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?

Natasha Madison has done it again. She has written a story that is all-consuming. One that you can’t put down. One that will make your heart so FULL!
Justin Stone is EVERYTHING! He’s going to make your knees weak and he will turn your heart to mush! I think he’s my favorite Natasha Madison character yet!
Natasha’s words will wrap around your mind and your heart. She carries us on one emotional ride!
I will extend my review on release day.
Y’all NEED this book!
Highly, highly recommended!!
*I was given a free advanced copy of this book by the author in exchange for my honest and voluntary review.*
I really loved this book so much it great from start to finish
I can’t believe This Is Forever (which can be read as a stand-alone) is the final book in the This Is series. As much as I hate to let the series go as well as the beloved characters, I’m glad it’s ending on an incredible high note as Natasha Madison certainly saved the BEST for last. Justin Stone has stolen my heart as well as Caroline and her son Dylan. Ms. Madison did a superb job of writing characters and a story that you can’t help but fall in love with. Trust me when I say that This Is Forever is 100% EVERYTHING!!
Justin, the youngest child of Cooper and Parker Stone has followed in the family’s footsteps and is now a professional hockey player. Caroline, is an admirable single mom filled with strength beyond belief and her eight year old son Dylan, a talented hockey player, happens to be enrolled in Justin’s hockey summer camp. The story really takes off when Justin and Caroline encounter each other and from that point on, it’s literally dominate alpha vs. stubborn heroine. Their story has so much depth and meaning that captures your heart and will have you begging for more beyond “The End”.
This Is Forever is a wonderful and amazing love story that really tugged at my heart strings. It has a perfect harmony of romance, heat, passion and humor. The cast of characters from the Something So and This Is series made this excellent book even more entertaining. It’s my absolute favorite book in this series and a definite MUST read!!
What a wonderful book!! This is Forever is that one of kind book you need to read. Page after page I was consumed with this story. Natasha Madison has quickly become one of my favorite authors. My absolute favorite so far.
This is Forever by Natasha Madison is the fourth book in the This is series and tells the story of Justin, the youngest of the Stone family children and Caroline, a single mom struggling to make ends meet. This is Forever can be read as a stand-alone, but I would recommend you read the others, as many of the previous characters are included in this book.
Caroline and Dylan, her 8 y/o son meet at Justin’s hockey summer camp. From the moment I started this book, I fell in love with this story and with Justin. He will do anything to help them, but Caroline is struggling with a drug-addicted ex and trying to make ends meet. Every gain she makes often gets reversed, as life just won’t give her a break. Until she meets Justin who wants to take care of both of them and treats Dylan as his own.
This was my favorite of the series and from the moment I started, I did not want to put the book down. Justin and Caroline do get their HEA, after some bumps along the way and I was smiling when I finished. I do hope that this is not the end of the series and Ms. Madison will write more books in the series. This is a book not to be missed!

AMAZING!!! That is the one word I can say to describe This Is Forever.
This book was my favorite of this series. It was emotional and heartfelt, but also had me laughing out loud. Natasha even had me tearing up at certain points of the story.
I have absolutely LOVED this Stone clan. This family truly is the meaning of family. Whether it’s by blood or not, they look out for one another. And that is no different for Justin when he meets Caroline and her son Dylan. These three characters truly captured my heart right from the start.
This Is Forever is the fourth book in the This Is Series by Natasha Madison. It is told in Dual POV. This series can be read in any order, but I would recommend reading them in order. This is a spin off of her Something So Series. This series focuses on the children of Parker and Cooper Stone. You DON’T have to read the other series to enjoy this one. But I will say once you meet this Stone family you are going to want to read all their stories!!!
In this book we follow Justin Stone (the youngest of the Stone children) and Caroline. Justin is a professional hockey player who has followed in the steps of his dad, Cooper Stone and his older brother, Matthew Stone. During his summer off he has started a foundation to help underpriveledge kids who don’t have the opportunity to play hockey, by offering a hockey summer camp. Caroline is a single mother who doesn’t have much, because of her deadbeat ex-husband. But she works two jobs and scrimps whatever she can to make sure her son can play hockey, the sport he loves and excels at. So when Dylan (Caroline’s son) has the opportunity to go to Justin’s summer camp, she and Dylan are both thrilled. Little did any of them know how much that summer camp would change their lives!!!
I LOVED seeing all of the Stone family again. Being with this family is like coming home.
If you are a fan of Natasha’s and have read and loved her Something So series, then you definitely don’t want to miss this series. Or if you are a fan of a sports romance, then this is one you will want to read!!! It is the perfect mix of humor, drama, emotions and hockey. Add this to your TBR list now!!!
From the first chapter Natasha had me sucked in. What a way to ring in the New Year! If her writing in this one is any indication of what she has in store for us this year, we are certainly a lucky bunch!
This story deserves way more than 5 hockey pucks, I could not put it down!
So we meet Justin Stone, off for the summer, but runs a hockey camp for a month. When he meets Dylan and his mom Carolyn, he’s immediately taken with them. Even more so when he see’s what Dylan can do on the ice.
Carolyn is basically a single mom, her ex husband only comes around when he’s run out of money for his next fix, and steals from them. When her car breaks down, then she loses her job, Justin is right there to help them out, but shes stubborn, she doesn’t want to be someones charity case.
Will Justin wear down her defenses and make her believe that he is here to stay? Can he make her see that he is just what her and Dylan need in their lives?
This story pulled at my heart strings, I felt for Carolyn & Dylan, the hurt, the struggles they had. Great job Natasha and I’m looking forward to everything you’ve got coming this year!
At 18% of “This Is Forever”, I was crying (in a good way) and I rarely, if ever cry when reading. But then again, I’ve never, ever come across a man as sweet, loving and sexy as Justin Stone before. The man is everything and when he falls instantly and confusingly in love with Caroline and her son Dylan my heart was both hurting and excited at the same time. Caroline is beautifully broken, keeping it together by a string, but she is strong, loving and dedicated. When these two meet, the chemistry between them is explosive. I absolutely loved everything about this book and cannot give it enough stars. This.book.is.everything. TBR it and keep the tissues handy. (I read an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review.)
This has probably been my most anticipated read since we learned Justin was getting a book. The problem with high expectations is that most times they don’t deliver but let me tell you something – this book not only delivered but blew me away.
Justin is simply perfect. He both mix of his father and his brother with his huge heart and his fireness when protecting the ones he loves. And boy did he love Caroline and Dylan. It was hard reading her struggles and seeing how she refused to accept the help he was offering.
The way he loved them just make me so happy I don’t have words for it.
This just wasn’t enough – I need and WANT more!!! This book and this series officially made Natasha Madison my favourite author!

5 Stars
5 stars plus
My mind and heart is officially blown away by This Is Forever.
It is a MUST READ!!
I’m almost speechless….I laughed, I shed so many tears and couldn’t read as the words blurred in front of me.
The whole storyline captivated me that I read it in one sitting!!
It’s a profoundly beautiful story where struggles and family really play such a huge roll in Justin and Caroline’s book.
Justin Stone is a man with an absolute heart of gold. The ultimate book boyfriend and knight in hockey armor!
I had such a smile on my face as he was so incredibly caring and thoughful to Caroline and her son.
The words penned in this story will forever be ingrained in my heart and soul.
Caroline has a difficult life and when her son starts in a hockey camp that Justin runs, needless to say Caroline is in for the ride of her life. They both are,
I loved everything EVERYTHING about this book and so far this year it’s my top read!!
The ultimate romance story indeed!!
Justin Stone is a professional hockey star and part of a famous hockey family. On his off time he decides to coach at Justin Stone’s Summer Hockey Camp for underprivileged kids. He never thought he would find a connection with one of his student’s mom, Caroline Woods. As a single mom, Caroline did everything she could for her son, Dylan. When she meets her son’s new coach she can’t believe her eyes…or her racing heart. She has a past she can’t seem to run from. Can he stay professional and just coach her son or will their feelings grow too much to for either to ignore. Can they really make it work or will her past get in the way? From the very first page I was drawn into this sweet story and could not put it down. You will definitely have all the feels with this one. If you are a fan on slow burn, single mom romances this is for you. Justin is such a sweetheart!! Told in dual POV
This is Forever is the fourth in the This Is series by Natasha Madison and it was amazing!!
This book gave me all the feels. It’s so beautiful and emotional. Natasha broke my heart and then mend it back together and made me swoon so hard.
Caroline is one of the strongest women I’ve read. This poor girl broke my heart and at the same time made me so proud of her. An amazing young single mother who even though heartbreaking situations, she kept going for her son.
Dylan. That boy took my heart. So sweet. Loved his relationship with Justin.
Justin…I want a Justin..swooooon..
Justin is definitely a Stone. He was amazing!! Sweet, Alpha, protective and caring. He was perfect.
My new book boyfriend from all Natasha’s books.
This is Forever is an amazing end to a wonderful series.
