Received this as an ARC from the Author Agency and Veronica Eden
One of my favorite 5 star reads this year! When I tell you this book had me giggling and kicking my feet I 100% mean it. Cole Kincaid has entered top 5 book boyfriends for me.
If you love:
- she’s the coach’s daughter and the coach is his boss
- golden retriever MMC
- hockey romance
- brothers best friend
- she falls first and he falls harder
- secret relationship
- friends to lovers
Then I would add this Christmas romance to your TBR!!!

4.5 stars! Loved the ADHD representation. This was such a fun book to read, and I'll probably end up rereading it sometime this year. Cole and Evie work really well together. All in all, this was a great hockey romance and definitely not a Christmas book.

Complicated
A feel good, super spicy, beautiful book that hit all the feels. Matching All the Way is one of those stories that gives hope to true love and that anything is possible with your love by your side. I couldn't stop smiling or blushing through the entire book!
Setting the spicy scenes aside, I saw so much of my oldest daughter within Eve. This girl really hit the emotional feels for me on a personal level. Learning how to overcome doubts, finding self worth, and shedding other people's views on her neurodivergent disorder, namely ADHD, especially when you are a girl, is a tough road. Having understanding and loving people in your corner goes a long way to overcoming those internal struggles along with someone by your side to help talk through goals and reminders that work for them. Eve hadn't had that for a long time, until she had Cole by her side and wow...did she flourish.
As for Cole, he finally found his place when he returned to Heston Lake. Taking the Asst. Coach position for the college hockey team Cole, for the first time in his life, finally found his niche, but it was only temporary unless he proved himself to the head coach, who also happened to be Eve's father. No problem, on the job front, but perhaps he shouldn't lust after his daughter. Oops. Cole is so sweet working with the team, but he also thrived when he was helping Eve too. He is so good talking through struggles and their relationship blossomed from friendship into something more, yes, I'm talking about a side benefit of steamy, spicy, smoldering hot, hot smexyness. Whew...these two basically melted my kindle.
This book reads as a complete standalone within the Heston U universe and is such a feel good book you can't go wrong picking it up this holiday season.
