In a small town where secrets last five minutes, privacy is a myth, and gossip lasts forever, this might have been the worst possible place to settle.

After my last job fell apart and burned my reputation, I followed Archer to this small town in Nowhere, Montana.

I had no intention of staying longer than the night, but circumstances took a turn for the worse when not only was there not an immediate solution to my job problem, but the only places to stay were the local roach motel or a bed and breakfast with flowery bedspreads and potpourri in every room.

But then I happened to help out a Parker, which apparently meant something in this town.

Not only did I land myself a house rental for as long as I needed, but I ended up with a neighbor who insisted on feeding a stray dog on my property, convinced he was mine.

And as much as I fought it, I found myself sort of liking the damn dog.

Not that I would ever admit that.

But the dog wasn’t the only unexpected addition to my daily life.

It seemed the more I tried to ignore my neighbor—her perky personality, the weird tea concoctions, and her ability to make me want her even when she annoyed me—the more I found myself intertwined in her life.

And that might just get her killed.

I'm a stay at home mom that loves to read. Some of my favorite titles are Pride and Prejudice, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Horatio Hornblower. I started writing when I was trying to come up with suggestions on ways I could help bring in some extra money. I came up with the idea that I could donate plasma because you could earn an extra $500/month. My husband responded with, "No. Find something else. Write a blog. Write a book." I didn't think I had anything to share on blog that a thousand other mothers hadn't already thought of. I decided to take his challenge seriously and sat down to write my first book, Jack. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed writing. From there, the stories continued to flow and I haven't been able to stop. I hope my readers enjoy my books as much as I enjoy writing them. Between reading, writing, and taking care of three small kids, my days are quite full.

Review & Release for ONLY FOR LOVE by Natasha Madison

ONLY FOR LOVE

Natasha Madison

Release Date: January 9 

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…

Blurb:

When a chance encounter changes everything.

Lexi

Falling for a famous hockey player? I would have laughed at you.

I was trapped in a marriage-caged with cruelty.

I wasn’t ever going to be free.

Until I found a way to escape. 

Before him, I thought love was a nightmare.

Now I dared to dream.

 

Kirby

First time I met her I was drawn to her light.

Then I saw the fear in her eyes.

Fear I’ve seen before.

Our chance encounter turned into two.

If she ever needed me, I’d be there.

I never dared to want her.

But I lost my heart to her anyways.

The characters in this story, especially Lexi and her narcissistic husband, drew us in. I felt a strong protective instinct towards Lexi and connected with her character, sympathizing with her situation as I had been in a similar one years ago.

As Lexi's friendship with Kirby blossomed, she began to realize the truth about her marriage and the happiness she deserved. Kirby played a crucial role in helping Lexi recognize her self-worth as she navigated her emotional struggles. The story portrays Lexi's journey towards self-discovery and fulfillment, with Kirby providing unwavering support and inspiration. Their relationship evolves into a source of companionship and healing, leading to mutual growth and empowerment. As Lexi reconnects with her family and confronts her past, her strength and progress become evident. The characters were wonderful; Lexi is generous, loving, caring, and beautiful inside and out. Although she was lost for a while, the old Lexi reemerged when she took her life back and decided to heal and grow. Kirby was our favorite character, a swoony character who was amazing, supportive, loving, and wore his heart on his sleeve. The characters as a whole made the story delightful and engaging. The novel highlights the themes of love, resilience, and commitment shared by Lexi and Kirby, as well as the importance of family. The ending was what we hoped for, with Lexi taking charge of her life and finding happiness. We loved this couple's love story; it was beautiful, and despite the trials they faced, their connection and chemistry were undeniable and explosively good.
