Victoria
Being offered a job in a brand-new city wasn’t something I was planning on.
Neither was meeting him at a random hotel bar that same night.
We shared a drink, flirted, and then one thing led to another.
We exchanged first names, and I escaped the next morning with a quick goodbye.
I never expected to see him again.
I especially never expected him to come face-to-face with him at my brother’s house.
As the new coach of the team.
Zane
I was the youngest coach in the NHL.
I had to focus on one thing and one thing only.
My job.
It’s the only thing I had time for.
Until I came face-to-face with the stranger I thought I would never see again.
She’s off-limits in every sense of the word.
Not just because she’s younger than me.
She’s the sister to my star player.

Thoughts: Natasha just knows how to write the funniest FMCs oh my gosh, I was cracking up so many times throughout this book. Her characters are quick with the banter and snarky, which I adore.

The chemistry in Only For Her is absolutely electric! Victoria and Zane have a one-night stand that is supposed to be a "one and done" situation, only to find out Zane is the new coach for her brother’s NHL team. This story hits just right with a spicy age gap romance featuring the ultimate Zaddy (yes, I had to say it!!) energy making it impossible to put down. Zane is the perfect example of a hockey hero who is equal parts professional and completely obsessed with the woman he’s not supposed to have.
This is my first Natasha Madison book, and it definitely won't be my last! The banter is top-tier and the tension is high from the very first page. It's the perfect mix of sweet and steamy, making it a great pick if you're looking for a fast-paced sports romance to binge over the weekend like I did. If you’re a sucker for a coach who would risk it all for his team captain’s little sister, this needs to be your next read!

🌶️ 🌶️ 🌶️
The chemistry between them is immediate and intense! I couldn’t get enough of it. It was the kind of chemistry that grabbed your attention right away. With these two there was constant push and pull that keeps you hooked.
Victoria completely steals the show for me. She’s sharp, witty, and unapologetically herself. She delivered some of the funniest, most effortless banter I’ve read in a while.
Zane’s guarded, broody, slightly intimidating energy, and every interaction feels charged. He might come off controlled and professional on the outside, but when it comes to her, that control slips fast. What he felt for her was perfect! He was protective and focused.
I couldn’t get enough of them. I loved their story so much. I am excited to go back and read the books that came before this.
What to Expect:
🏒Hockey romance
🏒Brothers coach
🏒Age gap
🏒Forbidden
🏒One night stand
🏒Player’s sister

Thank you so much Natasha for the eARC and the ALC! I truly enjoyed this book. I hope to get to read more and help support you!

Zaddy...
Who doesn't love an AGE GAP!?
This book delivered exactly the kind of tension filled, trope heavy romance I love. The age gap (15 years 👀) combined with the forbidden element, him being her brother’s NHL coach, as well as the press eating him alive because he is the youngest coach in NHL history, created so much delicious angst and anticipation.
Zane is more guarded, and carries that authoritative, slightly broody energy, while the Victoria brings a fresh, emotional perspective that challenges him in ways he clearly wasn’t prepared for. She is witty and strong willed in every way. She is genuinely funny, and she doesn't back down, even when everything gets messy. I loved how their dynamic evolved from impulsive attraction to something deeper, even though the stakes as well as the risks kept getting higher.
It was fun and full of chemistry.
If you love:
*Strong, witty FMCs
*Age gap romance
*Forbidden relationships
*Sports romance/Hockey
...you’ll eat this up.

Only for Her by Natasha Madison eARC review 💜
I am completely in love with every single thing about this story and I absolutely have a girl crush on Tori.
Natasha just keeps blowing me away with all the books in this series and they keep getting better and better. I basically devoured this in one sitting and thought it was fantastic.
A one night stand between strangers leads to a forbidden relationship between an NFL coach and one of his players sisters and oh man, is it every bit as juicy as it sounds. Zane is the epitome of grumpy and career driver and Tori brings such a fun and hilarious personality to the story. She is truly so funny and her one liners had me cracking up constantly.
The chemistry between Zane and Victoria is truly electric and the spice my goodness…Natasha brought the spice in this one 😮💨
Such a great read. I loved it so much and can’t wait for the next book!
What to expect:
Hockey romance
Brothers coach
Age gap
Forbidden
One night stand
Player’s sister
Secret dating

This was a cute quick fun read with a hot hockey coach who knows how to talk dirtyyyyy. 😉🥵
Zane + Victoria met at a hotel bar & had a one night stand. Neither one knew who the other was until Zane saw a family photo at one of his hockey player’s house, and recognized the sister as Victoria, the girl he slept with.
Victoria was amazing… I loved her wit & carefree attitude. Especially during the scene where everyone finds out & she’s just *chill*. I aspire to be that level of chill.
The spice in this book was perfection. Hottttt! 🌶️ 4/5 rating for level of spiciness.
5/5 🎧 audiobook rating - loved the narrators! Aiden Snow & Vanessa Moyen.
Thank you so much to Natasha Madison & The Author Agency for the ALC/ARC.

Review of advance copy received from Author
I absolutely loved Only For Her by Natasha Madison; it is an incredible one night/secret dating/age gap love story. It is the fourth book in her Only For series. I loved Only For Her so happy that we returned to the hockey arena for this series! I highly recommend this incredible love story. Natasha Madison continues to show that she is an amazing storyteller and a must-read author for me. I was hooked from the first page, it was impossible to put Only For Her down, and I loved every moment on every page. Only For Her was one of the most enjoyable books that I have read recently, I have missed the characters since finishing the book. Who does not love hot sexy tattooed athletes, strong females, loving families, and friends, who always support one another? Only For Her is the story of Victoria “Tori” Stevenson recent college graduate who was hired to handle marketing and social media for the Make the Choice Foundation and Zane Gilmore, new head coach for the LA Warriors hockey team Victoria and Zane initially meet at the airport bar, Tori’s flight was cancelled and Zane’s house was flooded. Zane is the coach for the hockey team that Victoria’s brother Jaxon plays for. When Zane sees pictures of Tori at Jaxon’s house, he realizes that she is off limits, not only because she is one of his player’s sister, but also because of the age gap. Things change between Tori and Zane as they spend more time together and things quickly heat up between the two of them, even though Tori walks away from Zane on multiple occasions because of Zane’s hang up with their age gap. I love all the changes that Victoria and Zane are willing to make to have a life with one another while they are secretly dating. I love the chemistry between Zane and Victoria, and the conversations between them flow so easily, with innuendos and playful banter, and Zane constantly flirting with Victoria, which continues into their text stream. I love how Tori got Zane’s phone number. I love the heart-to-heart conversations Victoria and Zane have with one another. I love how Zane always calls her Victoria even though all her friends call her Tori. Zane is the youngest coach in the league and his first season not going as he planned. Rumors besiege Zane, threatening his job in spite of everything that Zane does to unify the team. Another favorite part are all the little things that Zane does for Victoria especially all the flowers that he sends to her. Another favorite part of Only For Her and the plot twists and surprises, and how it is revealed what was really going on with the team. Eventually, Jaxon realizes that Tori and Zane are dating, and it becomes a social media nightmare when it is revealed. I love the ending of Victoria and Zane’s love story, and all the changes that Victoria has made in her life to have a life with Zane. It is the perfect ending of their love story, especially Zane’s proposal and when and where it takes place. Another favorite part of Only For Her is the epilogue that happens four months later and is told from Victoria’s perspective, how it reveals the identity of the next heroine in the next story and Zane’s new tattoo. I especially love the bonus epilogue told from Zane’s perspective that takes place four months later, it is truly the perfect the ending of their love story. I especially love the surprise that is revealed in the bonus epilogue. I love how Victoria teases Zane about their age difference. I love how Natasha Madison always manages to create the "perfect" heroine, who is a strong, sassy woman on her own, to balance out the sexy, swoon worthy man. I really enjoy how the book is told in the first person from the perspective of the main characters and getting the insight and feelings from the different characters. Only For Her is filled with heartbreaking and heartwarming moments that I have come to love and expect in a Natasha Madison love story, especially with the poignant and bittersweet moments and the surprises and plot twists that filled this page turner. I love all the lighter moments that made me laugh. My favorite part of the book is how Natasha Madison incorporates the picture on the cover and the title of the book into the love story with a simple statement from Zane. I love the characters in Only For Her, the characters feel like family and friends. I enjoyed all the interactions between the hockey players and their coach, especially their teasing and that made me laugh. I Victoria’s friendships with Lexi, Kylie, and Ariella, her sister-in-law. I loved the storyline, the family dynamic, and all the characters in Only For Her. I cannot wait to read the next book in the series! Who does not love family that always has each other’s backs? I thoroughly enjoyed Only For Her and highly recommend this one night/age gap love story. Received an advanced copy from the author.
Review of advance copy received from Indie Reviewers
There is something undeniably addictive about a Only For series hockey novel, and in Only For her this fourth instalment Natasha Madison sharpens every edge, deepens every feeling, and delivers a romance that feels both electric and grounded in real emotional stakes.
At the centre of it all stands Victoria Stevenson, and quite honestly, she steals every single scene she steps into. She is wit wrapped in steel, a woman whose tongue is as sharp as her instincts, firing off one-liners with effortless precision. That unforgettable moment when she casually replies, “I was supposed to have dinner at Buckingham Palace but my flight got delayed, so I guess I’m free,” tells you everything you need to know. She is bold, unapologetic, and deliciously self-assured. Yet beneath that polished, no-nonsense exterior lies something warmer, something quietly steadfast. Victoria has a heart of gold, even if she guards it behind humour and deflection, and it is that balance that makes her feel so vividly real.
Then there is Zane. Reserved, controlled, a man of very few words. Except when it comes to the space between them, where restraint gives way to something far more intense. Their chemistry does not simply simmer, it ignites. From that first chance meeting at the airport hotel bar, there is an immediacy to their connection that lingers long after they part ways. Months later, when fate places them back in each other’s orbit, that spark does not need rekindling. It erupts.
Zane’s story adds a compelling layer beyond the romance. As the youngest head coach, stepping into a role he always knew he was destined for, he carries both ambition and pressure in equal measure. This is his time, but it is not without its challenges. Resistance from the old guard, the weight of expectation, and the quiet missteps happening behind the scenes all build a tension that mirrors his personal struggle. Because while he can command a team, navigating his feelings for Victoria proves far more complex, especially with a fifteen-year age gap and the complication of her being his captain’s sister.
Victoria, in true form, refuses to let that gap define them. To her, it is just a number. To Zane, it is a line he is not sure he should cross. That push and pull between certainty and hesitation creates a delicious emotional tension. And when they finally give in, in stolen nights and hidden moments, the passion between them is explosive, undeniable, and utterly consuming.
What Natasha Madison does so beautifully here is balance that heat with heart. The camaraderie of the team, the pulse of the game, the grit and determination all weave seamlessly through the romance, giving it a richness that lingers.
Victoria and Zane may seem like opposites at first glance, but in truth they are perfectly matched. She is his fire, he is her grounding force. The yin to his yang in every sense. Together, they are sharp, passionate, complicated, and impossible to look away from.
And once again, Ms Madison leaves you with that familiar ache at the end. Completely satisfied, yet already longing for what comes next.

Only For Her
Only For, Book 4
By: Natasha Madison
Narrated by: Vanessa Moyen, Aiden Snow
Natasha Madison does it again, writing another winning novel set in her “Only For” series, an age-gap secret relationship sports romance that captivates your attention and tugs at your heartstrings the entire time. This fourth book of the series is Victoria “Tori” Stevenson, sister of Jaxon, a professional hockey player and team captain, and Zane Gilmore, newly appointed team coach. Tori graduated college and was visiting Jaxon and Ariella and her adorable nephew. She is at the airport, ready to head home when they cancel her flight, so with time on her hands, she grabs a bite to eat and a drink, striking up a conversation with someone probably doing the same. Zane was having a good day, received great news and was going to be taking over as the head coach, but the high of the good news faded when he returned home to a water leak. So he went to stay at a hotel, and his night improved when he met a gorgeous and spirited girl, and the two had a steamy and quite memorable one-night-stand. Kylie and Lexi’s non-profit took off, and they offered Tori a job, which she accepted and moved there. Months after their steamy encounter, Zane, now the head coach, learns who Tori, the girl he could not get out of his head, was: Jaxon’s sister, which makes her off-limits. The chemistry between them was sizzling hot and too strong to ignore or deny. I adored these two characters, he was quiet and serious, and she the complete opposite, talkative and, wow, full of sass and wit. There is never a dull moment in this book, and I loved how it all played out. It is a masterfully crafted, multi-layered story with the perfect balance of drama, relationship and team drama, a touch of angst, charming and witty dialogue that puts a smile on your face, heartfelt emotions and steamy romance. Natasha Madison, thank you for another excellent story and emotional rollercoaster ride.
🎧📚🎧 Vanessa Moyen and Aiden Snow were the perfect cast to bring these characters to life, giving each a voice that was fitting and believable. Snow completely embodied Zane’s grumpy and serious personality, while Moyen was equally brilliant as Tori, perfectly capturing her wit and sass, each showcasing a full understanding of their characters. They were just as fabulous performing the roles of the side/secondary characters, young and old. Setting the ideal tone for the story, their expressive performance conveyed all the characters’ emotions and had you feeling them all. These versatile voice artists are entertaining storytellers, and their captivating performance keeps you hooked to the story.

So he went to stay at a hotel, and his night improved when he met a gorgeous and spirited girl, and the two had a steamy and quite memorable one-night-stand. Kylie and Lexi’s non-profit took off, and they offered Tori a job, which she accepted and moved there. Months after their steamy encounter, Zane, now the head coach, learns who Tori, the girl he could not get out of his head, was: Jaxon’s sister, which makes her off-limits. The chemistry between them was sizzling hot and too strong to ignore or deny. I adored these two characters, he was quiet and serious, and she the complete opposite, talkative and, wow, full of sass and wit. There is never a dull moment in this book, and I loved how it all played out. It is a masterfully crafted, multi-layered story with the perfect balance of drama, relationship and team drama, a touch of angst, charming and witty dialogue that puts a smile on your face, heartfelt emotions and steamy romance. Natasha Madison, thank you for another excellent story and emotional rollercoaster ride.
🎧📚🎧 Vanessa Moyen and Aiden Snow were the perfect cast to bring these characters to life, giving each a voice that was fitting and believable. Snow completely embodied Zane’s grumpy and serious personality, while Moyen was equally brilliant as Tori, perfectly capturing her wit and sass, each showcasing a full understanding of their characters. They were just as fabulous performing the roles of the side/secondary characters, young and old. Setting the ideal tone for the story, their expressive performance conveyed all the characters’ emotions and had you feeling them all. These versatile voice artists are entertaining storytellers, and their captivating performance keeps you hooked to the story.

🍔✨Unexpected Nights, Unforgettable Love When the Coach Falls First 🏒❤️🔥
✨ARC/ALC✨
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Only For Her (Only For, #4),
By: Natasha Madison
Narrated By: Aiden Snow and Vanessa Moyen
Victoria and Zane “Zaddy” cross paths in the most unexpected way: both stranded at an airport hotel, each there for completely different reasons. Victoria is on her way home after visiting her brother, while Zane has no choice but to stay at the only hotel available near his place. Neither of them anticipates what follows a night filled with drinks, burgers and fries, easy laughter, and a connection neither of them wants to let go of.
Zane’s life is all about his career, and it’s just taken a massive leap forward. As the youngest coach in the NHL, he’s stepping into the biggest role of his life. But with that comes pressure will his players respect him? Will his assistant coaches support him or work against him? And can he lead his team all the way to the Stanley Cup? He’s always been focused, driven, and disciplined… until Victoria starts occupying his thoughts, showing up in both his dreams and his every waking moment.
Victoria, fresh out of university, didn’t plan on starting over in a new city. But a visit to her brother turns into a new job opportunity, and suddenly she’s building a life there close to family and surrounded by familiar faces. She’s vibrant, outspoken, and full of energy, with no filter and just a hint of conceit but that’s exactly what makes her so lovable.
One of the most heartwarming elements is Zane’s relationship with his nephew. Watching him try to bond and teach the little one to say Victoria’s name only to be met with an endless stream of “dada, dada, dada” is equal parts hilarious and adorable.
At first glance, Zane comes across as older, grumpy, and intensely serious. But once he lets his guard down, it’s clear there’s much more beneath the surface especially when he allows Victoria, his dream girl, into his world.
Their relationship isn’t without complications. There’s an age gap, Zane coaches Victoria’s brother, and his team dynamics demand his full attention. Yet despite all the obstacles, their chemistry is undeniable, proving that sometimes age really is just a number.
This story beautifully continues from the previous book, where we were first introduced to Victoria. Natasha does an incredible job of building a strong sense of community while also addressing sensitive topics that aren’t always easy to explore.
If you’re looking for a story that blends humor, heartfelt moments, sibling banter, and emotional depth, this is definitely one to pick up. And of course, the narrators deserve special recognition; they truly bring the story to life, adding an extra layer of emotion and charm that makes the experience even more enjoyable.

Only For Her by Natasha Madison is a seriously addictive sports romance that delivers exactly what you want from an off-limits, high-tension love story. As the fourth book in the Only For series, it fits seamlessly into the world while still feeling fresh and completely engaging on its own.
Victoria and Zane’s story hooks you right from the start with that chance meeting that quickly turns into something more. There is an instant spark between them, but what makes this story so compelling is everything that comes after. The moment they realise who the other person really is, the stakes skyrocket. Zane being the youngest coach in the league already puts pressure on him, and getting involved with his captain’s younger sister just adds another layer of tension that never really lets up.
Victoria is easy to connect with. She is independent, a little impulsive, and trying to find her footing in a new city. I loved that she didn’t back down easily and challenged Zane instead of simply falling into line with what was expected. Zane, on the other hand, is all control and discipline on the surface, but underneath that is a man who feels deeply and struggles to keep his personal and professional lives separate. Watching him fight his feelings while trying to do the right thing adds so much emotional weight to the story.
The chemistry between them is strong from the beginning and only builds as the story progresses. There is a constant push and pull that keeps things interesting, and the emotional tension hits just as hard as the romantic moments. The forbidden aspect never feels forced. It genuinely impacts their decisions and creates real conflict that drives the story forward.
The narration by Aiden Snow and Vanessa Moyen adds another layer to the experience. Aiden brings that deep, controlled intensity to Zane perfectly, making his internal struggle feel even more real. Vanessa captures Victoria’s strength and vulnerability in a way that makes her even more relatable. Together, they elevate the emotional beats and chemistry, making the story even more immersive.
This is a great mix of romance, tension, and emotion with just the right amount of angst to keep you hooked. If you love coach player dynamics, off limits romance, and strong chemistry with emotional depth, this one is definitely worth picking up.

Review of advance copy received from Author
Only For Her is book 4 in the Only For series, and follows Victoria, Jaxon’s younger sister, and Zane, the newly promoted Hockey Coach of the LA Warriors – also the youngest head coach in NHL history. Victoria and Zane meet at a hotel bar, have instant chemistry and have what they thought was a one-night stand. Fast forward to 5 months later and Zane is invited to Jaxon’s for dinner, as he is looking at family photos he stumbles upon a picture of Victoria and learns that she is his younger sister. Victoria, being new in town often shows up unannounced at her brother’s house and this night is no different, so when she waltzes into the house to find Zane there and learn that he is her brother’s hockey coach she is shocked. They both act like they don’t know each other until they talk again without anyone around.
The chemistry between these two was seriously off the charts. Zane is a gruff, broody guy who only cares about his job until he meets Victoria and she is all he can think about. Victoria is hands-down my favorite of Natasha’s FMCs, she is a firecracker and had me laughing out loud at multiple points during the book. Victoria knows what she wants, and that is Zane but she’s not going to chase him if he doesn’t want a relationship with her. If there is one thing I will absolutely gobble up, it is a “f*ck it” moment, you know the moment when the tension is so high and the FMC has put it all out there and the MMC and cant handle it anymore and says “f*ck it” – Only For Her has this moment and it is explosive.
The spice in this book was so good! Daddy Zane or shall we say Zaddy knows what he is doing with his words and with his body – whew it got hot a lot. *fans self*
Not only do we get to see the relationship between Victoria and Zane, but Natasha does an amazing job at weaving in a plot about Zane’s position as head coach and how things just seem to be going wrong for him left and right at work. The way I wanted to drop-kick a certain character had me seething, the ending and resolution was so fitting and I loved that what was happening in the background all came to light.
Only For Her is my favorite of this series so far (we’ll see what Only For Them holds). The drama, spice, banter, chemistry – all of it was amazing.
Audiobook - Vanessa Moyen and Aiden Snow did an amazing job of bringing the characters to life. Aiden Snow was the perfect fit for Zane with his deep voice, and Vanessa really put the spunk into Victoria. I highly recommend the audiobook for this one!

ARC & ALC REVIEW
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️, 5
First off, huge thanks to the author and Valentine PR, not just for the ARC and ALC they so kindly sent me, but also for welcoming me into their Content Team. I’m literally freaking out over here!!
Now, about this book: damn! I love a good sports romance, and especially a hockey one that’s this well-written and fully fleshed out. Natasha just gets it. She checks every single box for an amazing read and honestly leaves me completely obsessed every time. This one was no different! I couldn’t put it down once I started, especially because the audiobook, even though it’s not duet narration, is still flawless. The narrators are incredible, but I’ll get to that in a sec!
This is only the second book I’ve read from her, and once again, I’m wrecked in the best way. One thing she absolutely nails is her female characters, they’re always amazing: strong, determined, confident… the kind that make my inner feminist stand up and cheer. Victoria is such a mood super upbeat, with insanely sharp sarcastic humor that just leaves you shook. And Zane? God, he’s everything. The way he fights his attraction to Victoria, and then the way he loves her when he finally gives in? Completely intense and all-consuming in the best way.
I adored these two! And let’s be real... who doesn’t love a good age gap? I’m weak for it every single time. Add in the forbidden vibe because she’s the younger sister of the team captain that Zane coaches, and it just brings this insane tension to the story. And don’t even get me started on their chemistry... it’s absolutely off the charts!!
Another thing this author does so well is the family dynamic and the kids… oh my God, I was obsessed with our little “Titi” baby. So freaking adorable!
On top of that, this book leans even more into the hockey side of things, which I loved. Watching everything unfold, especially the whole situation with Cam (who, BTW, we hate with every fiber of our being) was just perfection.
Bottom line: just read it. Seriously. It’s that freaking good.
ALC review:
Like I said before, the audiobook is AMAZING. Every time Zane said “Victoria,” I melted—there was this slightly scolding, low-key daddy tone that just… yeah, I was gone 😩 Absolutely incredible. And me, being totally obsessed with audiobooks, I’ve started to get pretty picky about them.
It’s not duet narration, but the insanely talented Aiden Snow and Vanessa Moyen did a phenomenal job bringing these characters to life. I loved how each of them owned their role and made it unique, in such a believable way, exactly how I imagined these characters would sound. And wow… there were definitely some chills along the way!
Huge congrats to everyone involved… seriously amazing work.

Review of advance copy
O my goodness this was such a GREAT book! I swear, every single book in this series is chef’s kiss🤌Literally finished in a day! Only For Her by Natasha Madison is book four in the Only For series. Some of my very FAVORITE tropes! Give me a delicious age gap, a broody/sexy hockey coach, an absolutely fierce and HYSTERICAL woman, heat, angst, burn for miles, a deep and true love, a wonderful cast of found family and every emotion possible. You need this book and series!
Zane, “Coach Zaddy”, this man was the perfect broody hockey coach, alpha, all business, closed off man. Youngest coach in the NHL. Facing a lot of challenges his first year. Never truly took the time to be involved yet love someone. Tori. I WANT to be this girl when I grow up! Fierce, strong, so confident, independent, absolutely hysterical. AND I LOVED how she knew her WORTH and she would not settle for anything else! The most amazing woman! One night, these two meet and share an intense connection, no idea who each other is. 5 months later they meet again in her brother’s living room! Who just happens to play for the team Zane is coaching. There is such an undeniable connection between these two. But he fights it hard. He thinks he’s too old, and needs to concentrate on the team. THE BANTER IS EVERYTHING! I am telling you, you will laugh your head off! The push and pull is so angsty and the slow burn is pure fire. And when they finally give in, this man’s mouth, I swear the heat from these two, pure pure fire! I LOVE an age gap! And this man proved there's a difference from a true man and the boys. The way his core desire was to please her, EVERYTHING!
Add in all the family and friends, it makes these books so amazing! Loved her protective Dad and brother. I LOVE her relationship with the girls. It’s all just perfect!
I will say it again, Natasha weaves together the perfect stories. She writes so real and raw showing real life. Communication is key, not just running away. These two, they just have this connection I can't explain, it grabs your heart! You will feel every single emotion throughout. I loved how once this man fell, he fell hard and was all in. You need this series, add it now! It is so so worth it!

Review of advance copy received from Author
Natasha Madison has an undeniably addictive way of writing hockey romance that I eat up every single time, and Only For Her is no exception. I completely devoured this fourth installment in one day, having loved the Stevenson family since Manning’s story. This spin-off from the Only One series delivers every trope I adore: a delicious age gap, a broody hockey coach, and a fierce, hysterical heroine, all wrapped in the perfect blend of heat and heart.
Victoria Stevenson is wit wrapped in steel, firing off effortless comebacks and unapologetic one-liners that had me laughing my head off. Beneath her sassy, no-nonsense exterior lies a heart of gold and a woman who truly knows her worth. She is the perfect match for Zane, the youngest head coach in the NHL. Zane is all business and strictly focused on his career until he comes face-to-face with the stranger from a memorable one-night stand five months prior—only to realize she is his star player's younger sister.
The chemistry between them doesn't just simmer; it ignites. Zane plays the push-and-pull game hard, wrestling with the fifteen-year age gap and the professional complications of his new job. However, Victoria refuses to let a number define them, and watching her break down his walls is absolute perfection. Zane might be reserved and controlled, but when he finally gives in, his mouth and his devotion are on a completely different level. There is a clear difference between a boy and a man, and the way he prioritizes her needs is everything.
Beyond the explosive romance, the book is enriched by the wonderful cast of found family. The camaraderie of the team and Victoria’s relationships with the girls add a beautiful layer of depth to the story. I especially loved the protective energy from her dad and brother, which balanced the high-stakes pressure Zane faces in his first year as coach. It’s a story about communication and real connection rather than just running away from problems.
As always, the narration by Vanessa Moyen and Aiden Snow was excellent, bringing layers of emotion and depth to these characters. Natasha Madison truly weaves together the perfect mix of angst, slow burn, and pure fire, leaving me completely satisfied yet already longing for the next book in the series. This one is a total chef’s kiss!

Review of advance copy received from Author
ALC/ARC review. I received this early from The Author Agency, but my review are my honest thoughts...
I have enjoyed every book that came out of this series so far, but this one missed the mark a bit for me. I don't know if it's because I listened to the audio as well. I did both at the same time. Let's start with the audio. It's narrated in dual format with Aiden Snow and Vanessa Moyen. I love Aiden Snow and think he portrayed Zane well. I swear I have listened to Vanessa Moyen before and enjoyed her narration as well. I think what brought the rating down for me in the audio was the way she portrayed Victoria and Kylie. I know Kylie was only a secondary character in this one, but it irked me how Kylie was 'talking'. On top of that, she had Victoria sounding cocky and entitled, when I want to believe she was a confident young woman.
Now let's move to the book itself. I liked the idea of the storyline. The forbidden, age gap, I always eat these books up. The chemistry between them was undeniable. They were fire together physically. I think the emotional connection missed the mark. I couldn't tell when it went from physical attraction to falling for each other emotionally. I saw tiny glimpses here and there, but not enough for me to say "this is when they fell in love." Another thing was, there is a 15 year age gap between them. While I don't mind big age gaps, I usually like the younger character to be more mature to match the the older character's age. When I was reading and listening to this, I could definitely tell the age difference between the two. If it weren't for the crazy sexual chemistry, I can't see them being together at all. They were opposites and not in the opposite but they make each other better way. Victoria had moments when she rubbed me the wrong way and it made her sound spoiled and entitled. For example, the scene where she's talking to her parent about her room and adding a lockpad on it so no one can get into it. She wasn't my cup of tea. I know this is fiction, but I couldn't imagine Zane and Victoria together. I liked the book, but I was not feral for it, like I couldn't stop listening and reading it. I will still continue the series because I have really liked her other books.

Now let's move to the book itself. I liked the idea of the storyline. The forbidden, age gap, I always eat these books up. The chemistry between them was undeniable. They were fire together physically. I think the emotional connection missed the mark. I couldn't tell when it went from physical attraction to falling for each other emotionally. I saw tiny glimpses here and there, but not enough for me to say "this is when they fell in love." Another thing was, there is a 15 year age gap between them. While I don't mind big age gaps, I usually like the younger character to be more mature to match the the older character's age. When I was reading and listening to this, I could definitely tell the age difference between the two. If it weren't for the crazy sexual chemistry, I can't see them being together at all. They were opposites and not in the opposite but they make each other better way. Victoria had moments when she rubbed me the wrong way and it made her sound spoiled and entitled. For example, the scene where she's talking to her parent about her room and adding a lockpad on it so no one can get into it. She wasn't my cup of tea. I know this is fiction, but I couldn't imagine Zane and Victoria together. I liked the book, but I was not feral for it, like I couldn't stop listening and reading it. I will still continue the series because I have really liked her other books.

Review of advance copy
Do you like a guy who will coach you through it? How do you feel about one night stands - that turn into more? Do you like a sassy FMC who is confident and funny? This is the book for you. Natasha Madison wrote the best couple in Victoria and Zane. There was a bit of yearning and so much forbidden fruit aspects in this. Not only is he the coach of her brother's hockey team, but he's brand new and there are people actively working to make him lose his job - so he needs everything to be above board.
The #OneNightStand happens between the two due to a missed flight and an unexpected house emergency. They were two anonymous strangers who didn't know they had a tie between them. Happenstance brings them back together at her brother's home - to Zane's chagrin. Obviously, he couldn't stop thinking about that beautiful stranger in the five months since their meeting... Only to find her in family pictures.
I enjoyed the side plot of him finding his way as the newest, youngest coach in the league. He was struggling to find his way due to uncooperative staff and players. Constantly working against the grain to find success. Even his early supporters start to play against him throughout the book. Not to mention - some fun interactions between her burly family and this one guy. Granted, Tori can handle herself -- that and her Uncle Nico. I liked her support system. Her family drops everything for her and that is so sweet.
I enjoyed this book. Zane wasn't as funny as Knox, but he definitely had zaddy vibes. Their initial interaction - initiated by Victoria - was so hot. His reactions to her, how he lightens his vibe for her was so fun to watch. As for audio, the dirty things Aiden Snow said in my ears were absolutely blushworthy. I also enjoyed Vanessa Moven's take on Tori. Both voice actors brought these characters for life. Read or listen to this book, both were so worth their time. Run, don't walk, this is worth your time.

Review of advance copy received from Author
Natasha Madison has truly outdone herself with Only For Her, a captivating age-gap, forbidden romance that I simply couldn't put down—I actually doubled up by reading and listening simultaneously just to stay immersed in the story! The journey begins with an electric one-night stand between Zane and Victoria "Tori," only for the universe to play a hilarious trick on them five months later when they realize Tori is the younger sister of one of Zane’s hockey players. From that moment on, the banter is absolutely top tier; Tori is a firecracker who constantly keeps Zane on his toes and her unpredictable dialogue had me laughing out loud more times than I can count. Their chemistry is undeniably white-hot, creating a tension that balances perfectly with the "shenanigans" and subterfuge woven throughout the plot.
While I’ll admit there were moments, I wanted to reach into the pages and shake Zane for obsessing over their age difference, it was beautiful to see how their dynamic shifted during his tumultuous first season of coaching. Rather than being a distraction, Tori becomes Zane’s safe place to land, proving that their connection is far deeper than just physical attraction. The book is rounded out by a fantastic supporting cast that includes some beloved "old favorites" for die-hard fans of Natasha’s previous work. If you’re looking for a story filled with heart, heat, and a heroine who refuses to be ignored, this is a definite five-star read!
The audiobook production of Only for Her is performed by Vanessa Moyen and Aiden Snow. This duo effortlessly brought Zane and Tori to life. Aiden Snow captures Zane’s brooding, protective nature with a perfect gravelly depth, while Vanessa Moyen expertly handles Tori’s unpredictable and spirited personality. Together, they nailed the comedic timing of the "laugh out loud" moments and amplified the "white-hot" tension of the romance, making the entire listening experience incredibly immersive and enjoyable. For fans of the series, this narration adds an extra layer of emotion and heat that makes the story feel even more vibrant. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

April 29, 2026Book: 4.25⭐️
Audiobook: 4.5⭐️
Narrated by:
Vanessa Moyen as Tori to everyone but Victoria only to Zane.
Aiden Snow as Zane AKA Zaddy
I loved this book so much. Victoria had such a great sense of humor but Zane was trying his hardest not to crack. Something about a grumpy being taken down by at least a foot shorter. Her quick one liners were amazing and had me giggling so much.
This starts out as a one night stand but then 5mns later Zane's looking at her standing in his player's living room but he has no idea why. That's when Jaxson introduces him to his little sister Tori. This book was a lot of push and pull. They both are wanting something but Zane is the one to put a stop to it. Even when he says: I want you. I want you so much, you have no idea. Some one still walks away but don't worry they will make it back to each other.
Why you will love this book…
🏒 Hockey Romance
💜 Brother's Coach
🏒 Age Gap (40 X 25)
💜 Forbidden
🏒 One Night Stand
💜 Player's Sassy Little Sister
🏒 Secret Dating
💜 Hates and scowls everyone but her
🏒 Banter
I can say Victoria was more of the pushing of this relationship. She wasn't scared to tell Zane how she felt. He really is taking her care in mind but she doesn't see it that way. She is taking it as rejections. No she doesn't do anything dramatic like you would assume. She just gives him space to choke on. Loved it!!!!
But then Zane says:
All I know is I'm done fighting this thing between us. I'm fing done not being able to touch you, call you. Talk to you, kiss you. I'm done with it all.
That's when they do a hard launch and all heck break's loose. Believe me you will want to be there for it.
I will be relistening to this on release day.
This would have been a 5⭐️ for me but Zane being 40yrs old and not being able to express his emotions brought it down.
Thank you Natasha Madison and The Author Agency for the early copies. Above are my honest thoughts.

ONLY FOR HER
This book is a mishmash of many other books by Natasha Madison:
1. Secret relationship like Something So Irresistible and Something So Unscripted.
2. Family rushing in because of something in the tabloids like Something So Unscripted.
3. One-night stand like Only One Night, with Victoria’s parents, that also had issues caused by the tabloids.
4. Negative publicity from the press, like Only One Forever and Made For Us.
The characters in Natasha Madison’s books are all starting to blur together as they are each just a variation of someone else from a different book. The females are sassy, dress well, rich, confident, have a great career and great friends, and are overall fabulous. Victoria is mouthy like Kylie, just in a different way. The men are all rich and very protective, and they are always speaking up for their women when their fathers or brothers talk to them even remotely harshly.
While there is nothing wrong with this, it does not reflect real life. And while that is a reason why we like reading these books, because we want to get away from real life, it is not easy to relate to the characters who are perfect and have perfect lives.
There doesn’t seem to be much depth to many of these characters. I love how family is important and that they are always there for each other. I also love seeing characters from previous books show up occasionally. But I would like to see something different from Natasha Madison, rather than just characters who are all variations of each other, and situations that are similar to other issues in previous books.
Her books just haven’t been hitting the mark for me recently. All the most recent books seem the same to me. I don’t even finish the books anymore because at some point in the story, it becomes uninteresting. After all, what is the point of reading another book from the same author if you know it’s all just going to be the same as her last one?

Review of advance copy
Well, I can't believe that I'm back already with this, the fourth book in the Only For series.
I've read and loved the rest of this series so far over the last few months and I'm already dreading that the next book will be the last in the series!
In the meantime, Only For Her was such a great read following on nicely from the previous reads and taking us back to the start of the series where we met Jaxon and his family in his story.
Here our focus is on Jaxon's sister, Tori and the new coach of his hockey team, Zane.
After taking a trip to visit her brother, Tori decides to have some fun whilst stuck waiting her next flight home and wakes up from her first one night stand with a hot stranger.
When months later, she moves to town to take up her new job, she is shocked to find Zane having dinner with her brother and that's when the trouble begins.
I loved this storyline as we saw the other side of the hockey plays, taking a peek at the coaching and business side of things.
I actually felt so sorry for Zane as he took his job so seriously, it was literally his life, but the owners clearly had it in for him before he even tried.
When he then couldn't stop thinking about Tori and realising the consequences of revealing their relationship, this added even more pressure.
However, it was so clear to see their chemistry and passion for each other and to see how their contrasting personalities just worked so well to bring out the best in them both.
This was another emotional one but was packed with fun banter and unexpected moments and as usual, the spice was definitely spicing.
I loved Tori's easy going nature and the way she teased Zane (and her brother!).
Another great read and another little teaser at the end which might hint towards our next pairing.
I already can't wait to get my hands on book 5!

✨ARC REVIEW✨ 5⭐️ I’m not exaggerating when I say I literally read this entire book in one sitting!! Zane and Tori share one night together when they’re both staying at the same hotel. They never plan to see each other again…that is until Zane, head coach of the Warriors, shows up for dinner at his players house only to see pictures of him with the same girl. Turns out the girl he hooked up with is his players sister. Zane hasn’t stopped thinking about that night but even though Tori has shown back up in his life she’s even more off limits now…a players sister…15 years younger…there’s no way anything can come of it. But the pull they have isn’t easy to ignore…one thing leads to another and they find themselves sneaking around and giving in to that insane chemistry. Zane is trying to prove himself as the youngest coach in the NHL but things aren’t looking good and he refuses to drag Tori into that. So what happens when everyone finds out…?
I cannot get over this book!! Tori is so incredibly funny and Zane is such a grumpy protector. The dynamic between these two is everything. I simply could not stop reading/listening to this one! Vanessa Moyen and Aiden Snow were the absolute perfect pick to bring these characters alive. I felt so immersed in the story from their narration. They did such an amazing job with this one I couldn’t ask for anything better!! I loved every single aspect of this story from the player’s sister to the age gap to everything in between. This series has been one of my favorites from the beginning and it just keeps getting better!! I cannot wait to see what’s the come in the next one!
Tropes:
✨NHL Coach MMC
✨One Night Stand
✨Player’s Little Sister
✨Age Gap

3.5⭐
Only For Her is book 4 in the Only For series and it can read entirely fine as a standalone. There are a lot of previous character appearances so you definitely benefit from reading in order, but won't feel lost. I really enjoyed Victoria & Zane's story. I was hooked from the start, I did feel like it was a little more instant love/lust than the prior installments in the series, but Natasha made it work. Her writing is just addictive, easy to get lost into, the spice is always top tier and her romances hit just right. She truly brought the heat and the heart with this one.
Victoria is only 25 but she is such a badass, she knows her worth, knows what she deserves and is more mature than her age. Zane is 40 and the youngest coach in the NHL, he did need to get over the age gap before committing. Their chemistry was explosive. Their banter was so good and I enjoyed how their relationship grew. Zane was so swoony once he finally decided to let her in and open his heart. I did wish we had a deeper emotional connection (for me, I did feel it was more heavy on the spice). They still had a great relationship.
Overall, I enjoyed this installment in the series. I loved the characters in this one and how boundaries were pushed. I can't wait to read the next one in the series!
🎧 The narration by Aiden Snow & Vanessa Moyen was so good. They definitely brought all the heat and emotions to the story. Vanessa's voice was perfect for Victoria, soft, young but with some sass. Aiden brought the grumpy, rough and sexy to Zane. I thought their voices blended really well together and I loved listening.

I was given an ARC & ALC in exchange for my honest review.
I love a hockey romance, however I don’t actually think I’ve ever read a sister dating brother coach trope. I liked it! The forbidden romance, the sneaking around, the age gap, so many good elements to make for a great story!
The pacing was good, with lots of tension, yearning, banter and sarcasm! You could kind of forget that there was supposed to be an age gap cause Victoria was well spoken and honestly the one with a level head most of the time. Oh and the spice, Natasha sure knows how to write a spicy scene but it wasn’t too much, just the right amount.
Victoria was a sassy, confident, independent character who was happy to call Zane out on his crap. She made the story for me and I wish I had her confidence!
Zane was a loyal, protective, occasional brute that had good intentions. He was thrust into the head coach role and the way he handled himself with relationships with his co workers was very restrained and poised. The subplot with his assistant coach made me angrier as the story went on, and the conclusion to that situation was pretty fantastic.
The audio for this book was good. Aiden Snow’s deep voice fit Zane so well. You could picture a big dude, with a beard and deep voice, such a good choice for him. Vanessa Moyen is always easy to listen to. She has great animation and inflection in her voice that it feels like you’re having a conversation with her. Both narrators did a fabulous job bringing the story to life and I enjoyed listening during my immersive reading of this book. I listen to my audio books at 1.7x speed and that’s the speed I listened to this one, so pacing is pretty standard.

Only for Her is book four in the Only For series, and like my true chaotic self.. This was my first Natasha Madison book, and it won’t be my last (I am planning and going back and reading from book one because I am so curious to see the other characters' stories)
Anywho! Only for Her follows Zane, the youngest coach in the NHL and Tori, his captain's younger sister (major forbidden vibes and I'm sooo here for it)
These two share a steamy night, no last names are shared, and they go their separate ways.. Until they run into each other again at Tori’s brother's house - talk about awkward.
Tori is a gal who knows what she wants and will not settle for less. She knew her worth and was not going to anyway one get away with treating her less than she deserved, and honestly, I LOVED THAT!! Such a relatable character in so many ways.
Zane or “Coach Zaddy” as some may call him, was everything you can want in a hot, broody hockey coach; he’s all Alpha and extremely closed off!
What I loved about this story is that it truly showed the hardships of this kind of relationship, it's not all sunshine and rainbows and all Zane really wanted was to keep Tori safe and her image unharmed while he’s constantly under watch as the youngest coach in the NHL - it honestly felt like he was dodging issues left, right and centre. Dude could not catch a break!
While this is my first Natasha Madison read, it won’t be my last. I can confidently say it's still an incredible read even if you are going in blind, as it did
