Sometimes fate sends a sign, and sometimes it sends a bloodhound with a hot hockey player holding its leash, dragging it off you.
Owen Stone is not your usual hockey player. He’s a six-foot-two single dad with dark hair, ocean eyes, and muscles for days. He’s also a last-minute trade trying to find a home for his seven-year-old daughter, his psychic sister, and his adoring bloodhound. Naturally, my hockey-star cousin tells him to move in with us. I’m a sucker for a good dog.
Gina Bradford hits me right in my weakness. She’s tall for a girl, with strawberry-blonde hair, bright green eyes, and a sweet smile. She’s also a champion dog groomer, judge, and owner of a pure-bred show poodle, who is also a notorious towel thief.
When my new teammate invites me to be their roommate until I find a home for my crew, I should’ve said no. I’ve survived the worst, and I’ve achieved my dream of playing in the NHL.
My focus is on winning games and taking care of my daughter, not romance.
Until our dogs start acting like fated mates whose sole purpose is to push us together. And a charity calendar forces us to work together. And a highway accident strands us overnight in a hotel with only one room… and only one bed.
We said it was just once. We’ve both been hurt. But once is never enough.
My daughter loves her, and even my psychic sister predicted the girl of my dreams would be holding a dog.
It takes a little faith and a lot of courage, but what we’ve found is more than a cage. It’s a love that shows up, even when you’re not looking for it.
(Cage is a hockey romance with a broody single dad, an FMC obsessed with dogs/not love, roommates-to-lovers, close proximity, “just once,” chosen family, and loads of spicy fun. No cheating, no cliffhanger, and no third-act breakup.)

#Review: *Cage* - Tia Louise - ARC [18+]
4.3/5✨
3/5🌶️
Owen and Gina were temporarily roommates, because he has just been traded to a new hockey team there. Meanwhile, Owen was trying to find the proper home for his daughter, sister and his dog. The last thing in his mind was to fall for Gina. But both of them had some crazy dogs, which apparently were always throwing them in each other's arms 🤭. Could that be faith?
This was such a lovely and super fun book! Gina was such a huge lover of dogs, being a dog groomer and a judge in championships which included them. This element brought those fun vibes to this story, because those dogs were such a menace, always doing something funny. Owen was in a pretty tough spot, being caught up between his responsibilities and that crazy attraction he felt for Gina. Not even his family was imune to Gina's charms, his daughter and sister instantly loving her. His psychic sister also predicted that a girl with a dog would steal Owens minds, but could that be Gina?
Honestly, this has been the perfect read for a relaxing day. It was fun, with no drama and no third act breakup. The perfect choice for when you need to take a break and just laugh a bit🤭.
Thank you Grey's Promo and Tia for accepting me for this e-ARC!

📚ARC Review📚
And a good time was had by all …
Cage was the ultimate feel-good story with a few emotional “pockets” here and there but mostly a whole lot of flirty, sexy fun wrapped up in a huge package of heart! The laugh out loud moments were abundant with this story which made its cuteness factor go thru the roof.
If it’s one thing I have learned about Tia Louise and her writing is that you can always expect a realistic fictional journey that doesn’t focus on life’s “dark” moments but rather it’s “light” moments. She doesn’t throw in conflict just for dramatics, she writes positive and uplifting stories that make you smile from beginning to end. I cannot tell you how happy it makes me just knowing there will not be a last minute “conflict” thrown in one of her stories. That alone is worth a #oneclick!
Anywho, once again, I loved a story penned by Tia and I especially love the 2.0 and series connections that she is incorporating in this series!

I really enjoyed this swoon-worthy, super cute hockey romance meets Best in Show story!
Owen is a widowed hockey player and devoted dad to the most adorable little girl. When he meets Gina—a professional dog handler with a huge heart for fostering—sparks fly in the sweetest way.
This book is full of love, laughter, and closed-door spicy moments that still bring all the tension. If you love roommates-to-lovers, hockey romance, and an FMC who is completely obsessed with dogs, this one will steal your heart.
I can’t wait to see what comes next in the Bradford series! 🐾💙

Thank you to Tia and Grey’s Promotions for this ARC.
Reading Cage is like Miss Tia Louise said,”How about I emotionally wreck you a little bit?” and I said “okay, and I’ll love it.”
Cage is a broody, closed off, and clearly allergic to feelings which makes him peak book boyfriend material. Duh. This man is walking emotional damage, and watching him fight his feelings while clearly down bad was my personal entertainment. Gina deserved a gold medal (or hazard pay) for her patience because I would’ve snapped way sooner.
The emotional depth of both Cage and Gina, he’ll even Maddie, surprised me in the best way, and the romance felt earned instead of rushed, which I always appreciate.
If you enjoy wounded heroes, soft moments hidden under layers of grump, and muttering “sir, be serious” at your book, Cage will happily lock you in.

First let me just say that when I started reading this, I was kind of confused that the main character was not called Cage.🤣
While this has tropes I know and love, the job of the FMC was a new read for me. She was a scientist, but judged dog shows, groomed dogs, helped the local shelter, and more. It was unique. I loved Gina's personality and my heart hurt for her. She was such a good person but guys always seemed to treat her horrible.
Owen was a widowed single dad, new to the Champions NHL team, and moving in with Maverick and Gina. While this yummy MMC fought the chemistry with Gigi trying to be a good dad and focus on the new team, we get to see his protective and jealous side come out. I love a good guy, but watching him come to terms with his feelings made me want to shake the man. Come on Owen! Your dogs love each other, your friends get along, your families just blend, she's great with Maddie, and you guys are delightful together.
We get forced proximity, teammate/friend's family member, roommates, age gap, hockey player, and more. Sounds like a lovely lineup right?
🫶🏽 Lines:
Maybe Dad could stuff him in a dumpster, which is right where he belongs. (🤣 a bad ez)
I'm lying on my stomach, watching bad reality television. The kind that makes me feel better about myself. At least I'm not that f----d up.
...I need to be beside you always. I burn for you. I want you to be my wife, my life partner, my soul mate. It's always been you.

Cage
If you’ve read any of my reviews about any books that Tia has written, you will know that I read about being blown away by her words in the world she creates within her books. What blew me away this time was the combination of 2 of her worlds coming together in one book! Owen is the oldest son of Britt and Aiden Stone from her 4 book series based in Eureka that starts with A Little Taste!! And Gigi is the daughter of Garret Bradford and Liv from the Bradford Boys series! Owen and Gigi come together in this new Bradford Series and the crossover is seamless! I can’t shout loud enough how much I loved this book! Owen is a widower and there are so many huge feels in this book because of his loss, but he also has a young daughter and is thoughtful of her feelings in the matter of his relationship with Gigi. This book has everything! I really don’t know how she keeps topping the previous books/series, but somehow she manages to!! I give this book a 10/10 even though I can only give it 5 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Owen Stone is the new guy on the Champions hockey team. He left his daughter in the care of his sister and is living with a teammate... and his cousin. Gina Bradford is a champion dog groomer, sometimes judge, and dog owner whos looking to win Best in Show with her dog.
Owen also owns a dog. And this dog LOVES Gina's dog. Theyre two peas. Their owners... while its a definite instant attraction, both are carrying some baggage. Owen is a widower whos shut out the possibility of a relationship and Gina's been burned too many times.
But these two are suffering from forced proximity. And some cousins/teammates who want these two together. Everyone knows it. Even Owen's psychic sister predicted it. Can Owen? He carries his loss with him and for a long time too.
The book is extremely funny. I came into this not having read book 1 and its really easy to follow. Give it a try, like we want Owen to try!

Gina is a champion dog groomer and judge, and Owen is a professional hockey player for the L.A. Champions and is staying with Gina and her cousin while looking for a house for his sister and daughter.
Gina and Owen have a strong pull towards one another that I loved. I loved the relationship Gina built with Owen’s daughter, Maddie, who is a total sweetheart and wants to learn to show dogs like Gina.
I enjoyed the banter between Gina and Owen, but also between Gina and her cousins. They both have amazing supportive families that I love!
I loved that we got to see cameos of the characters from the Be Still series! I enjoyed that series so much and I loved that the author brought these two series together.

Cage by Tia Louise was such a quick, cute read. Roommates to lovers is already a win in my book, but the dogs fall in love before the humans?? Sold ✅
Our MMC is a hockey player, single dad, and widower just trying to figure out life one day at a time. His daughter stole my heart. wanting to to be a mini version of the FMC and living her best life at dog shows.
Perfect if you’re in the mood for something light and full of both human and dog love.

Im obsessed with this second generation group. Maddie was so cute and I loved her connection with GiGi. I couldn't remember the age gap between Owen and Gigi but honestly, it wasnt even a factor. Their connection was pure and happened without force. I loved them!

I adored all the different sides we got in this story! Working in the family similarities, what I’m assuming would be real life fears and thoughts when you are a widower. The closeness of the friends and family. This group truly always makes me happy. I love when woman find their voice & know their worth even when it’s the hardest thing they’ve ever done.
The full circle moments. The unwavering support. The various dog names 😂 it was a great read.

This is a beautiful story about losing a loved one and closing your heart off to a new beginning. Especially when you have a child involved. It was also nice to have all the past characters interact so much in this book too.

Gina's about to get a new roommie and their dogs are about to make a love match. She's grooming her poodle in hopes of perfecting Spanky's look before the national dog show, when in races Owen's bloodhound Ladybird and chaos ensues. Now that their dogs have bonded, will the new roommies bond, too? Or is Owen's broody going to be too much for Gina's walled off heart?
Owen's trying to find his way with a new team, a new place to live, and make sure his daughter Maddie gets the best of him. When he walks into what will be his temporary digs, his dog makes sure he knows this is where he's supposed to be - that Gina and Spanky are supposed to be their ones. If he can get past his own hangups and Gina's, they can become the unit his psychic sister predicted.
All Tia had to do is say dogs and I was all in on Cage. Spanky and Ladybird are the cutest pair of dogs, ever, but their humans are just as sweet as they fell in love, even while not admitting it, not even realizing it at first. I love that Gina's job is so out of the box - I mean a smart af dog groomer?! How could she not be the fabulous, big-hearted heroine she turned out to be. And then there's broody, hockey player single dad Owen...swoon! The way he is with his adorable daughter, and his doggo, and especially with Gina. My heart could not have fallen harder for him. Gina and Owen's families and friends are around for love, support, and the occasional meddling, and made me smile even bigger as they welcomed each of them into the fold. These Bradfords are some of Tia's best, now I'm waiting impatiently for cousin Maverick, and Dove's story, Flow.

Review of advance copy received from Indie Reviewers
It almost seems a crime that this series is called The New Bradfords because so far Tia has been pulling out fabulous second gens from across her other binge-worthy series and I am loving it!!!!
Owen Stone was an absolute scene stealer when he was just a boy following his dad around in A Little Taste and well...I guess not much has changed. 😏 Owen may have grown up, but he's now all swoony, 🥵 especially when he's in dad mode with his sweet daughter.😍 Cage is another fabulous book, with all the feels, big family get together's, that don't take away from the main characters, touching moments, lots of love, and of course the right dash of steam.
Owen is still that sweet little boy who always followed his dad, Aiden, around and loved zebras. I don’t know how the Stone family makes single dads so hot, but wow! Just drool-worthy, wow! Owen learned a lot about loving hard from growing up with his amazing family and I thank them for their service.❤️ With that being said, he's also one hot hockey player and a single dad with super high emotional walls. 🥹 So while Owen is allllll grown up and super swoony, he wasn't looking for anything while he settled into his new life in LA, but it just so happened that life doesn't always work out like you planned. Thankfully, his hound, Ladybird, had the hots for Gigi's dog and was way smarter than their owners. 😏
As for his daughter, Maddie, she is the cat's pajama's, or maybe I should say, the zebra's stripes. 😏 She adds the perfect sweetness to this entire story, which would seem impossible when there are dogs...seriously, there are so many amazing dogs, but then there is Maddie...who is so freakin adorable. 🫠 I mean could Tia just melt me more. Seriously, I was a constant pile of goo!! Maddie has her dad's zebra to add to this combination of cuteness!! Maddie is everything that is glittered butterflies, sparkly rainbows, and magical unicorns and I couldn't love her more!! 🥹😍💗
I don't want to say that Gigi rounded out the adorableness or the hotness factor, because she has her own inner light, but she is also put together. She brings calm and peace to this rowdy bunch, which is not often easy especially when her dad is the rowdiest one of his brothers. Gigi is also sweet, level headed, smart, she's the best of her mom and dad and those traits were a shiny bright beacon for Owen and Maddie. She's hard not to love., but did I expect anything less, not for a minute. She is exactly what those two need, in both of their lives, and they feel that draw instantly.
Now, don't even get me started on the meshing of two of my favorite series coming together. ❤️👌🥰 I mean, how many times can a girl squeal!?! Please...this story just kept getting better and better. And just when I thought this series was already amazingly good...the mention of Mavericks love interest hit. I mean...come on...that news just about sent me into a kicking and screaming-love-induced coma. 🥹😍💗 I'M SO EXCITED!!!!
❤️Soooooo.....don't miss Cage!!! It's amazing!😉

Cage by Tia Louise, book two in The New Bradfords series, is a beautifully layered hockey romance that combines heartfelt emotion, strong character development, and a comforting sense of inevitability. From the very first pages, the story establishes a tone that feels both grounded and romantic, where fate nudges rather than shoves, often with the help of a stubborn bloodhound and a towel-stealing poodle. The humor woven through the narrative softens the emotional weight and makes the world feel lived-in, warm, and inviting.
Owen Stone is a standout hero whose appeal lies in his quiet steadiness. As a single father and professional hockey player adjusting to a last-minute trade, his life is in constant motion, yet his priorities never waver. His devotion to his daughter and his fierce loyalty to his family give his character depth and credibility. Rather than leaning on the typical alpha-athlete swagger, Owen’s strength comes from resilience, responsibility, and the hard-earned belief that survival sometimes has to come before desire. Watching him slowly open himself to the idea of love is both tender and rewarding.
Gina Bradford is a heroine who feels confident without being flashy, driven without being closed off. Her dedication to her career and her dogs reflects her need for structure and independence, especially after past hurts. She is compassionate, capable, and quietly vulnerable, making her emotional journey just as engaging as Owen’s. The connection between them unfolds through shared living space, mutual respect, and small moments that build trust. Their chemistry simmers rather than explodes, creating a slow-burn romance that feels authentic and deeply satisfying.
The supporting cast elevates the story even further. Owen’s daughter adds a layer of emotional truth that grounds the romance, while his psychic sister brings warmth, humor, and an element of gentle destiny. The dogs are more than comic relief, acting as emotional catalysts who push the characters toward honesty and connection. The romance thrives on intimacy rather than angst, avoiding unnecessary conflict and focusing instead on healing, communication, and choosing vulnerability. Cage ultimately delivers a love story that is comforting, passionate, and emotionally fulfilling, proving that sometimes the strongest bonds are formed when you stop running and allow yourself to be found.

Cage by Tia Louise, book two in The New Bradfords series, is a beautifully layered hockey romance that combines heartfelt emotion, strong character development, and a comforting sense of inevitability. From the very first pages, the story establishes a tone that feels both grounded and romantic, where fate nudges rather than shoves, often with the help of a stubborn bloodhound and a towel-stealing poodle. The humor woven through the narrative softens the emotional weight and makes the world feel lived-in, warm, and inviting.

Book 2 in the New Bradford Series
This was a fun & flirty, heart achingly sweet, emotionally endearing journey. One full of hope, healing, acceptance and ultimately, forgiveness.
You'll definitely laugh. You may cry a little too. But mostly, you'll be screaming for more as these two find their way to forever.
Widowed Single Dad, Owen Stone, is the newly acquired Forward for the LA Champions Professional Hockey Team. This guarded yet sweet and charming southern gentleman has spent years just going through the motions, determined to give his seven year old daughter, Maddie, the best life possible. Now, he finds himself on the other end of the country, finally getting his chance in the NHL, rebuilding their lives away from his family for the very first time and quite possibly discovering their future...
Gina (Gigi) Bradford is a Champion Dog Trainer and Groomer. A well known judge on the AKC Championship circuit, she's closed herself off from the possibilities of falling in love after too many Mr. Wrongs have come and gone. She's sweet with a side of sass, kind, caring and loyal to a fault. Underneath the tough facade is a soft heart just waiting for its match. Little does she know, she's about to discover three...
Resisting her new roommate is going to be harder than she expected it to be, especially with two ornery dogs seemingly playing matchmaker.
While Owen battles internally with his past, he can't deny the chemistry that burns bright between them in the present. The invisible pull that continues to draw them to one another. Giving in to one night just makes them crave it even more. As feelings begin to grow into so much more, so do the fears. For the first time in a very long time, he's feeling things he's never felt before, but is he willing to face them down together or will jealousies tear them apart before they ever truly get started?
Finding love after a loss so deep is precious and rare and being with Gina is like a healing balm to his battered heart. She's the light within the darkness. She's everything he's ever wanted, but too afraid to take another chance on. She's beauty and grace. She's fire and ice. She's love, longing, stability and hope. She's HOME. Through faith, love, laughter, compassion, belief and understanding, this sweet little family will absolutely melt your heart.
From the small town of Newhope to the big city lights of LA, the Bradford kids are all grown up!

Cage is book 2 in The New Bradfords series following cousin Gina Grace, also known as Gigi, as she learns to trust her instincts again with hockey player, and single dad, Owen.
Gigi is a dog show judge, dog groomer, and dog handler. She has always loved dogs, so she went to college to specialize in them. Her whole life revolves around various dog activities, including working with rescues and shelters to find foster homes for them.
Owen is a single dad to a lovely 7 year old daughter. He is a professional hockey player that was recently called up from the minor league team to play for the LA Champions. He has a bloodhound named Ladybird who loves to sing to Shania Twain.
When Owen is called up to LA, he needs a place to stay really quick. Mav offers him a room at the house he shares with Gigi. He did the same thing for Gavin last year, when he was traded to LA. No big deal, just another roommate for a short time.
Gigi is on a hiatus from men. The last man she dated ghosted her. She is still trying to figure out what is wrong with her that they do not want to stay with her. But Owen is tempting her end her hiatus.
Owen has not dated anyone since his daughter was born. He still carries guilt over what happened to his wife and he feels he should honor their vows and her memory. But Gigi is tempting him to resolve his internal debate and start living his life again.
These two are doing everything in their power not to fall for each other, but one broken down car plus a major freeway accident, leads to one night, one bed, in the "Bates" motel. They play it as a fantasy so that feelings are not involved and there are no repercussions. But are they fooling themselves?
Stolen glances turn in to stolen touches. But Owen is not ready to commit. He feels like he is betraying his wife with these feelings he has for Gigi.
But will a blast from her past ruin what Gigi and Owen are finally starting to build together?
These two have baggage. They know that the other has relationship issues. But they cannot help themselves. It is like fate keeps pushing them together.
I am not sure who stole the show more. Owen's daughter, Maddie. Or Spanky and Ladybird. So many comedic moments in this book center around the two dogs. But my favorite is when Ladybird sings to Shania Twain.

Cage by author Tia Louise was a delightful read. Actually, anything about the Bradford family is delightful. Cage is the second book in Louise’s The New Bradfords series, spotlighting the next generation; the Bradford cousins are all grown up – mostly – and now living their best lives – again, mostly. Considering their parents, it’s no wonder that the women are brilliant and most of the men star athletes. All are warm, generous, fun-loving and family-oriented. And as likely to get in hilarious situations as their parents were at that age.
In Pinch, the first book in this series, Haddy found true love, started her own family (the next, next generation) and moved out. Leaving room in the house she and Mav and Gigi shared for new player single-dad widower Owen and his 7-year old daughter and his sister to move in temporarily while he house hunts. Not a big deal. Except the attraction between Owen and Gigi could become a very big deal. And a very big problem. Owen’s focus has to be on taking care of his daughter and succeeding at his career to do that. Plus, even though his wife has been gone for seven years he feels guilt at the very idea of moving on, of daring to fall in love again. As for Gigi, she’s been hurt and ghosted one too many times. She’ll stick with something reliable: dogs, dog training, dog shows. Two scared people with an irresistible pull between them. Hmm, how can that work out?
Cage was such a fun story. When I said hilarious, I wasn’t kidding. Their unplanned night in the Psycho Motel will have you rolling on the floor laughing. Like I said, hilarious. And hot, very, very, very hot. When their dogs fall in love you’ll laugh at their antics, and pat your heart at the sweetness of it all. When Owen’s sister does tarot card readings you’ll be hoping those predictions come true. And when Owen’s little girl doesn’t call Gigi “Auntie” like she does the other women because she has hopes for a different role for Gigi in the future you’ll know you’re done for. Author Louise, as always, keeps you laughing and crying and swooning and just having a wonderful time.
I received an advance copy of Cage. I love this fresh, new series and the opportunity to revisit the “old” Bradfords and to meet new characters to love just as much. I can’t wait for the next book! I voluntarily leave this review; all opinions are my own.

Review of advance copy received from Author
Tia Louise isn't playing around with this New Bradfords series- because just like Haddy and Gavin's book, Gina "Gigi" Bradford and Owen Stone are bringing together the second generation of two series and connecting worlds in all the best ways!
Cage is the second book in this new series and it's bringing together a ton of fabulous tropes including- single dad, professional hockey player, roommates to lovers, one bed-one night, forced proximity and of course all the meddling of family, friends and even their dogs! So much of this story had a perma-smile on my face- just like the OG Bradfords, I love the closeness that Gigi, Haddy and Maverick have. They're not only cousins but each others biggest supporters, sh*t stirrers and best friends. And just like his mama, Maverick loves to welcome others- mainly his teammates that need a friend- into their world, and well, could you blame Haddy or Gigi for falling for the pro-hockey players that look at them like they hung the moon?
Now I will give it to Owen- he actually started off with great intentions of not acting on his attraction toward Gigi because he's a single father and only interested in being there for his daughter. Similarly Gigi, is focused on her career and not giving a guy the opportunity to break her heart again. Only Lady Bird and Spanky seemed pretty keen on keeping these two bumping into each other in the most hilariously awkward and erotically charged ways. Tia definitely brought some lighthearted fun mixed with a lot of heart into this story and I was hooked in all the best ways.
I really loved that not only are we getting this budding attraction and relationship between Gigi and Owen but the way that Tia tied in so many little "easter eggs" from their parents books for people like me that have read and loved them all but also a little tease for someone new that might have to go back and check them out. I loved the Bradford bachelor night traditions and the mystical kind of nod to Owen's family.
Now I do slightly disagree that there is no third act break up here- because while technically I guess Owen and Gigi do not "break up" there definitely is the dreaded miscommunication and heartbreak followed by the need to grovel and pull out the grand gesture train so to me that felt like one. But as long as it all works out in the end I also don't mind it all that much 🤪 But mainly I am already dying to get my hands on the next book in this series because if it's about to be Maverick I CANNOT wait to see how that goofy sweet man falls!!

Review of advance copy
ARC Review- I received this book for free for my honest review.
This book is a STEM FMC/Widowed-Single dad hockey romance with some rom-com feels.
The book had fleshed out characters whom we all very likeable. The story is cute, there is low angst, and a satisfying happy ending.
This story missed the mark for me and I admit rom-coms aren’t usually something I pick up. But for the sake of this review I’m not considering that toward my rating.
I liked the premise, a cynogist, dog show judge, groomer with a show poodle living with her NHL childhood friend falls for his teammate widowed, single dad with a family bloodhound who is devoted to his 7 y/o daughter. The dogs fall in love, the MC’s fall in love, the daughter loves everyone.
I did feel like the pacing of the story was a little slow and at times I wasn’t sure when anything was going to actually happen.
The actual relationship drama was kinda blown out of proportion in my opinion but that’s how it is with rom-coms.
There were a lot of characters in this story and I felt at times that the MC’s story didn’t shine as much as it should have. That said I loved the banter between everyone. It felt really genuine and not forced at all. Everyone really cares about each other and there was just enough meddling without it being cringy. Maddie the daughter was adorable and acted like a 7 y/o and wasn’t just a plot device for the relationship.
My favorite parts of this book were the full family banter that felt realistic, full of teasing love, and lots of emotional support. Also I love the bachelor party dancers. I also liked Owen’s Dads advice. Really solid there.
Parts that didn’t work for me was the relationship drama (I dont mind it, it needs to be in romance stories, but i didn’t like how it was in this particular story). I also felt like the MC’s got the same page time as everyone else did and that they weren’t the main focus of this book. I feel like they should’ve had more of the spotlight.
Overall I liked the story, I liked all the characters, I would recommend Cage to people who enjoy a full cast of characters getting page time, lots of banter, healthy relationships, smart women, and on page hockey.

Review of advance copy received from Author
I inhaled this book. Like, stayed-up-too-late, “just one more chapter,” emotionally attached levels of inhaled. Cage absolutely wrecked me in the softest, swooniest, dog-hair-covered way and I loved every second of it 🐶💖
Owen Stone??? BROODY SINGLE DAD HOCKEY PLAYER PERFECTION. Six-foot-two, exhausted, devoted father, quietly carrying the weight of the world while trying to give his daughter a stable home? I was done for immediately. He’s not flashy or cocky—he’s steady, protective, and so deeply good it hurts. The kind of man who shows up. Every time.
And Gina Bradford is such a refreshing FMC. Tall, confident, dog-obsessed, emotionally guarded, and absolutely not looking for love. Her entire life revolving around dogs (champion groomer! judge! towel-thieving poodle!) made me adore her instantly. She’s soft without being weak, kind without being naive, and her connection with Owen’s daughter melted my actual heart.
The DOGS though. The dogs were the real matchmakers here and I will hear no arguments. Fated-mate energy, leash-dragging destiny, chaotic good behavior forcing these two together? Obsessed. Add in roommates-to-lovers, forced proximity, one bed, “just once” lies we all know are lies, and I was GONE.
The romance felt so natural. No unnecessary drama, no third-act breakup (bless), just two hurt people carefully choosing each other while building a chosen family. The psychic sister, the charity calendar, the highway accident, the quiet domestic moments—every piece just layered the love deeper and deeper.
And the spice?? Whew. Perfectly balanced. Hot but emotional. Intimate without being over-the-top. The kind that makes you grin and clutch the book to your chest.
This story wasn’t loud—it was warm, safe, and deeply satisfying. A love that grows, that includes a child, that makes room for healing. Cage isn’t about being trapped—it’s about finding a home when you didn’t even realize you were still looking for one.
I inhaled Owen and Gina’s story and I would happily do it again. If you love hockey romance with heart, dogs, single dads, found family, and a romance that feels like a deep exhale—read this immediately 🏒🐾💗

Thanks to The Author Agency and Tia Louise for the free ARC. All opinions are my own in the following ARC Review.
Genres: Contemporary Romance, Hockey Romance
Tropes: Roommates To Lovers, Single Dad, STEM Heroine, Age Gap, Close Proximity, Jealousy, Miscommunication, Groveling
MC: Gina (FMC), Owen (MMC)
Setting: Los Angeles
Triggers: referenced spousal death, ghosting
Epilogue: Yes
Synopsis: Gina’s life shifts when Owen, a new hockey player on her cousin’s team, needs a temporary home. He moves in with Gina, her cousin, and his dog, sparking an undeniable chemistry they both try to ignore. When her car breaks down, Owen steps in to help, resulting in a shared hotel room, and an unforgettable night that changes everything. However, a surprise visit from Owen’s daughter, Maddie, and his sister pulls them back to reality, but also draws Gina deeper into Owen’s world. Even when a major misunderstanding creates distance, their bond proves impossible to shake. Owen offers a heartfelt apology, leading to a bold proposal of choosing love over hesitation, and finally claiming the future they both tried not to want.
Thoughts: This was such a fun and cute read! I feel like every little detail added to the book’s charm and cuteness, from the dogs and quirky family traditions, to the lovable side characters and romantic moments. Owen and Gina both had some internal struggles to overcome, and I’m glad they did because they were perfect for each other. After their relationship growing pains, Gina and Owen were incredibly open and ready to give their all into a future life together. Though I did think Gina should have made Owen grovel a bit more after coming back, since he completely ghosted her for days. Also, I loved how Maddie immediately embraced Gina as her mother figure. I think they are going to have an incredible bond moving forward. The mushroom scene was pretty hilarious too. I’m just happy it caused some much needed clarity, instead of some bad potential repercussions. Tia again teased us with some future easter eggs, which I’m always excited for. Highly looking forward to reading Maverick’s story next, and how he manages another new roommate.

Highly looking forward to reading Maverick’s story next, and how he manages another new roommate.

Owen Stone is the kind of MMC who doesn’t need to be loud to be unforgettable. He’s a broody single-dad NHL player, a widower, and a man who has spent seven years surviving instead of living after losing his wife in childbirth. His entire world revolves around his daughter, Maddie, and the guilt he feels about even wanting more was raw, relatable, and beautifully handled. Owen isn’t flashy or cocky. He’s steady, protective, and deeply good. The kind of man who shows up, every single time.
Gina Bradford was such a refreshing FMC. She’s tall, confident, dog-obsessed, emotionally guarded, and very much not looking for love. Her life revolves around dogs (champion groomer, judge, towel-stealing poodle included), and her independence paired with her quiet vulnerability made her easy to root for. One of my favorite parts of the story was watching her relationship with Maddie grow. It added so much warmth to the romance.
The connection between Owen and Gina unfolds naturally through roommates-to-lovers proximity, forced proximity, one bed after a roadside rescue, and dogs who are clearly convinced they are fated mates and will not take no for an answer. The chemistry simmers instead of explodes, making the payoff incredibly satisfying. When they finally give in, the spice is perfectly balanced—hot, emotional, and intimate without being over the top.
What really stood out was the way Tia Louise handled grief and healing. Owen’s internal struggle with moving on while still honoring his late wife felt thoughtful and respectful, explored through conversations with his dad, tarot cards, and even an unexpectedly hilarious mushroom scene that somehow still delivered emotional clarity. There’s no unnecessary drama here—just two hurt people choosing vulnerability, communication, and love. And bonus points for no messy third-act breakup.
Cage is warm, comforting, and deeply satisfying. It’s about found family, second chances, and discovering that home can look different than you expected. If you love hockey romance with heart, single dads, dogs, and a love story that feels like a deep exhale, this one is absolutely worth the read.

When the heart breaks free from the cage 🏒🐾
5 ⭐️ | 3.5 🌶️
Cage by Tia Louise completely caught me off guard. This was my first book by the author and let me just say: I devoured it. Absolutely ate it up. If this is the energy of The New Bradfords series, I’m already running back for book one.
This story gives us Gina Bradford, a whirlwind FMC who lives her life at full speed. She’s ambitious, fiercely independent, obsessed with dogs (same), and juggling more roles than feels humanly possible; all while swearing she’s done with love. Gina is vibrant, funny, and guarded in a way that feels achingly real.
Enter Owen Stone: broody, emotionally reserved, six-foot-two NHL player energy with a heart that’s been shattered and rebuilt around his young daughter. A single dad and widower, Owen isn’t looking for anything except stability, safety, and a place to land after a last-minute trade. Romance? Not on the roster.
And yet… proximity has a funny way of cracking walls.
Their connection unfolds naturally, no rush, no forced drama, just two wounded people circling each other, learning how to trust again. The character growth here is beautiful. Watching Gina and Owen slowly lower their defenses, piece by piece, felt raw and earned. When they collide? Sparks fly. The tension simmers, the banter flows effortlessly, and when the spice hits… chef’s kiss. Perfectly placed, hot without overshadowing the emotional core.
Add in dogs with matchmaking agendas, a found family vibe, and conversations that feel intimate and real, and this book delivers on every level. It’s heartfelt, sexy, funny, and deeply comforting, without unnecessary angst or gimmicks. Bonus points for no cheating, no cliffhanger, and no third-act breakup. Bless.
A 5-star read that hit exactly where it needed to.
Huge thank you to Grey’s Promotions for the e-ARC, and congratulations to Tia Louise on her upcoming release (January 15th). I’ll absolutely be diving into her backlist, and whatever she writes next.
If you love broody single dads, roommates-to-lovers, forced proximity, chosen family, and dogs who know what’s up, Cage deserves a spot on your TBR. 💙

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Some authors just get you, and Tia Louise is absolutely one of them. As a long-time fan, I flew into this book… and didn’t come up for air until the last page.
Cage is one of those stories where fate doesn’t knock politely. It sends a bloodhound, a broody hockey player, and a leash that pulls everything into place. And honestly? I loved every second.
Owen Stone is not your typical hockey hero. Yes, he’s tall, strong, and devastatingly handsome, but what truly makes him irresistible is his heart. A devoted single dad trying to build a safe, loving life for his daughter, his psychic sister, and his very good boy of a bloodhound. His quiet strength, protectiveness, and emotional depth made him impossible not to fall for.
Gina Bradford is equally wonderful. Confident, kind, and completely obsessed with dogs rather than love, she felt refreshingly real. Her connection with animals, her independence, and her gentle vulnerability balanced Owen perfectly. Watching her slowly open her heart was beautiful.
And the dogs. The DOGS. Their fated-mates energy was pure joy and added so much warmth and humor. Forced proximity, roommates-to-lovers, one bed, “just once”… every trope landed perfectly without ever feeling overdone.
One of my favorite parts was the subtle brilliance of Tia Louise’s world-building. The inclusion of Dove was that perfect if you know, you know moment that longtime readers will appreciate so deeply. Those small details made the story feel richer and more connected, like a quiet nod just for us.
The romance itself is tender, spicy, and deeply emotional. No unnecessary drama. No third-act heartbreak. Just two people who’ve been hurt choosing courage, trust, and love anyway. Owen’s daughter and sister added layers of found family that made everything feel full and whole.
Cage is about love that shows up when you least expect it. About choosing something real over staying guarded. About building a home that feels safe, warm, and earned.
I laughed, swooned, melted, and absolutely devoured this book. Tia Louise delivered another heartfelt, addictive romance that reminded me exactly why I’m such a fan 🐶✨💙

Review of advance copy received from Publisher
This is a tough review for me to write because I struggled a bit to finish it which is a first for me when it comes to Tia's books because I loved the original first generation Bradford books.
Here are some of the things I loved about the book:
✨ I like the premise of the story. We meet Gina and Owen here. They were both instantly attracted to each other but tried to stay away from each other for their own reasons but they eventually got over that and once the relationship started, the story picked up.
✨ I love the Bradford family. It's actually really nice to get a big glimpse into Haddy and Gavin's life after the first book. And we cant forget about baby Lucy who didnt have any lines but is so prominent in this book.
✨ The dogs - I love all the dogs in this book. Spanky, Peepee, Ladybird - all so adorable and I love getting a glimpse dog shows and all the serious and fun elements of it. I love that Gina is so smart and I like learning a lot more about dogs.
✨ Side characters - so many stand out side characters from the Bradfords, to Owen's psychic sister Heather and of course, his cute and adorable daughter Maddie (love how Gina and her instantly connected). We cant forget about Maverick who is simply the MVP for both books in this series so far. I cannot wait to read his book next.
Now for things I didnt enjoy:
⬇️ The miscommunication in this book was so frustrating. Gina's ghosting trauma is legit and for Owen to do it to her too was disappointing. I felt like he didnt grovel enough for that.
⬇️ I mentioned how the side characters stood out in this book and I felt like that was not a good thing that they outshine the main characters. It felt like it was an extension of the first book.
⬇️ There were some parts of the book where I wanted to stop altogether and abort. I'm glad I didnt but I have not felt this on any of Tia's books before. I pushed through because I know it will pick up again.
Overall, this book isnt my favorite but the book kept my interest enough for the series. Im still very excited about Maverick's book.
Thank you to the Author Agency for the eARC in exchange for my honest review.

✨ARC Review✨

🌶️ 🌶️ 🌶️
Oh this book! It was cute, comforting, laugh out loud funny, and surprisingly emotional in a way that sneaks up on you. It really pulled my heart strings. I finished it with a full on happy sigh.
Owen, Gina, and Maddie completely stole me. I knew that would happen when they entered book one. The chemistry these two had from the start was amazing! All the quiet moments, the tension, and the emotional buildup that made this story feel so good!!
Owen is a widowed hockey player doing his absolute best kind of dad. Watching him try to keep his walls up while clearly falling hard was both frustrating and wildly entertaining. I wanted to shake him (and her if I’m honest, ha). He is protective, jealous, soft where it counts, and absolutely down bad. Peak book boyfriend energy.
Gina was such a standout for me. Her job was refreshingly unique and her love for dogs runs deep. Dog shows, fostering, grooming, helping the shelter, she does it all, and her big heart made it impossible not to root for her. I love how her career was different. She is patient, kind, and has been through enough that you just want good things for her. Honestly, she deserves an award for dealing with these emotionally stubborn men.
Even Maddie brought an emotional depth that caught me off guard in the best way.
I loved how natural everything felt and how the relationships grew instead of being rushed. If you love soft but broody hockey players, strong women with huge hearts, and stories that leave you smiling long after the last page. This one is absolutely worth your time reading. I am already excited to see what comes next in this series!
