very cute, but the amount of red flags was frightening

I am so in awe of Kandi’s writing.
I felt every single emotion as if it were my own. through Maven and Vince’s growth, I fell deeper in love with them.
I related to Maven in so many ways. We all feel insecure sometimes or just “less than”, whether it was the way people made us feel or the way we see ourselves. Her feelings of not being enough to be in Vince’s life hit close to home and drew me in as I read, often with tear-filled eyes, her story and watched her grow.
It takes a talented author to be able to draw readers in like that— to make us feel like we are a part of the story too.
Here’s to the first of many Kandi Steiner reads

Kandi Steiner has once again captured our hearts with her latest novel, MEET YOUR MATCH. As an avid reader of her books, I was ecstatic to hear she would be dipping her toes in hockey and she did NOT disappoint!
One of the most intriguing aspects is the dynamic between Vince and Maven. Their head-butting and constant clashes only serve to fuel their desire for one another, creating an undeniable chemistry that leaps off the pages. Steiner weaves this tension throughout the narrative, making it a driving force behind the characters' development and their journey towards love.
Vince's approach to pursuing Maven is refreshing. Instead of being overly pushy, he patiently waits for the right moments to break down her defenses. This aspect of his character is commendable, as it shows a deeper understanding and respect for Maven's boundaries. It's this combination of persistence and restraint that makes Vince an endearing and well-rounded character.
However, Maven's wishy-washy attitude did pose some moments of frustration for me. While her resistance is understandable, as she previously had her heart broken and taking on a rookie hockey star is definitely terrifying, there were times when she knowingly put herself in situations with Vince that she knew would inevitably become steamy. It happens in all romance books, this is no different, but her inability to move forward with Vince, even after these “breakthrough” moments was infuriating.
Overall MEET YOUR MATCH is another testament to Kandi Steiner's prowess as a romance author. Her ability to write from a romantic female gaze perspective is truly captivating, and Vince's character adds a refreshing element to the story. While Maven's wavering attitude may cause occasional frustration, the overall experience of this novel is engaging and satisfying. If you're a fan of Steiner's previous works or simply enjoy a hockey dense romance novel, MEET YOUR MATCH should definitely be on your reading list!!

My first Kandi book
I know I know! How could I wait so long?! Honestly it's because I've heard that Kandi is like the Queen of angst and angst gives me so much anxiety! But I am so glad I decided to read this. The angst was just right! The spice! Sweet lord the spice was top tier. I can truly say that I'm a Kandi Steiner fan. Thank you for sharing your gift with us.

Omg. Kandi, our queen!!!!
Babe you did it again. This time ✨hockey edition ✨
I don’t think people realize how immersive the books Kandi writes are. You don’t just fall in love with the main character’s but with the side characters as well. They all have importance and meaning into the world that make the book really come to life.
Vince and Maven were the perfect enemies to lovers couple I’ve read in a while. Their angst chemistry is unmatched.
Also can we talk about the pottery scene?!

okay wow Vince is the dream
Vince and Maven are the definition of goals. Maven has been hurt in the past by a guy who was a wealthy athlete and a total jerk and she assumes the worst of Vince right from the start but Vince is a golden retriever personified and doesn’t deserve her ire from the start. They pushed each other’s buttons and the tension was beautiful. Vince was mostly patient while Maven worked through her issues and those times he wasn’t so patient were

cute story with really cute characters. sometimes the fmc was kind of annoying, but outside of those points, all the characters were great!
This was a quick read but quite enjoyable ! Maven and Vince were both the cutest things ever but don't think for a second it doesnt get
