Devoted to Love

Shayla Black did not disappoint with this addition to this awesome series. Josiah and Maggie are so great together the chemistry is off the charts. I could not put this book down, plus the twists and turns kept me guessing. I normally can figures out what will happen but this one i didn’t. Of course this series you get to see updates on many of the other characters from previous books and that never gets old. I cannot wait for any other books in this series.

Sultry, sexy, down-right panty-melting. Josiah loves to be a Dom but has sworn off on relationships after getting burned at the altar. When he attends a co-workers wedding, he is captivated by the bride’s sister, Maggie. What starts out as a one-night, no holds barred, sexy fantasy leads him into a mystery at Maggie’s family ranch. Now that he has to stay and unravel the cult that wants her grandparent’s property, will he be able to stick to his one-night plan. Or will she captivate more than his body? Maggie struggles with love after her mother left her as a toddler with her grandparents. She has learned to use and control sex for her pleasure but meeting Josiah, she finds a man that opens up experiences she never dreamed of. When he decides to help her family, she experiences feelings and desires that she thought weren’t possible. Will she realize that love is possible? Josiah and Maggie deliver a hot, steamy romance with a great mystery that kept me guessing. I voluntarily read an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.

Devoted to Love is a standalone book in the Devoted Lovers series. First two books in the series focus on the guys at the EM Security company. First book is focused on Cutter Bryant and actress, Shealyn West. Book 2 is Josiah Grant and Magnolia West's story. Maggie is Shealyns sister. The book starts out right with Maggie and Josiah meeting at her sisters wedding to Cutter. As the wedding is located at Maggie and Shealyns grandparents farm, The guys of EM Security learn of the Enlightenment Fields people. These cult-like neighbors have been harassing the farmers to sell their lands next to them and there is some suspicion of foul play involved. Josiah agrees to stick around after the wedding to look into this cult. If that gives him some time with Maggie, all the better. One look at Maggie and he was completely smitten. A few days and nights with her is just what he needs. While Josiah tries to figure out what's going on with the cult, his crush on Maggie grows expediently. It's the last thing he wants or needs, but Maggie has gotten under his skin and he can't get her out. The same can be said for Maggie. Maggie has trust and commitment issues but Josiah may be the one man who can earn that trust. With any small town setting, there are a lot of side characters that bring a lot to the story. With the danger that increases as the cult gets desperate for the neighboring lands, more EM security men come to lend a hand in Josiah's investigation into the cult. We get a few hints to possible new books in the series. What to expect in Devoted to Love? Intrigue, suspense, and a wild heroine who needs tamed and a hero who looks forward to taming her.
