Eve and Devlin pulled me into their story with ease and I really enjoyed my time with them. It’s an office romance that will have you sinking in and never wanting to leave. The characters are relatable and easy to connect with. The story is cute, fun and a bit steamy. It’s well written and I wanted it to keep going. This author definitely had me hooked from start to finish. I’m gladly giving this book five stars and can’t wait for more from this author. Highly recommended!

This is a very enjoyable story. Office Romances are one of my fav tropes and this one surprised me. While I thought this was a cookie cutter office romance story it really isn’t. It has secrets and the characters have to work to find trust in each other. I really liked the characters. They are relatable and fun. I really liked watching Devlin. He liked Evelyn but thought it was a one time thing then strangely he started becoming addicted to her. He became invested in her even though she was extremely leery of a relationship with him.

Overall I read this quickly and had a nice time learning about the characters and their tics. It is a good office romance story. This is a first time author for me. She surprised me by not writing a run of the mill office romance.

Evelyn has just gotten out of a relationship that lasted longer than it should have. She isn’t looking to date at the moment, especially not her sexy-as-sin office partner. When the line is crossed and they end up spending one night together it has them both questioning whether or not there can be more. Eve is usually not the type of woman Devlin goes for but there is something about her that has him wanting more. One night wasn’t enough for either of them, but neither is willing to admit it. Eve is of the mind that it was a one time thing that will definitely never be happening again because he will get tired of chasing her soon enough. After all he is a womanizer isn’t he? Can Devlin convince her that what they had was more than one night?

I loved Devlin and Eve’s banter and most of their relationship, but I just cannot stand the miscommunication trope anymore. It makes it SO frustrating when the characters just REFUSE to talk to each other. I mean I get it, it’s hard to be vulnerable and honest, but I just felt like it was overly repetitive and then it somehow also felt really rushed. The writing itself was….there was just more to be desired. But it was an entertaining book so that’s why I gave it the stars. I loved the overall plot and the twists, it just felt like it took forever to get there. And I absolutely LOVED the spicy scenes!

This is the first book I have read from this author and she has a new fan. I love a good slow burn story but this one exceeded all my expectations. I was hooked on this story right from the beginning. You can’t help but to fall for these characters. I could not stop reading this book until it was the end. I can’t wait to see what this author writes about next.

Devlin Hughes is a businessman that always gets what he wants. He has been waiting for this amazing promotion and it is finally here. Devlin is so excited that it is finally his turn and the only rule is not to date any co-workers. He knows he has this in the bag until he finds out that Evelyn is now free. Devlin knows he can’t get into a relationship but he could have some fun. He was not expecting to fall for this girl. Will Devlin be able to get the job he has been waiting for and the girl or will he have to choose?

This book is a standalone, forbidden office romance. It’s the first book I’ve read by this author but I wasn’t disappointed.

Devlin is aiming for a promotion and he’s only got one to follow. No fraternizing. Seems easy enough- at first. Evelyn wants to move up so she’s going to take the steps she needs to, starting with this party. Going through a breakup makes things a bit challenging but she’s determined. She doesn’t count on Devlin and the last thing she needs is for them to get caught. Their connection is real but is it worth the risk?

I really enjoyed this book. The chemistry between Devlin and Evelyn was so believable and extended beyond the wanting want you can’t have. Definitely recommend giving it a read!

I loved reading this book. There was so much chemistry between Devlin and Evelyn. They were coworkers who actually worked very close and shared clients. They were a team. They gave eachother a hard time…it was like a game to both of them until Evelyn and her boyfriend broke up.
Devlin saw this as his chance to finally
go after what he wants. He’s in the process of taking over the company when their boss finally retires until the boss finds out just how close Devlin and Evelyn have gotten.
There was a moment when I was like what???? Never saw that coming. I thought this book was beautifully written, loved the characters, great read from beginning to end.

This forbidden office romance was so good. Devlin is cocky and the last person Eve would consider dating. Eve is someone Devlin can’t get involved with even if he wanted a relationship, which he doesn’t. They can’t deny the desire they feel. There are definitely twists and turns I didn’t see coming in this book. I just could seem to put it down.

This is the first book that I have read from this author and I fell in love with immediately. This is a stand-alone book also. This is an amazing book and I highly recommend this book for anyone who loves , frenemies-to-lovers office romance.
He’s been warned, but she’s worth the risk.
Devlin Hughes is a businessman first, and a charmer second. With his sights on a big promotion, he just has to follow one rule: don’t fraternize with his coworkers. But when his sexy, shrewd coworker suddenly becomes available, his ambitions may not be strong enough to overcome desire.
Evelyn Parrish is ready to climb the corporate ladder. And planning a company function is an important rung, even if she’s reeling from a breakup. The arrogant but handsome Devlin might just be the distraction she needs… unless they get caught.
When their one-night fling develops into true attraction, it gets harder to keep their distance. Rules weren’t made to be broken, but maybe they can be amended.
I’m excited to read more of this authors books in the near future.

A fantastic read with a good amount of drama and spice. Well written and a great read if you enjoy reading a book and getting both characters’ points of view.

This book follows the story of two co-workers, Devlin and Eve. Eve is an intelligent, driven, young woman fresh out of a relationship. Devlin is the playboy, the heartthrob of the office, with a passion for annoying Eve. They have a banter like no other and know how to push each other’s buttons.

Everyone knows that alcohol can lower your inhibitions. What happens when you put a man and woman in a secluded place with alcohol and tension? Will it lead to sparks or will it lead to war? What happens when one alcohol and lust-filled night changes the dynamic between the dynamic work duo? Can one night indeed be enough when you see someone every day? How well can something stay a secret in an office that loves gossip and drama?

Read this book to find out what happens between Eve and Devlin. Their story is one for the books and hard to put down. You will fall in love and get frustrated like those in this story. Welcome to a world of what ifs and who knows.

This romance novel really blew me out of the water. I have read a couple novels from this author but this one really took the cake. The characters were amazing, the spice was just the right level, and the way the author brought everything to life was just perfect. There is plenty of tension, angst, secrets, lies and so much more that you won’t be able to put it down. The author has a way of writing that everything just seems to flow together just right. So if you’re looking for your next read make sure to pick this one up today.

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!

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!!

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 />

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.

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.

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.

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?

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!!

Devlin is Eve’s partner at work. They work on toy ideas together and they make a great team. Their witty quips and flirtatious comments have always just been how they function together, but now that they are both available at the same time, Devlin makes his move. Eve sees Devlin for what he is, a flirt and a ladies man. She’s not looking to start another relationship after hers just ended. However, Devlin has different ideas for Eve, plans to say the least. Can he change for her? And how can he convince her that he can? Loved this book! Amazing! So fun to read! This book is hot, witty, and extremely entertaining! You will be smiling and fawning over Devlin and Eve the entire time! This book is worth it. I can’t wait to re-read it again!

This is a new author to me and I thought the way they developed the characters was brilliant. The story was well thought out and easy to read. I enjoyed it as soon as I started reading. I am looking forward to reading more from this author.

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.

This was a great 5 star read. This was a fun office romance read. Evelyn finds herself single and Devlin finally convinces her to go have a friendly drink with him. Let’s just say these two start something very steamy. As we move through the story we get to know each of them. There are secrets, forbidden romance, banter and so much more. Will they get caught? Is what they have worth it?

Over this was a great read. The characters’ chemistry came off the pages. The author does a great job with her writing and pulls you right in. We get some twists and turns that added a great element to the story. If you’re looking for a great read, 1-click and get started today.

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.
