Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

Rule number one of hockey team ownership: don't sleep with the players. Growing up Oliver Benson's daughter, I've known this rule all my life. And when I unexpectedly inherit the Nashville Devils, his hockey team, all eyes are on me--waiting for me to fail. My eyes? They're on Lincoln Dallas, team captain and star right winger. Who could blame me? That body. Those eyes. The way he moves on and off the ice. And when he gives me even the slightest touch, I find myself giving in. But he's completely forbidden. Not only would dating destroy both our careers, but our history left a bruise on my heart, and I never want to make that mistake again. Especially when it would compromise everything I've worked for. He says he's willing to break the rules and risk it all. Am I? Forbidden Devil is a laugh-out-loud, steamy, second chance, forbidden romance with a dirty talking alpha hero that has it bad for his tight skirt wearing boss. This book is a stand-alone within a series and, as always, comes with a happy ending.

    A quick romp about a hockey player and the newly appointed female xi-owner of the team. The bromance among the players was perhaps more engaging than the romance itself; honestly I didn’t feel the chemistry between the protagonists. 

    Jaz and Lincoln dated for a month six years ago when they were both representing the US. Jaz’s father caught them and threatened Lincoln’s career. Now that Jae’s father has passed away and left the team to her and her brother, the threats to their relationship come from the judgmental, sexist media and even some of their disgruntled teammates who are flabbergasted by the concept of a woman owning the team. Nonetheless, Jaz and Lincoln are drawn to each other and engage in an affair that they have to keep secret, falling for each other more deeply each time. 

    Lincoln’s caveman qualities read as false, and I was disappointed that Jaz quit the team in order to pursue their relationship; after a full book challenging the sexism, it was surprising to have Jaz fold to the media instead of embracing her career together with Lincoln.
