From Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and Amazon Bestselling Author Natasha Madison comes new enemies to lovers, forbidden, single mom, hockey romance.

Christopher
I came from the biggest hockey family in the NHL.
Records were set by my grandfather, my father, and now my brother.
I was taught to love the game, but more than that, I learned early the men you play with are your family.
You get on the ice every night and protect them, celebrate the wins, and pick each other up when you fall.
So when we lost Benji, I stepped in to help his wife and kids, but this pull I feel when it comes to them is something more than I can even understand.

Dakota
My life was perfect, until it wasn’t.
Gone was the husband I thought I knew and in his place was a stranger.
I saw him change before my eyes.
Then he was gone, leaving me and our girls alone.
I wanted nothing to do with anyone or anything that took him away from me.
But no matter how many times I’ve told his best friend I don’t need help.
He’s here doing things for us, and the worst part is, I want him to.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

Meant For Her has to be one of the most emotional books I’ve read by Natasha Madison to date! It is set in the Cooper/Stone hockey world but is a standalone… Christopher and Koda’s story was beautiful!

Koda tragically loses her husband, Benji, who is a drug addict, leaving her a young widow with two small girls. Christopher is Benji’s best friend and teammate, and while he tries to step in and help Koda out, she shuts him out at the beginning of the book. She’s hurt and angry that Christopher (and the rest of the team) didn’t do anything to stop Benji as he fell deeper into his addiction. Of course, that isn’t what actually happened — Koda and Benji’s marital issues ran much deeper, but it took her a while to come to terms with that and accept that Benji was solely responsible for his actions.

Despite being shut out, Christopher is there every day, sending a single text as his show of support. Eventually, Koda begins to let him in as a friend and help her out with her daughters. It’s a slow burn as Koda and Christopher rebuild their friendship and eventually fall in love. Is it too soon after Benji’s death for Koda to move on? Is Christopher wrong for falling for his dead best friend’s wife? Those questions and more are brought up as Christopher and Koda navigate their feelings for one another, and Koda navigates her new normal as a widow.

I really loved how Natasha Madison handled not only Koda’s grief but Christopher’s as well. These two characters had tons of chemistry, and the spice of this story was balanced out with its sweetness. Not just the sweetness between Christopher and Koda — showing her respect and lifting her up in ways that Benji never did — but also between Christopher and the girls, Luna and Rain.

Despite its tragic start, Meant For Her is a wonderful story of finding love after loss!

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Meet 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…
