Forbidden Devil

Nashville Devils Series, Book 1

By: Melissa Ivers

Narrated by: Chris Chambers, Monica King

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?

Disappointed

The storyline was predictable, the male voice made all the dialogue sound cringey and almost impossible to get through. I’m also incredibly disappointed that the FCM had to give up something in order to be with the guy.

The Missing Linc

My Review:
4 ⭐️ 3 🌶️

For a debut, Melissa Ivers nailed it with the sass, steam, and heart in the first book of the Nashville Devils series, Forbidden Devil. It’s cocktail of secrets, tension, and sizzling chemistry. Linc and Jazlyn reunite after years apart, and Linc’s caveman routine is both hilarious and heart-melting—he's still playing knight in shining armor like it’s his full-time job. Meanwhile, Jazlyn’s too busy being an absolute boss, literally running the show, while Linc’s chasing Stanley Cups. Their banter? Pure gold. Their chemistry? Intense. Watching them try to resist each other was adorable—because let’s be real, no one's resisting Linc for long.

I’m already lined up for book two!

Hockey romance

The trope is second chance romance. I totally thought it was going in one direction but there were surprises in this story. Very happily ever after. Loved the narrators.

Narrators were very good. I listed to the story at 1.7 & it still felt well cadenced. Jazz & Lincoln’s love story was very cute. I loved their buildup. The ending didn’t go as expected so that’s always fun. Can’t wait for more Devil’s hockey men.
