Meant For Gabriel by Natasha Madison follows Zara and Gabriel. Zara is supposed to be having the best day ever picking out her perfect wedding dress but everything is ruined when she finds out her fiancé has been cheating on her. Heartbroken and needing a getaway, Zara goes to spend some much needed time away in a small town. When she gets there, she has an instant connection with the local bartender and things get steamy from there.

This book was such a fast paced, fun time. I have read several books by this author and I always have a good time. This was a good combination is spice and story. I love seeing how the characters connect to each other.

This one had some miscommunication towards the end that really annoyed me but other than that, I had a great time reading this!

After reading reviews of this book I realized I might be crazy because I DISAGREE HEAVILY.

This book has the best premise and I was so excited but what a big disappointment.

First of ALL who are all these people????? Like this is NOT an interconnected standalone, don’t let the author lie to you. You will spend 30% of this book trying to figured out who are all these side characters and why are they somehow all related or know each other..
(I have read only one other book by the author and I actually LOVED it, this was not a problem with that one even though it is in the same universe)

Second of all… the continuous miscommunication.. over & over & over again.

I enjoyed this book overall. The characters were lovable and relatable. The pacing was a bit slow and places I wish the author would have dove into more, were clipped and places where I felt it was needed were elaborated on. But it's a personal thing. Overall I really enjoyed this book.

Natasha Madison always delivers a swoony and engaging story- and the audio on this one hit just the spot. Feel good, sexy, full of vibrant and entertaining characters, and brimming with chemistry- it's the full Natasha Madison experience. I loved the opposites attract vibe, the one night stand turned more, and as always, we have a dirty talking hero who is just so dreamy he'll melt your heart and your panties...and a single dad?! Yup, total puddle. Another great Natasha treat!

5/5 stars.

I absolutely loved this story! It felt like coming home again with these characters and I just loved everything about it. I finished the book in one sitting, it was a fast and easy-to-read one and just everything about it was perfect. I adored being back in this world and the tropes. It was exactly the book I needed right now.

I wish I knew that this was part of a series before reading it. The massive amount of side characters made it hard to get into. Also, much to instalove for me.
