Ralph
Being traded to Dallas was a dream come true.
I had everything I wanted, my game had never been better, and my wife was due to have our baby any day now.
What could go wrong?
Everything. I was now raising our baby on my own.
After hockey practice and games, I didn't have time to sleep, let alone make sure my social media was up to par.
I never thought I'd get a second chance at love.

Candace
When my hotshot brother was drafted in the NHL, he didn't have time to do his social media, so I took over for him.
Little did I know it would become my career.
My plate was full with over fifty NHL players, and I wasn't taking on any new clients.
Yet when he showed up on my doorstep with the cutest little girl in the whole world, I couldn't say no.
I was just helping, but it turned into more than that.
He's the man I've been waiting for.
All it takes is one touch, one night, one chance, and only one kiss.

5.0 out of 5 stars emotionally invested
Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2023

"Only One Kiss" took me by surprise and exceeded my expectations for a typical romance novel. While it followed the familiar pattern of two characters initially denying their connection, it offered so much more. The heartwarming story of a single father, Ralph, and his daughter, Ariella, not only captured the heart of the protagonist, Candace, but also stole mine.

Ralph's reluctance to let anyone into their lives, shaped by his experiences in foster care and the loss of his on-again, off-again girlfriend during childbirth, added depth and complexity to the narrative. As a social media expert, Candace's professional life is flourishing, but it is her encounter with Ralph and Ariella at a team barbecue that sparks a whirlwind of unexpected emotions. Offering her guidance becomes so much more as she finds herself falling not just for Ariella, and then Ralph as well.

This book had me completely engrossed from start to finish. The author skillfully addresses real-life events that are often overlooked in romance novels. As the story unfolded, I found myself emotionally invested, shedding tears alongside the characters. I could feel their pain and sadness, but also experienced their moments of pure joy. A truly well-written book has the ability to evoke such powerful emotions, and "Only One Kiss" achieved just that.

I highly recommend this captivating book to any romance novel enthusiast. Its ability to tackle genuine emotions and delve into the complexities of relationships sets it apart. The author's skillful storytelling will keep readers captivated until the very end.

#Sports #SingleDad #Workplace

Book one in this series can be read as a standalone and ends with a HEA. It is written in first person from an alternating dual POV.

Ralph is a single dad to an adorable baby girl. He is struggling to keep it all together. When he needs social media help, and everyone recommends Candace, he is a little reluctant. His attraction to her creates a lot of emotions and highlights a ton of baggage he has to overcome to be in a healthy relationship. I loved seeing him with his daughter. I liked how the author gradually lets the reader get to know Ralph, his past, and his motivations at the same time that Candace is getting to know him. There are a few times when he allows fear to drive his words and actions and I didn't like his behavior. He grows over the course of the book to become the man he needs to be though. (And his name threw me for a loop. Ralph? Seriously?)

Candace is fierce. I adored her character. I love that she was unafraid to stand up for herself and demand better from Ralph. I loved her competency running her business. I love her open affection for the people in her life. I especially loved how fast she falls for baby Ari and how good she is with her. Her strength and her relationship with her family makes her a likable and strong character.

There are plenty of steamy moments. There are romantic times. There is also some heartbreak along the way. In the end, the HEA is sweeter because of the journey to get there. I really want to read more of this series.

Love this book. Love Ralph and Candace’s romance story. Ralph is a single parent and doesn’t date do to his daughter. Candace is a manager of several NHL social media accounts and has sworn off dating people who are her clients. These two first meet at a party that Candace throws. Ralph is trying to get Candace to help him with his social media. Ever since Ralph met Candace, he felt a pull which made him not want to hire Candace to help with his social media. Even though Ralph doesn’t want to hire Candace, everyone told him that the best person to help with his social media is Candace. Candace tells him that she isn’t taking on anymore clients but will help him the best that she can. When Ralph posts a horrible picture and caption, Candace decides to let Ralph be one of her clients. Love how these two end up together. Worth the read

I seriously loved this book so much. It had the perfect amount of happy, sad, sexy, angst, drama. Whatever you can think of, it had it!!! I felt so invested in the story, and I wanted Ralph, Candace and little baby Ariella to get their happy ending. The road to that was so rocky at times. Ralph, sexy hockey player, was ridden with guilt over the death of his baby’s mother. His only focus was his baby girl and her wellbeing. He did not expect to feel so attached to the woman he was hoping to hire as his social media coordinator. Candace was a sought after social media guru that all athletes wanted in their corner. Her focus was that while also daydreaming of the day when she’d have a family of her own, with kids and loving husband. Her attraction to Ralph is wild, and it is definitely returned. They start out as trying to see where it goes, but it turns into drama when he really doesn’t think he is ready for the life she seems to want. He hurts her badly, and she makes him grovel. A lot!!! But they do get their happy ending, and it made my heart happy.

5.0 out of 5 stars I need more of these hockey hotties
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 6, 2020

If you’ve read any of my previous reviews, you know that Natasha is one of my go to authors. Everything she writes is golden, but there are two things she really excels at, Hockey romance and turning hated characters into beloved ones. This story combines both of those.

Far away from New York and the Stone Family, we find ourselves in Dallas where the Oilers have been taken over by the youngest owner in the history of the NHL who is determined to throw out old school and bring together a team of über talented players, one of those being Ralph. He’s a single Dad struggling balancing his professional life with being the best father he can be for his adorable baby daughter Ariella, keeping up with his social media is just one step too far. When he is told he needs to get on that or he will start to lose his sponsorships, he’s introduced to Candace, who he is immediately attracted to, but scars from his past prevent him from doing anything about it to begin with.

You may remember Candace from my man Evan’s book, she’s his sister, who was cruel and disrespectful to Zara as his relationship with her grew, even going so far as to push Evan’s ex into the mix to try and break the pair up. In this story, we meet a very different Candace, all is forgiven for her previous behaviour and she is as close as can be to Zara and the Stone family, and a wonderful aunt to Evan and Zara’s daughter Zoe. Candace has been doing her brother’s social media for years and thanks to his high profile and her own determination and hard work, she’s gained a following and has become the most sought after in her field with a wait list a mile long. But when Candace meets the hot single Dad, whose smouldering blue eyes and beautiful baby daughter captivate her from the moment she meets them, she decides she can squeeze them in for a little help.

I despised Candace after reading, This is Crazy, and couldn’t see how Natasha could redeem her character, but from almost the first page my mind was changed and I not only began to like Candace, I started rooting for her to get her deserved happily ever after, which was perfect by the way.

Ralph is hard and hot headed, with a snappy temper and quick judgements, I wanted to shake him at times, but his unwavering determination to care for his daughter, giving her everything her heart could desire to show her nothing but love, softened me to him. He’s a great father, dealing with so much, along with a gruelling schedule as a professional sportsman, made me fall in love with him, even after he makes a huge mistake.

The attraction between the pair sparks from their first meeting, but both hold back until the heat engulfs them and they can’t stay away any longer.

As always, Ms Madison weaves a painfully beautiful love story which will make you laugh, cry and fall in love along with every other emotion in between.
The new team and it’s members are an excellent addition to the established hockey world she has created and I can’t wait for more of the teams stories, along with Candace’s best friend and more appearances from our beloved Stone family.

Once again Ms Madison has hit it straight into the back of the net. Undoubtedly a 5 star, and a 100% sarah_loves_reading_romance recommended read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful, touching and heartfelt story
Reviewed in Germany on September 1, 2020

Only One Kiss is the first installment in Natasha Madison's brand new hockey series. When she announced that she is writing more books in this genre I was over the moon happy and knew that I'm going to one-click them as fast as lightning. This beautiful, touching and heartfelt story was everything I was hoping for. Single parent stories are my kryptonite and I've devoured this one like my favorite sort of candy. Natasha truly knows how to create pure perfection when it comes to sports romance by delivering an entertaining plot, great dialogue, laugh out loud moments and making you fall hopelessly and irrevocably in love with her intriguing and multi-layered characters.

I've always liked Candace Richards, Evan's sister, although she was mean to Zara in the beginning. But when she saw how happy and in love her brother was, she quickly changed her mind and openly embraced Zara and her big, crazy family in her life. That's when she grew on me. I always hoped that Nat is going to write her story one day and I'm overjoyed that she granted us this wish.

When Ralph Weber was traded to Dallas it was a dream come true. He finally had everything he ever wanted - a great professional hockey player career, an adoring wife and a baby girl on its way. But sadly Cassie died during childbirth and now Ralph is left behind to take care of little Ariella on his own. Therefore he has zero time for dating or for taking care of his social media presence. But when his agent nags him to finally get help by a professional PR in order to score more contracts with sponsors he asks Candace to work for him. She is absolutely gorgeous, smart, hard-working and kind, just everything he admires in a woman. Candace Richards loves what she does and she is very good at it, if not the best. She already has her plate full with over 50 athletes and doesn't plan on taking new clients. Until a handsome and charming single dad with the most adorable little baby girl asks for her help. She simply couldn't say no. It was supposed to be only temporary and stay strictly professional but when lines start to blur and hearts to beat faster it will take only one kiss and touch to make them fall for each other.

I was utterly besotted with sweet little Ariella. Her daddy and me moments were so endearing and incredibly cute they made my heart melt. They were among my favorite highlights of this story. Ralph is hands down one of the best heroes Nat has ever written, mark my words. I worship the ground this man walks on. Despite his own hard childhood and the absence of love in it, he had so much to give to Ariella. He made her his priority, his reason for existing. You could literally feel his emotions for his little princess radiating from the pages. No wonder that Candace fell head over heels for this perfect specimen of a male and his adorable baby girl. She was great with Ariella but that didn't surprise me since Candace is such a caring and loving aunt to little Zoey. I adored her for being understanding and for supporting Ralph and helping him deal with his feelings of guilt and self-doubt. They both were good for each other. They had an explosive chemistry from the start and simply clicked on so many levels. I enjoyed their funny banter and sexy flirting immensely.

I recommend this book from the bottom of my heart! Please, do yourself a favor and read this fantastic story and let this amazingly talented and versatile author put you under her magical spell. I promise, you won't be disappointed. 5+ stars for one of my top favorite reads of 2020.
