I should stay away.

Emilia Anderson is the team’s social media manager, and there are strict rules about not fraternizing with the staff. It doesn’t matter that we already accidentally broke them—we can’t let it happen again.

Besides, my time in the NHL is winding down, and this is my last shot at winning the Cup. I need to focus on the game, not some girl I have no business chasing.

She’s ten years younger than me.
She’s the assistant coach’s niece.
And she works for the team.

She’s off-limits…and too hard to resist.

I know better than to play this game...

But it looks like I’m heading to the sin bin.

This is my favorite book out of the series not because of the personalities but because for once the guy have up and chose the girl.
Finally the girl chose her career over the guy

I've loved the 'Carolina Comet's' series, and I was excited to get Smith and Emilia's book. I love a good forbidden/workplace romance and this one hit the spot!

Smith and Emilia met around 2 years before the here and now. They had a memorable weekend together and found out they would be working together. Smith is a veteran player on the Comets. In his late thirties, he's been on the team his entire career, and Emilia not only is doing PR but is one of the coach's nieces.

Being together wouldn't bode well for either of them, specifically Emilia so they've been keeping their distance. For two... long... years. Now Emilia is tasked with doing a player profile on Smith and they truly can't stay away from one another.

I loved so much about this one. Watching Smith and Emilia together, getting their flashbacks of that night, along with the other character's appearances I've met and loved along the way. This is such a fun hockey series and I'm glad it's not over yet. I have a feeling Miller's book is going to be something else entirely!

If you've read the other books in this series, you already know that this is the couple we've been dying for. I guess I should say one of the two couples who we have been dying for. Miller will be upset if I forgot about him.

Even if they don't play a significant part in the other books, the link between them is always there, even though they aren't going to do anything about it. It's time to switch things up!!

The book briefly jumps back and forth between the present and the past in the beginning. This is so we can understand what transpired between the two of them years before. Although we can now read exactly what happened, I believe we have all had our own opinions about what occurred and are aware of what transpired between them. And wow, was it hot. I loved it!

For the past two and a half years, Emilia Anderson has been the Carolina Comets' social media manager. However, she and her colleague Blake are the top candidates for the position of director of media relations. They both created a player profile that was so successful that they are using it once more. And the player everyone was most interested in learning more about was Owen Smith. It will be challenging to convince him to accept this, though.

One of the older players for the Carolina Comets is Owen Smith. Similar to every other hockey player, he has dedicated his entire life to the sport. He's not sure how much longer the Comets will keep him, though, and, given his advanced age, he may have to retire. It's obvious that he doesn't want this to occur. Additionally, he rejects doing his player profile.

Given that Smith is a fairly private individual, it makes sense that fans choose him for the player profile. The only issue is that this means Smith and Emilia can no longer ignore one another. Nobody is aware of what has occurred between them, and nobody can be aware of it. The sooner they finish, the sooner they can resume ignoring one another.

They will have an issue with that, though. No matter how closely these two are connected, they will be unable to stop it. They genuinely can't do anything about it, despite how much they want to be together. Any romantic relationships with players are prohibited and will lead to Emilia losing her job. Emilia is also the niece of Smith's coach. They are screwed, to put it briefly.

But none of that will take place unless they find out that these two have been seeing each other. Unsurprisingly, their bond is so powerful that they must take action and get together. Nothing will be ruined by what others don't know. . .

This is the best book of the series, hands down!! I always love the forbidden trope, because all the feels and angst are truly top notch, and my masochistic heart loved every moment of it. Plus all that combined with Smiths filthy mouth-- sign me UP!!

So when Emilia first moved to the city after a terrible break up, her and Smith had a one night stand which turned into a whole weekend of them truly connecting and starting something so beautiful.. only for them to realize who the other really is. Emilia is the niece to his coach, and there relationship is about as forbidden as you can get, especially with Emilia being the teams new social media manager. Whoops!

A few years have passed and they have both fought their connection to each other and stayed away, but when Emilia is tasked to do a social media profile so the fans can truly get to know the man behind the hockey mask, they just can't hide it anymore. Every longing look, every touch, every stolen kiss and heartfelt confession makes them want what they can't have more than anything-- but is there a way for them to finally be happy? Or will they always be a dirty little secret?

The chemistry between these two is just out of this world!! It's like I could physically feel their want and need for each other, and when they finally gave in, it was everything!! (There is definitely some one handed reading material here too. *winks.) And it wasn't just their sexual chemistry that was so amazing, but the undeniable love they have for one another is what took my breath away. Yes they are forbidden. Yes there's and age gap. It seems like everything is stacked against them, but with a love this big, this right, does all that truly matter?

To say I loved this book is a big understatement. I love this whole series, but this book especially is on a whole other level. Don't miss out on this one!!

**I received an ARC of this book and these are my honest opinions **





**********************************?

I'm gonna send this book to my husband when it releases, because being called a good girl with a dick shoved in my mouth is clearly what I've been needing.🤷‍♀️🍆

But really, this is my favorite book of the series. The feels, the angst and all the fucking steam was EVERYTHING. Don't miss out on this delicious forbidden hockey romance!!

"I didn't realize I was missing something so important in my life until you. I didn't realize that I could feel this way about anything other than hockey until you. I didn't realize that I wanted more out of life than hockey until you. But I do. I want it all."

4.5 stars!

Hot damn. I am so freaking glad that I took a chance on this series and author with Rhodes and Ryan's book because I have come to love this series and these characters so freaking much! We got a tiny glance of Smith and Emilia in the previous book, so I was excited to finally get their story here. Smith was such a hawt and dominating hero, and he just really knew the right things to say...and do. Emilia was a strong and relatable heroine, even though I connected more with Smith and his "grumpy" tendencies, haha. I am SO STOKED to finally get Miller's book next as I have been waiting a while for it and I just know that he won't disappoint!!

Tropes: age gap, forbidden romance, workplace romance, daddy kink, hockey romance, dominating hero, one-night stand, fling, secret relationship

Age Gap
Forbidden Love
Sport Romance

No me gustó tanto como los dos anteriores pero si estuvo bonito y entretenido.
Tenemos un romance prohibido, ella trabaja en las relaciones públicas y redes sociales del equipo donde juega Smith y hay una política donde no se puede tener un romance con jugador del equipo.
Ellos se conocieron dos años antes tuvieron un fin de semana apasionado, hasta que se dieron cuenta que iban a trabajar juntos, aparte ella es sobrina del entrenador y diez años menor que él y deciden evitarse.

Ahora a Emilia la van a ascender de puesto y no se puede dar el lujo de tener un romance con él y por otra parte puede ser la última temporada de Smith en el equipo y de su carrera y quiere levantar la copa por lo que no se puede dar el lujo de distracciones.
Pero tienen que trabajar juntos y la química, la tensión sexual y el deseo no se poder ocultar.

Es muy rápido de leer es entretenido y toda la serie vale la pena ser leída y tiene unos clichés muy buenos.
Ahora a esperar el libro de Miller que es uno de mis personajes favoritos.

I loved Smith and Emilia!!! These two were dynamite. Emilia is the media relations manager to Smith’s hockey team, and a relationship between the two of them is strictly forbidden. However, these two got together before learning they were going to be coworkers. That was a fun surprise, and they spent two years staying away from each other until they can’t stand it anymore.

Emilia is up for a promotion and her task is to spotlight Smith over the course of the season, which puts them in very close proximity and of course pushes them past their resolve. While they were definitely the hottest couple so far, there was also something really sweet about their history and relationship. Adored! I can’t wait for Miller and Scout’s story!

I flew through Emilia and Smith's story. These two kept me on the edge of my seat just because they kept me waiting when they were going to realise that they were not fooling anyone about their feelings for each other. As much as I loved their characters individually, I loved them together even more. The chemistry and sexual tension between them are off the charts. Their witty and sassy banter is really fun. It is just easy for them to be together though they have to hide it.

I really enjoyed their story. I loved the appearances of the previous couples too. And Miller definitely stole the spotlight whenever he open his mouth. I can't wait for his story next.

Update 2023 - Still 5+ STARS.
Is this the best hockey series out there? Hear me out! I read a lot of hockey romance and these have just hit differently. Maybe it is because I have fallen in love with the group of characters, but each book I fall a little more deeply in love and usually I am over it way before book four.
Emilia and Smith had a fling two and a half years ago. It was one weekend. Both of them were going through a heartbreak, Emilia from love and Smith from hockey. They met at Slapshots and went on to have the best weekend of their lives. No strings, nothing more.
Fast forward a few months, she's the niece of his assistant coach and works for the Comets now. She's nothing but off limits even if Smith still can't forget their time together.
Fast forward two years. The tension, the pining, it is all churning and is set to burst now that Emilia has to interview him for a player profile. They have been doing as best as they can to avoid each other until now, but this will be too much.
Smith's pining is unmatched and I honestly will give this book 5 stars on his pining alone. Smith is older and facing the real possibility of retirement too, so this all makes him extra grumpy, especially when he can't have exactly what he wants.
What I enjoyed was the fact that neither of these characters were terribly young, it made it all the more believable to me that they knew what they wanted and were willing to fight for it.

Smith and Emilia were hinted in the previous book of the series, and I was dying to know more about them because of the age gap and the forbidden aspect of their relationship. Sin Bin didn’t disappoint! It was everything I was expecting.

God, I love it so much when romance books start with a one night stand. I seriously don’t know why since I’ve never had one (LOL), but whenever it happens in a book, I know I’m going to love it. Maybe it’s the intimacy that triggers an emotional connection so they can’t stop thinking about each other? I don’t know, but it has to be one of my favorite starts ever.

Smith has always been a loner until he met Emilia and their relationship was truly beautiful. It’s always so good seeing the grumpy one falling opening up and falling in love! This book was also so steamy 🥵. This is the steamiest book Teagan has written so far… and omg. I already knew her steamy scenes were good, but this was tooooo good. I can’t and won’t stop reading Teagan’s work.

This series is so good, I can’t recommend it enough if you like steamy sport romances. Every single book has been a huge hit for me. And next book is finally Miller’s… maybe with Scout? I’m so excited!

2.5 stars. This was my least favorite of this series so far and I skimmed most of it. Instalust, illicit affair (because they’re trying to hide from work rules), and negative motivations for both. It was exhausting and just not fun.

They spend 2.5 years apart after a weekend together as strangers. But they work around each other. It made no sense for both of them to be into each other for so long but stay away from being with each other. Ugh. Not my cup of tea.

Light and steamy

The spiciest book in the series yet, this is sexy but not particularly satisfying in the romance department. Told in flashbacks and present day, the story follows two people who had one steamy and memorable two-night stand a few years ago, before they realized that sleeping together would jeopardize both of their jobs. I could EASILY see the chemistry and attraction between them, with tons of texting and playful banter. And the age gap (38/28) paired with an intense hero made for plenty of fan-worthy moments. Where this falters is the actual relationship development outside of the bedroom - we're told that their weekend together was more than sex, but... we never saw that. And we didn't see much more than longing and spice in present day. So, while I enjoyed jumping back into the series and liked the book as I was reading it, it's likely to be a forgettable read for me.

The story follows Emilia, a woman who is up for a promotion. She's been working for a hockey team for the last few years, and she loves her job - except for one thing. Two years ago, Emilia met a sexy stranger in a bar, and their weekend together was all kinds of memorable. She might have been able to forget Smith if he hadn't shown up at her work soon after. Turns out, Smith is one of the hockey players on the team, and crossing the line again would surely get them in trouble. They've managed to avoid each other for two years, but a player profile brings them together again... and the chemistry sparks back to life. Neither one is willing to give up their job for a relationship, but it's impossible to ignore the attraction.

I've been enjoying this series, and this is another steamy rom com with a great mix of fun and sexy moments. You can read it as a standalone, but there are lots of references to past couples. The story is low angst overall, though the forbidden vibes give it a bit of an edge. So does the steam; Smith is an intense guy in the bedroom, making this the spiciest book I've read from Hunter yet. There's a lot to love about the story, but I do wish that we'd seen more of their first weekend together. Being told that they connected outside of the bedroom and being shown that they connected are two very different things, and much of the story relies on that initial meeting. That's also perhaps why I found the sex scenes to be impersonal and a little aggressive - without seeing the emotional connection, they didn't hit the same way. But I really liked both characters, I liked seeing the previous couples again, and I'm looking forward to the next book - so it's a win overall.

Hokejisti z Carolina Comets sú proste zlatíčka. Tentokrát nám autorka predstaví Smitha, ktorého príbeh nám nenápadne načrtla už v predchádzajúcej knihe a ja som len rada. Tentokrát udalosti môžeme sledovať z iného uhla a vidieť, čo sa dialo počas toho, čo bola pozornosť upriamená na Lowella a Hollis.

Smith a Emília mali spolu pred rokmi ,,pletky”, ale nikto o tom nevie, pretože zamestnanci nesmú mať vzťah s hráčmi a naopak. Hoci odvtedy ubehli už roky a obaja sa navzájom obchádzali, tak je nepopierateľné, že aj napriek tomu na seba pôsobia ako dva magnety.

Patria k sebe, ale nesmú spolu byť, pretože ani jeden z nich nechce odhodiť svoju vybojovanú kariéru. Takže sledujeme ako sa k sebe približujú, hoci by sa nemali a už len čakáme, kedy sa to celé pokazí.

Pro každom ďalším príbehu mám pocit, že je môj najobľúbenejší z tejto série a tým len dávam na známosť, že autorka to proste vie podať správne, krásne, citlivo, ale aj poriadne sexy.

Síce to nemá na trojku, ktorá ostáva mojím favoritom, má to k nej sakra blízko, pretože... KONEČNE si hrdina vybral JU. *heart eyes*

Trópy ako age gap a forbiden romance sú jedny z mojich NAJ, takže táto časť mi rozhodne sadla do noty. Rovnako tak aj postavy, pretože Smith bol už v predošlých častiach riadne tajomný a zaujímalo ma, prečo bol stále taký mrzutý. Na to, aké rady dával chlapcom v predošlých častiach, tipovala som ho na skrytého romantika. A pravda bola... niekde v polovici.

Emilia a Smith spolu kedysi strávili jednu dokonalú noc, pričom netušili, že ich osud raz zvedie dohromady.
Nechcem veľa prezrádzať, pretože opäť raz ide o oddychovku, ktorá je svižná, napätie medzi hrdinami by sa dalo krájať a vyvrcholenie neskôr stojí za to (obrazne aj doslova, lol).

Taktiež mi nedá nespomenúť chalanov z tímu, tí sú proste úplné zlatíčka, aj tí, pri ktorých by človek mohol sprvu váhať.
Ak ste si v predošlých častiach obľúbili Millera, tešte sa, pretože tu dostanete sneak peek na to, čo sa bude diať v pokračovaní. :)

This series has honestly just been one of my favorites and every book just HITS. This book is no different from that. I’ve been anticipating Sin Bin for so long and it didn’t disappoint. It’s such an enjoyable read with two characters that have insane chemistry. I enjoyed the past and present chapters for the way we see how Emilia and Smith have developed all throughout, and you get a better understanding of the situation they’re in.

Both Emilia and Smith are intriguing characters and I loved getting to know them more in depth. I enjoyed both point of views and getting an understanding of the way they feel. The connection they have is one of my favorite parts of this book and the way it all builds up is written so well.

Opäť super oddychová jednohubka. Hlavné postavy boli neskutočne sympatické a dávam jedno bezvýznamné plus hlavnej hrdinke Emilii, že bola redheadka 😂🫶🏻
Vzhľadom k jej práci je v knihe môj obľúbený tróp zakázaná láska a celkom mi to zápletkou pripomenulo knihu Mile High. Taktiež obľúbený age gap, v tomto prípade 10 ročný. Oceňujem, že sa hrdinovia okolo tohto príliš nemotali a nemali s vekovým rozdielom problém. Dosť som si užila Smitha kedže bol starší hneď to bolo poznať na posteľových scénach 😮‍💨 a celkovom vystupovaní. Teenage lásky ma v tomto období nejak prestali baviť 😄 Pobavili ma aj spoluhráči, ktorí si ho doberali, že je starec a tiež fanúšičky, ktoré mu dali zase nálepku daddy 😆👌🏼 Trochu ma zamrzel dosť zrýchlený koniec a že bol priebeh hokejového zápasu vložený do jediného odstavca. Inak bez chybičky 🥰

Every single book in this series is so freaking good! Smith is an aging hockey player who is questioning if he wants to stay in the game or not and Emilia is on the media team for the Comets who is up for a promotion. Smith have crosses paths before but with a strict rule of employees not being allowed to date players. Smith and Emilia must avoid their tension at all costs. They decide to keep a secret bubble but what happens when it pops? The puzzle made my heart melt into a million pieces it was so cute. He knows her coffee order too even after two years. This book was so fun and sweet I loved it!

Sin Bin is the 4th book in Teagan Hunter’s Carolina Comets series and is my fav in the series so far! This is a contemporary, hockey romance series and this one is age gap, forbidden, with mutual pining!

Emilia works for the hockey team as a social media manager and when she finds out the current director is quitting, she’s determined to earn the spot herself. She’s tasked with doing a social media piece on Smith for the season, which means highlighting and following him around. She’s also reminded that relationships between those working for the team and the players are forbidden. The only problem is that she and Smith already slept together…2 years ago.

I loved this couple a ton! They definitely bring the heat and I really liked seeing the flashbacks to when they met 2 years ago at a bar and shared a hot weekend together where they really connected. After their 2 nights together they didn’t see one another again until she showed up for her new job for the team and saw he was a player for the team too. After that they’ve kept their distance but both have been pining for one another since! This one has age gap (he’s 36, she’s 26), which was a lot of fun. I like how the friend group plays a role in all the books, Emilia is best friends with Hollis (heroine of book 3).

Can I just say, I’m willing to spend all my time in the sin bin if any of these Carolina Comets players will be there. And finally, we get the "old man" Smith's story, and it's better than I ever dreamed!

Emilia and Smith may have shared a weekend a couple years ago when she first moved to town and neither had any idea who the other was. Until Emilia shows us for her job as a new social media manager for the NHL team Smith plays for. And, oh yeah, she's the coach's niece!

Well, this is where it gets really interesting. Emilia is tasked with doing a social media profile on Smith, which means practically being his shadow until the end of the season. And those white hot sparks from two years ago go both ways, and it doesn’t take much of a breeze to bring those embers back to a raging inferno.

This is a sports romance, age gap, forbidden love, for you trope lovers, but it's so much more than that. Hunter has a way of drawing you into a story and then toying with your emotions in the best of ways. From laughing to crying and anxious to euphoric, it's an epic roller coaster ride. Funny and smexy with all the feels, you'll love every minute of this phenomenal, satisfying romance!

This forbidden, age-gap, hockey romance was exactly what I was looking for. I haven’t read any of Teagan Hunter’s other sports romances so this can definitely be read as a stand-alone but I will absolutely be going back and reading the rest of the series because I loved this one so much. 
The mutual pining between these too was so perfect. They had one magical weekend together before realizing they’re forbidden from having a real relationship after finding out they work together. Two years later when they are forced to do a project together it’s blatantly obvious their connection hasn’t faded and it’s only a matter of time before they can’t take the forced proximity and it turns into more. 
I loved both these characters but especially Smith, the hero. This was a wonderful low-angst romance and I can’t wait to read more from this author. I listened to the audiobook and it was perfectly done! The narrators were exactly right for their parts and it just made the story even better.

Two and half years ago, Emilia needed to start over so her uncle got her a job in the marketing department of the Carolina Comets. When she was out celebrating her new move and her new job she ran into Smith. Emilia and Smith shared an amazing weekend together and walked away from each other. Until they ran into each other at work but since there is a strict don't date the players Emilia and Smith agree to pretend nothing happened and ignore each other at all costs. Until Emilia is forced to spend all her time with Smith for a player profile so she can get the promotion she has been dreaming of.

A little age gap forbidden romance - sign me right up. I had so much fun with this book. Emilia and Smith had all the fun banter that we have come to love from Hunter. But their chemistry was off the charts and I am pretty sure this was the steamiest book by Hunter. These two were fire. And the bond and relationships between the players is top notch. Loving the Comets and this series. **4.5 Stars**
