An injured rugby star, his pregnant roommate, and one rule they can’t break: Don’t date the owner’s daughter.
It was supposed to be an easy house- and dog-sitting gig while the owner was gone for a month. But when my sportsing landlord comes home unexpectedly, injured and in need of a new arrangement, we end up as accidental roommates instead.
But if Holt Webster, the tall, thick-muscled, square-jawed, broody-eyed rugby player, had told me he played for the Copper Valley Pounders, I would’ve told him that my stepdad bought the team while I was working cruise ships overseas.
And he would’ve noped out of offering me a place to stay because the only thing worse than looking like you’re flirting with the owner’s daughter is looking like you’re hooking up with the owner’s pregnant daughter.
Yes, yes, I’m that woman—the one who accidentally got knocked up, decided to keep the baby, and had to move home because pregnancy and cruise ships aren’t a good match.
And now I’m that woman who doesn’t just look like she’s hooking up with an off-limits player. I actually am hooking up with an off-limits player. But who can blame me? He’s hot. He’s kind. And he’s spending our nights sleeping with his hand on my baby bump.
Claiming us both.
But if my dad finds out, Holt’s gone. And we’ll be…rucked.
The Roommate Mistake is a heart-tugging sports romcom featuring two people in need of new best friends, a dog with an attitude, and a very…fowl…meet-cute. It stands alone and comes complete with a found family happily ever after.
Content note: This book contains a character dealing with the loss of his brother to cancer.

REVIEW
5 Stars
This is the second book in the Pounders series and I can officially say they have stolen my heart along with the Thrusters and Fireballs. This book delivered on the Pippa Grant humor, but man did it pull on my heartstrings as well. Both Ziggy and Holt are a little broken, but a little unorthodox meet cute leads to something so special and healing. I loved the journey of love for Holt and Ziggy. Their love story is one of my top favorites now. This book wouldn't be a Pippa Grant book without a quirky animal, which I love by the way. Man is Holt so swoon worthy, yes he is a little grumpy at first. Then you see how he is with Ziggy after the shock of the roommate situation, trust me you wouldn't be able to resist him either. I love when all the teammates are together. I also appreciate the friendship between Fletcher and Holt. One of the things I love most about this book is the true genuine friendships Ziggy creates with people in Holt's orbit. She so deserves all that after the nasty person we learn about. Karma needs to visit that piece of work. I couldn't put this book down. It's just so good. It has all the feels and humor, but also delivers on the steam. Holt and Ziggy have burning hot chemistry that is just made even more special by the connection they have. I'm so looking forward to more from the Pounders.
