Made for Me

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.Made for Me, the first book in Natasha Madison's brand new standalone series Made For, delivered a sexy and emotional friends-to-lovers romance. The story hidden between the pages of this book will keep you entertained with its sexy and lighthearted banter, while the emotional plot will tug on your heartstrings.Made for Me is the first book in a new series and a spin-off of Madison's Only One series. Now while one can read it has a stand-alone, the experience will be more fulfilling if one reads the books featured in the Only One series. There exists an inter- connecting link between the characters in both series and they all share a special bond.Made for Me gives us Chase and Julia’s story. Grant is the product of hockey royalty. However, instead of following in his father and siblings’ footsteps, he became a doctor. Prior to returning home, he worked with Doctors Without Borders. Now he is home, he is the doctor for the Dallas hockey team. He also works in the ER.Julia, whom we met in Only One Mistake, is a Social Worker and the twin sister of Jillian, wife of Chase’s cousin Michael. Since becoming a part of the Grant family via her sister’s marriage, she and Chase developed a bond of friendship. However, ignored the growing attraction between them for fear it may ruin their friendship. Especially given the family connection they shared. However, when tragedy struck, turning Julia’s world upside down both personally and professionally, Chase stood by her through it all. While offering her the rock solid support needed during the difficult time, the dynamics of their relationship changed. It’s at this point we see his protective nature shining through. I just loved how he offered her comfort in the face of her difficult situation. Also, the way she trusted him to be there for her and allowing herself to be truly vulnerable with him. This added a layer of authenticity to their relationship. The romance which developed leaned on the side of a slow burn. Despite the closeness they shared as friends, their journey intimacy and acknowledgement of feelings developed gradually. I, for one, was eager for them to acknowledge their feelings and take their relationship to the next level. Their shared moments were filled with heat, humor, raw honesty and heart tugging scenes.I had a blast with Chase's family with the humour they brought to the story. They crack me up every time they make an appearance into any of these books. An incident relating to the tragedy which turned Julia's world on its head paved the way for another story, which will be featured in this series. Looking forward to see how it will play out. Made for Me was an absolute delight and perfect for fans of the author, The Only One series and contemporary romance. This review was originally posted on Totally Addicted to Reading
