FLOW by Tia Louise is NOW LIVE
Blurb:
He’s loved her since childhood; one fake date might finally make it real.
I was 15 years old when I stood on a hill in a peach orchard with the girl of my dreams, contemplating marriage.
Now I’m a hockey star, The Maverick Murphy.
I have flow on the ice and on my head, but I still have trouble forming sentences when she’s around.
And she’s all around—living in my house, sharing my space, so close, I can smell her perfume on my clothes.
I’m all grown up, and I’d still do anything for her.
I was 15 when I stood on a hill in my family’s peach orchard with the cutest boy I knew and said I’d marry him on the spot.
Now that boy is a grown man, a hockey star with muscles and dimples and smoldering hazel eyes.
He’s also my new roommate, but I’m not here to fall in love.
Our beloved peach trees are dying, and I’m here to find a cure.
When the town’s rich bully threatens to own our land and me along with it, I kind of snap. I kind of say Maverick’s mine for real.
It’s a lie. We’re only faking, but with every kiss, every touch, every stolen moment, reality starts to blur.
Still, as much as we want to pretend, he’s LA’s hockey champion, and when the semester ends, I’ll have to leave.
That’s reality.
(Flow is a hockey romance with a golden retriever hero, a STEM FMC, childhood friends to lovers, he falls first [and so hard], fake dating, close proximity, roommates to lovers, it’s always been you, hilariously meddling family, and loads of spicy fun. No cheating, no cliffhanger, and no third-act breakup.)

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars
Flow was such a charming story.
Maverick and Dove are childhood family friends who first developed crushes as teenagers when he spent summers visiting her family farm in Louisiana. While the long distance was too much for them to pursue a real relationship at the time, they’ve never been able to forget each other.
In the present day, Mav is a pro hockey player, and Dove is a STEM student who desperately wants to find a cure to save the root rot that is destroying the peach orchard. Dove is spending a semester living with Mav in Los Angeles while she does the research, and the forced proximity brings all those buried feelings up to the surface. Add in a fake relationship when another guy proposes marriage in exchange for saving the farm, and all the lines Dove and Mav have been straddling begin to blur. At the end of the semester, Dove has a decision to make.
I really loved these characters and the slow burn between Dove and Mav. The relationship was tender and sweet, and grounded in the long history between them. Flow is a next-gen spinoff, so the supporting characters are characters from the OG series and the other books. I had not read anything else in this world, but I had no issues keeping up.
I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
