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.)


This was a cute story; I loved the plot, as it was different and interesting, and we actually learned something about peach orchards and the trials that can arise, and it was a brand new author to us.

The characters were great, especially Maverick's hockey family. Dove had a beautiful family along with wonderful friendships. Dove's family was sweet, kind, loving, and meddlesome when it came to their daughter's love life.

Dove and Maverick were friends growing up, best friends, and their lives are completely different. The ease between them is endearing, and their chemistry is beautiful.

It was great to see Maverick make his move for the girl he has always loved. He was a genuinely kind and loving guy.

Overall, this read was enjoyable. The slow-burning romance was a little too slow for us, but we did love the build-up to taking the chance on the connection that always remained between them. The side characters made us laugh with their witty banter, adding depth to the story and making it a fun read.
