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 📚!!

I love this whole family and enjoy each new book we get with all of them!
Made For Us was a fun sports romance between a hockey playing single dad and a nurse. They have been crushing on each other hard and after the night of both of their dreams hello surprise pregnancy! All the side characters, especially Tristan's daughter, really brought this story together!
I listed to the audio of this book and it was performed so well!

4.5 stars, 2.5 chili peppers!
LOVED this book and everything about Tristan and Abigail!!
Tristan and Abigail have been in each other's lives for the lasts 6 years, as he is her brother's hockey teammate, and she has a strong connection with the daughter he found out was his all those years before. They both have had feelings for each other, but been to scared to act on it - instead they are adorably awkward with one another.
When Tristan comes on her large family's vacation, they are staying next door to each other... and one night the tension finally snaps.
Weeks later, Abigail is surprised by 2 little lines on pregnancy test... but does she have the courage to let Tristan know what is happening, after they haven't spoken since their one night together?
I suggest reading book 1 in this series at least, because that is where you meet Penelope and Tristan, and see how this relationship all began.
I love the way Tristan cares for his daughter and is such an amazing father.
I love how once the tension snaps between Tristan and Abigail, it is some GOOOOD dirty talk.
And I love the way he cares for Abigail, even when she tries to fight him on it. So so so swoony!!
Natasha continues to crush it with this series!!

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.
“Of course, you’re the father,” she mumbles. “I can’t even believe you are asking me this.” “Well, how was I supposed to actually know,” I answer back to her question and then my head hangs down and the tears come to me. “Why didn’t you tell me?” I ask as she looks at me with her own tears in her eyes. She opens her mouth to say something but nothing comes out. “How could you keep this from me?”
...
“You can be as involved as you want to be,” she assures me and I glare at her now. “How involved I want to be?” I ask her the question, hoping I didn’t hear it right. “Yes. This must be a shock to you.” “A shock to me?” I look at her. “A shock. It’s so much more than that.” I swallow down the rage that wants to come up. “I can’t even put into words what I’m feeling right now,” I tell her, and tears come out of my eyes. I don’t even bother wiping them off at this point. “You have no idea the guilt I carry.” The sob wants to escape, but I push it down. “The guilt that I try to make up for every day.” I shake my head. “I missed all the firsts,” I say, the guilt coming to the surface. “The guilt that eats away at me every time I sit down, and my mind wonders about her, hopefully feeling like I didn’t desert her. Or that she thought I didn’t fucking care.” The thought guts me. “First heartbeat, first picture, first breath. First cry, first smile.” I’m gutted again. “First time she crawled. The first time she took a step. The first time she fell and got hurt, I wasn’t there for her. I missed it all. It was ripped away from me.” I can’t help the broken way my voice is. “And I vowed to myself that the next time it happened. The next time I had a child, it would be different. I was not going to miss anything.” “I’m never going to keep you away,” she says, her voice cracking too. “You did, though, by not telling me.”
De verdad que cuando Abigail menciona sus razones fueron solo tontearías para mi y creo que el hecho se que se perdonen tan rápido las cosas hace que sea complicado para mi perdonarla.
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

El dialogo que tiene cuando le menciona esta culpabilidad que tiene sobre Penélope es muy triste porque durante todo el libro podemos ver como la quiere y cuida, esta al pendiente de ella no se despega de ella a menos que tena que viajar eh incluso cuando esta fuera esta al pendiente de ella entonces cuando habla acerca de como se perdió tantas cosas fue doloroso.“Of course, you’re the father,” she mumbles. “I can’t even believe you are asking me this.” “Well, how was I supposed to actually know,” I answer back to her question and then my head hangs down and the tears come to me. “Why didn’t you tell me?” I ask as she looks at me with her own tears in her eyes.

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.
