Vivienne

I did the last thing I ever expected to do. I bought a boat. A beautiful boat that was all mine to spend the summer on.
Only thing I was looking forward to was the calm being on the water brought me.
A place where I wasn’t a hockey dynasty princess or the only single girl of the family.
What I wasn’t looking forward to was the broody man in the boat next to me.

Xavier

I was at the top of my game two years ago.
Then it all came crashing down.
I hung up my skates and vowed to never play again.
I was good at hockey, but hockey was bad for me.
I planned to spend my life on my boat with my dog.
Alone. Happily alone.
Until she came along.

My Review:

As the second book in her Made For Series, Madison’s Made For You is her latest off the charts enemies-to-lovers romance that will leave you swooning and rooting for the characters until the very end.

For Vivienne Grant growing up among hockey’s greatest is what she calls family, but while her family reunites for the summer. She surprises everyone by getting a boat of her own to call home for the summer, a place to get some much needed work done without any interruptions at all. That soon changes the minute she meets her grumpy neighbor Xavier and his cute dog, Beatrice. It’s from the very beginning that he tries to put some distance between them, trying to keep to himself, yet that clearly didn’t end up working out. There is something about Xavier that calls to her and wants to get to know him more. While her family would be all over him, Vivienne is the one that doesn’t want to push for information that he might not be ready to share. After all, she is the one that is keeping a big secret from her family and friends. But once things are out in the open and Xavier starts to trust her, Vivienne doesn’t know how he is going to react once she finally shares her secret with him.

Xavier Montgomery never expected to own a boat or adopt a dog, not after his life consisted of hockey 24/7 ever since he got drafted to the NHL when he was eighteen. He was at the top of his game, then everything came crushing down two years ago. He was scrutinize when he wasn’t performing like he usually would and with no help to back him up, Xavier made the decision to walk away from hockey all together. Getting a boat and Beatrice was supposed to represent a fresh start for him, away from the spotlight. His routines are always peaceful and the same, until his new neighbor comes along. She a beautiful and ready to kill him with kindness for not being so welcoming to the neighborhood. Vivienne is a distraction and he vows to stay away from her, until he can’t anymore. She is different and understanding. He’s never told anyone what truly happened that changed his life forever and telling her starts to mean something more to him. He is starting to fall and doesn’t know if she feels the same way.

I throughly enjoyed reading Made For You, it was magnetic and steamy. If you like the close proximity and grumpy/sunshine tropes than I would highly recommend checking out the story. Fair warning, there is a sensitive topic that Madison touches on and explains very well. It’s evident from the beginning that both characters can relate to each other and are able to rely on one another as they go through ups and downs. We get to see familiar characters make appearances which made the book that much more enjoyable to read. Although there were a few things that I wish the author could have elaborated on further, the story as a whole was well-written and the ending will leave you wanting for more. I cannot wait to read the next book in the series! :)

My Rating: 4.5/5

Meet Natasha Madison:

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...
