OMG yall VINCE! He has been on my radar for a minute (how could he not with this cover) so I decided to go ahead and start listening to the audio. The narrators were fantastic! This was just such a great read/listen. I could feel the tension between them from the jump. The buildup was pretty epic in this one. I didn't LOVE the idea of using other women to get Maven to make a move, but at the end of the day Vince would come back to her instead of making a mistake. I liked how they pushed each other. These are two characters from opposite sides of the track that actually have a lot in common. I liked the anxiety that Maven experienced because let's be honest- who hasn't had some of those thoughts running through their head. I liked how much Vince kept pushing in the best way. He wasn't taking no for an answer. I also liked that even though he was a playboy he at no point said he wasn't open for a relationship but more that he hadn't found the right person yet. I liked how he was just so much of himself around Maven.
Maven is so close to getting her dream job. She is a social media content journalist and wants to be able to bring awareness to the people that need it in Tampa Bay. She just has to prove herself with her new bosses which starts with a gala for the hockey team. Where she meets none other than Vince Tanev aka Vince Cool. Gosh he just exudes wealthy and snobby. He definitely is only doing this as a PR stunt. Maven thinks she is moving loser to her goal when her bosses let her know that they have struck a deal with the hockey team for her to follow Vince around for a whole month. She has to be with him 24/7. The same guy that pissed her off at the gala. The same one who reminds her of her ex so much. Until he doesnt. Because somehow the community actually knows him. He is kind to them. He has a mini art studio in his condo. He is completely himself around her without hiding anything. He shows her his pregame rituals. And MAN OH MAN is there chemistry. Which she is going to ignore. Until one night she can't. But he sets rules. She has to beg for him. That is the only way he will give in. Well he is going to have to wait for a while...or is he? Because it is becoming clearer and clearer that Maven has met her match in every way.
Vince finds himself immediately drawn to the woman with the yellow dress. He doesn't think he'' ever forget that yellow dress. And he finds himself oddly excited that he gets to spend so much time with her. He finds her intriguing. She fits in with the team. She is down to earth when her walls are down. But for whatever reason she is fighting him. She is fighting this thing between them. He just has to prove to her that he isn't who she thinks he is. They could be together if she would give him a shot.
Favorite Parts:
- the park with Vince's friends
- the reenactment of Ghost scene at the wheel
- the gym at the stadium scene
- when Maven realizes she was wrong about Vince
- how Vince stands up for her
I really enjoyed this intro to a new "world." These characters and ALL of the characters were just fantastic. I am wondering if Livie will get a book? I heard that book 4 is Aleks and then Carter and Coach. Maybe Livie and Coach?? I am here for whatever journey Kandi takes us on. I hope you enjoy this one as much as I did!!
