Vivienne comes from a multigenerational hockey family. A lot of them have been featured in a few of the authors earlier series.
She’s a positive, funny and nice heroine. She’s very likable and clever.
Xavier was an NHL player who walked away from it all to live on a boat with his dog, living a pretty solitary life. His reasons come to light later in the story and were a great part of the plot. He’s very grumpy with Vivienne when she moves into the boat docked next to his. She handles it well and plays little word and attitude games with him that are funny and give great enemies to lovers heat.
His dog plays a big part in their earlier interactions as she and Vivienne are fast besties.
I liked the story overall, I liked the banter between Vivienne’s huge family.
There’s a bit of a fun surprise about her that’s very cool.
I like the chemistry between the characters, it’s very hot and also quickly becomes emotional.
This story went from enemies to insta love pretty quickly. I wish their enemies banter and the buildup to bigger feelings had been teased a bit more. It’s my personal preference, I’m not usually a fan of insta love.
Overall, I still enjoyed the humor, the romance and the characters journey’s. It’s a sweet, steamy feel good romance.
The characters talk out loud to themselves a lot, it was an interesting style of storytelling. Xavier talks to his dog to be more clear, which is very cute and I’m guilty of doing the same.
The story involves mental health issues, I think it was a great addition to the character and story. It was handled delicately and with minimal details of a disturbing nature.
Fans of the author’s sports series will surely enjoy it and love seeing past characters as I did.

This book was so emotionally rich. Xavier slowly and grudgingly begins to open up to his new dock neighbor, Vivienne. When he sees a bunch of people approaching her boat he’s shocked when he recognizes them as who’s who in hockey.
I loved how Vivienne ended up being the one person in her family reserved and respectful of other people’s business. She doesn’t pry and ask questions and Xavier responds to her accepting him for what he says.
These two characters are great together and I loved how accepting her father, Matthew, is of Xavier’s past and steps up to have his back during a meeting with Nico. I think this was the calmest and non-over the top he’s ever been.
Can’t wait for more books from Natasha!

Oh my. Xavier’s story broke me into pieces and Vivienne was able to put it back together. These two are perfect for each other in every way ❤️

This is the second book in the made for series and I couldn't put it down. This book got me from the beginning and became one of my favorites of the author's.
Vivianne surprised me a lot, we had had small glimpses of her personality in the previous books, but nothing like having her as the main character. She is reserved, empathetic, very protective and a good listener, which makes her and Xavier complement each other well. Their connection is something very sweet.
Xavier, god, the way he had to deal with everything and get away from it just wow. I loved how the issues like anxiety and depression were dealt with, for someone who suffers from anxiety, the moment when Xavier tells his story and how lonely he felt had me in tears.
Xavier and Vivianne are one of my favorite couples of the author's and their story has a very special place in my heart.
Highly recommended if you like it:
*Grumpy/Sunshine
*Neighbors to lovers

Made For You is the second book in the Made For series, which is a spin-off of Only One, one of my favorite series. The close-knit Grant/Horton/Stone family get-togethers are full of witty banter, family drama, and high spirits. This is Vivienne Grant, the last single child of Matthew Grant, and Xavier Montgomery’s story.
Successful hockey player Xavier Montgomery left the game of hockey abruptly two years prior and with no explanation. He thought he had left the hockey life behind him only to discover his new bothersome neighbor is related to the famous Grant/Horton/Stone hockey family. He tried to stay away from her but how can he resist the charming and cheerful Vivienne?
Vivienne Grant loves the peacefulness of water, so she bought a boat and plans on living on it over the summer. Once she moves in, she meets her grumpy neighbor and his cute dog Beatrice. She isn’t sure what to make of him, but she will kill him with kindness and not allow him to affect her.
Vivienne and Xavier’s story was beautiful, emotional, and heartbreaking. I loved watching their relationship grow once Vivienne got through Xavier’s grumpy façade. They were able to connect and help each other and were perfect for one another. This was such an incredible book, and I cannot wait for Tristan and Abigail’s book, which is the next in the series.

I absolutely LOVED this story of Vivienne and Xavier's love. This book was filled with so many funny moments, with the same amount of emotional ones.
Vivienne is the last remaining Grant sibling who is not married and she has no intentions of looking for love anytime soon. She wants to get away from her large (I mean HUGE) meddling family, so she buys a boat and decides to spend the summer living on it. What she doesn't expect is her grumpy boat neighbor to be someone who is already a part of her family's hockey world.
Xavier hung up his hockey skates two years prior due to some serious issues that were not being taken seriously by his time. So he decided to make the hard choice to leave his dream behind forever. So he bought a boat, adopted a dog and lived a recluse life away from everything that caused him stress and anxiety before.
No one has been able to break down Xavier's walls until his new neighbor comes in with her sunshine attitude and without asking him questions. Over time, he warms up to her and they go from nothing to everything.
I loved their trips out on the boat and their interactions with Xavier's dog Beatrice. But what I loved most was their conversations and how they were there for each other when they didn't know they needed each other. The way that Xavier opened up about his struggles and how Vivienne immediately stepped up to be there for him.
The ending of this book truly made me tear up. Both Vivienne and Xavier ended up exactly where they were supposed to; with each other.
I can't wait to read Tristan's book next!

2 stars bc of the dog. the writing was so bad. there was no timeline. ugh. sigh.
Can I just say how much I absolutely adore and fell hard for Xavier? His story is one that utterly breaks your heart and is so relatable that you feel his pain like it was yours. Vivienne is an incredible person and I admired the way she wasn’t one to pry because her whole family, who I love, can’t help but to be in everyone’s business so she was a breath of fresh air, but it didn’t take away from the love you have for the closeness of the family. When she buys a boat she finally finds her peace what she wasn’t expecting was for her life to be turned upside down by her grumpy boat neighbor, Xavier. Their banter was fun and the way they talked to themselves had me laughing because wee all do that. The chemistry and connection these two form is one that has to be my favorite and I may say that a lot through each of these series, but Xavier’s vulnerability stole my heart. I won’t lie at times it’s hard to keep up with everyone because this world keeps expanding and a lot of the same names are used because their family, but the love and comradery that they all have is amazing and overrides this. Another great story and I am dying for Tristan’s story.
