Lane “Gavin” Knight is the hottest new defenseman for the LA Champions hockey team.
He’s my cousin Maverick’s best friend, and by trick of fate, my new roommate.
But just because he caught me when I fell off the “Welcome Back” parade float in my International Princess crown doesn’t mean he’s a hero.
I know him better than that.
Hayden “Haddy” Bradford is the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen.
She’s a princess, a brilliant scientist… And she hates me.
Until a purple-drink-fueled Halloween hook-up changes both of our lives.
It’s something I’ve wanted a long time, but I never dreamed I’d have it with her.
Still, I’m the master of high-risk, high-reward plays, and I’ll do what it takes to show her I’m not the man she thinks I am.
I’m there for her every step of the way, supporting, holding her hand, doing my best to show her my true self.
I told her I’d catch her when she falls, but no one is catching me—and I’m falling fast.
I’m headed straight into the offensive zone. Everything I want is at stake, but I’m committed to this puck battle, and I intend to win.
Pinch is a hockey romance with enemies to lovers, roommates to lovers, a cocky bad-boy Hero, a sassy STEM/pageant-princess FMC, an accidental pregnancy, foster dogs, family, and loads of spicy fun. No cheating, no cliffhanger, and no third-act breakup.

This was such a fun read. Haddy and Gavin have a bit of a history between them. They’ve met in collage, and something happened that made her not like him very much. But years have passed and Gavin is back in her life. What’s more he’s her new roommate thanks to her cousin who is his new teammate.
Gavin has had a thing for Haddy since the moment he saw her. And the time has come to finally explain what happened with his then girlfriend in collage. Haddy is on the fence about him, but since they’re living together, she starts noticing him and seeing him for the man that he is and soon all bets are off, and they can’t keep their hands off each other. But trusting feelings that are arising fast is scary and Haddy will have to decide if she wants the beautiful life he can give her or will she let her past dictate the rest of her life?
Gavin might be or probably is my favorite man by Tia Louise. He knew what he wanted and went after it when the time came. This was read in one sitting and left me feeling happy that they finally found a way to be together.

Above everything else, I declare Hayden “Haddy” Bradford one of my all time favorite female fictional characters! Also, 2.0 stories are the absolute best, and when you also turn them into “world combination” stories, I mean … *heart eyes*
I love this story hard! Aside from the head over heels feeling that I have for Haddy, Gavin was absolutely swoon worthy from beginning to end, and their story was easy and ridiculous fun! When I use the term easy it is not to mean simple or even straightforward, but it was more like ”easy like Sunday morning”, Feel me? My heart was so full with these two and I couldn’t have chosen better characters to compliment each other. Every time I pick up a story penned by Tia, I fall a little more in love with her voice and style! This story was the ultimate “feel good” story and I cannot wait to have the opportunity to listen to it!
