Rate this book
From Wall Street Journal and USA TODAY bestselling author Natasha Madison comes a brand new hockey romance.

Kylie
I learned early in life that love isn't just given, it's earned.
Now I've decided love isn't worth it.
At least that type of love.
Until him.
He was broken.
It was safe.
But then I went and did the unexpected.
I fell in love with him, knowing he would never love me back.

Knox
I thought I had it all.
I was playing hockey in the NHL.
Three beautiful kids and a wife who loved me.
Until I walked in on her in bed with my brother-in-law.
Everything I thought I had was a lie.
She was everything I thought I didn't want, and when I least expected it.
I just hope when I finally figure it out, I haven't lost her for good.

ARC review ⬇️

Whewww this book started out wild.

Knox is a professional hockey player. One morning he got out of practice early, came home & walked in on his wife sleeping with his brother in law…. Needless to say that was over REALLL FAST 😅

Few months later night Knox went to a dinner with his best friend and a chick walks up to him and starts introducing herself and His exact words were “Listen," I hold up my hand. "You're wasting your time trying to do whatever it is you are trying to do. I'm not interested in anyone sucking my d**k tonight.” I exhale and ignore the way her face seems to go white… Like OKKK Knox 😳 needless to say later on that evening he found out it was his best friend/team mate sister…
Kylie gave him hell from then on & let me tell you she will have you laughing throughout the book!

Kylie is Knox team mate sister & she’s freaking funny, very closed off, amazing personality, A very strong willed woman & doesn’t believe in love nor does she date. Can Knox change that for her?

He won a retreat and let me tell you. It will have you laughing🤣☠️



Tropes:
•Hockey Romance
•Single Dad
•Opposite attract
•She is secretly rich rich

Thank you Natasha Madison & the Author Agency for the ARC & ALC, all opinions are my own.

Kylie & Knox 🥹 these two were just SO perfect for each other!

They just LOVED to push one another, and their banter was so fun from the start.

I loved how as soon as he was in, Knox was ALL in. I appreciated Kylie’s backstory & her hesitation, even though she couldn’t fight their chemistry.

Knox’s kids were so sweet! I loved how they treated Kylie with so much kindness from the start, and how quickly she bonded with them.

Ughh Knox’s family 😡
I wanted to punch them all 🤣 how they sided with the cheaters is just something I can’t understand, but I know it does happen in real life somehow!

my tiny hesitation on being 5⭐️ is just that in some moments, Knox was just TOO much of an asshole to Kylie, & then a bit too pushy, in my opinion 🙃

🎧 in dual narration, Rose Dioro & Gregory Salinas brought both Kylie & Knox to life perfectly!

Only for Him

Hockey Romance
Single Dad
Frenemies to Lovers
Teammate’s Sister
Opposites Attract
Sworn Off Love


Natasha cranked up the heat with this one, this frienemies to lovers was HOT! The chemistry between Know and Kylie was insane and I could not get enough of these two.

After walking in on his wife in bed with his brother-in-law, trusting does not come easy for Knox. Kylie brings her own insecurities to the table. Watching these two dance around the risk, learning to be vulnerable, and falling in love was the absolute BEST!

If you are looking for a hockey romance that checks all the boxes, Only for Him is for you!

Gregory Salinas and Rose Dioro were the perfect pair for this audiobook! Their voices were so easy and fun to listen to. I highly recommend this one on audio.

good.

so. freaking. good.

I thought Ariella and Jaxon would always be my favourite characters in this series, but I was wrong. These two are turning everything inside me upside down.

It's a pretty steamy, passionate story. I feel like there was never a break when we talked about these two; it was a back-and-forth throughout the whole book. I loved it, such an exquisite story.

Hockey romance + single dad + banter that bites?? Say less. 🏒🔥

Only for Him by Natasha Madison delivered exactly what I want from this series: passionate characters, emotional stakes, and chemistry that practically jumps off the page. Knox is a hockey star and single dad still reeling from a brutal betrayal, and I loved watching him slowly open his heart again. There’s just something about a protective, devoted dad hero that gets me every time.

Kylie is an absolute spitfire, she’s snarky, confident, and more than capable of holding her own against Knox’s stubborn streak. Their frenemies with benefits energy created the best push and pull, and once these two finally stop fighting it…they’re all in. Add in the teammate’s sister tension and plenty of spice, and this one was such a fun, emotional sports romance.

If you love hockey romance with banter, stubborn characters, and a hero who falls hard once he finally admits it…this one’s for you. 🏒✨

1. Knox was a crude, nasty a$$hole and Kylie was a spineless doormat who took the crap he dished out because she had the worst case of BBS I’ve ever seen. 🙄
2. A man who had just suffered a concussion as serious as the one Knox did would not be able to go home and have strenuous $ex. 🙄
3. I’m sorry but the motives of too many of the characters just made no sense to me.
a) Knox’s sister blaming Knox for Jeremy’s cheating instead of blaming Jeremy.
b) Knox’s mother taking Josephine’s side instead of her own son’s.
c) Kylie deciding that “all love comes with strings” just because her stepfather was like that, despite the fact that she had loving relationships with her mother, her brother and tons of close friends.

3.5 stars

A spicy enemies-to-lovers, brother’s-best-friend hockey romance, this is a steamy read with plenty of emotion and a swoony love story, and I enjoyed this one.

This is the third book in the Only For series, part of Natasha Madison’s hockey dynasty. There is some character crossover from earlier books and mentions of the wider group, but this book can absolutely be read as a standalone.

Knox is a hockey player whose world is upended when he discovers his wife cheating on him, leaving him a single dad of three. A snarky run-in with a woman in a bar turns awkward when he discovers that she is actually the younger sister of his teammate and one of his best friends. Kylie is seriously unimpressed when she first meets Knox, and being the bold and confident young woman she is, she has no problem letting him know it. But during repeated run-ins, the chemistry between them cannot be denied and their bickering quickly turns into blistering hate sex.

Though they have no intention of a repeat performance, they keep falling back together, constantly snarking at each other the whole time. It’s entertaining and seriously steamy, and I enjoyed their fight/flirting. All of that animosity is channelled into sexy times, but soon everything starts to change.

These two have some emotional scars and a bit to work through on their way to a happy relationship, but we do get to see lots of time with them together, all loved up and happy.

Knox is such a great character – straight up and no-nonsense, just how I like my romantic heroes! He’s an alpha “mine” type of guy, which is always entertaining. It took me a bit to warm to Kylie, but I enjoyed her journey and loved seeing her embrace Knox and his kids so openly.

The writing is a bit repetitive, and I did zone out occasionally, but it’s definitely entertaining and a fun read.

3.5 stars.

I listened to this as an audiobook, narrated by Gregory Salinas and Rose Dioro, and they do a good job. Definitely an easy one to listen to.

Thank you so much to Natasha for the eARC and ALC

After walking in on his wife in bed with another man, Knox has to completely change his life with his kids. Not wanting any other distractions in his life, he has sworn off any relationships. He and Kylie had a not-so meet cute, and it becomes a running joke throughout their story.

I loved Knox and Kylie's story SO MUCH. I could not stop listening. I think it might be my favorite of the series so far. Their will they/won't they until they finally give in was so good! Natasha brought the tension and heat with them and I was here for it! I love the relationship they form, but also the relationship that Kylie forms with his children. It was so sweet seeing her realize she is more than her past and open up to not only Knox, but his family too.

🎧 The narration by Greg Salinas and Rose Dioro was phenomenal! They were perfect at bringing both of these chatcters to life.

Only for Him by Natasha Madison eARC & ALC Review 💛

I knew that Knox and Kylie’s story was going to put me through it and wow, did it ever. Natasha broke my heart and mended it with this book.

Heartbreak and healing. This book is so incredibly special. Knox and Kylie meet each other at the point in their lives when the last thing they are looking for is love, but that is exactly what the two of them truly need. The banter is incredible, their tension is off the charts and they emotionally complete each other in a once in a lifetime way.

Gregory Salinas & Rose Dioro did an amazing job with the narration and made the story even more enjoyable to listen to.

What to expect:
Hockey romance
Sworn off relationships
Single dad
Emotional scars
Opposites attract
Frenemies with benefits
Teammates sister

Thank you so much Natasha for the arc & the alc!

This is the third book in this awesome series, and this is Kylie and Knox’s story.
Knox is an NHL player, who thought he had it all, a wife, and 3 beautiful children, until he caught his now ex-wife cheating with his brother-in-law, while Kylie is his teammates sister. Kylie is sassy and strong, and Knox is now a single dad, jaded and grumpy, and neither are looking for love, and they have a hilarious first meeting.
This is a well written easy to read story, with family, friendships, emotions, betrayal, challenges, opposites attract, enemies / lovers, humour, witty banter, undeniable chemistry, and love, which leads to an entertaining, and unpredictable, sports romance.
I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.

🎧 dual

Knox and Kylie were so hott! From their not so friendly meet cute, to their first hook-up, to developing feelings during their friends with benefits situation kept me engaged. They were two opposites that complimented each other. The flirty banter was absolutely delicious. They both had some past hurt and healing they work working through, which made the journey to the HEA feel genuine.

Knox was such a great dad to his kids and Kylie's growing relationship with them was so sweet. Her birthday celebration had me tearing up.

Knox's family reaction to his ex cheating was absolutely diabolical. Not just for him but for his sister too 💀

The audiobook is dual narrated by Gregory Salinas and Rose Disorio. They were great and made the listening experience enjoyable.

Thanks to Authors Agency for ALC.

idk what natasha is putting in this series but i’m here for it!! i loved kylie and knox. their banter is fabulous. kylie literally made me laugh so hard.

they each are dealing with their own stuff. kylie’s guarded because she’s grown up believing love is conditional and knox walked in on his wife having an affair.

i really loved all the small moments between knox and kylie. you slowly see them both open up and let their walls down and they’re just perfect. their chemistry was off the charts

thank you natasha madison and the author agency for the arc 💛

Only For Him

5 stars
MY MAN & HIS WOMAN ARE OUT IN THE WORLD!!
KNOX & KYLIE ARE SMOKING HOT.

ooofffff course Natasha left us on a cliff hanger at the end of book 2 in The Only For series. When we start book 3- we find out juuuusstt what Knox was calling about... and let's just say- SHOCKED. SHOOKITH. LIKE WHAT?! This book truly does have it all. It has the banter, it has the spice.. the funniest FMC. the best girl group ever.. & it has the emotional parts we all love from a Natasha Madison book.

I was so impressed with the ALC that I was gifted from the team. The two narrators hit it out of the park and I really enjoyed my re-listen after my alpha read for this one. I think I loved them more the second time!
Thank you to Nat & the Author Agency allowing me to love these two the way the deserve to be loved!

ARC/ALC Review

A couple of “housekeeping” issues I have with this story …

✔️ The situation between Knox and his family, especially his sister, was … *blink* I’m not sure what disappointed me more, the fact that it wasn’t fleshed out even though it had a huge impact on Knox or that it was even part of the storyline as much as it was. What happened to Knox is a huge act of betrayal on all kinds of fronts, from the mother of his children to his parents and his sister. As soon as all those betrayals came to light, the story lost a huge amount of joy for me and Knox’s personality did not help at all in bringing that joy back.

✔️ Let’s talk about the mother of his children … why? That’s truly all I have. Who wrote her character? She comes back after her betrayal and propositions an “open” relationship. What? She just kept coming back … make it make sense.

✔️ A few thoughts about Knox. Look, I know the man has been dealt a bad hand, but his many, many “fly of the handle” moments were a lot to swallow, and Kylie just turned the other cheek way too many times. Overall though, he was a really fantastic character and so was Kylie, and the were good for each other and I loved their dynamic.

By now, you might be thinking that I disliked this story, but I didn’t. Did I like the above mentioned circumstances plus some others, obviously not. Sure, I’m still wondering why the choice was made by the author to write these circumstances the way that she did, but it’s her book to write any way she pleases and if I’m being honest, nothing that happened in this book is out of the realm of possibility. So, she gets props for realism, it was just a lot for me at times! LOL Overall, I’d say I have a love hate relationship with this story more than anything else.

🎧Listening to an ALC of this story saved the day for me and having the ARC to refer to when I needed to really look at different circumstances a bit “slower” also saved the day for me. Gregory Salinas and Rose Dioro did an outstanding job with their performances. Both have a good range to their voices which makes listening to them in dual-style narration very pleasant. Their performance kept me “in” the story where I might have otherwise put it aside had I been reading. Perhaps. *shrug*

Only For Him - Natasha Madison
♾️/5✨🌟

* SPOILERS *

This book is my favorite book she has ever written. I don’t know if it was the story or how Gregory Salinas and Rose Dioro narrated Kylie and Knox because I was just sucked into this story.

I also loved Knox’s kids. Nora, Westley and Vincent were just a perfect addition to this book. Nora was just adorable and I loved the boys. I felt so bad for Vincent because with him being older, he knew what happened.

I also loved how these two met and when he discovered who she was - freaking priceless!

I’m so glad that Knox was strong and didn’t take crap from anyone whether they were family or not. His mother really upset me for the many times she took his ex’s side but man, when the father stood up for him, I was bouncing in my seat. Also, his sister siding with the wrong person instead of her brother was just ridiculous and over the top.

This book had so many funny moments. I loved Kylie’s sarcasm and how she didn’t let anyone walk all over her. I loved her story and I was so happy when she opened up to Knox about her history with not being loved or being enough.

That resort trip they went on had me giggling because that place was like a cult and I couldn’t help my laughter from the food to the potential hike and just the trip wasn’t what he thought.

I loved how Kylie’s brother found out about Knox and Kylie. Also, that chapter when Kirby and Knox were talking when Kirby needed a favor. The whole “kidney” part had me rolling!

There is a moment of angst of course. I was so happy when Knox knocked on her door after a very serious moment.

Ugh, this book had me in so many feelings. If you haven’t read any books by Natasha, this is definitely your time.

I received a copy of this book and this is my honest review.

Only For Him by Natasha Madison
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5
🌶️🌶️.5

Only For Him is book three in the Only For series, and it follows Knox and Kylie. I’ve had my eye on Kylie’s story since book two when Kirby introduced her as his little sister, and she didn’t disappoint one bit. Kylie is a carefree, funny, and wild FMC who runs her brother’s nonprofit that helps domestic violence survivors. Kylie grew up in an environment where she didn’t feel loved or didn’t feel like anyone could ever love her without hurting her, so she closed that door a long time ago for herself.

Knox is a newly grumpy divorced hockey player single dad who has completely sworn off love after his ex-wife cheated on him with someone he least expected, turning his life upside down. When these two meet each other, it was anything but love at first sight, and let’s just say Kylie was NOT a fan of the tall, hot hockey player. But when the heated tension gets too much to handle, things start heating up, and that first spicy scene will leave you blushing multiple times 🥵 I absolutely loved the growth between Kylie & Knox, but also reading about Kylie connecting with Knox’s three kids is so freaking sweet. Seeing Kylie help Knox work through his past relationship and Knox helping Kylie work through her past insecurities was a breath of fresh air and made everything feel more reliable. I can’t wait to continue this fun series!!

Tropes:
✨NHL player
🏒Single dad
✨Life after divorce
🏒Past traumas
✨Dislike to love

Only for Him by Natasha Madison

Knox and Kylie have one hilarious disaster of a meet-cute, and things only heat up from there. As they have the same friend group, they see each other constantly. They keep hooking up and claim it's physical only. Despite their dislike of each other, they have phenomenal chemistry. Slowly, they become friends and ultimately fall in love without realizing it. Both of them have past trauma that they must overcome on the way to their HEA. Kylie's upbringing makes her feel as if she is unlovable. Knox's trust was shattered by his ex-wife. Not to mention his family and their horrible choices in the sides they chose. 😡 As they navigate these obstacles, they realize that they truly are perfect for one another. The third act break-up is a tough one. Both characters are miserable. However, there are plenty of other moments that will have you laughing out loud and a few more that will have you crying. Kylie's birthday got me. 😢

Do yourself a favor and clear your schedule for a few hours. You will want to read this one straight through! I couldn't, but I kept it by my side and snuck it in whenever and wherever I could. 😊

I received an ARC of this book, but these opinions are my own. I would like to thank the author, Natasha Madison, and The Author Agency for allowing me the privilege of reading her work. ❤️

What to Expect:
Sports (Hockey)
Single Dad
Dislike to Love
Sworn off Love
Opposites Attract

Natasha and Hockey is a combination I will forever love, and once again Natasha's magic jumps off the pages of Only for Him. Knox is reeling after walking in on his wife cheating on him. Newly single and coparenting, he has sworn of relationships to focus on his kids. And then in walks Kylie.

These two had so much emotional baggage between the two of them. I especially loved the way they both swore off relationships, and yet found themselves not only attracted to each other but in bed over and over again. Their banter was impeccable and their chemistry was fire and the emotions were raw and real.

My one wish from the book was more resolution with Knox's mom and sister. While there was some in the epilogue and realistically I know some situations are never resolved, but I was hoping for just a bit more to close out those storylines.

Thank you so much to Natasha and The Author Agency for an early copy of Only For Him!

Knox returns home early and catches his wife in bed with his sister’s husband. Now he is adjusting to life as a single man and trying to be a good father to his three kids. He meets Kylie, his team mate’s sister at a team outing but he doesn’t know who she is and he says something totally crappy to her. Kylie is no pushover and she comes back at him with equal snark. When he learns her identity, he’s embarrassed and intrigued. Needless to say, they have mutual dislike for each other. Their arguments lead to an explosive encounter that just starts their forever journey. Knox loves Kylie’s snarky ways and she adores the was he loves her even though she’s not ready to accept it. Knox has to overcome all of Kylie’s hangups about love and Kylie has to learn that true love is not conditional.

I loved this story. Natasha Madison has done it again!!

✨ARC REVIEW✨ 4.5⭐️ Absolutely loving this series!! Kylie grew up not knowing what a selfless true love was. She closed herself off to it because love always came with a price for her. That is until Knox entered the picture. Knox is rebuilding his life after everything came crumbling down when he found his wife and his brother in law in bed together. This thing they have between them is purely physical…but could there actually be more to it?? Kylie doesn’t want to fall in love but she might not have a choice when it comes to Knox and his kids. They show her a safe place to land and a love that comes with no strings and it just might be exactly what she needs.

I was so excited for this one after the ending of the last one and let me just say it did not disappoint!! Knox and Kylie and the banter between them! I really loved that Kylie opened up to Knox and started to see what a good relationship should be. After everything the two of them have faced in life this was the perfect happily ever after for them! Also Kylie standing up for Knox…LOVED IT! I always love seeing characters from the rest of the series too and this crew is just so much fun together!!

Every book that Natasha writes is one that i always devour. I love the way that she tells a story and keeps you entertained with the best tropes. The single dad trope is one of my favorites. You also get teammates/best friend's sister with a lot of hate to lovers going on.

Knox and Kylie are so good together. I absolutely adored this couple and all they bring to the table. I loved the way Knox put his kids first and how he is career driven. I enjoyed the way that he came across on the page as gruff and kinda rude at times. But deep down he was just a man that was hurt and trying to keep his walls up. I loved his kids!
Kylie is sunshine and attitude. She made me laugh with her comebacks and the way she stood her ground. I enjoyed seeing her find love and open up to it.

I really enjoyed this book. I can't wait for more from this series. I am addicted to anything that Natasha writes!

Knox is a professional hockey player whose life completely falls apart when he discovers his wife has been cheating with his brother in law. Kylie is his team mate’s sister who has no intention of falling in love, especially with someone like Knox.

What starts off as tension and a lot of back and forth between them slowly turns into something more.

Kylie was a great character. She is funny, guarded and gives Knox just as much attitude as he gives her. I really enjoyed seeing their dynamic change as the story went on.

I also loved Knox with his kids. The way they welcomed Kylie into their lives was really sweet and added a softer side to the story.

The banter between them was so fun and the chemistry definitely kept things interesting.

If you enjoy sports romance with tension, humour, spice and a protective single dad hero, this one is worth picking up.

Oh. I feel so much for Knox. He's been betrayed by the woman he married, the mother of his children. And his dang brother in law. Honestly, he's not feeling getting into another relationship. But when he meets Kylie (REALLY meets her, not the first meeting 🤣) its definitely attracted at 2nd sight.

Kylie is confident, kick butt, and take no prisoners. After growing up the way she did shes not expecting love. And Knox is such a great dad. It really heats up the hot factor.

These two are chemistry. Knox has to walk carefully though, hes a single dad with a ex who doesnt know the meaning of... its over. Just you wait until you see how he talks to her (king behavior).

Did I mention that the reason these two meet are because... Kylie is his teammates sister? Hmmm... I love the conflict!

Can Knox make Kylie see that theyre forever? Even with the family drama?

I loved that Natasha Madison pushed the envelope on this book. Knox walks in on his wife and brother in law in his bed. This one action ruins the family dynamic and Knox’s trust in one afternoon.

Knox is a professional hockey player, single dad, and still trying to find his footing after his wife’s betrayal.

I loved Kylie, she is confident, sassy, and holds her own with Knox. They start with the enemy’s thing, then move to benefits, but once these two stubborn people stop fighting and figure it out – WOW.

There is a lot more, and no spoilers here, Knox’s kids are adorable. My frustration with Knox’s family had me ready to throw my kindle. This hockey romance checked many of my boxes, and I enjoyed the read. Looking forward to what/who comes next.

Thank you to the Author for the advanced copy; this is my voluntary review.

I really enjoyed this book, Knox and Kylie are such a great couple.
Knox is in a dark place at the start of this with his family life having blown up after catching his wife cheating on him (with his brother in law) but what he says to Kylie at the bar when they first meet and interact was so crass but her reaction was brilliant, and there started their love/hate relationship. The spicy scenes between these two were hot, especially the first few where Kylie insisted she hated him, but their chemistry was undeniable.
I loved the progress of their relationship, they way they both found the strength individually, and trust in each other, to open their hearts and love after having that shattered in their pasts.
It’s easy to read, emotional and heartwarming, with strong character growth from both of these engaging characters with lots of interactions with other characters we’ve growth to know and love throughout this series.

ARC received from author - THANK YOU!

This was my first book by Natasha, I had never read any of the other books in the series, but I did t feel it was necessary to understand the book or characters.

I love a single dad troupe, Knox’s love for his kids was the best, I loved that he didn’t hold back from Josephine or take her back.

Kylie and Knox first interaction had me CACKLING. 🤣 what he said to her… 🤣

I do feel it had a strong plot, but kind of got lost at times with how much spicy scenes and talk that was in the book. I’m all for spice but it doesn’t need to be every thought or every 5 minutes.

Overall this was a good time!

What can I say about Kylie and Knox? They both have trust issues, for good reasons, but together they're straight up fire. I love the hockey team dynamics and the family/found family elements, but the heart of this one is in two wounded souls learning to trust and take a chance on new beginnings.

There’s so much to love in this one. Kylie and Knox are perfect together, and the close friends and family give us strong bonds and fun banter. Charming and humorous, sweet and smexy, and just so much darn fun, you’ll want to get your hands on this romance right away.
