Mine to Have by Natasha Madison

Sweet, funny, steamy, and oozing with romance, Mine to Have is quite literally everything I love about Natasha Madison’s writing. Travis and Harlow’s story is all that I wanted it to be and somehow more, and I couldn’t get enough of it.

These two were college sweethearts, but Travis broke Harlow’s heart by doing what he thought was best for her and her professional future at the time. Since she had once promised to be there on Travis’ happiest day, she finds herself attending his wedding to another woman. But, fate has other plans, and nothing goes right. For reason you’ll find out about, the wedding doesn’t happen, and this story follows Travis and Harlow as they get their second chance together.

I completely adore these characters! Travis may have been a bit of a dummy in the past with breaking up with Harlow, but it didn’t make me love him any less. Really, it might have made me care for him even more. His sweetness and selflessness when it comes to Harlow is amazingly swoony, and his clear love for her and how well he groveled had me rooting for him the whole time. I love how their breakup four years before isn’t merely swept under the rug, and Travis has to really work for her trust again. And Harlow? She’s strong and loveable, and I felt a sort of adoration for her. Travis breaking up with her all those years before took a toll on her, but despite all that she persevered. She’s successful and trying to live her best life, and it’s easy to love her character. However, these two together are simply made for each other and meant to be, and their love is so evident early on.

This story is well paced and thoughtfully written. Madison answers any of your questions you might have, and never was I left wondering why this or that happened. The quality of writing in this book is what I’ve come to expect from this author, and I think it’s probably part of why she’s become one of my favorites. Mine to Have is a second-chance romance, and I find that sometimes that’s a hard trope to do realistically. Not with this book though. Travis and Harlow’s happily ever after is hard fought, and I loved how their story played out.

Mine to Have is without a doubt a must read. This book is well written and filled with exactly the right amounts of angst, love, humor, and swoon-worthy moments, and I can’t recommend it enough.
