My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This isn’t my typical genre. With that being said, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I had time to kill during my kids surgery and while not a nice situation it was nice to be able to sit down and read it all at once without feeling rushed or interrupted. The characters were great and the storyline flowed well.

This story was so great! It was the perfect escape from a seriously hectic time! The characters had chemistry that you really felt and the dynamic they had was addictive. Author writes a great story that keeps you on your toes and never bored! The forbidden fruit aspect of the tale really put the cherry on top!

Devlin: A Forbidden Office Romance
There is something about the “forbidden ” and Devlin and Eve do the forbidden right. The first time they explore it was pretty hot and changed everything.
Devlin comes off as arrogant which he is but he is more than his ego. He doesn’t show the other side unless you’re worthy.
Eve is driven at work and wants to be the best and when a huge opportunity arrives she is determined to take advantage of it.
This is a book to be savored and enjoyed. It isn’t one that you should rush through. Once you hat caught up into the story you will have a hard time stepping away.

Devlin: A Forbidden Office Romance by Angela K. Parker
This isn’t the first book I’ve read by the author. Devlin is a great read. Office romances have always held a place in my heart, but this book makes the top of my list.
Devlin is a womanizer. Well that’s how he likes to make himself look like, but in reality he would like to settle down. He just hasn’t found the right woman. That’s until Evelyn walked in his life. Now that he’s had her in his bed he wants nothing but to make her his. The quote I chose for Devlin is: “But you could borrow them for thirty minutes to an hour. I’m sure Sawyer wouldn’t mind. I do enjoy the feel of satin caressing my skin.”
Evelyn just got out of a relationship and doesn’t want another one. Or does she? She hates that she wants him. That one night isn’t going to be enough for her. Will they make it? The quote I chose for Evelyn is: “There’s never a dull moment. Devlin has kept me on my toes from the moment we met. Challenge has been our strongest suit. I guess you could say we make a great team.”
Highly recommended for New Adult Romance lovers.

Devlin: A Forbidden Office Romance was a great enemy to lovers read. Eve and Devlin are coworkers at a toy company. Eve is an independent, hard-working woman who will not let herself be wooed by Devlin’s charm. Devlin has always been attracted to Eve but understood not to mess business with pleasure. That was until he heard she broke up with her long-term boyfriend and saw his chance. Eve is not having that since Devlin is known as the bachelor with no hopes for anything but a physical relationship. What the two of them don’t realize is that the sexual chemistry just couldn’t be denied. Devlin starts to realize he can no longer deny his feelings and can’t believe that Eve made her way into his heart. There is a problem however, Devlin has kept a pretty big secret that could destroy everything, along with the fact that he is going to also be her boss. Can they keep their relationship a “dirty little secret” to save their jobs and their hearts?
I always enjoy a good enemy-to-lovers story. Both characters were very enjoyable and engaged in a no-bullshit type of way. The banter and progression of their story were romantic, realistic, and sexy. I thought Eve portrayed a character that was relatable and confident. She didn’t let Devlin in without him knowing what she wanted and didn’t. Devlin also had a way of “handling” her, he was portrayed as a confident, but not narcissistic man which came across the page as very sexy. The ending left me feeling meh. I love that it progressed to where it did, however, I feel we went from one feeling to something way beyond that. I liked that there was an epilogue but I almost wished I found out a little more about where they go.

Ooooooh I love this book! The angst, the spice…so good! Eve and Devlin are constantly bumping heads…they work together…and they’re constantly bickering. But they also can’t stop the sexual tension every time they’re in the same room. Can they keep their distance from one another or will they finally give into temptation?Book had my attention from the very first page and I finished in one sitting. If you love a good tense and angsty read, this is the one! Great characters, great plot, GREAT spice 🌶

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
What makes these books so entertaining for me is the way that the steamy chemistry starts off slow. It’s also steamy that you can feel it as you read each word and as it builds more, it makes you excited for the characters and their intensifying adventures or ways to keep them going. This is a sensational read. Hope you enjoy as much as I did.

Devlin by Angela K. Parker
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Devlin is a businessman and a womaniser but there is one woman who has driven him insane from the first meeting five years ago, Eve.
They are brilliant as a team and with there biting banter and flirtations is just that flirting but when Eve suddenly becomes single all bets are off, the only problem there are certain rules within the office and dating a co-worker is right up there.
One night they have two much alcohol and not much sense but will one night be enough.
This book is a standalone story involving the characters of Devlin and Eve, the chemistry between these two-character jumps off the page at you and feeling of forbidden love is always on the cusp of their banter. The story although short offers you an insight into the world of these two people from the frenemy’s aspect of the story to the relationship that develops after the night together.
The story is full of action and with them trying to keep their relationship a secret is fun to read. This is not the first book I have read by this author and certainly won’t be the last.
Devlin by Angela K. Parker
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book had me on the edge the entire time, it was a bit of a slow build up. But that doesn’t mean it wasn’t amazing! We follow Devlin and Evelyn who are coworkers, Devlin is a massive flirt and womanizer and Eve refuses to see him as anything more than her annoyingly flirtatious partner at their job. But Eve can’t help but appreciate his looks even though his personality annoys the ever-living crap out of her, but when the tension between them becomes too much and Eve’s newly single status has her in a slump. Devlin comes to the rescue by being annoyingly handsome and surprisingly caring and attentive, after one taste neither of them can get the other out of their minds and they want nothing more than to be with each other. But when their wants become a risk to their job, are they willing to take the risk? Or would they rather revert back to their safety bubbles of quietly pining for one another? Can they survive the surprises and twists coming their way?

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!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
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!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
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?

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
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.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
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.
Devlin by Angela K. Parker
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
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.

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
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!

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!!

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.
