This is a multi genre romance.

I loved every minute of this best friend’s daughter romance. Judge is a college professor and Devon is the daughter of his best friend. When Devon ends up at the same university where he teaches it’s only a matter of time before they both give in to the feelings they have for each other. I love a good obsessive/possessive romance. Judge is all alpha male and ready to make Devon his woman. This book really brings all kinds of heat, along with great characters, a terrific story, and a perfect ending.

Judge Copeland is a professor at University where Devon Melon decides to attend. He has had feelings for his best friend’s daughter since her teen years. He never acted on his feelings until she was an adult. Devon has also had feelings for Judge that she kept quiet about. Both of them are serious about each other, not just responding to lust. For Judge, he just wants to love and protect her. They both know what they want. Will Devon and Judge make their move now that she is old enough to make that decision?
Holy cow! This a multiple taboo story – older man/younger woman, best friend’s daughter. It’s short and anything but sweet – it’s wicked and decadent, with the very best ending. And I loved it! Judge and Devon are likable people, with real life issues. Their journey has a few speed bumps along the way. The book is well-written, with plenty of detail, despite it’s shorter length. And now, I want to read the rest of the series.

An age gap taboo romance read that had the heat level and sizzle I love in a story. Judge is a professor who happens to have Devon, his best friends younger daughter in his class. What he tried to avoid all this time surges forward as their chemistry explodes in a taboo relationship that cannot be denied. A delightful read from start to finish that will leave you wanting more.
3.5 stars.
The connection and chemistry between these two is so evident and you get to see things from both points of view, taboo themes, issues to deal with, friendships, family, passion, hopes, dreams and deciding to go for what you want, I am glad we got to see their relationship at different stages and a nice HEA.

Oh my sweetness! I think this book filled all of my teacher/student, Dad’s best friend, older man/younger woman romance cravings for a hot minute. I really enjoyed the chemistry between Judge and Devon and I really loved that Devon wasn’t one of the immature heroines that I usually run across in these type of romances. Colleen created a story that captured my attention, she had my heart aching for these two and praying that one of them would make a move – when it had happened, I almost swooned out of my chair. This one is a quicker read that packs a ton of longing, chemistry, steam, and the sweetest happily ever after. It’s perfect for one of those slow work day (which I’m guilty of today) or lunch time reads so you can get your sweet romance fix in.

Devon enrolls in Diamond University making it hard for Judge to ignore his attraction to Devon. Devon is there on a music scholarship she won in a contest. This is the first time they’ve seen together in years. Judge made it his business to stay away from Devon b/c she is too much of a temptation. What Judge Copeland doesn’t know is Devon harbors the same dark desires for him as he does for her. Now alone together in England. Will Devon and Judge face their hidden desires together or ignore it?
I liked this book. I liked the story and the characters. I liked it wasn’t only lust. Judge seemed to fall in love with Devon through the years. He wanted to protect her and just love her. Her love for Judge was not a game to her. It was very honest and pure. Lol. The book is well written. It was repetitive The characters seemed to say the same thing over and over again. Lol. The sex scenes are hot and loving. It is written well. Judge and Devon made love not just had sex. This story is short and sweet. It wraps up beautifully with no questions left to ask. This is the first book I’ve read by this author and it will not be my last. I’m going to sign up for her newsletter. She’s gained a new fan.

This is the 3rd book in Naughty Little Book series. It is hot and steamy. A great fast read. I am looking forward to the next book in this series.
Judge Copeland is an English professor at Diamond University and his thoughts keep darting to a special student he has yet to see. Devon Malone is a recent transfer to Diamond and the best music program in the state. She’s also the daughter of his best friend, John, and should be off limits to him. He has known her almost her entire life but, at her sweet sixteen, he began to see her through different eyes. Now, four years later, he is anxious to see what she has become but concerned about the depth of his feelings. Devon has harbored the same feelings for him since he first tutored her at the kitchen table. Now that she’s studying at the school where he teaches, those feelings are more powerful than ever. Both of them have inner thoughts that are all-consuming and it’s only a matter of time until they find their way into each other’s arms. Their slow burn ignites the night he takes her to an elegant mansion for dinner. Things seem perfect until he tells her that he’s accepted a job in England. This appears to be the end of their intense relationship, but they can’t let it end this way. Their journey to happiness isn’t always easy but it sure is satisfying. Very sweet and sexy!
