Forbidden love is what makes it the best love right?!? Or so that’s what our brains tell us, even from a readers standpoint. This book was a great, easy read that kept readers attention from start to finish! The chemistry can be felt coming off the pages and the characters are relatable!

Who doesn’t love a forbidden romance – I know I do and I absolutely loved this one!! It was so well written it really was an absolute pleasure to read. The story flowed so well I couldn’t put it down, I needed to keep turning those pages to find out what was going to happen between Devlin and Evelyn! They were fantastic characters to read about – such passion and chemistry between them – I loved them both! I loved that apart from the obvious forbidden relationship part that there was so much more to this story – an absolutely wonderful read and one that I 100% recommend!!
It was a cute story. Typical friends-to-lovers storyline. The two main characters, one a shifter and the other a Mage are best friends, and they secretly love each other. The problem is not only are they from different worlds, but their love is forbidden because Wednesday is a Mage, and Ryker is a Panda Shifter. They are both looking for their soulmates or mates. Neither one wants to be with anyone but the other. You can feel the chemistry within their relationship, and the tension it causes when they cannot be together. However as the story progresses, you are rooting the whole time for them to be together and it seems impossible that they won’t. This is 7th in a series. There are moments when it references or gives a glimpse of other couples and Characters, but nothing that would deviate or distract from this story. I would read other books by this author as I felt interested and intrigued and it moved pretty quickly at times. Will definitely try to read more of this series.

Evelyn Parrish has a hard enough time dealing with Devlin Hughes, he grates on her every nerve and now that she had ended a long term relationship, she definitely doesn’t need his opinion. Devlin though surprises her with an offer, an ear to bend and when she thinks this is just going to be just a dinner and a little emotional support it turns out to be something altogether different. Enemies become lovers but is everyone being truthful?
I enjoyed this one, chemistry is there from beginning. Devlin has a mysterious air to his character. The stories pacing is perfect, wonderful read.

I LOVED every minute of this book! I was sucked in from the start and couldn’t leave it alone until I consumed its entirety! The chemistry between Eve and Devlin was off the charts, and all the twists and turns and unexpected things that happened kept the book exciting! I feel like a few things I somehow should have seen coming, but I definitely didn’t! I truly wish I could give this book 10 stars!

What happens when you work with the most annoying person ever, and you are dealing with a break up.<br />Evelyn has been working with Devlin, they work well together, but she finds him immensely annoying, when she comes to work after the breakdown of her relationship Devlin makes a suggestion that they go out, as work colleagues often go out…. <br />Devlin is not wanting a relationship but he cannot get Eve out of his mind, but he is promoted at work, so instead of being her colleague he is her boss, and work has a strict non fraternisation policy, one of them could lose their job, and as the boss it would not be him.<br />An enjoyable read that keeps you guessing as the author puts into play a few plot twists and story curves that I never saw coming until it happened. Secrets and Family bring these characters to the forefront as you watch them navigate their way through their ‘relationship’<br />I would certainly read more from this author.<br />

Frenemies to HEA
I really enjoyed this contemporary romance. It’s the first book I have read from this author and her writing style is engaging and easy to read. Devlin is a great character and I loved his banter with Eve and the chemistry that built around them. Told in dual POV this forbidden office romance creates steam. There’s a few surprising twists along the way that made for a thoroughly entertaining read.

So good!! The witty characters and quick backstory suck you in right away and keep you interested. I could not put this book down! The book starts after some time in the main characters relationship but you don’t feel like you’ve missed anything at all and you are right there in the office with them!
Devlin by Angela K. Parker
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Honestly, this is exactly the kind of novel my subconscious needed to get me through my slump. Not only does Devlin and Evelyn have the kind of attraction that really sizzles off the page, but it encourages you to root for them during the duration of the novel. There, of course, are the ups and downs that come with a ‘forbidden office romance,’ but knowing we had a guaranteed happily ever after had me hunkering down and absorbing everything this author had to offer within these pages today. Yes. One day. Read. That is all that you need to know.
I would highly suggest reading this if you’re looking for something far better than wasting your day binge watching a show, even though I happily admit that I am guilty of this habit as well. Reading their story was probably one of the better choices I have made this month. Truly. You won’t regret picking this up. Do it! Highly recommend.

This was a cute story. Classic denying of love existing despite it being obvious. This was the 7th book in the series and I have not read the others. I did not feel like I was missing anything. It’s a stand alone book. I do want to read the others though after having read this one! This was a fun quick read.

Devlin is a really great forbidden office romance. I had never read any of this author’s work so was very unsure what to expect. What I got was a well written story with characters that I really connected with.
Devlin and Evelyn are co-workers who work very well together but away from the office desk, the hatred and the barbs constantly fly between the pair. So why is it Devlin that Evelyn turns to when her long term relationship breaks down? And why is he being so nice to her? (well, most of the time). Not that it matters as their work has a no fraternisation policy.
I really enjoyed reading Devlin and Evelyn’s story. We get to see a totally different side to Devlin that the one painted by Evelyn at the beginning. Although, I’m sure she had never previously seen the real Devlin up until now,
I really liked both characters and found that the story flowed well, keeping me entertained and wanting to keep turning the pages to see how their story turned out. Oh…and just as the story is flowing along so well, the author throws a nice big curveball that I definitely did not see coming.
Definitely recommend.
Devlin by Angela K. Parker
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is a really hot and steamy enemies to lover romance set in an office setting. The author does an amazing job with the characters. From the beginning you feel the chemistry between Evelyn and Devlin. Both of them are very career driven but they also can’t deny their attraction.
Evelyn sees Devlin as a playboy. All he does is sleeps with different women and has no plans to settle down so when she gives into temptation after splitting with her boyfriend she knows its a one night thing. It has to be. She can’t stand him and she won’t allow him to ruin her career.
Devlin on the other hand gets a kick out of pushing Evelyn’s buttons and he knows exactly which ones to press. Devlin is deeper than Evelyn thinks and deep down his feelings for her are strong than he would care to admit. Are they strong enough for him to give up his ways and possibly risk moving up in his career? Can he ever convince Evelyn that he is serious and not just after the next notch on his bedpost? And what happens when both their career progressions are at risk if they follow their hearts? Is love worth risking everything for?

Friends with Benies is an enjoyable, sweet, short read. Wednesday is a feisty techno witch, who happens to be named after the Adams Family due to her parent’s sense of humor. She has been best friends with Ryker since they were young and decides that she wants additional benefits from her friend. They can’t be together due to the complications of Ryker being a Panda shifter and having a mate that will be with him for life. The world-building didn’t really seem to be there but this is the seventh book in the series. It’s still a fun, sexy, short read.

I absolutely loved the humor and chemistry throughout this book! I did not realize it was the 7th in the series, but I wasn’t lost at all reading it with no background. I am definitely picking up the rest though because there is just too much to love!
Wednesday and Ryker are best friends, and you can feel that permeated through the entire book. They have both seemingly friend-zoned each other, but after a one-time escapade into the ‘benefits’ of being besties Wednesday may want more. They both think the other deserves more and takes a bit of intervention to help them see the truth.
I love the paranormal side of Friends with Benies as much as the romance! Like I said, I didn’t feel lost reading this as a standalone, but I recommend picking up the rest of the series because you will want more of T.B. Bond’s writing!

Wednesday and Ryker have been best friends since they were 6 years old. At 18 years of age, they decided to take each other’s V card before they went off to college and they have been secretly in love with each other ever since. Ryker is a panda shifter while Wednesday is a mage so they know they cannot be together. They come from different worlds. The couple decide to be friends with benefits until one of them meet their intended mate.
The chemistry between them is intense. No one can compare to the other’s best friend. Ryker knows that Wednesday is the one for him but she thinks he has a mate somewhere out in the world so she is refusing to give into her feelings.
The book was steamy from start to finish. I loved both characters separately and together. They evened each other out nicely. I was cheering for them from the very beginning.
This book is book 7 in the ‘Paris in Springtime’ series but can be read as a stand alone.

This was a really fun story. Watching Ryker and Wednesday find their way from best friends to soulmates was fun. I like how they had each other’s backs. The story had a good rhythm and kept me interested in finding out what happened next. I have not read about a panda shifter before so I did find that interesting as well. I recommend this author and will look forward to seeing more from them.

Wednesday Family is a witch, she is sassy, stubborn and best friends with a panda shifter called Ryker, they have been inseparable since the day they first met and spend pretty much the entirety of their time together.
Unfortunately for Wednesday, they also have some benefits attached to their friendship and this is where the main problem lies, Wednesday is addicted to those certain benefits.
She finds him adorkable, sweet and caring, but the thing she is most addicted to is his body and what he can do with it and now he has ruined her because nobody else compares and believe me, she has tried.
The only problem is that he has a mate out there somewhere just waiting for him to find her so they can make cute panda babies and she can be the awesome auntie, so she has to quit Ryker cold turkey so that he can find her, but can she do it and be the best friend without the benies? This is a cute, but spicy paranormal romance which will keep you hooked on the antics, both inside the bedroom and out of it as you speed through because you cannot wait to see how it ends.

I don’t even know where to start except to say WOW!!! This book took me completely by surprise. I was not expecting all the twists. In so many ways this book had it all, secret love children, unexpected pregnancy, miscommunication, mistaken identity, hidden lovers, and so much more. If you need another reason to read, just know the steam level is high.
Devlin loves to tease his work partner, Eve. They throw barbs back and forth on a regular basis. Devlin has managed to keep his hands to himself for six years, for many reasons but the biggest being Eve was in a relationship. Now that is over. Eve is single. Devlin tells himself he can help her get over him, just this once. If they both know what it is going in, they can still maintain their work relationship. What Devlin doesn’t expect is falling deeper for Eve. Now he can’t imagine being with anyone with her.
There are so many hiccups, roadblocks, and power outages in their way! Will Devlin and Eve find away? Or will Devlin earn his nickname of Devil?
Find time in your week for this book. It is worth it!!

Evelyn and Devlin have been coworkers for a few years now. Devlin has a reputation as a ladies man, but he has always had feelings for Evelyn. She was in a relationship, so Devlin never pursued anything with her beyond the occasional flirtatious comment. But when Evelyn announces she has broken things off with her boyfriend, he dares her to go out with him. This was a fantastic weekend read. It was a romantic story that I couldn’t put down.

Coworkers to lovers!
This book is short but spicy!
Evelyn just broke up with her long time boyfriend and her coworker Devlin, invites her out. What she didn’t know was they were going back to his place. She resisted at first but it wasn’t long before they couldn’t keep their distance from one another.

I loved this book, and not only the spice and the characters, but the way the author brought everything and everyone to life. It flowed nicely, and everything constantly matched perfectly! Could not put it down!
Needless to say this was a book that was impossible not to devour. I loved how it starts and you get a good feel for the characters, and then the story takes off from there. Forbidden love especially in the work place and guy who gets everything he wants. But what if something he wants, and he got a taste of it, but realized this is something he wants more than anything? The book had great spice, and not just a one time thing, was literally all the way through. Thank you to the author for that! The character development was spot on, and realistic. I was deep into this novel and its characters. Seriously Devlin and Eve were making my kindle melt, and they weren’t even ripping their clothes off, just talking being near, you could not deny their chemistry! Again, amazing writing by a talented author and I could not put this one down! Loved it!
I highly recommend this book and author! That goes without saying! A great ride of a roller coaster all the way through. The book and author is a must read! Definitely a great read to fill those sleepless nights!

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.

Good Gravy! I enjoyed this one from beginning to end. Devlin and Evelyn are a match made in heaven. Their chemistry right from the beginning is off the charts, and the ‘forbidden workplace’ aspect makes it so much juicer!
There’s twists and unexpected events, the entire time you feel like you need more. I read this one at work, only in one single shift. This book keeps you wanting more and it just keeps on giving!
I adored Eve and Dev’s banter, the tension, and their inevitability.
I absolutely cannot wait to have you read this one.

Devlin by Angela K. Parker is the first book that I have read by this author, so I was curious to see what she could do. This is a great office romance- a frenemies to lovers situation that sees a forbidden relationship, jobs on the line, secrets, drama, angst, chemistry, steam, and emotion.
Devlin and Eve are co-workers who are both focused on their corporate careers. With promotion up the corporate ladder in sight, these two have their work cut out for them. But things heat up as their chemistry bubbles over into their workplace. Giving in to
their attraction will put their jobs on the line- is taking a chance on love worth the risk? Well worth the read to find out…
Looking forward to exploring more of Ms. Parker’s work…
Happy Reading…
Thank you, Angela K. Parker!
