Gabriella Stone<\/b>
\nMoving to LA was my dream since I was thirteen.
\nBy the time I was twenty, I was sought out by some of the most beautiful people in the world to take their pictures.
\nNo one cared that I came from a hockey dynasty.
\nEverything was perfect.
\nThen I met him.
\nIt was supposed to be a one-time thing.
\nBut it ended up being more. So much more.
\nUntil he betrayed me.<\/p>\n
Romeo Beckett<\/b>
\nGrowing up in LA, everyone knew I came from Hollywood royalty.
\nFollowing in my father’s legendary footsteps, I learned early on not to fall for the shallow shine of this city.
\nWhen I met her, I didn’t know she was what I’d been looking for.
\nIn one night, I ruined everything.
\nShe left without a second thought.
\nI’ve spent every day since becoming the man she deserves.
\nShe thinks it’s over.
\nShe’s wrong.
\nIt’s time to win her back.<\/p>\n

Add to Goodreads<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 4 stars!<\/b><\/p>\n The latest instalment in Natasha Madison\u2019s hockey dynasty, this is the story of Gabriella Stone (daughter of Justin), and in a fantastic crossover, Romeo is the son of Tyler and Jessica from Hollywood Playboy<\/a>\u00a0(book #1 of the Hollywood Royalty<\/i><\/a> series). Their story is an emotional and swoony second-chance-romance that was a surprising read, and that had me fully invested from start to finish.<\/p>\n Gabriella and Romeo met in LA. She was there working as a photographer, and he was an actor on the cusp of stardom. They shared an instant spark, and were in an undefined relationship for almost a year before Romeo broke Gabrielle\u2019s heart, and she ran back home to Dallas. It\u2019s now eight months later, and Romeo has just finished work on the film that will launch his career, but all he can think about is finding the girl he lost and winning her back at any cost.<\/p>\n I\u2019m here to win her back or die trying.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Gabriella is a strong, independent woman, and she\u2019s made a good life for herself in Dallas, where the majority of her siblings are based, and she gets the shock of her life when Romeo rocks up on her doorstep. The man betrayed her and left her devastated, and she still hasn\u2019t fully recovered from it, and she wants absolutely nothing to do with him.<\/p>\n My strong, beautiful woman is broken, and I broke her.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n We don\u2019t know what tore these two apart, but we know it was a big deal. The details are revealed as the story progresses, and it was a big \u2018wow\u2019 for me. Romeo is probably one of Natasha\u2019s most divisive heroes, but I applaud her for giving us a flawed hero. It makes him real, and as angry as I was, I couldn\u2019t help but feel for him, as his pain and regret is so beautifully written.<\/p>\n I see the pain I put in her eyes. I knew I hurt her, knew it was there. Knew we had to talk about it, but knowing and then seeing it is two different things. I don\u2019t know how I can make it up to her. I don\u2019t know what I can do to make her realize I was an idiot. I don\u2019t even know if she can ever look at me again without that pain in her eyes. I don\u2019t know what any of this will do, but I do know one thing. I love her. I love her with every single beat of my heart. I love her with every single breath that I take. I love her with every single fiber of my being. I just hope I can make her fall in love with me for a second time because this time, it\u2019s forever. <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n He screwed up badly. He owns it, he apologises sincerely, he has put in work to better himself, and he is determined to make it right and prove himself to his girl. He holds nothing back from Gabriella, laying his heart on the line and making all kinds of effort, and wow, that man can grovel!<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m nothing with you.\u201d I know I should take it slow. I know everything has to be on her terms. That is what I was told. I know all of this. My head knows all of this, but my heart just wants her to know I love her. \u201cI\u2019ve been nothing without you.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n I couldn\u2019t help but be impressed by his commitment to the cause, and being the romantic sap that I am, I forgave him and got swept up in the swoon of it all, enjoying watching him fight so hard for his girl. At the same time, I was right there with Gabriella as she battled her feelings, trying to figure out if she could trust him, and trust her heart to him again. There are so many feels, and their beautifully sweet, emotional, and steamy romance is full of intensity from start to finish.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s you and me \u2026 It\u2019s always just been you and me.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n I\u2019m sure this book will spark a divide amongst readers. Am I ok with what Romeo did? Absolutely no. But, how he handled it, his reflection of his behaviour, and his growth as a result of his actions is really well written. I loved how he involved his family in his journey, how he owned everything, and then worked so hard to be better and to prove himself to Gabriella. People make mistakes, and while his was a bad one, he is not irredeemable, and I love that we got to explore this particular storyline and watch them find their way through it.<\/p>\n As always, the extended family are involved, which is always fun, and I loved catching up with Romeo\u2019s family as they are brought into the fold. Gabriella and Romeo have a lot to figure out \u2013 both individually and together, and I loved watching them work it out and move forward to get their happy ending.<\/p>\n 4 stars.<\/p>\n An Advanced Review Copy was generously provided by the author in exchange for an honest review.<\/i><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Part of the Stone-Grant-Horton hockey dynasty – Find full series info, reading order and family tree here<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Made For Me (#1)<\/strong> (Chase & Julia) Made for You (#2) <\/strong>(Xavier & Vivienne) Made for Us (#3) <\/strong>(Tristan & Abigail) Made For Romeo (#4) <\/strong>(Romeo & Gabriella) <\/p>\n Keep up with Natasha Madison and subscribe to her newsletter https:\/\/www.natashamadisonauthor.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n To learn more about Natasha Madison and her books, visit here!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Website\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0| \u00a0Facebook<\/a>\u00a0 |\u00a0\u00a0Twitter<\/a>\u00a0 |\u00a0\u00a0Instagram<\/a>\u00a0 |\u00a0\u00a0Facebook Reader Group<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Follow on Amazon<\/a>\u00a0 |\u00a0\u00a0Follow on BookBub<\/a>\u00a0 |\u00a0\u00a0Subscribe to Newsletter<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" From Wall Street Journal and USA TODAY bestselling author Natasha Madison comes a brand new stand-alone enemies to lovers, second chance romance.

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>\nCheck out more great reads on our\u00a0Natasha Madison Author Spotlight<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n
