Something So Right : An Age Gap Sports Romance (Something So Book 1)
NATASHA MADISON SUPER-BARGAIN ALERT!!
Colleen: …the extended family story line sucks you in and the family dynamics are great. The guys in the family all play hockey so there are hockey scenes in each book but the women are so beautifully written and there’s lots of not-hockey stuff going on too. I definitely recommend starting with “Something So Right” which is the story of the family matriarch/patriarch.
Kathy: My favorite insta-love book is Natasha Madison’s Something So Right. I love this series as they are all strong male characters who know right away that she is it for them!
Kooloo: Oh oh I just finished, “Something So Right” by Natasha Madison definitey had a wanna slap a b*tch moment!!! Teehee

In fact, their meet cute led to a friendship she never saw coming. Of course, she never saw his betrayal coming, either…
Now Dax needs her help…”
Tessa: Meet Cute just looks fun to read. 😀
Leslie M: I just read Meet Cute and liked it. But it’s not as “fun” as cover implies. It is more like a regular CR than a romcom.
