Natasha Madison takes us back to the Made For series, (a spinoff of The Only One series and This Is series) with the third standalone romance Made For Us. This installment gives us Tristan, who appeared in book one, and Abigail’s story. This friends to lovers romance produces laughter, anger, frustration and swoon worthy moments.

Until I saw him get on the plane and my plans went out the window. Tristan's everything I've always wanted but can never have. One night was all we had together. Now, I’m staring at the two pink lines wondering if I should even tell him. I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review.

Tristan Six years ago, I was living for myself until I found out I had a two-year-old daughter. Now, I love my life exactly how it is: me, my daughter and hockey. Except—I've been in love with Abigail from afar for years. She was the only one I trusted my daughter with. One night with her is more than I deserve. Now that I've had her, I know she was made for us.
Once again, Natasha Madison delivers to her readers a heartwarming sports romance centered on her signature hockey family. The heroine, Abigail, who is from hockey royalty, recently graduated with a degree in Pediatric Nursing. She returned home to Dallas to begin her career as a pediatric nurse. Before starting her new job, she is looking forward to having fun and relaxation on her families’ annual vacation. However, she never counted on Tristan, the man whom she has been in love with for the past six years, to be on said vacation.
Tristan is a single dad and a hockey player. His attraction to Abigail slowly developed into love over the past four years. Unfortunately, he never let his feelings known out of fear and respect for her family. So for four years he watched her from the sidelines, while his heart silently broke. An invitation to the Stone’s family vacation places him in a position to reveal his true feelings. If only she would stop avoiding him. Then fate gave them the opportunity to spend a special moment together on the final night of their vacation. That special moment changed both their lives unexpectedly
Tristan was a sweetheart. From the moment of his introduction in book one, I knew he was special and eagerly awaited his story. This installment exemplified how special he was. Now, as much as I admired Abigail, her actions frustrated me. Her actions reminded me of the reason I avoid reading stories featuring accidental pregnancy trope but I picked this one up because of the author. She refused to let him know of the pregnancy and she lied to her family about the father’s identity. Tristan deserved so much better. Her reasons for not telling him were pure hogwash in my opinion, given what she knows of the man. She redeemed herself, but I believe she got off too easily thanks to Tristan’s soft heart.
The secondary characters brought depth to the story with their humor, meddling, and support.
Overall, Made for Us is an engaging story which will have readers falling in love with the characters. The story ended on a happy note while leaving readers excited for the next book in the series.

About Natasha Madison
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…

This sounds lovely. I love when there are strong secondary characters who add humor & support.
He does sound like a sweetheart. And, I’m just like you and avoid the secret baby trope for the same reasons.
I’m always happy when the secondary characters play a larger role. It makes me think they’ll get their own book down the road! I’m glad this one was enjoyable. 🙂
This sounds interesting, I’m going to look into it a bit more. I haven’t read this author yet.
If you like Corinne Michaels and K.A Linde you will more than likely enjoy her books.
