They’re playing for keeps …
Brooke Murphy has hit a creative block after a messy breakup, and she’s on the hunt for something – or someone – to provide steamy inspiration for her trope-tastic romance novels.
So when a pickleball match promises fresh inspiration in the form of Manhattan’s most competitive finance bros, it’s game on. She just needs to learn how to play – and fast.
Enter coach Owen Miller, AKA The Big Gripper. Grumpy and totally offbeat in his bucket hat and flip-flops, he agrees to teach Brooke how to play to impress.
But soon, the only thing they’re playing for is each other…
About The Author

My Review
This is a witty, feel-good rom-com that blends humor, heart, and just the right touch of sports-themed charm. Brooke, a ghostwriter struggling to finish her cowboy romance, finds herself unexpectedly inspired—by pickleball, of all things. When her roommate drags her to the court, she spots Kai, a swoon-worthy muse, and his easygoing coach, Owen. A plan to take lessons quickly turns into something more meaningful, as Brooke’s connection with Owen deepens beyond playful rallies and coaching sessions.
What truly stands out is Brooke’s journey of self-discovery. Schade beautifully captures her transformation from self-doubting ghostwriter to a woman learning to trust her instincts and prioritize her own dreams. The romance is sweet and slow-building, grounded in authentic emotion and sprinkled with laugh-out-loud moments.
Owen is a wonderfully refreshing love interest—steady, supportive, and utterly endearing—and the chemistry between them feels effortless. Add in quirky side characters, fun pickleball banter, and a spot-on audiobook narration by Patti Murin, and Pink Me becomes a delightful, empowering story about love, growth, and finding your own voice both on and off the court.
