Meet Your Match by Kandi Steiner

5.0

This was my first book by this author, and it didn't disappoint.

Maven works in social media and has been hired to document every aspect of the new hot shot rooky Hockey Player, Vince Tanev's, life for a month. This includes moving into his apartment. If that wasn't already a bit awkward, she hates him because she thinks he is stereotypical as "rich prick." She couldn't be more wrong. I fell in love with Vince Tanev hard and fast. Despite being a slightly cocky pro hockey player, he is incredibly sweet! Maven projects her feelings towards her ex, who was also a pro athlete, onto Vince. Despite her clear distain towards him, Vince falls for Maven fast. The more she seethes at him, the more he wants her.

I could not get enough of these two and their banter. This is a slow burn, but the sexual tension between these the characters was hot. Once that tension finally breaks, it was epic. The smutty scenes in this live in my head rent-free. There is a scene in front of a mirror, on a weight bench, while making pottery...not to mention Tanev has a mouth on him and calls Maven Pet (pants). However, don't worry, she gives it as good as she gets it and makes him say please.

I really liked the side characters and look forward to their books!

I took off some points because Maven started to annoy me. She needed to let her shitty ex go and realize how amazing of a guy Vince was. He was top-tier book boyfriend level.

This was the first time I listened to a book narrated by Edward Black or Megan Wicks. They were both fantastic, and I hope I come across books they have narrated again!
