4,5 stars
‘Sin Bin’ is the fourth book in the ‘Carolina Comets’ series and just like the previous books in the series, I enjoyed this story very much. This story is about NHL player Owen Smith and Emilia Anderson, who’s the team’s social media manager. Both were secondary characters in the previous books. It was very clear in those stories that something was going on between them, that they had history together and now we finally find out what happened between them a few years ago.
The first time that Owen and Emilia met was at a bar. Both were there to forget their troubles, there was chemistry between them from the start and they left the bar together. They had an steamy one-night stand and during their time together they exchanged no private information and while they both enjoyed it, they agreed to say goodbye and go their separate ways. So it was a big shock when they met for the second time and discovered that they both worked for the Carolina Comets team (Emilia was new to the job). They agreed to never mention that night again and to act professional. They did that for 2,5 years, it wasn’t easy but they kept their distance and acted professional. But now things are changing, Owen is 38 years old, he’s one of the oldest hockey players on the team and rumors are going around. Will he stop playing hockey or not? Hockey has been his love/life for so long. He can’t imagine a life where he isn’t playing hockey. So a future without hockey causes him a lot of stress.
Emilia loves her job, at 28 years old, she’s at the beginning of her career. So when her boss tells her that she’s leaving and that Emilia has a great chance at getting her job (director of all media relations with the NHL team) she’s very excited about this great opportunity. That’s her dream job! But there is one catch, to prove herself she will have to work closely together with Owen. The attraction between them is still there, growing with each moment they spend together. But giving in could cost them everything. There are strict rules against fraternizing between the staff. They could both lose their jobs (which they love) by giving in. But sometimes you have to break the rules and hope it’s worth it in the end.
The story was again told from both POV’s. I liked this story very much, just like the previous stories, it was light, easy to read, filled with funny banter but it also had emotional and steamy moments. I was very happy that during the story we got glimpses of their first meeting.
Owen was an interesting character. In the previous books we got to know him as a loner, a grumpy hockey player. He wasn’t he big star of the team but he’s a teammate you could count on, on and off the ice. Everyone went to him for advice, he’s patient and intelligent. He was one of the lucky ones, having played for the same team throughout his hockey career. Hockey was his passion and life. So it was hard for him to imagine a life without it. Especially because his teammates were his best friends and you could even say his family. He was afraid of losing it all.
Emilia was a great character too, she was passionate about her job, a hard worker, a great colleague and friend. I liked her very much. There may be a big age gap of 10 years between her and Owen but they still had a lot in common. They made a great couple. The fact that they had to hide their affair and sneak around made it more excited but it also made me sad for them. They really belonged together, so during the story I had my fingers crossed, hoping that they found a way to be together and they did!! I really loved how they found a way to be together. It was the ‘perfect’ solution for their situation.
Just like in the previous stories, there were fun text messages in the story (I love those) and the banter in the story had me smiling. The sex scenes in the story were very steamy and to my surprise, Owen was a very dominant lover in the bedroom (and in other places) and Emilia was his ‘good’ girl. The chemistry between them was passionate and strong.
There were many familiar faces in the story. The guys had me laughing, they were so hilarious at times, especially Miller (I’m so curious to read his story) and just like the girls, they’re also very loyal and supportive friends. They’re a close group of friends. We also got to know the assistant coach (Emilia’s uncle) a bit more and also Emilia’s colleague Bruce. He was a great character too.
‘Sin bin’ was a great story. I’m looking forward to reading the next story in the series.

About the author
Sexy and heart swooning forbiden sport romance
I'm following the series from the beginning and every time I finish a new book, I have a new favorite . They all have such great chemistry between their characters and the way they fall in love is exquisite, but my favorite was Ryan and Rhodes story, Blind Pass. And now my new favorite is this one . Emilia works for the public relations team of the Carolina Comets. After a breakup she decides to move near her uncle who helps her get the job. During one of those first nights in the city, she meets an irresistible stranger with whom she shares a night stand. A few months later, she meets him again at her new place of work . Owen Smith is the veteran of the team, his whole life dedicated to the game until the night he met Emilia. They mutually agreed to pretend that nothing had happened but it only worked while they kept their distance but when a new assignment makes them work together it is impossible to keep denying what they feel for each other . The story flows between that night stand and the present with a perfect slow burn in which it is inevitable not to fall in love with them and enjoy every part, a really good page turner . Sexy, hot and heart swooning forbiden sport romance between a grumpy Hockey player and a sunny workaholic public relations with age gap
