This book was sucha light, fun and spicy read. I really wanted this after the trauma my last read was. Cole and Eve were just everything. Like their chemistry was fire and also I love how fluffy they were. AHH COLE KINCAID, U WERE JUST WOW. THE GREENEST OF GREEN FLAG. GET ME A MAN WHO LISTEN TO AUDIOBOOK OF ONE OF MY TRASHY ROMANCE BOOKS WITH ME. Also Eve was so cute, I love how bubbly she was. 😍

ARC Review
Matching All The Way by @veronicaedenauthor
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My first hockey romance did NOT disappoint. I loved this book so so so much. It was full of young love, brothers best friend, coaches daughter, hidden romance, etc. Cole Kincaid is the most perfect book boyfriend and Eve is the most accurate neurodivergent character I’ve ever encountered in a book.

The spice was SPICY and I loved every single second of it.

If you love a cinnamon MMC with nothing but green flags, do yourself a favor and pick this one up! Prepare to fall in love and live happily ever after!

"'I remember your personal vendetta against gravity.' 'That sounds way cooler then saying I'm naturally clumsy!'"

"This fierce protectiveness charged with the barely contained threat of violence shouldn't be a turn on, yet it is."

Don't let the sweet winter cover fool you - the mouth on Cole Kincaid is

What a fun one to read! Eve and Cole were so easy to fall for and they are so cute together it was just the best thing to see their relationship evolve and realize how they were such a great match together. The story spanned over a little more than a year so we really got to see things change between the characters and how they got closer which I enjoy quite a lot. Cole is truly amazing and the way he is so comprehensive with Eve and always had her back for all this time just makes you love him more. Eve's family is such a nice one, I just loved their vibe a lot and I really enjoyed the side characters in the story, which makes me look forward to reading the Heston series!

This is honestly the book to pick if you are looking for something to cheer you up, with no big drama or third act break-up, it's a sweet story full of love and of course full of spice!

Thanks to the author for the eARC, all opinions are my own.

Yalllllllll, I’m starting 2024 off STRONG! Matching All the Way by Veronica Eden is everything I wanted it to be and more! 
🏒
Cole Kinkaide is back in Heston Lake after he gets a call from the head coach of Heston U to become the new assistant coach. He couldn’t be more excited to be doing something he’s passionate about and being welcomed back by Coach Lombard’s family including his best friend Benson and his sister, Eve.
🧶
Eve Lombard is a free spirit with a crafty personality, ADHD and a crush on her brother’s best friend and dad’s new coach. Recently single she’s been crushing on Cole for years. Determined to not be lonely during the holidays she downloads a dating app. Just her luck, she matches with the off limits assistant coach she wants. 
🏒
Will Eve and Cole be able to resist each other? And if not, it can only end in disaster right?
🧶
Y’all, I swooned, I kicked my feet giggling and I BLUSHED! Cole Kinkaid is a dirty talker and Eve is just as sassy as she is adorably relatable! Highly recommend!

This book was adorable and i fell in love with the characters instantly! I have missed my hockey romance and I liked the fact this was a bit different as the MMC used to play ice hockey but is now a coach for the college team the FMC’s dad runs. Cole is the biggest cinnamon role when it comes to Evie but damn does he also get protective of her when someone tries to upset or harm her. The spice in this was pretty good and i loved the text messages throughout! I don’t know what it is but i love when we get text conversations in a book too! Evie dealt a bit with her ADHD and how her ex treated her because of the way she is but i loved Cole helping to build her up again. This book felt really lighthearted and i loved all the jokes we had not only between the two MC’s but also with the Heston U hockey team! I also loved seeing all the players again and its made me want to reread iced out to see them all again!!!
