Devlin by Angela K. Parker – Review by Megan Conley

DevlinDevlin by Angela K. Parker
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I enjoyed the premise of this book as well as the characters. I thought the spice level was *chef’s kiss* and sprinkled generously throughout the book. However, the writing left much to be desired. I felt rushed and then there were extreme jumps in time and the characters were wishy-washy (more so than they needed to be). It’s really hard to explain and put into words how I felt about this book. Like I said, I really liked the premise and the plot line and the characters, I just don’t think it was fully flushed out. I will say that the twist at the end was a complete shocker and I thoroughly enjoyed it! There are actually 2 twists…I liked the main twist…the other twist felt forced and I didn’t think it actually needed to be there. That happened too throughout the book…things happened that really didn’t need to be included.
Now let’s get into the story. This is a very quick read, which I always appreciate. I (mostly) loved the characters of Devlin and Eve. I feel like Parker could have maybe flushed Devlin’s character out a little more. We get to see a lot of Eve’s “why” and in time we do get to see Devlin’s but I think his could have been flushed out more. I did really enjoy the interactions between Devlin and Eve; especially when Devlin would get Eve all flustered. Their spicy interactions were off the charts hot and well done!
I would recommend this book with the caveat that there’s just something about the writing that just doesn’t sit quite right with me.
