”The only thing I can think of is that if I did have a boyfriend, it wouldn’t be the guy I’ve always wanted because he doesn’t even know I exist.”
What You'll Find:
--Sports Romance
--Surprise Pregnancy
--Virgin
--Single Dad
--Dual POV
I 100% went into this for the surprise pregnancy. Yes, I love them. But I am PICKY about them. And unfortunately this one didn't quite work for me. What the heroine did, or didn't do when she found out--NOPE, didn't work for me. While this story had some sweet moments, and some great humor too.. it felt surface level, I didn't feel it, and found myself skimming to get through. Not sure the writing style is for me, but I'm glad I gave it a go. I also think not knowing the characters, jumping in to this series without reading prior books, didn't help. There were so many characters! Overall okay read for me but might be a favorite for you!

Had high hopes for this book, but it fell flat. After that one night they had which left them worse than they were already acting, the book jumps to 6 weeks later. With no improvements on their relationships. Worst of all Abigail doesn't even tell Tristan that she's pregnant with his baby until 80% of the book. Plus they don't even really get together until the end. Wanted more development on their relationship as a couple. It was actually annoying reading this book. Maybe the next one will be better.

I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
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.
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.

Story: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4.5)
Trope: accidental pregnancy
Angst: 😱😱😱
Smexy: 🔥🔥
Hands down my favorite book in the series so far! Tristan and Abigail have been mutually pining from afar for each other, but between learning how to be a dad and nursing school these two reserved people just haven't found their way to each other. Until Abigail's family's vacation that Tristan and his daughter find themselves at. Until their one night of passion results in 2 lines. Abigail makes the mistake of assuming she knows what Tristan wants and accidentally triggers all Tristan's insecurities.
Just a super sweet and emotional read that is well written and paces well. Both main characters are super endearing, if not slightly on the insecure side. I loved that it was the heroine who did the mess up and needed to grovel for a change. It's always like a welcome home reading her books and we were able to see all our favorite Natasha Madison hockey players and their families. She is always a one click author for me and this one definitely steals the show!

Keeping a pregnancy or a baby, a secret is something I absolutely despise.. Doesn't matter how good the book is, it just overshadows everything else and completely spoils the whole thing..

I absolutely loved Tristan and Abigail's story. Though I wished they would actually communicate! But other than that, I loved every second of their story. I especially loved Abigail and Penelope, Tristan's daughter's relationship. They're the sweetest and Tristan saw the love between them and it just makes him love Abigail more. These two pined for each other for years and when they finally (finally!) be together it's like the best thing to ever happened. I highly, highly recommend their story. If you've read the series, then rush to read this one.

DNF @ 50%
I couldn’t buy it. The h is a registered pediatric nurse and has unprotected s*x for the first time with the H? No wonder she got pregnant. The H already has a daughter from a one night stand but he missed two years of the child’s life so feels guilty.
Honestly, the whole premise was kind of silly. Both MCs secretly lust after each other but neither of them will say anything to each other. They get together for one night and she gets pregnant. Honestly, I think if the h would’ve been younger and naive, I could’ve bought into the surprise pregnancy.
Anyway, I didn’t enjoy this so I’m just going to put a pin on this.

Creo que desde que salió la portada de este libro fue el que más me llamo la atención y ni modo, ya había leído la sinopsis y realmente no me llamaba la atención leerlo por eso decidí empezar la serie en el orden que más quisiera que es una ventaja de las series de Natasha.
Hablemos de la historia.
La misma sinopsis lo menciona es un embarazo sorpresa no hay pierde incluso menciona cuando sucede una de las cosas buenas del libro es que no entra directamente a la parte donde se da cuenta que esta embarazada sino que te muestra la historia desde el momento de su graduación hasta la noche en que estuvieron juntos. El libro es un dual POV por lo tanto puedes ver cada suceso hasta esa noche desde el punto de vista de ambos y esto solo es la primera parte donde yo estaba viviendo mi mejor vida y pensé va por buen camino que puede salir mal, la respuesta son muchas cosas y es que después de esa noche ambos vuelven y hacen como si no hubiera pasado nada, para esto el tiempo en que ella descubre que esta embarazada son como trece semanas después. Hay un punto donde todo se arregla claro pero fue complicado para mi perdonar a Abigail se que esto también se puede adjuntar a su edad e incluso justificar pero me dolió tanto por Tristán, y siendo sinceros Tristán y Penélope cargan todo el libro sus interacciones son de los más preciosas sino me equivoco es la primera vez que Natasha tiene un padre soltero con una sola niña (antes de que me ahorquen se que Cooper tiene dos pero es una cosa totalmente diferente) y lo disfrute tanto como sus interacciones entre ambos como Penélope es con las demás personas incluso amo que Matthew se bautizara desde un principio como Tío Matthew y que ah partir de ahí todos quisieran hacerlo, quiero mucho a Penélope.
Lo que me gusto.
Siempre lo eh dicho y lo diré las interacciones familiares lo son todo el los libros de Natasha como cada familiar esta tan involucrado en la vida del otro incluso estando a kilómetros de distancia en esta familia todo se sabe porque se sabe, y aunque suene a que puede ser enfadoso la verdad es que es las cosas más divertidas sobre todo Matthew y Max amo a este par y siendo sincera no me gusta pensar mucho en la edad de los personajes porque a medida que pasa el tiempo ellas también lo hacen entonces lo siento Natasha pero en mi mente ellos son inmortales.
La relación de Penélope Abigail y Tristán antes mencione la relación padre eh hija que tienen pero se nota desde el principio como siempre se incluye a Abigail en las escenas de ello y esto me sorprendió mucho porque siendo sobrina de Matthew pensé que al primer momento de que estuvieran juntos o cerca antes de ser pareja este los separaría pero no, sospechoso. No la verdad es que encajan bastante bien y algo que agradecí porque me salte el primer libro es que te explican porque el cariño de ambas no es que nada mas Penélope la quiera o Abigail es algo complemente reciproco.
Que Penélope practique y juegue Hockey esta fue una de las sorpresas que más ame, que coleccione los discos y el dialogo que tiene con Matthew
“You did good,” she praises me, making me laugh as I nod. “Uncle Matthew said you could have scored at least four times if you shot the puck.”
La amistas de Tristán Chase y Xavier, de verdad es divertida hay una escena en concreto que de verdad yo estaba riendo porque literal de dijo no digas nada y Xavier no dijo nada pero se puede leer como entro en conflicto fue tan divertido de leer.
“Okay.” I take a deep exhale. “I don’t know how to say this, so I think I’m just going to come right out and say it.” He just waits for me. “I’m the father of Abigail’s baby,” I say the words out loud and watch his face. It goes from worry to confusion and then to shock, followed by a loud gasp. His hand flies to the top of his head before he jumps up. “Why would you tell me this?” he shrieks. “Oh my God, how could you tell me this?”
...
“You need to leave now and go and bare your truth so I can bear mine.” He grabs the shirt I just took off and tosses it to me. “Like right now.” He then grabs my keys and phone and holds them out for me. “The sooner, the better.” “Are you serious?” I ask, putting on the shirt. “I have never been more serious in my life,” he assures me, his chest rising and falling. “It’s ten o’clock.” He looks at his Apple Watch. “Get on the plane in an hour, that’s eleven, get to New York in, what… three hours, if you tell the pilot to gun it.” I roll my lips. “So sitting down with Justin at four his time. I can tell Vivienne at three thirty our time.” He puts his hand on his head. “This is huge.”
Los momentos con Chase son menores pero de verdad que los ame y lo mejor es que se sienten tan natural y cómodos como si siempre hubieras sido familia.
Lo que no me gusto
Y aquí entran spoilers
Me rompió el corazón cuando Tristán se entero que el bebé que Abigail esperaba era suyo.
Es un libro que los disfrutas tanto que tu sabes cuando estas apunto de llegar al final y que incluso lees más lento para que pueda durar un poco más el libro. Lo quiero mucho y es de mis favoritos de este año. <3

I love an accidental baby trope but I LOATHE an accidental baby trope with a FMC who purposely doesn’t tell the MMC about the baby, especially if the reasoning is decidedly weak which was definitely the case with this story.

Tristan is the king of all book boyfriends. Gosh I loved this man! He was the sweetest, most caring and loyal book boyfriend you can get and sexy as hell. This is what a hero should be. A single dad with a cute daughter. He was so good with her! 💖
”My bachelor pad was now a single dad home. The PlayStation 5 was tucked away and in its place was a pink plastic play kitchen.”
”When she turned five and started school, she asked me to braid her hair one day, and I had no idea how. She looked so sad it broke me, so I hired someone to come and teach me.”
Tristan and Abigail loved each other from afar without knowing each others feelings and thinking the other one didn’t reciprocate.
”The only thing I can think of is that if I did have a boyfriend, it wouldn’t be the guy I’ve always wanted because he doesn’t even know I exist.”
But Tristan was one loyal hero and was all for his Abigail.
”She throws her head back and laughs, and I swear it’s like music to my ears. It’s the best sound I think I’ve ever heard after “I love you, Daddy.”
I found this book the best in this series so far. It had a hero just as I like them in my romance books. Abigail was a sweetheart but made a misjudgment which caused me to like her less than Tristan, although she did grovel. Hence not the full 5 star review, alone for Tristan 6 billion stars!! 🤩🥰 There were a lot of emotions involved and I liked that they were out in the open and spoken about in true honesty. This gave dimension to the storyline and it wasn’t dragged until the end of the book. I appreciate the author took this turn with the story. The story had a good pace and the sex scenes didn’t overshadow the main storyline. I liked the characters and the fact uncle Max and uncle Matthew made their appearance. A small one this time, I would’ve enjoyed more on page M&M, hopefully in the next book! Enjoyed this book and very much recommend it.
”I’ve been in love with you since you walked into the hospital room to meet Penelope. Every single time I saw you, my love grew for you, watching you become the father you are.” ~ Abigail
”That day is etched in my mind forever. Walking in and seeing Penelope in Abigail’s arms is something I will remember until my last breath.” ~ Tristan

Another amazing book in the series! I've been waiting for Abigail and Tristan's story since we saw them in Made for Me.
I love these two. Now I wasn't a huge fan of Abigail not being completely honest with Tristan. I was sad that Tristan initially felt the way he did because it wasn't necessary. All they needed to do was have a conversation.
However, I was glad that once they did it was great. I absolutely LOVED when they flew to NY to tell Justin and Caroline. And then having everyone else show up was just perfection, lol.

Eek the whole gang shows up for this book and I LOVED IT! Are there ever series that suck you and and never let you go? That is how I feel about Natasha Madison’s hockey books. They represent family, allegiance, and goodness in the most beautiful of ways. This book is a wonderful addition, giving more details into a beloved world.
Tristian and Abby have been playing this crazy dance of attraction and interest for years. Both are letting insecurities interfere. Grr. Plan to want to smack them both at times. Hee Hee.
Tristian as a single dad is wonderful. Swoon. Abby’s love and devotion to his daughter is priceless and so sweet. I have to remind myself how awesome they both are when they are being ridiculous. Did I mention insecurities earlier? It bears repeating. Read on… you will see.
I love this book even when I disagree with some choices that were made. I understood but I didn’t like it.
Lastly, you won’t be disappointed when this author brings on the sexy. Yum. It is romance after all… What do you expect ?! Wink.
Happy Reading Everyone! XOXO

I love the hockey books from Natasha Madison that I've read so far so I was excited about this new book. Abigail has worked hard for her career and is about to graduate. Tristan is a single Dad and a star hockey player. There are unspoken mutual feelings but both are afraid to act on them.
Tristan is the perfect book boyfriend. Sweet and kind to Abigail. A great Dad to Penelope. But then sexy at all the right times.
I loved Abigail's twin sister, Gabriella and am excited that her book will be next. The banter between the sisters left me laughing and wanting more. And the text threads in Natasha's books never disappoint!

I love this family and hpw much the extended family is part of every book.
Abby and Tristan are cute, both pining for the other without doing much about it and are too scared to be hurt. That fear of hurt is what comes between them too.
Another great addition in the Stone/Grant-universe!
(I was kinda mad at Abby there tho, you’ll know)

Abby and Tristan are cute, both pining for the other without doing much about it and are too scared to be hurt. That fear of hurt is what comes between them too.
Another great addition in the Stone/Grant-universe!

Cute fast read 🫶🏼
Loved the 2 MCs just felt we didn’t get an in-depth into them as couple, individually we saw their backstory / foundation. But together don’t feel there was much.
T was very in touch with his emotions which was refreshing, A was warm loving to everyone and I love her interactions with Penelope.
What miffed me as well the MC would drop a comment or revelation and then run off 😓 I need communication in books, the miscommunication just gets me 😅

Ladies I can't wait for you all to read this amazing book. Natasha Madison gives us all the feels in her books always and she doesn't let us down now.
We met Tristan is the first book and we also know Abigail.
My Heart goes out to this wonderful man who became a father so unexpectedly to a two year old, but boy does he step up to the plate. He is such an amazing father to his little girl. The way he has always put her first and will move heaven and earth for her is just Awe Inspiring.
When Abigail becomes the new addition the story just gets better. You won't want to put the book down.
There are so many moments I giggled like a school girl and also my heart did break for their circumstances.
I understand both of their fears and anger.
Through the family and you know lol many many times which I did.
This boom is fantastic and so are the characters. Pre order so you don't miss out on this amazing series.

Didn’t really care for this one.
I hate when authors write stupid characters.
1. You have sex without a condom. A month+ later you find out the woman is pregnant and your first thought is that it’s someone else’s??
2. Said hero already has a daughter from a ONS with a puck bunny. The woman died apparently and he found out he was a dad (off page). Didn’t remember the woman or her name.
3. The heroine gets pregnant and doesn’t tell the father. He finds out from his fellow teammates (her cousins/brother).
I liked the hero’s daughter and the heroines twin sister was sorta entertaining. And of course the many many cameos of characters from previous books.

I was so excited for this book, but it kinda feel flat for me. I listen to this book in audio and I struggled with the narration. This is a friends to lover but the way some of the interactions happen they are more just acquaintances.

The third book in the Made For series, and we’re back with one of my favourite fictional families – the Stone/Grant/Horton crew – for an emotional friends-to-lovers, single dad romance.
Like most of the books in series, this book can be read as a standalone, however be aware of lots of side character crossover and close family ties that have been established over many books and different series by this author. Those moments add a lot for long-time fans, but you could still enjoy the story if you’re a newbie.
Abigail fits into the Stone family as the daughter of Justin. She’s just graduated as a pediatric nurse and is moving to Dallas to be near her family and to take up a job at the hospital where she used to volunteer. It’s while volunteering there that she met Tristan and his daughter, Penelope. Tristan is an NFL player on the same team as her brother and cousins, and she was there when he learned that he had a two year old daughter, in fact she was the one at little Penelope’s bedside, caring for the two-year-old after she was in an accident that killed her mother. Since then, Tristan has become a devoted father, and Abigail has become an important part of his and Penelope lives, visiting whenever she’s in town. Six years after they first met, they have both fallen deeply in love with the other, but neither of them have even so much at hinted at feeling anything more than friendship. Now they’re living in the same city, and with Tristan and Penelope having been adopted into the wider family group, they’re about to be spending a whole lot of time together. Especially with the annual family holiday coming up, and Tristan is invited along.
It's a gorgeous set-up and full of feels from the very beginning as we get to see the depth of feelings that these two have for each other. But for some reason they have insecurities and they’re keeping their distance. I never really did understand why, when it’s so obvious how they feel about each other. And when all of that sexual tension gets the best of them one night on their holiday, they finally get to explore their chemistry in all of the ways, and they are so damn hot together!
But rather than deal with the elephant in the room at that point, they don’t, and they plan to just move on from it until Abigail discovers that she’s pregnant from their night together. Things only get more angsty and emotional from there, and God, I was annoyed at Abigail. But Tristan comes in with the feels, and that’s when the emotion really hits, and wow, it’s intense. Oh, how that man made me feel! My heart ached, and the whole situation is just a mess. But when you hit rock bottom, you can only go up, and I absolutely loved how Abigail and Tristan handled themselves once they finally got on the same page. They both put in the effort, there is relationship progression, and it’s so easy, and so natural, and so, so beautiful! They’re so gorgeous with each other, and it’s sexy and sweet and all the thing I wanted for them, it just took them a while to get there!
The rest of the family are heavily involved in everything, and made me laugh so many times at their outspoken antics. I love these characters so much, and together they absolutely shine. Matthew is on point as always, and little Penelope is a gorgeous addition to the story.
This is a really sweet read. Tristan stole my heart, and I loved the feels in this one! But it’s angsty, and all of that angst could have been avoided if they just talked to each other, which is always a source of frustration for me – though others thrive on it, so it’s just my personal preference. I loved the romance, and loved the ending to the story and the family that they made together.
I’m so excited for Abigail’s twin sister, Gabrielle’s book up next!

Penelope gasps. “Is that your baby?” She points at Abigail’s stomach, and I just nod my head. “You guys had sex.”
“Um…” Abigail says, her eyes going big as she looks at me, but I’m too shocked to even think about anything except what she just said.

4.5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫
Tristan and Abigail have been pining for each other for years. They have a close relationship and friendship and are connected through hockey, her family, and her relationship with his daughter. When Tristan found out that he had a two-year-old daughter six years ago, Abigail was her nurse and the two had bonded. Watching the two together over the years has made him fall in love with Abigail. Abigail has fallen in love watching him learn to be a dad and be the person he is. Fear and self-doubt have the pair hiding their feelings. When Tristan and his daughter join Abigail’s family on their annual vacation fate keeps throwing them together. On the final night of the trip, the two spend the night together. After the trip Tristan and his daughter spend the rest of the summer at his lakehouse. When he returns he learns that Abigail is pregnant.
Tristan is perfect! He’s a devoted dad to Penelope and respectful to Abigail and her family. Abigail’s connection and devotion to Penelope are beautiful. Abigail is sweet and such a likable character but makes some choices that left me frustrated. I understand the fear of rejection, we’ve all been there, but she’s witnessed what he went through with Penelope.
Lack of communication is a huge theme throughout the book and leads to tension that left me turning those pages and internally yelling in frustration. I was there for it all! This book is emotional and frustrating, but oh so sweet! There are lots of laughs and sweet moments that left me swooning.
This is an engaging story and Tristan is definitely book boyfriend material, and his daughter, Penelope, steals the show with her smart and sassy ways.
This book is full of meddling and supportive side characters. This is the third book in the Made For series, a spin-off from The Only Series and This is Series. It can be read as a standalone. There are a lot of recurring characters, which can be confusing to keep straight if you’ve not read any of the prior books.

Sheer Perfection as Always!!!
This book is amazing! It will tear at your heartstrings and leave you smiling from ear to ear. This story is so beautiful and you’ll love these characters just as much as all the other intertwined families/series that Natasha has written. These families and their children will leave lasting imprints in your heart!!
Tristan has embraced being a single dad and loves his daughter Penelope more thank anything! He never knew she existed and now that she is here he won’t ever let her go!! She is his whole world but he has been in love with Abigail Stone for years but he’s never gotten the nerve to tell her how he feels. When she invites them in their family vacation he’s hesitant to say yes because being near her and watching her love his daughter is too much for him not to want to claim her for forever!!
Abigail has yearned for Tristan and now that they are in the same city and she’s so smitten by Penelope she’s not sure what to do. While on vacation they finally give into their primal desires and it’s explosive!! The only problem is that they both get stuck in their own heads and communicate is lost and fumbled which screws everything up!!
Abigail is keeping a secret from Tristan and she knows she has to come clean because everyone in her family/friends know and sooner than later he will too. She doesn’t know how he’ll take it and she doesn’t want him to do something he doesn’t want to do.
Watching these two pine for each other is quite the experience. They both want the same thing but are too scared to admit out loud. Their love story is beautiful and we love these families form all Madison’s other series so having them all come together for this epic journey is absolutely amazing. You will devour every minute of Abigail and Tristan’s whirlwind romance and will eat up all their passion, devotion, and love for each other and Penelope!! You will fall hard for these amazing characters. Happy Reading!!!

I officially declare myself a fan of Natasha Madison, without a doubt this series became one of my favorites and it's not just because it's about hockey but ‘cause of how wonderful she writes and how everything connects beautifully.
Abigail and Tristan have my heart since Made for Me, reading their story was the best thing that could have happened to me. The feelings, the friends to lovers and seeing little Penelope be happy as she deserves makes this book very special for me. Me, although I read the others in their audio version, I feel that having read this one in a traditional way and early made me want to know a lot more about the whole family, so don't be surprised if I only read Natasha from now on 💖
I cried, I laughed, I fell in love once again with the whole family, but without a doubt Tristan became my favorite, Abigail my girl, I understand why she did what she did but I like how mature everything was, I felt like a proud mom.
A very good read, full of family scenes and a little girl who steals your heart; now I want to read Gabriella's story, but I guess I need to wait! 🥺🫂
🫂thank you Natasha Madison and Wildfire Marketing Solutions for gave me this arc in exchange for my honest review 📚!!

Me declaro oficialmente fan de Natasha Madison, sin duda alguna esta serie se convirtió en una de mis favoritas y no es solo porque es sobre hockey si no por lo maravilloso que escribe y como todo se conecta hermosamente.
Abigail y Tristan tienen mi corazón desde Made for Me, leer su historia fue lo mejor que me pudo pasar, los sentimientos, el friends to lovers y ver a la pequeña Penelope ser feliz como ella se lo merece hace que este libro sea muy especial para mi, si bien los otros me los leí en su versión de audio siento que haberme leído este de manera tradicional y de una manera anticipada me hizo querer saber muchísimo mas sobre toda la familia, así que no se extrañen si solo leo a Natasha de ahora en adelante 💖
Llore, reí, me enamore una vez más de toda la familia, pero sin duda alguna Tristan se convirtió en mi favorito, Abigail igual, mi niña entiendo porque hizo lo que hizo pero me gusta lo maduro que fue todo, me sentí mamá orgullosa.
Una lectura muy buena, llena de escenas familiares y una niña que te roba el corazón; ya quiero leer la historia de Gabriella pero me tocará esperar 🫂🥺

Grab. Your. Tissues!!!! When I tell you I cried at least 17 times, I am not exaggerating. Maybe I am just super emotional but man these three got me!!! Abigail is the daughter of Justin Stone and the granddaughter of THE Cooper Stone. Tristan we met in book 1 of the series where he discovers he has a daughter Penelope. Abigail winds up being the person to sit with Penelope in the hospital and is there the day Tristan meets her for the first time. That was the first time they all pulled on my heart strings. You can tell right off the bat that Tristan is amazing dad to Penelope and they have such a strong bond. Tristan and Abigail both have had feelings for each other for a while and they both kept them under wraps. Tristan because he felt Abigail was way out his league and Abigail because she thought he didn't feel the same.
Then they wind up on the Stone Family Vacation together. Tristan tries to keep his distance because he finds it hard to control his feelings when she is around but his adorable daughter Penelope is in love with Abigail too and keeps inviting her to do things together. Tristan sees how she nevers tells Penelope no and is always genuinely excited to spend time with her. At the end of the trip they spend an incredible night together that winds up with her getting pregnant. I understand Abigail's fears and why she did what she did but my heart broke for Tristan. They both have these big fears that are getting in the way of what could be so incredible. Abigail more than makes it up to him and their announcement was so cute.
Throughout the whole story you get to see all your favorites from the series and I just can't get enough of them. From M&M to the 2nd generation of boys and their antics to the family group text messages. This family loves hard and protects what is theres at all costs and it is evident throughout this story. Natasha also does a great job of teasing Gabriella's story which is next and I am personally dying to get a hold of. Made For Us was another great addition to the series and made me fall even harder for this family.

Now that she's finished with grad school, Abigail Stone is excited to move to Dallas and begin her career as a pediatric nurse at the hospital where she used to volunteer. It's the same hospital where she met professional hockey player Tristan Weise and his daughter Penelope six years ago. She's had a soft spot for the little girl ever since, not to mention a secret crush on her father. The truth is that Tristan returns Abigail's feelings, but he believes that he's not good enough for her. Besides, as the sister of one of his teammates, she's off limits. The sparks between them finally ignite one moonlit evening while they're on vacation with Abigail's extended family, and six weeks later, she realizes that their time together has had unexpected consequences. Believing that Tristan regrets what happened between them, Abigail decides not to tell him about the baby, but how long will she be able to keep her secret?
I've really enjoyed most of the books I've read by this author, but unfortunately, this one was a bad match for me. After everything Tristan went through with his daughter Penelope and only finding out about her when she was two years old, I couldn't believe that Abigail would even consider keeping the news about their baby from him. She knew how much it hurt him to have missed all of Penelope's firsts, as well as what a wonderful father he'd become. When Tristan did find out about the baby, I thought he let Abigail off the hook way too easily. Bottom line, Tristan was a great guy who deserved so much better than the way Abigail treated him, and it was really tough for me to believe that she ever loved him based on her behavior over the course of the story.
Because of my frustrations with Abigail, it's tough for me to recommend this book. However, I know there are many readers who will love the story, and Tristan is certainly a worthy hero. Hopefully I will have better luck with the next book in the series.

4.5⭐
Made for Us returns readers to the world of the Stone/Grant Hockey dynasty for Abigail and Tristan's story.
And for me, it's the one I've been eagerly anticipating. As ever since Tristan learned he was a father in Made for Me I have wanted to read his story and honestly it didn't disappoint.
As Tristan is a devoted dad to his daughter Penelope and is well liked by the entire Stone and Grant families, particularly Abigail who has secretly been in love with him ever since she laid eyes on him and vice versa.
Yet, for reasons that become apparent as this story develops the two are very reluctant to admit their feelings.
However, they do give in to them briefly, during the last night of the annual Stone/Grant family vacation. But thanks to miscommunication the pair part before they can discuss what happened.
And when Tristan and Penelope return from Canada six weeks later. Tristan is devastated to learn Abigail is pregnant. So he goes out of his way to avoid her assuming she has met and fallen in love with someone else.
Then he learns the truth.
But with so much at stake and with Abigail's entire family feeling like they have a say in what happens next. Can the pair finally admit what they truly feel?
And with plenty of sweetness, heat and emotion. This really was a fantastic read. That I genuinely struggled to put down and I would happily recommend it to others.
My thanks to Wildfire Marketing Solutions for the opportunity to read an early copy of Made for Us. 😊

Made For Us by Natasha Madison is part of her Made For series and gives us Tristan and Abigail’s story. Though this can be read as a standalone, if you have been reading the series, we have met both before and I could not wait to get their romance. A few years ago, Tristan found out he had daughter and she became his whole life. Abigail seemed like an unattainable dream for him. He was so strong and determined, but sometimes found himself questioning his options. Abigail has followed her career dreams and is ready to start her dream job. She never thought Tristan and Penelope, his daughter, were an option for her.
Then when on vacation, they share an unforgettable night with long lasting repercussions. Abigail loves Tristan but does not want to become an obligation in his life. Tristan loves Abigail, but feels he is not what she needs. I wish these two would have sat down and just talked to each other sooner, but it took them a minute to be able to trust in the other. Their chemistry and connection was undeniable and once they were all in, they were all in. An angsty and charming story.
Happy reading!

Made for Us (ARC review)
This was such a beautiful and light read. I enjoyed this book so much. The writing of Natasha is so relaxing and enjoyable. Abigail and Tristan were everything. From the mutual secret pining to the steamy intimate moments to the freaking incredible love confessions. I was hooked. The best tropes also are in this book so that was a huge thing for me. Abigail is such a sweet woman, caring, supportive and understanding. She is also a woman that has her doubts and fears and I loved seeing them in the book cause that made her realistic. Tristan was THE MAN. Hockey men just do it so much better in my opinion. That man with his soft heart, caring and thoughtful made me fall in love with him. He was the best father to his daughter and Penelope adored him so much. Their bond was so special to me. I loved the emotional part of the book and I appreciated the communication between the main characters, it showed their maturity, understanding and respect they had between them. The relationship Abigail had with Penelope was also so precious, she loved that little girl as if she was her own. I also understand Abigail's decision to keep her secret just as I completely understand Tristan's reaction when he found out. These two navigating through their pregnancy and seeing them fall in love all over again with eachother was beautiful. Their moments were beautiful.
