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!

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.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
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.

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?

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 book piqued my interest as soon as I read the description. It seemed like a book that would b exactly what I look for and it definitely was. The characters had such a strong chemistry, right from the word go. You could feel it on every page and that is what pulled me in.
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.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
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!

New to me author. I really enjoyed this story about Devlin and Eve. There are some laugh out loud moments and there are some moments that make you say to yourself “what in the world?”. This book has a couple twists in it, and you will be surprised to see what they are. Sorry NO SPOILERS from me. This book is a quick easy read, and it will have you turning pages from start to finish. It draws you in to where you feel like you are right there at the dinner table with them all. Enjoy this book…. I know I did.

Devlin is a frenemies-to-lovers new adult romance tale. This is not your typical office romance. Angela has written a delightful tale where there is lots of tension, angst, distaste, secrets and lies, omissions, and jobs on the line.
This is the corporate world where the next promotion is the main goal. However, playing with fire is oh so sweet. What happens when what is between the sheets is so much more? Is it worth breaking the rules? Is it worth the risk?
The chemistry between our MC’s is smoking hot when it gets going. I loved the wit and banter and found it easy to like them. There were times when I wanted to shake them but as they say the road to happiness is not paved in gold.
If you like a forbidden romance with a few twists and turns, then give this author a go and enjoy the sweet burn of this frenemies-to-lovers tale.

THIS BOOK I COULD NOT PUT DOWN! This was a fantastic enemy to lovers, office romance novel and I found myself wanting to reread it over and over again!! Devlin is a guy who is on the track to become someone in this office and has been warned to stay away from anyone and everyone in the office as it could destroy his future goals within the company. When his super close coworker, Evelyn, suddenly becomes single, all of the thoughts of staying away leave with him. One fateful night has made it where these two do not want to be apart or want to explore dating. This book had many twists and turns that I did not anticipate happening, which made this book all that much better! This is the first book that I have read by this author, and it will most certainly not be the last! I cannot wait to get this book for my friends and have them fall in love with it just as much as I did.

I enjoyed reading this forbidden romance story. This is a newer author for me which I enjoyed her writing style and her attention to details that made the story realistic. This is a well written story that has characters that pulled me into the story from the start. They are connectable, strong and keep the story engaging. A past faced romance story that is hard to put down. I enjoyed the chemistry and the growth of the characters. What will happen when a one night stand becomes more than either one ever thought? This is an easy and entertaining story to read and fill my afternoon with steam. I highly recommend this book.

Evelyn and Devlin have sparks. Problem is they work together and he annoys her. She is coming off a bad breakup and he makes a proposition. This is a quick, fun and entertaining read. There is lots of banter and humor. The characters are so made for each other. I loved the writing in the story. It just flows together so well. The writing is contemporary and realistic. You feel like you might be with them. An enjoyable read. A new author to me and I hope to read more

I loved Devlin! Such a sweet workplace romance. Of course never without its ups and downs and tension. But isn’t that what keeps the reader intrigued. I loved what the author did. I just wish it was more. I finished this book in one sitting and was sad when it was done. I did like the small twist. I didn’t see it coming, but I wasn’t surprised either.
Devlin and Eve are partners at work that do everything to ignore the tension between each other. Playing it off as irritation and dislike. That is till Eve’s available and Devlin swings for the fences to get his shot. All he wanted was one night, he never realized it would be so much more.
Eve’s had her ups and downs but never lets anyone get too close.
Devlin has been hurt and just keeps it buried.
These to a whirlwind of tension, sarcasm, intentionally irritating, but sweet to one another as well.
What happens when a promotion gets in their way? They are no longer on the same plane, one is now the other’s boss.
I’ve always enjoyed reading a fictional office romance, but I’m one who has always been against them in life. If you enjoy everything I listed that this book has to offer you need to jump in head first now.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Devlin
By: Angela K Parker
5*
This romance is so good! It is a forbidden office romance but it definitely does not have the normal feel of an office romance book.
Devlin is a businessman and a darn good one at that. He is known for his womanizing. He is also known for his banter with his coworker Evelyn. He has his eyes on a big promotion but that promotion has strings attached. He is not allowed to fraternize with other employees. This new rule comes at the worst possible time.
Evelyn works with Devlin and loves to hate him. The banter between them is so fun to read. In a moment of weakness she gave in to her needs and spent the night with Devlin. This is a night that she can’t get out of her head. She can’t explain the jealousy that is creeping into her when he is with other women. Luckily she just received the chance to plan the winter party for the company. This is do or die for her career and she can’t let Devlin get in her way.
Their resolve to stay coworkers and leave things to just one night is challenged when they are sent out of town together and they have adjoining rooms. Are they both willing to admit that they have more feelings than they first thought? Or will they stick to the rules that have been given to them.
I LOVED this story. I had a very hard time putting it down. I really truly loved their relationship and I hope that there is more to come from these characters!
