This is book two in this series of the Chicago Colts and it does not disappoint. Brothers best friend and add a pregnancy in there and let’s go! If you read the first book we learned that Callie was pregnant and left us wondering who was the daddy?? Well yes Foster is the one! These two are so funny because Callie is very independent and has her own hangups as does Foster who does not warm anyone’s bed more than for a wham bam. Everything gets a little complicated because Fosters best friend and teammate is Callie brother(from book 1). Again I am a lover of this duo writing powerhouse because the character they create are so down to earth and they all will have you laughing. Yes there is a HEA but you know it is never easy. Watch Foster fall ladies!!

Book 3 in the series and we have a little dark romance sprinkled with some suspense. Wylder is the oldest of the Buckinghams and the leader of The Firm. Neo is best friends with Wylder brother in law and we see Neo and Wylder interact in book 2. Neo presses Wylder buttons like no one else can and you start to see him questioning himself. This is a bit of a slow burn and for me I felt like Neo sometimes dragged things out a bit but then the story really took a turn for me . Overall the brothers are funny and the dinners and the “girlfriend” situation is hilarious.
Why you need to #ONECLICK this book…

As the eldest brother and leader of The Firm, I take my responsibilities very seriously. There’s nothing I won’t do to keep my family safe. Staying vigilant, always thinking ten steps ahead, and holding the pieces of my life together with steady hands. Control is everything, because if I loosen my grip for even a moment, the darkness I’ve buried inside will claw its way free.
Everything is stable. Predictable. Safe.
Until Neo.
He’s a distraction I can’t afford but a temptation I can’t seem to ignore. My darkness is drawn to him; it wants to be set free.
And as our enemies close in, Neo becomes the one variable I can’t control… and the one risk I find myself wanting to take. Because for the first time, surrendering to the dark doesn’t feel like weakness.
Another hit from Natasha Madison! It’s hard to choose a favorite because then she comes out with another release and another great hero! Knox uggghhh was absolutely a complete package! My heart broke for him on how wrong his wife was and couldn’t wait to see how Kylie was going to patch him up. Kylie was a boss! Her confidence and snarky attitude was the best for Knox. This is a team mates sister so it was a little complicated and also add in Knox dealing with having to trust again and the road to their HEA was a good one! The spice level was definitely spicy! This was a great read but it is Natasha so I definitely didn’t doubt that it would be a 5⭐️!
You’ll love Only for Him by Natasha Madison if you love:
Final book in this series and you will find an age gap, coach’s daughter trope. There is a 9year difference but I didn’t see a major difference. Tallulah and Flip have the same friend group and Flip plays for the Terror hockey team. Tally is in college and dealing with her parents divorce and Flip is redeeming himself and trying to change his image. She has had a crush on Flip for awhile and she is determined to let him know. Can there be a HEA or will it be complicated? Like I said Tally is young but there was a maturity to her character. I liked the banter between these two and seeing Flip in the other books I was happy to see him really caring and glad that I got to see more of his personality. Both sides have issues especially with her dad being his coach. Spice level was a 4 out of 5 .
✨Let’s celebrate! It’s release day for IF YOU KEEP ME by @helenahunting! Grab it in KU!
Things I should never, under any circumstances ever do: ask my secret crush, aka. the most notorious (reformed) playboy in pro hockey, to take my virginity.
Too bad, I did.
After a string of terrible dates, I did the unthinkable. I propositioned Flip Madden.
Of course, he said no. It isn’t that he’s almost a decade older than me and I’m still in university.
But because I’m his coach’s oldest daughter.
Not to mention my dad would bludgeon him with his hockey stick if he found out.
Which he won’t because it will never happen.
And now things are awkward because there’s no going back.
Except Flip is more protective than ever before and his eyes follow me in every room we’re in together. He brings flowers to my recitals and reads all the books I recommend.
Things I should never, under any circumstances ever do: hope Flip Madden might actually want me too.
This is a forbidden, age gap, hockey romance between a reformed bad boy & the coach’s daughter! You get dating in the public eye, grand gestures + an obsessed hero!

Hating Jameson Murphy is easy. Wanting him is where everything gets complicated.
He’s my best friend’s older brother. My father’s star player. A charmingly infuriating football god I’ve spent a lifetime avoiding and failing to ignore.
He should be the last man tempting me into bad decisions. But when a snowstorm grounds our flight, and champagne blurs our judgment, one reckless night shatters every rule I’ve put in place . . . leaving me with two little pink lines and one very big problem.
Now, thanks to an unreliable mother, a surprise baby sister, and a new living arrangement I never saw coming, my carefully crafted life is unraveling faster than the worn satin ribbon on my favorite old pointe shoes.
And Jameson?
He’s everywhere.
In my space.
In my secrets.
Looking at me like he already knows how this ends and how it doesn’t.
Forcing me to face a truth I’m not ready to accept . . .
What if surrender doesn’t mean losing yourself? What if it’s about trusting someone else? And maybe . . . just maybe, what if it means finally finding home?

Here is a quick read to start you in the holiday mood. Carter is in town for his best friends wedding and his trip is off to a bumpy start where he ends up staying at a B&B owned by the Brides sister who he left high and dry one night. Ashley is not ready to see Carter but her feelings of being embarrassed that night of their date floods her system. Weather changes lead to them having to help finalize wedding plans and spend time together. This story was short but had a lot of funny moments and lots of Santa’s lol. Second chance holiday read success.
When workaholic best man Carter arrives in Mistletoe Falls for his best friends’ Christmas wedding, a town-wide Santa Festival and a misplaced motel reservation leave him with one option—beg the woman he once rejected for a room at her bed-and-breakfast. Unfortunately, that woman also happens to be the bride’s sister…and the maid of honor.
To make matters worse, the bride and groom are delayed, turning Ashley and Carter into last-minute wedding planners, forced into a truce neither of them wants. But late-night checklists, a blizzard of holiday activities, and a charming small town turn their snark into sparks.
When they get snowed in and every near-kiss feels dangerously close to something real, Carter realizes there’s more to December than year-end deadlines.
As their truce melts, one question remains—is this a holiday fling, or the start of forever?

This is a emotional read with a slight suspense weaved in with a slow burn to keep you on your toes. Elyna is in town after trouble with her child’s father and she is back and looking to rebuild. Phoenix is the closed off, grumpy hero who gives her a place to stay and a job. There is history and heartbreak between these two and the road to HEA is not easy. These two are both stubborn but it was nice to see the Thorne family become protective of her and her son. The chemistry between these two cannot be denied. Overall great emotional read and great start in this series.
Phoenix Thorne was the last man I wanted to see when I came back to Val-Du-Lys with my son.
But fate has a cruel sense of humor.
Now I’m working in his brewery… and sleeping in the loft above his garage.
He hasn’t changed.
Sharp edges. Hard muscles. Walls no one could scale.
And he still looks at me like I’m the wildflower that cut him all those years ago.
We were enemies once.
Now we’re neighbors.
Every stolen glance, every brush of his hand pulls us closer to a line we swore we’d never cross.
Then he kisses me.
Hard. Hungry. Reckless.
The kind of kiss that burns hotter than whiskey and leaves me aching for more.
He vowed he’d never forgive me.
I swore I’d never need him.
But the past has a way of catching up. Secrets that don’t stay buried. Threats that circle too close to the people I love.
And suddenly the man I betrayed is the only one standing between me and a storm I never saw coming.
Because once Phoenix claims me… he’ll fight like hell to keep me.
