Only For, Book 2

By: Natasha Madison

Narrated by: Stephanie Rose, Teddy Hamilton

From Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author Natasha Madison comes a brand new sports romance. A spin-off from the This Is series.

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.

🚨 Spoiler Alert 🚨

My favorite read of 2026 so far.

What stood out most was the very real portrayal of emotional manipulation, gaslighting, and isolation in an abusive relationship. After 20+ years working in medicine, I’ve seen this dynamic too often—especially from men in positions of authority. The warning signs felt uncomfortably familiar. If you ever see someone being isolated from friends or family, check on them. It matters.

The romance was strong, but I do wish their friendship had continued until she was officially divorced before they moved into a romantic relationship. That would have preserved their characters just a bit more for me.

I really hope future books spend more time highlighting the foundation created to support women in abusive situations. It felt like a powerful thread that could be expanded into something even more meaningful—showing how that resource grows, how it protects women, and how it becomes a place of refuge and advocacy for those going through similar circumstances.

If you’re looking to get exposure to a hockey romance, this one is very light on the hockey and very high on the romance, but it’s worth your time to give this romance a try.

🎧 Narration by Teddy Hamilton and Stephanie Rose was fantastic and really elevated the story.

As usual I love this family and their antics and their live for family

I absolutely love the continuation of the is family! and the narators were great. Keep more coming please.

Great Second Chance Story!

Great love story. Enjoyed the characters and subject matter. Another awesome book in the series

can't wait for next book in series

love the new series and glad it's back into the family. Would of been nice if it was dual... did not like the girl's guy voice and guy's girl voice.

Loved

I love this story. I loved the relationship with Kirby Alexi. I love that Trent was a D bag and got what he deserved. The spice was fantastic. I thought it was really important that Kirby was emotionally, mature, and he understood that he couldn’t point the obvious out to Lexi and push her to leave Trent. That she had to do it on her own. And hopefully she would get smart and leave him. Otherwise, all he would be doing was a disservice. And I love that he knew that. And I love that. He always put her first. And made sure she was OK.
