Bossy Devil

Nashville Devils, Book 5

De: Melissa Ivers

Narrado por: Alan Stone, Kristie Lee Walsh

A new steamy second chance hockey romcom standalone!

There’s absolutely no way I’d ever work for my ex-boyfriend. Besides, the only thing he needs help with is pulling the stick from his perfectly sculpted backside.

Gordon Benson is the one man I never wanted to see again. He’s grumpy, antagonistic, and so irritatingly more attractive than he was 12 years ago. Those biceps, that muscular chest, those dark green eyes that still manage to get me all twisted up…it’s not fair.

I broke up with him. He demolished my heart. End of story.

Or at least it was until I ran into him after a figure skating gig. And then his sister offered me a job as their executive assistant—a job I didn’t need until the company I worked for went bankrupt.

So, here I am, selling my soul to the actual Devil to make sure me and my daughter are taken care of. The daughter who shares his DNA and yet he acts like she doesn’t exist. I keep telling myself this job is only temporary, that I’ll find something else, but the more I stay here, the more the Nashville Devils feel like family.

And maybe there’s more to Gordon than insults and a prickly exterior. Maybe he’s not quite the villain I made him out to be but there’s still too much at stake. He could lose his hockey team and I could lose the only thing I have left. My heart.

Heartbreaking

This is the second book I've read/listened to by Melissa Ivers. I love the single parent storyline and my heart broke for the characters. I enjoyed the owners story. It was an excellent standalone. I am happy I got to listen to it without many interruptions!

Alan Stone and Kristie Lee Walsh are excellent narrators. Both are new to me and I loved their voices.

Book 5 - Nashville Devils

This is book 5 in Ivers' Nashville Devils series and a wonderful addition to the series. While this can be read as a standalone, I love that we have some repeat characters. I adore our main characters Riley and Max. Riley is a protective single mom, and Max is a grumpy owner of the NHL Devils team. In this second chance romance read / listen lies and deception are revealed, and past hurts are soothed and healed. I love the support and comradery of our secondary characters - friends and family of these two - which brings not only an emotional healing but also some humor as well. The dual narration was wonderfully done and Ivers delivers a well-balanced storyline with emotion, sweet romance, steamy chemistry, humor and so much more. I loved it and can't wait to see what's next from Ivers!

This book was given to me for free at my request and I voluntarily provided this review.

Broody Gordon

This was such a great listen. The grumpy Gordon finally gets his girl. The emotions in this book is great. Misunderstandings and someone against their love caused so much heartache. They lost so much time but it was everything to see how they come together and got their HEA. Narrators were great and definitely recommend.

Family Obligations

Gordon Benson and Riley Adams have a past full of heartbreak. Despite the ne'er-do-well people who enter their story, let's just say that they both have daddy issues, I love how they eventually get the future they were destined to have, even when they fight it so.

There's a lot of predictability in this story, but Gordon's gruff possessiveness outshines nearly everything else. I honestly love that about him. He's 100% caveman when it comes to Riley. The scenes in the... private club are 🔥 🥵 and prove his caveman status.

In addition, his reaction to Max is worth any angst that leads up to that moment. All things considered, he does a good job of prioritizing what's important. I can't blame Riley for what transpired, and I appreciate that she was honest about things.

As for the one that matters most in all of it, Max is a force to be reckoned with, so very typical for her age in my experience. Given some curveballs life has thrown her, she's a bit mature for her age in some situations. She's not a spitfire because of her red hair, but it certainly gives her cred. 🤪

This is the first book by Melissa that I've read. It's possible that I would've enjoyed this even more if I'd read the prior books as well as those from any crossover series, but I was able to follow along well enough. I will say that Gordon's support system is highly entertaining! 😂

I received an author's copy of the audio book. The narrators are absolutely lovely and great matches for the characters. I really enjoyed listening to Kristie Lee Walsh and Alan Stone.

Love Benson & Riley

A great second chance love story!

Gordon Benson inherited a professional hockey team, Nashville Devils, after his father's death. When his high school sweetheart, who he hasn't seen in over a decade, accepts a position in the Devils organization, Gordon and Riley must now work together. For difference reasons, the hurt and heartbreak is still raw between them all these years later, but when the truth finally comes out, not only do Gordon and Riley get their second chance, Gordon finally meets his 11 year old daughter he knew nothing about.

Awesome narration by Alan Stone and Kristie Lee Walsh.
