Pinch

The New Bradfords, Book 1

By: Tia Louise

Narrated by: Ryan Lee Dunlap, Willa Jaymes

An Enemies-to-Lovers, Accidental Pregnancy, Hockey Romance

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.)

A beautifully written romance!

I loved how well written every romantic encounter is which brings you to the same exact moment of what you are listening to.

Loved the story.. Loved the narrators. I’m excited for the next books to come.

I did not dislike anything about this audible book. Loved the characters and the storyline .

Louise is masterful at making readers feel. Whether your heart is breaking, your soul is searching or a laugh is needed, Pinch delivers what the soul is seeking. From opposites attract to emotions unite, Gavin and Haddy are a delicious feast of the senses.

Sooooo good!!

Duet narration - Willa Jaymes & Ryan Lee Dunlap
I am very quickly becoming a massive fan of Ryan. He’s an incredible narrator. Willa is always amazing.

I have enjoyed each book that I have read/listened to by Tia Louise. I truly enjoy her writing style.

This is book 1 in a new series The new Bradfords series. This book features a child from the couple featured in The way we collide Raven & Hendrix daughter Hayden.
Start of a second generation series.

Haddy is a graduate student currently going for her masters degree. Living with her hockey player cousin in a house close to campus. She is also a pageant princess which is how she got a scholarship for school. Haddy is adorable and strong also a bit clumsy and it’s so cute.

Gavin aka Lane is a hockey player who is new to town/team and is in need of a place to stay when Haddys cousin offers up their spare room. Not knowing that Gavin and her have history and Haddy hates him.

There is tension, banter, funny meet cute ish moments. Gavin is so sweet and treats Haddy like the princess she is. I feel in love with these two characters. Absolutely a great book! Highly recommend!

Tia’s best book yet!

Oh my goodness! Gavin and Haddy are actually the most perfect couple ever. I loved their love story so much. Starting with a misunderstanding/lie, Haddy hated Gavin on principle. Once she started to get to know him, his kind spirit and flirtiness convinced her to trust him. And then when they find out they’re expecting, he steps up in every beautiful way. He protects her, he loves her, and he supports her, and she does the same for him. I love these two SO much! And this story was made even better by the duet narration by Ryan Lee Dunlap and Willa Jaymes. Their chemistry and passion was evident in their performances, and I LOVED it!
