Zack
Finding my teammate in bed with my wife made the decision I had been fighting with for years easier.
It’s time to move on.
A fresh start and a new NHL team in a big city. Most importantly, it’s my son Jack’s best shot.
It would be both of our best shots.Denise
After a bad childhood, I made sure I would succeed.
The problem is I die a little with each patient I lose. It’s part of my career at Hudson Children’s Oncology Hospital, but it doesn’t make the sting of loss any easier.
Seeking anything other than a life saved isn’t on my agenda until a NHL player walks into my hospital with his son.We’re officially off script the moment we meet.
If this love is anything, it’s unscripted.
Something So Unscripted is so much more than a love story, it is an all encompassing, engrossing and engaging novel about, love, life and all the moments that make life special.
Oh and just when you think this story can’t get any better the very last line of the book will grab your heart and have the tears flowing yet again in the best way possible.
Wait I should probably tell you something about the book other than Go 1-Click NOW……
This story is a stand alone book set in a world tied to another series by Natasha Madison but NO worries if this blurb grabs you and you have never read this author before please I implore you 1-click; you will not regret it.
As the blurb states NHL player Zack Morrow finds himself with a cheating wife and sick son.
Those events take him to New York, to a new team and the doctor he hopes will save his son’s life, Dr Denise Horton; sound emotional well, it is and then some.
But in miraculous fashion the author’s talent bleeds off the pages as she masterfully weave humor and witty banter into this novel filled with life and death struggles and yes an ex all readers will want to reach into their kindle and strangle.
Side Note Denise is Max Horton’s sister; Max is the hero in Something So Irresistible (a top pick of mine from 2017)
Something so Unscripted brings with it a supporting cast that makes for a world that will have your mind living in it even when you put the book down to you know live your life.
Jack, Zack’s son was so well crafted; Zack’s parents added so much to this story, Denise’s brother Max and his family make for so much wonderful dialogue; the Stinger men, from the players to the Head of PR Olivier added levity …. it all kept me glued to my kindle!
The banter between the men was so good; Zack and Max (Denise’s brother) and Zack and Matthew (Zack’s teammate and Matthew’s brother in law) at times has me laughing out loud.
As Zack and Denise fall in love the reader bears witness to it; the slow burn which perfectly fit for the circumstances allows the reader to not just root for this couple but experience love along with them.
And then Denise and the reader also fall in love with Jack; a little boy who opens up and blossoms in his new home and surrounded by his new friends; your heart will melt for this little boy.
Weaving two careers into one life and the ethical boundary of falling for your patients father was done with true professionalism both by the author and the characters.
The author took a serious subject matter, blended it with a love story and with acts of charity and giving made the characters both vulnerable and even more well rounded.
These characters as beyond well crafted, more than just hockey players who fall in love; they are friends; fathers and good citizens who give back to the community. Ok not telling you anymore about the plot…READ THE BOOK.
This book is 5 stars and then some; this is one of the best books I have read and I know this story and these chararactrs will stay in my heart for years to come.
The range of emotions the author pulls from the reader is a true testament to her skill.
It has been so enjoyable to watch Ms Madison grow as an author; this book will pull at your soul and make you believe in true love.
This book will most definitely be on my Top Picks List for 2018!
