Chase
Everyone expected me to play hockey.
I was good at it, but I was better at being a doctor.
So I hung up the skates and joined Doctors without Borders
But there is no place like home, so now I’m back.
And instead of being on the ice, I’m behind the bench as the team physician.
After years of playing cat and mouse, it’s time to admit it.
She’s mine.
Julia
Working as a social worker was a dream come true.
It wasn’t easy, and it has made me shut off my heart to love.
No commitment. No strings. No promises.
Until one fateful night changed everything.
He was there for me like no other one.
The biggest thing is I let him.
Maybe he was just made for me!
My Review:
As a social worker, Julia Williams has seen a lot in her career and every time it crushes her to be the one to deliver bad news to those that are under her care. It makes Julia think about her own life and how she is not ready for any type of commitment. Until Chase Grant comes into her life, ready to change her perspective on everything in her life. Having known him for years, they’ve always bumped into each other at family gatherings and their friendship blossomed. They have an easy going relationship that has never been crossed, though the attraction has always been there. It would take an unexpected twist of events to bring them closer than ever and for Julia to realize that he might just be it for her.
For Chase Grant, following on his dad and grandfather’s footsteps of playing in the NHL were already on the cards. Then everything changed when he volunteered at a children’s oncology department and his career was set since them. As the team physician for the Dallas Oilers, Chase Grant gets to do what he loves without actually being on the team and it makes him happy. But while his career keeps him busy, he hasn’t found the right woman for him yet. Seeing Julia at a family get-together is what sparks his interest in her even more. He has always been attracted to her, but because she is part of the extended family, Chase saw her as off-limits to him. Until one day, when he is working at the ER that everything changes between them. He is ready to make her see that they are meant to be together and never let her go.
I really enjoyed reading Made For Me, it’s evident that the characters have a strong chemistry and it was nice to see it evolve throughout the story. Chase is caring and truly wants to show Julia that they can be together. But they have go through ups and downs before they get their happily-ever-after. I liked how Madison sets the next story up by giving us a glimpse of the next book in the series. I cannot wait to read it and I would highly recommend checking out Made For Me as well. :)

My Rating:
When her nose isn't buried in a book, or her fingers flying across a keyboard writing, she's in the kitchen creating gourmet meals. You can find her, in four inch heels no less, in the car chauffeuring kids, or possibly with her husband scheduling his business trips. It's a good thing her characters do what she says, because even her Labrador doesn't listen to her...
