Sin Bin

A Carolina Comets Standalone

De: Teagan Hunter

Narrado por: Tim Paige, Callie Dalton

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.

Sin Bin is a standalone age gap, forbidden romance, hockey romcom with lots of steam, wit, and fun!

Laugh out loud, 2nd chance (kinda) hockey romance

Teagan Hunter’s Carolina Comets series is such a great read if you’re looking for a sports romance that is easy to read and hilarious. Sin Bin is the 4th book in the series and I was so excited to get an audio copy from Teagan and Valentine PR! I binged this series at the end of last year so getting to relisten to it on audio was amazing- it’s such a comfort read.

Sin Bin follows Emilia, social media guru for the Carolina Comets and Owen, a Comets player. When Emilia is assigned to do a player profile on Owen, things get a little tricky since they actually met 2 years prior and had a one-weekend-stand before they realized they worked for the same organization. Their chemistry hasn’t gone away over the last two years though, and keeping themselves in check is just a little harder than they hoped it would be.

This book made me laugh and the narrators did a phenomenal job with Emilia and Owen. If oyu want a laugh-out-loud sports romance, this series is the one for you (both as a book and in audio)!

Great book in the series!

I have been waiting for Smith and Emilia's story! We have gotten bread crumbs dropped throughout the other books and I couldn't wait to see what happened between these two!

Once again this story brings the witty banter along with the heartfelt moments. Smith and Emilia have a forbidden relationship and of course when you have that, what can go wrong? When it comes down to it though, these two show up for each other and I couldn't love them more. I love that Smith is an older hero since my husband and I are 10 years apart I can totally relate. Great story in this series!

Loved the narration. It really kept me engaged and into the story.

I love this series so much!!

I absolutely love every one of these Carolina Comets!! Smith and Emilia are so great together. The chemistry between the two was fire from the start. I’ve been waiting for this story through the last 2 books in the series and it did not disappoint. I love the risk factor involved in their forbidden relationship and the sacrifices made were beautiful!! Tim Paige and Callie Dalton were so perfect in bringing these two to life!! Now I can’t wait for Miller!!!

More hockey fun

Smith and Emilia deliver more laughs and love in Sin Bin. The series keeps us entertained. It does not get old. The narrators made Smith and Emilia come alive. The up and down emotions were done well and made the story believable. Our characters have fun but real life interferes and they have to make a choice that could end their careers or leave them broken hearted.


Age gap/ he is 38 and she is 28. Lots of laughs and jokes.
Forbidden romance: Owen(Smith) and Emilia met 3 years ago and had a weekend stand. Then they realize their true identities. He is a NHL star and she works for the team. It’s against the rules to date the players.
Close proximity: to get a promotion, Emilia has to do one last assignment. She had to film and report on Smith for team fans. They can’t keep their hands off each other.
This story had plenty of fun. The banter and text messages were fun and sometimes dirty and steamy.
The chemistry between our characters was off the charts. Of course we get to revisit the other characters. They are a family and as with most family, they stay in your business.

loved it!

Omg Smith was amazing!! I loved his story. Such a great hockey book! I love seeing all the different relationships throughout this series.

Clueless meets clever and proves hard to resist.

Clueless meets clever and proves hard to resist. Hunter is at her best when she breaks all the rules of romance with tempting accuracy. Smith and Emilia fit that pattern to a "T". Between forbidden attraction and irresistible romance, Sin Bin is a "WINNER". Hard to forget, easy to love.

Loved Emilia & Smith!

This is one of those books where the chemistry is off the charts and I felt it through the entire book! Emilia and Smith/Owen have a weekend stand. Yes, an extended one night stand that is unforgettable. Thinking they would never see each other again, imagine the surprise when they end up working together two years later! But there is a strict rule, no fraternizing with the team. Can they stay apart? This is the best forbidden, working together, sports romance that I have heard in a long time! I love the dynamic Emilia and Owen, as they navigate secret meetings and try to keep feelings from entering the picture. It's interesting the ambition and decisions that are made regarding work, and the way family and friends influence things. Teagan Hunter has scored another goal with this one!

Tim Paige and Callie Dalton continue their narration of this fantastic hockey series. I love that they keep previous characters with their same voices and come up with new ones that match the personality of the main characters perfectly. It's a wonderful, romantic listen!

Age gap, forbidden, hockey romance!

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).

Sooo good!

I know you guys are probably sick of me talking about this series, but you’re going to have to deal with it. Like, 𝒽𝑒𝓁𝓅 𝓂𝑒 𝒽𝑒𝓁𝓅 𝓎𝑜𝓊. The books are good, but the AUDIOBOOKS…whewwwwwww! Especially this one.

Emilia meets Smith in a bar after a bad break up. She decides to go home with him for a weekend between the sheets (a steamy weekend because Smith is a total 𝒅𝒂𝒅𝒅𝒚) before starting her new job in the social media department for the NHL team coaches. They parted ways, agreeing to never see each other again. Imagine Emilia’s surprise when she shows up to her first day of work to find that Smith is a player on the team. They immediately know they can’t move forward with any type of relationship…which works well enough for the next 2 years.

Up for a promotion, Emilia is saddled with the task of following Smith for a player profile. What starts as business ends up turning into pleasure when the 2 can’t fight the pull any longer. The team has a very strict “no fraternization” policy, but will this couple be able to keep from getting caught doing just that?

Smith is 10 years older than Emilia, which really makes for some good banter between the 2. He’s also super broody and yummy the male narrator is 𝘴𝘱𝘰𝘵 𝘰𝘯 with it. As always, Teagan’s audiobooks hit and I will definitely be circling back around for a re-listen of this one.

Audio just hits differently

I knew I loved it, but I loved it so much more when it came to life. Smith 4eva.
