I’ve never read a more dramatic people in my freaking life. 🙄😂
Yes, he called her his dead wife’s name, be glad he didn’t do it while you were doing it. She’s acting like he cheated, crying and calling everyone telling them how he called her “Cassie” and he’s thinking that he was having a heart attack and crying because he hurt her by saying the name was funny asf as well as stupid. Bunch of ridiculous people!

I had a wonderful time with the series “This Is” and Only One Kiss was a fantastic start for the new “Only One” series.
A very heartwarming and sweet sports romance read!
Ralph was a great single dad character, focused, passionate and slightly over possessive.
Candace, a strong and feisty social media expert, independent, and caring.
Ariella, the cutest and most adorable 5 months old princess, stole my heart from the very start.

So I just finished the Southern series and naturally I had to jump straight into this one. And I didn't read the blurb, I just figured it was more small southern town secrets. So, I was really shocked when I realised that Candace was related to characters from the This Is series. Which kind of sucks since it's still sitting in my kindle waiting for me to have time.

Only One Kiss is the first book in a spinoff series. This is is Ralph & Candace's story and is a single dad hockey romance which is usually right up my alley but sadly I did not love this one was much as I thought I would.
Even though this is stylized as a standalone I found the beginning of the book wasn't as smooth of a transition for someone like me who has not read the previous series connected to this story. There were a lot of names and characters thrown in and family dynami ...more

This first installment in the Only One Series was so freaking amazing. Single dad romances always get to me deeply and Only One Kiss wasn't an exception. I couldn't get enough of Candace, Ralph and baby Ariella. Natasha Madison easily captured my heart with this slow burn romance brimming with feels and passion. It’s not a secret that the Something So Series and its spin-off This Is Series are my absolutely favorite sports romances. I love this group of protagonists so ...more
I've really enjoyed this story.
I have a problem with Natasha Madison's books I finish them too quickly, her writing is so smooth that I don't want put my reader down until the ens of the book.
Ralph, is a single dad and a hockey player. He tries to balance his career and being the best dad a baby girl could have. It is not easy and even if he wants to do everything by himself at one point he understands he needs some help. He hires a nanny and reluctantly a social media manager.
Candace is the b
Ralph only has love for Ariella (Ari) and quite honestly he doesn't think he could ever give his heart to anyone else. Despite being through some hard trials Ralph is trying to keep going because Ari depends on him completely. He was quite yet when he needed to Ralph let his caveness show! Candace is the "It" girl and she made a decision long ago to never date a hockey player....but then Ralph comes out of nowhere and her heart clearly did not get the message.

What a book, I am speechless. I started this book and read it in hours. This book was beautifully written and was a story that is a hard one to handle. Ralph is a single father that's dealt a rough deal. Not for being a father but for the circumstances that lead him to where he is and being alone.
We met Candace in Evan's book This Is Crazy and god she was a nasty bitch to Zara. But she is to me a different woman. She has grown and has become a solid in their world. When Ralph and Candace me ...more

I've said it before and I'll say it again each time I read a new Natasha Madison book, this chick's got it and I'm crazy glad she started her writing journey. Her words are like a soothing balm to my soul. Her characters are everything in the best (and sometimes worst) ways. She’s just got that IT factor and I hope it never goes away.

This was a fantastic start to a new series by Natasha Madison. This was an entertaining book with a lot of heartfelt moments, angst and chemistry for days. It will pull on the heartstrings while giving you all the sexy. I loved that Candace was a strong independent woman and not some pushover. Ralph was a sweet doting dad a one minute and a sexy alpha the next. These two just fit together perfectly. The story was well written and all the characters were entertaining.

Instant attraction gives hearts a slow burn romance. Madison woos emotions with a sweetness that feels swoon-worthy. Ralph is adorably, clueless when it comes to knowing his heart. With a beautiful baby girl, a steady career and a tragic backstory, he's in need of some TLC. Candace is the happy ending he never thought he'd find. But will the guilt from his past, ruin his chance at the family he's always wanted? Only One Kiss is a heart tingle kind of read. It sneaks up on your blindside and walt

Only One Kiss is All. The. Feels. Right from the start, I fell in love with this story.
It's the story of Ralph, hockey player and single dad with a heartbreaking back story, and Candace the social media guru and lover of children. Neither are necessarily looking for love but there is an attraction that they just can't fight. Whoa, their chemistry had me fanning myself!
In true Natasha Madison style she had me laughing and she had me crying. It is the perfect blend of humor, angst and hot steamy ...more

Meh, this was a generic fluffy read - perfect for a Sunday afternoon.
I liked Ralph and Candace, but the dramatics at the end were a bit much for me.
Yes, he called her his dead wife’s name. Yes, it was offensive, but honestly, the theatrics!
And as for Ralph suspecting he had a heart attack when she left? I shouldn’t laugh, but 🤣.

*sigh*
I've always been biased on hockey romance... Personally, I think hockey players are rougher and sexier, and I feel like most of them have alpha personalities.
I really love Ralph and Candace's love story... It was swoon-worthy... I love how reasonably possessive he was even at the beginning... I love how he's not afraid to show his vulnerable side... how he strives hard for his little girl... and how he doesn't give up so easily. And Candace, I love how strong and level-headed she is... ...more

I went into this book super excited. It has, hands down, the best opening line I’ve read this year.

Candace is a take charge branding and social media wizard who has built her business from the ground up and worked her butt off to be the best there is in getting the right players noticed by both their fans and the right sponsors.
