Me and surprise pregnancy goes hand in hand!!! I love that trope more than anything, I’m so serious. If I could only read one trope for the rest of my life I would seriously pick surprise pregnancy or anything to do with kids because kids just add such a lighthearted and fun dynamic to books.
Meant For Gabriel is both very sweet and real fiery. Like to that point where you’re asking yourself who you are cause you’re getting swooped into it so much. I just love Zara and Gabriel’s relationship so much and the fact that those romantic feelings started wayyyyy before they found out they were preggo. That’s a thing I love about surprise pregnancy romances is when the main characters fall in love not because of the baby or babies but because of their connection and by spending time together. The dilemma of the book about who had to move where made me kinda impatient at times but only because I was so invested in this relationship and just wanted them to be together 24/7.
The gender reveal just melted my heart into billions of pieces like I was just a simple piece of melted chocolate at the end of it because of how many cute and adorable moments this book had in it. Gabriel’s such a good dad to all his kids. Colson was sooooo sweet too and I loved how quickly he grew a liking to Zara and wanted her to stay with them.

Zara had been living her life on hold. After she breaks up with her fiancé and goes to the South to have time to reset. She needs the perfect rebound, Gabriel is the cowboy bartender dream. Zara and Gabriel are two souls that find each other in the most awkward times, but work perfectly together. My favorite part is them breaking the news to her parents and his. Madison’s world weaves through perfectly with all the stories interconnecting at some point.

Natasha Madison has officially become one of my auto-buy authors! This was such a good ending to the series! I have a surprise pregnancy story with a huge family aspect and this did not disappoint!
Zara needs to get away after finding her fiance cheating on her, on the day she chose her wedding dress of all days too! She decides to take a few weeks to "find herself" at her sister-in-law's house. With the peer pressure of her cousin, she goes to a local bar, having a ONS with the bartender and sneaking out in the morning.
Gabriel is instantly attracted to Zara and quite disappointed when he wakes up alone the following morning. To his luck Zara is his cousin's sister-in-law and now that he's found her again, he won't let her go that easily.
The two weeks spent together were enough to have them both addicted. When these wonderful weeks are up, both go back to their own lives, but both are extremely miserable. It was actually cute & pretty frustrating to read how they both wanted to text/call each other, but both were too scared. Thank God for that Valentine's Day gesture though

✨ I received this book as an ARC for my honest review✨
Rate: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Zara’s story in Meant For Gabriel had major Runaway Bride vibes, and I am here for it! The cheating had me hollering! The audacity of some people is out of this world! I loved Zara's witty retorts back to her cheating ex. Wanting to have time to process everything, Zara escapes to the countryside, where she ends up having a one-night stand with the local bartender, Gabriel.
From the start, their chemistry is off the charts, and Gabriel’s role as a single dad adds an irresistible layer to the story. I adored how Zara seamlessly fit into Gabriel’s life, forming a heartwarming bond with his son, Colson. I loved that Zara started putting herself first and that Gaberial showed her that she is worth everything, plus more! Their time together was SO cute and frustrating, especially as they struggled with communication and the challenges of a long-distance relationship. Thank goodness for that Valentine’s Day gesture that brings them back together!
I found myself hooked from start to finish. I devoured this book in one sitting—it was that mesmerizing! With themes of love, healing, and undeniable passion, Zara and Gabriel’s journey had me cheering for their happily ever after. I’m already looking forward to the next book in the series!

SAVE A HORSE AND RIDE A COWBOY!
*4.25 stars*
“Sweetheart, when are you going to learn that I’m never, ever going to let you fall. I will always catch you.”
These two were such a good match; fiery, witty, sexy and so swoony despite them being quite opposites.
Also, all the little nuggets, teases and easter eggs to previous books and funny sayings was everything for a die hard NM fan!
Genre: Small town romance
Tropes: Cowboy x city girl, single dad, opposites attract, accidental pregnancy, family saga, he falls first, golden retriever MMC x feisty FMC.
Trigger warnings: No.
"Sweetheart, there is no way you can fade into anything. You walk into the room, and it's like all eyes are on you."
~ arc review ~
This was such a fun, wholesome read filled with heart, heat and humor. I loved all the banter, the total sassiness, the sweet and endearing nicknames (cowboy, city girl and sweetheart - so simple, but it hits just right!), the meddling family times two and the small town charm. Also who doesn't love a rugged cowboy?
Gabriel is very swoonworthy, and he was just so sweet and a total golden retriever. The way he was all in right from the start, while also being a devoted single dad and very understanding of Zara's independence was just great.
Zara is such a headstrong and sassy woman. She spoke her mind, but she was also a bit insecure after her confidence took a hit. It was clear that she belonged in the south and not in the big city, and following her personal growth was beautiful.
"More."
"If I fuck you any harder, I'm going to split you in half."
"What's the matter, Cowboy, can't do it?"
When these two collided the result was both explosive and life-changing. While neither planed for one another, their instant connection and the off the charts chemistry made it impossible to resist. They were really good together.
My one complaint was with their communication issues, which had me very frustrated at times. Luckily, meddling families became involved (Victor for the win - I knew there was a reason he was one of my faves!).
This was a low-angst, sweet and funny story, but there were a depth to the characters and the obstacles standing in their way that added the right amount of emotion and angst and really brought out the feels.
With the teaser for the next book, I'm not sure I'm ready, though I really want Charlie's story I think my heart will be totally shattered…

Natasha said - A dirty talking cowboy? Hold my beer.
Gabriel was EVERYTHING in this book. I mean cmon, you all know I'm a sucker for cowboys but sheeeshhhh, this man did not have to make me sweat the way he did. I loved the banter between him and Zara throughout the book.
I did an audiobook read along and the narrators absolutely NAILED these characters and really brought the story to life.
I absolutely love this series, but this one is DEFINITELY my favorite.
