Meet Your Match follows Maven King and Vince Tanev, two individuals with opposite upbringings and a whole lot of chemistry.
Maven King is a girl with big plans. Her upbringing gave her a strong need to help others. Working in social media lets her showcase people that are trying to make a difference in their own communities. Then, she's given a work assignment for 1 month with full, unfiltered access to Vince Tanev, Tampa's hotshot rookie. Maven suddenly finds herself in extremely close proximity to a man she thinks she knows and hates. Little does she know, there's a lot more to Vince Tanev.
Then there's Vince "Cool" Tanev, the rookie living his wildest dreams. He has access to a more luxurious lifestyle and all the women he could ever want. But, he's got a good head on his shoulders. He knows his dream can be taken away just as quickly as it happened for him. So he works his ass off every day to make sure that it lasts. He always has goals for himself. 'Good' is never enough for Vince. His incredible discipline is just one of the things that shocks Maven once she gets to know him.
I absolutely loved Meet Your Match. The book used a surprising amount of hockey 'lingo,' something I was not expecting. Maven does try to keep her feelings for Vince hidden because of a past relationship with someone from an affluent family. And while her experience is understandable, it does feel like it gets brought up one time too many.
The chemistry between Vince and Maven is fabulous. If you're a fan of the slow burn, this book has you covered. The 'will they, won't they' aspect only intensified as the book went on. And so did the way they taunt each other does. I did see several reviews that disliked the amount of times Vince tries to make Maven jealous. I wasn't happy with him as a character when he did that. But, I did think it was realistic for who he is as a character.
If you're looking for a close proximity, tense hockey romance where the man falls first, this book is a must-read!
