Publisher's summary

One Month with Vince Tanev: Tampa’s Hotshot Rookie

Twenty-four-seven access on and off the ice.

The headline says it all, and my bosses are over the moon when the opportunity of a lifetime lands in my lap. Of course, they aren’t aware that I’ve already met Vince Cool at an all-star gala—and that we were at each other’s throats the entire time.

It doesn’t matter that he’s the kind of hot that shows God has favorites—messy brown hair, heated hazel eyes, the smirk of a rockstar, and a scar over his eyebrow that makes every woman particularly feral.

He’s a rich, cocky playboy—a brand I’m all too familiar with, and one I’m determined to never be around again.

But after my coverage of the gala stirs up buzz, the team’s General Manager and my CEO strike a deal. To help fill the arena at home games, I’ll get up close and personal with Tampa’s new shiny toy. Whether he’s at practice, playing in a game, partying, or drinking coffee half-naked in his condo—I’ll be there for all of it.

Vince gets under my skin like no one else. It isn’t long before that paper-thin line between hate and lust blurs, and being around him every waking minute of the day leaves no chance to escape his devilish stare.

The air crackles between us. The tension is hot enough to melt my inhibitions.

But I know the way this story ends. I’ve lived it once before.

As much as I work to guard my heart, my body is a traitor—and if this man puts his hands on me, I know I’ll submit to desire.

I thought one month with Vince Tanev was a game I could win easily.
But I might have just met my match.

Hockey Romance Perfection

I am in love!!! Vince….sigh…that man is everything. Top book boyfriend people.

I ate this book up!!! Like why did I wait so long to read this!?!? As soon as I found out it was pro hockey…I immediately downloaded the audiobook and whew were my ears happy with me LOL. Thank you friends for enlightening me.

What to expect:
•Hockey Romance
•Opposites Attract
•Workplace Romance
•Reformed Playboy
•He Falls First

The tension and forced proximity in this book had me SWOONING so hard!! And Vince dishing out those hand necklaces…SO HOTT!!! Yes…that’s hot with TWO Ts. He was such an alpha man, but the way he was with Maven and all the little things he did for her made me melt.

Vince and Maven’s connection was absolute perfection. I loved how their relationship developed throughout the book. I loved the guys on the team and how they were with Maven. And I loved Vince’s family. And yes…I already cannot wait to read Daddy P’s book!!

Do yourself a favor and if you haven’t read this book yet…start it immediately!

Gotta love hockey romance!

“𝑬𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒃𝒆𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒃𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒌 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒘𝒉𝒊𝒕𝒆, 𝒂 𝒎𝒐𝒏𝒐𝒄𝒉𝒓𝒐𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒄 𝒆𝒙𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆.”
“𝑨𝒏𝒅 𝒏𝒐𝒘?”
“𝑵𝒐𝒘, 𝒊𝒕’𝒔 𝒂 𝒌𝒂𝒍𝒆𝒊𝒅𝒐𝒔𝒄𝒐𝒑𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒄𝒐𝒍𝒐𝒓,” 𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒂𝒊𝒅 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒂 𝒌𝒊𝒔𝒔. “𝑫𝒊𝒛𝒛𝒚𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒎𝒂𝒅𝒅𝒆𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒃𝒆𝒂𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒇𝒖𝒍.”

It feels like coming home when listening to sports romance written by the effervescent Kandi Steiner! And her new hockey romance series has already started off with a bang! Vince and Maven were everything I never knew I needed until I did. Their snarky banter, tension, and fire burning chemistry offers unforgettable steam and passion!

𝘔𝘦𝘦𝘵 𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘔𝘢𝘵𝘤𝘩 was the perfect balance of sports, romance, and character development. The found family aspect that was oozing from the pages has me so excited for the rest of this series and to see where their stories take us next!

Edward Black was the perfect person to portray Vince's patience, understanding, and care toward Maven. He did a phenomenal job in exuding in his performance by showcasing the character's ability to peel back Maven’s layers one by one and breaking down those walls she holds onto fiercely around her heart.

I always love listening to books narrated by Megan Wicks, and this performance was another goal listen! She shined throughout her narration, portraying Maven’s vulnerable and guarded heart and her fear of feeling worthy. It was refreshing to see Maven realize that not all pro-athletes are the same, and everyone deserves love!

Excellent Audio!!

I thought I was obsessed with this book when I read it with my eyeballs the first time through, but listening to it with my ears may have even made it better! This book is such a well written hockey romance & I think that both of the narrators did a masterful job bringing Vince & Maven to life. This was also my first time listening to a book with duet narration and let me tell you, that only enhanced this whole experience.

It’s no Love Letter to Whiskey…

I wasn’t to crazy about the narration, and the fMC was a bit too insecure for my tastes, but I guess that’s sort of Steiner’s bag. Most the of the books I’ve read by her have annoyingly, difficult female leads. Still, it’s a decent read, albeit overlong for its content.

Step Into the Light

Maven had sworn off all "Rich Men." They are from a different world than the one she was raised in. She is more down to earth and loves giving back to those with less in life. Her parents are missionaries, and instead of following their steps, she gives back in different ways. One of the ways she gives back is through her job. Except her manager tasked her with following around a star hockey player she couldn't care less about for a few months.

Vince knows that he wants Maven. She is the most beautiful woman he has ever met, but she has a problem with him, and he can't quite figure out what it is. The more time the two spend together, the more Maven realizes that the Vince she sees in front of the camera is not the same one she sees behind closed doors. But the question is, can she move past her past trauma and step into the light with their relationship?

Vince MF Tanev 🧎🏼‍♀️

Round of applause to Edward Black and Megan Wicks to bringing Vince and Maven alive. Kandi has used Megan in previous books and I just love her so much! What I loved about this audio was the duet narration compared to the usual dual narration she does. Duet narration makes the experience so much better! PSA to not listen to this audio out loud in public, the spice is filthy yall !!! Infinity stars✨ for book and Audio 🥰

Great start to the series

One of the best I’ve read from this author. Can’t wait for the rest of the series. I love the main characters, their banter and angst. Great narration.
