Dnf @ 18%, I’m finally calling it quits with this author. I haven’t finished the last few books of hers even though the description makes it intriguing to read. The writing is just so choppy and simple/literal. At times it feels like it’s just added words to get the word count up. One example that stuck out was a sentence about the fmc having her cousin hold her bag while she took off her jacket. The next sentence was about the fmc taking back her bag and then holding the cousins so she could do the same. It’s just way too much unnecessary information.
The next issue is that seemingly every book by this author is interconnected. So from page 1 you’re getting a million names and inside jokes being thrown around with no idea how to keep them straight. The personalities of the side characters, especially the cousin, were brash and insensitive to what the fmc was going through, for example forcing her to a bar 2 days after she leaves her fiancé. It’s just not realistic.

Zara and her Cowboy
An easy escape read, as Ms. Madisons two worlds collide again, the city girl and cowboy take us on a ride. Two large families, many generations make up this story, while Zara and Gabriel’s story unfolds. The banter and chemistry are on point! This book is one of my favorites in the series.
Zara and her cousins pull me in, while Gabriel does everything right to make sure Zara will be his, keeps me reading. Be sure to read the epilogue as we are teased with what is to come!
Thank you to the Author for the advanced copy; this is my voluntary review

The chemistry between these two was undeniable from the jump. I loved seeing the stubbornness from both sides, and the chirping from the family members as well😂 Natasha’s knack for delivering a romance story that still includes several characters from different books/series makes for an entertaining read! Meant For Gabriel was great to say the least, and the audiobook checked all of my boxes! What a great story to binge!

I really enjoyed this story! We get to see so much fun, and lightness, along with sweet and spicy. Zara and Gabriel start off with a ton of heat and that does not stop. I liked how protective he is, he's a strong character, and someone that's going to be there. Zara is pulling herself back up, ready to enjoy life and handle the changes that have come her way. There's a great flow to their story, I was kept involved and enjoying every moment between them and their large group of family and friends. I am looking forward to the next book in this series!

I know I sound like a broken record, but Natasha Madison has done it again with "Meant for Gabriel," the fourth utterly swoon-worthy instalment in the "Meant For" series. How does she keep delivering these heartfelt, addictive romances that make you laugh, cry, and swoon all at once? Madison's signature family banter runs through her stories like a golden thread, making each book feel like a warm, familiar hug. And seriously, when can I get an invite to Sunday family lunch?
In "Meant for Gabriel," Madison ups the ante as she introduces Gabriel—a swoon-worthy cowboy who owns a bar and knows his way around a horse. Hockey takes a back seat and in steps Gabriel, who is all smouldering looks and cowboy charm. Zara, the daughter of hockey legend Viktor and her hockey princess mom Zoe in [This Is Wild ] is nursing a broken heart (well I think she realises pretty quickly that maybe it isn't broken but betrayed after the ultimate betrayal six weeks before her wedding. Let’s not waste time on Daniel—he’s not worth the breath. Zara escapes the chaos of New York for her sister-in-law’s old house in the South, where she meets Gabriel, the hot bartender who she assumes is a one-night fling. But she’s in for a surprise—Gabriel is not just a bartender but the bar owner, a rugged horse whisperer, her sister-in-law's cousin, and a devoted dad to an adorable 8-year-old boy. Sparks fly, and Gabriel falls fast and hard—cue all the swoons!
While they tell themselves it’s just a two-week fling while Zara is in town, the connection between them only deepens. Madison turns up the spice, but it’s never just about the heat—it’s built on the growing bond between Zara and Gabriel. And just when you think you’ve got their story figured out, two pink lines change everything, setting the stage for a life neither of them expected but both desperately want.
This is Natasha Madison at her best—combining sizzling chemistry, genuine emotional depth, and her trademark humour to create a story that keeps you hooked from start to finish. Gabriel’s cheekiness and Zara’s sass are a perfect match, making them a couple you can't help but root for. "Meant for Gabriel" is another standout addition to Madison’s lineup, and trust me, it’s one you don’t want to miss!

I just don't know how Natasha does it! How she keeps giving us book after AMAZING book!!! From the banter, to the spice, to the meddling families and the fact that after 40+ books, she is able to pull you in and make you feel included in this world she is created is just fantastic. I LIVE FOR IT AND LOVE IT!
Zara has to call off her wedding to a man she has been engaged for three years and with the help of her sister-in-law, Sofia, is allowed to escape to her home to a small town. When Zara's cousin Zoey tells her to get out, live your life... boy, does she... with none other than Gabriel who is Sofia's cousin. The sweet, but dirty cowboy ;)
Gabriel, single dad, cowboy, bar owner and dirty talker.. you were perfect! He had be from first interaction as he did Zara. He was sweet, kind and caring. He was everything Zara needed. This man would move mountains for her !
Zara, sweetheart, you deserved so much more than Daniel and you get it with Gabriel! The way she falls so hard for Gabriel is just the truth that Daniel was waste of space. I mean.. WHO CAME AFTER YOU???? We all know who did and didn't ;)
I love when Natasha does a crossover with her books. She does this very well and I enjoy every moment of it. You get the comic relief of the original crew and even the start of the meddling of the younger. This is the last book for the Meant for Series but we are now going to Montgavin and well, I am ready for it!

• One night stand

• He falls first
• Single Dad
Zara walks in on her fiancé cheating on her when she came home early from wedding dress shopping…like what!?! She needs a break from the chaos of calling her wedding off and moving out of her house, so she borrows a friend’s house out of town down south to relax and take some time for herself.
Whats the saying…. “The best way to get over someone is to get under someone” 😂 When she goes out to the local bar the first night she arrives, she is flirting with the hotttt bartender and one thing leads to another and…they sleep together….well and ill let you read to figure out the rest 🩷
Idk what Natasha puts in her books but it’s some type of drug. I read this in less than 24 hours. It was a quick, hottest, dirty, fun read. I liked how half of the book is the one night stand and leading up to the pregnancy and the other half is them figuring their relationship out. Where most accidental/surprise pregnancy stories start off with the bang, literally 😂 The angst and spice were 🥵!! It was a quick fun read. Definitely recommend. Wasn’t my favorite in the series but I still really enjoyed it.
