I received an arc of Untamed Devil for free from the author to review. All thoughts and opinions that follow are honest and my own.
I really enjoyed Untamed Devil by Melissa Ivers. It is the second in the Nashville Devils series but you can read it as a stand-alone and still understand everything going on in this book.
I’ve always been a fan of hockey and was delighted to be able to read a copy of this one. It didn’t disappoint and I can’t wait for more in the series!
This one is a family-centered drama mixed with romance of the in-denial type and sprinkled with familial duty and southern charm. The characters are great and I felt like they were people I could be friends with. I loved the single-dad aspect of the story. Being a single parent myself, this aspect of the story really touched my heart.
I was confused about Chloe’s age. In some scenes she’s made to sound older (teenish) and in other scenes she seems younger (young child). It doesn’t impact the story, but I just found it confusing. One thing I didn’t care for was that Tag, one of our main characters, seemed very “poor me.” Even though he kept trying to act the opposite way, I felt like it was repetitive in that way.
There were many steamy scenes, so definitely keep that in mind. There is a bit of language as well.
Overall I enjoyed this one and would read it again. I definitely recommend this one, especially if you like hockey, small town romances, southern romances, or the whole in-denial romance trope.
