A review by agrippinaes
Sin Bin by Teagan Hunter
3.0
This was a fun read. The writing was strong and the chemistry between Emilia and Smith was good. The sexual tension between them whenever they were on-page together was really high, the sex scenes were hot and well-written, and they had a really fun dynamic together.
That said - the plot didn’t really do a lot for me. I don’t know why - I’ve read books with similar tropes before. I just didn’t find the execution of the forbidden relationship trope particularly well-done, for me. I didn’t like the gap between their one night stand and the book starting - and the fact that the no-relationships rule only came in at the start of the book. It all just felt very convenient in a way that I found hard to enjoy. On a related note, I didn’t particularly care for the external plot - either his impending retirement or her career dreams.
Basically I liked the romance a lot - that was a lot of fun! But the rest of the book didn’t do a lot for me and I found myself skim reading a lot of it. The ending was pretty sweet and I liked how it worked out, but ultimately it was fine. It kept me entertained, there were a lot of positives to be found, and I would read something by this author again.
Content Notes: Sports (ice hockey), forbidden/secret relationship, age gap.
Other:10 years; she’s 28, he’s 38 , rough sex, anal sex, spanking..
