthew & Karrie) Something So Irresistible (#3)<\/strong> (Max & Allison) Something So Unscripted (#4)<\/strong> (Zack & Denise) Lots of spin-offs for this one!

The woman who said she would love me in good times and in bad yet is currently holding a sheet to cover her naked body.\u00a0 The four-carat engagement with matching eternity wedding ring glistens in the light. \u201cIt\u2019s just …\u201d she starts to say, and I look over at the man in bed next to her. In our bed.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s over.\u201d I say the two words I swore I wouldn\u2019t say no matter how hard it got. No matter how much I saw her push me away, no matter that I always suspected she was cheating on me. Then I look over at the man who I called a brother, the man who stood by my side on and off the ice. \u201cYou\u2019re scum.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt just happened,\u201d Colton says, getting out of the bed. At least he\u2019s wearing boxers. His knee is still wrapped from the operation he had last month, which is why he wasn\u2019t on the road with us, which is how I surprised them.<\/p>\n We were on the road for the whole week and due back tomorrow, but I hightailed it out of there to get home to my family and my son. \u201cIt just so happened you walked into my house and slept with my wife?\u201d I ask him, and I have to wonder why I\u2019m not more pissed, why I\u2019m not more angry with them. \u201cYou come here and sleep with my wife with my son under the same roof.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cZack,\u201d my wife says, and I look over at her again. Tears are rolling down her cheeks, her perfectly made up face now streaked with the black mascara she always wears. \u201cPlease let\u2019s …\u201d<\/p>\n I shake my head, putting my hands in my pockets. \u201cLet\u2019s what? Let\u2019s talk about this?\u201d I throw my head back and laugh. \u201cLet\u2019s talk about the fact that our son is in his room dying. Let\u2019s talk about the fact that instead of helping him, you\u2019re just helping yourself.\u00a0 Let\u2019s talk about the fucking fact that instead of being there by his side with me, you chose to escape the fucking reality that our son won\u2019t make it to six years old.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cNo.\u201d She shakes her head, and I know that I\u2019ve about had it.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ll give you an hour,\u201d I tell them both. \u201cOne hour and I want you packed and at the door when I come back.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cBut\u2014\u201d she says.<\/p>\n \u201cBut nothing, Chantal. You did what you had to do for you, and now I\u2019m doing what I need to do for our son.\u201d<\/p>\n I turn and walk out of our bedroom, then down the winding staircase that leads to the big brass front doors. Once outside in the warm Arizona air, I take my phone out of my pocket and call the only person I know who has my back no matter what. My agent and best friend, Jamie.<\/p>\n He answers after one ring, and it doesn\u2019t surprise me he sleeps with his phone in his hand. \u201cWhat\u2019s up?\u201d he says, his voice sleepy since it\u2019s four a.m. in New York.<\/p>\n \u201cI want out of Arizona, make the trade. Call the powers that be; I want out,\u201d I tell him, getting into my Range Rover.<\/p>\n \u201cYou can\u2019t just demand that,\u201d he says, and I hear sheets rustle.<\/p>\n \u201cJust walked in on Colton fucking my wife, so you can bet your ass I can. Make it happen. Call New York because it\u2019s the only place I\u2019ll go. I don\u2019t care if I take a pay cut.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThat fucking scumbag,\u201d he says. \u201cI\u2019ll call them now.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cJamie, there is a top-notch doctor who specializes in cancer in New York. Max Horton\u2019s sister,\u201d I tell him quietly and slowly drive out of my gate.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ll make it happen,\u201d he says softly. \u201cI\u2019ll let you know what they say.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cJamie, I\u2019m leaving here in a week regardless of what they say,\u201d I tell him and disconnect the call.<\/p>\n \u201cOne week,\u201d I say to myself. \u201cOne fucking week.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n When her nose isn\u2019t buried in a book, or her fingers flying across a keyboard writing, she\u2019s 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\u2019s a good thing her characters do what she says, because even her Labrador doesn\u2019t listen to her\u2026<\/p>\n Goodreads<\/b><\/a>\u00a0 |\u00a0 <\/strong>Twitter<\/b><\/a>\u00a0 |\u00a0<\/strong> Facebook<\/b><\/a>\u00a0 |\u00a0 Website\u00a0<\/a> |\u00a0<\/strong> Instagram<\/b><\/a>\u00a0 |\u00a0 Newsletter\u00a0<\/a> |\u00a0 <\/b>Amazon<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Amazon\u00a0 |\u00a0 Barnes & Noble\u00a0 |\u00a0 iTunes\u00a0 |\u00a0 Kobo Synopsis From the International Best Selling Series Something So Zack Finding my teammate in bed with my wife made the decision I had been […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":31531,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","yasr_overall_rating":5,"yasr_post_is_review":"","yasr_auto_insert_disabled":"","yasr_review_type":"Product","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[52,50,49,9,58,29],"tags":[59,581,48,686],"class_list":["post-31885","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-drama","category-favourite","category-feeeeeeels","category-romance","category-sports-star","category-steamy","tag-arc","tag-natasha-madison","tag-review","tag-something-so"],"yasr_visitor_votes":{"stars_attributes":{"read_only":false,"span_bottom":false},"number_of_votes":0,"sum_votes":0},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Something-So-Unscripted.jpg?fit=150%2C225&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p7gaNL-8ih","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31885","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=31885"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31885\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/31531"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=31885"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=31885"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=31885"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
