CarolineBecoming a teen mom at sixteen was not what I expected, but then again, neither was being a single parent. Still, I wouldn’t change my past because that boy is my world.Hockey is the only thing my son seems to care about, so I work two jobs to make sure he can play. I’d do anything to make sure he doesn’t suffer because of the bad decisions his father made.When he won a whole summer of … won a whole summer of hockey training, I knew in my heart he was going to have an amazing time.
What I wasn’t prepared for was meeting his new summer coach. He was magnetic, powerful, and a player—in all forms of the word. If my life had taught me anything up to this point,
it was how to avoid making bad decisions, and Justin Stone was the definition of a bad decision.
I could never be a woman his family approved of. Even if I wished I could be. [JS1]
Justin
Growing up as the son of a hockey God is one thing. Growing up as the brother of a second hockey God is another. I had big skates to fill, so it was a good thing I loved every second of it.
Summer was my off time, my time to let loose, but when they ask me to coach a hockey camp for underprivileged kids, I couldn’t say no.
But when she walked in holding a little boy’s hand, my heart stopped beating. Or maybe it started for the first time. T
hey were a package deal, and I knew this—wanted it more than I’ve ever wanted anything. It didn’t take long to realize that no matter what happened,
I would do anything to protect them.
She is the only one I want to be with.
When push comes to shove, I have to prove to everyone that this is my choice, and This is Forever.
[JS1]This seems awkward. Can you just delete?

Good storyline. Enjoyed reading this.
Great read. Highly recommend.
Loved it!!
Having read the other books in this series…I loved the book and the way it developed.
I would recommend it
I really loved this book. I’m looking forward to reading other books by this author!
Holy Cow!!!! I read this book in half a day!! I couldn’t put it down. It was so good! This story pulled me in from the beginning and I just couldn’t put it down.
Jeremy and Caroline’s story is so powerful and moving. Caroline’s story is so heart wrenching. And Dylan… he will steal your heart throughout the whole book!
I’m wishing Natasha continues and we get to hear about all the Stone Clan Grandkids’ happily ever afters.
(More books please)
Such a great story! Definitely read this book.
l love the strong female characters in Natasha’s books.
Enjoyable read, Justin Stone a White Knight with family values.
Omg. This is hands down a beautifully written book. It is a roller coaster of emotions. Funny, hate, understanding, pain, and love. You will Absolutely fall in love with all three. Justin and Caroline relationship is written in typical Stone men fashion, but Dylan character puts it over the top. Love him and can’t wait for his book (wink wink). This. Is. A. Must. Have.
This is the first book by Natasha Madison I have engrossed myself with, I was not disappointed. This was a charming, sweet, and beautifully romantic journey to go on with Caroline and Justin. I enjoyed every moment of this story. Cannot wait to read more from this author.
What a great read. Really had me drawn in from the very beginning. Just and Caroline’s story with sweet Dylan was so well written. Definitely will be reading more from the author.
Love this series
3 STARS
I ADORE the Stone Family. From the beginning of The Something So Series I have been head over heels for this family! Cooper and Parker, Matthew, the twin girls and now Justin getting his HEA! I couldn’t wait to dive I this and I loved catching up with them all. In This is Forever we meet Caroline. A struggling single mom doing her best to give her son a stable life and Justin the youngest Stone and insanely talented hockey star. I LOVED Justin. He was sweet and insanely protective. He is charming, and has all the Stone charm that fans of the ‘Something So’ Series will love. Sadly this one missed the mark for me. It is DRAMA filled and I could not stand Caroline. She was a doormat with her ex. She was a coward and put her son in harms way by not standing up to her ex and putting him in his place. She lacked confidence and drive. I appreciate that she was doing the best she could for her son given her circumstances but she just wasn’t the match that I envisioned for Justin. This story had a strong Cinderella feel to it. Justin was Caroline’s true night and shining armor. I did enjoy the end and that epilogue was one of the sweetest I have ever read.
Wow!
Although the relationship between Justin and Caroline was amazing – it was definitely Dylan who stole my heart. I always love a good single parent love story and this one melted my heart. With a touch of InstaLove, it rounded out the perfect ending to this series. Now I hope Natasha goes the next Generation Stone Family – with Dylan, Michael, Alex, and the whole gang. I’m not ready to let the Stone Family go!
Holy heartache!! This was my favorite of the series. This Is Forever was the 4th book in Natasha’s This Is series. It can be read as a stand-alone if you want to jump in the series. It was heartbreaking but so sweet and extremely sexy!!
Caroline became a mom at a young age but wouldn’t change it for the world. Her son was her everything. She worked herself ragged to make sure he didn’t want for anything. Her luck seemed to turn around when he got in to a hockey camp but her life quickly started falling apart. Would she except help or would she be stubborn enough to continue to do it all by herself?
Justin was asked to coach a summer hockey camp during the off season. He wasn’t expecting to find a woman he couldn’t get out of his mind. When her world started to crumble, he wanted to help pick up the pieces. Would she let him in or push him away?
What an amazing journey! I was not prepared for all the emotions but absolutely loved every minute!! Justin and Caroline’s relationship was so beautiful, it built slowly but steadily. Caroline was such a strong woman and Justin with Dylan…all the feels!!
4th book in the “ this is” series that can be read as a stand alone. I haven’t read the previous books and that wasn’t a problem.
Caroline is a single mum who struggles to provide the best for her son Dylan. Dylan has a chance to go to hockey summer camp for free hosted by player Justin Stone.
Justin comes from a family of hockey players and wants to make a difference by creating a hockey camp for disadvantaged kids. The first time he sees Caroline he is instantly attracted to her and can’t help to be
close to her every time they meet. He wants to help her with all her problems but she keeps pushing Justin away. Her life is very complicated, she doesn’t want to involve anyone else, too bad Justin is not gonna give up that easily.
Oh my! I would give this book allllll the stars if I could! I can tell you right now that this will be one of my favorite books this year!!! This needs to be on everyone’s tbr!!! I loved the entire series but this one is my favorite! I just loved everything about it! Well done Natasha!!!
Received an arc for an honest opinion
GAH!!! I don’t even know where to start with this book. This Is Forever, is perfect! I have no doubt it will be one of my top reads for 2020. Natasha Madison gave me everything I would expect from this series and so much more. This book is filled me with so many different emotions, I don’t even know which one to start with. It’s no secret I love all things Stone related coming from Natasha Madison. Cooper Stone is one of my favorites ever, but he may have just been dethroned by his own son.
Natasha Madison has left my heart feeling so full! This Is Forever is filled with so many real life, painful issues. Madison did not hold anything back while writing Justin’s book. My heart hurt so much for Caroline and Dylan. I had tears in my eyes while reading certain parts of this book. Drug addiction is a huge issue in the world and we never really stop to think about what it does who are faced with knowing an addict. Natasha Madison gave us a first hand look at how it affects others, and the pain it causes. Justin coming into Dylan’s life was the best thing that ever happened to him, but also made that little boy realize what a father should do and how he should not be. Sometimes you don’t know what you’re missing until you have it, and for Dylan he didn’t know what a father should be like until Justin came in and loved him instantly.
Caroline Woods is a single mother trying to make ends meet. Her past is filled with pain, and won’t leave her alone. When her son gets an invite to the Justin Stone Summer Hockey Camp, she didn’t know her life would never be the same again. Justin Stone the 24 year old hockey star, son of hockey legend Cooper Stone had no idea that his hockey camp would change his life forever. Sometimes all it takes is one look and you know, for Justin that is exactly what happen.
Caroline had a past that wouldn’t leave her alone, and a present filled with one disappoint after the next. She was a single mother living in a one bedroom apartment with no air in the summer and barely getting by. She would do anything and everything for Dylan. Dylan’s father is not a good person, he comes and goes and leave disaster in his wake. Caroline is stuck in trying to figure out what. Justin Stone is a hot as hell, hockey player with more money than he ever needs. He is instantly drawn to both Caroline and Dylan. He knew what he wanted and he wasn’t going to take no for an answer. The magnetic pull he had to both Caroline and Dylan was amazing. Caroline and Justin’s relationship was definitely a slow burn, lots of build up. But I have to say it made me love Justin even more. He wasn’t in the relationship for sex, she stayed at his house sleeping in a different bed for days.
This Is Forever is the most emotional book of the This Is Series. Natasha Madison delivered a well-written, captivating book, that had me addicted from the start. Justin, Carline, and Dylan each stole a piece of my heart with this book. Justin and Caroline were perfect, but I cannot forget about Dylan. What an incredible little boy he was. I cried fsad tears for him when he realized things he was too young to have to understand, and I cried happy tears for him when he got Justin. THIS BOOK IS EVERYTHING!! Natasha Madison went above and beyond with this and I cannot wait to see what she gives us next. Yes, all the Stones do make an appearance in this book.
This was the best book I have read!!!!
From a personal point of view I loved how Natasha handled drug abuse. Yes it bought a lot of memories of my nephew. BUT she did this book a lot of justice.
Even though this was Caroline and Justin’s story I truly loved Dylan. My heart broke for him more times them I can count and when he was happy I was happy for him. The Stone family is the best
“The good thing about the heart is that it just grows with all the love you have.”
“Family means protecting them, and most importantly, it means loving them with everything that you are.”
This Is Forever is the fourth book in the series and the story of Justin, the baby of the Stone family.
Man, somebody catch me because I’m swooning; SWOONING! Justin Stone, in my opinion, rightfully earned his spot in my book boyfriend list because this guy, whew, he is a fucking dreamboat! His love for Caroline and her kid, Dylan will melt your heart, along with your panties, into a puddle. After reading this heart-warming, emotional (I may have cried a lot so be ready with the box of tissues!), sports romance, I think that every woman needs a Justin Stone in her life. Le sigh.
I loved it and again, another must read for fans of this author!
