“Damon could touch a place in my heart and soul no one ever could.” ~Ariel
Gina Sevani blew me away with her debut novel, Beautifully Damaged, and there are really no words to adequately describe how very much I loved Beautifully Devoted!!!!
The book picks up with Ariel and Damon finally in a relationship. I knew any relationship Ariel found herself in would scare her and possibly cause her to run. However, I should have never estimated my Damon! He’s “beautifully devoted” to his girl, and he will never let her go!
“The thing was--and she would learn it fast—I would always chase after her.” ~Damon
There isn’t a lot of drama between the two of them which I LOVED!!! It’s more about Damon getting her trust him, and most importantly, herself! I was so proud of our girl; she really grows in this book. The book was highly emotional, and I shed tears of sadness and tears of complete joy! The sex between the two is off the charts hot, yet beautifully erotic! It’s sex filled with emotion and feeling, and isn’t that the best kind?
Sevani did an amazing job of including stories from the secondary characters, hopefully setting us up for their stories. And, the icing on the cake for me was Ariel’s relationship with her grandmother. It was so incredibly special and reminded me of my sweet grandmother and made me miss her. It brought back such bittersweet memories of the time I had with my own grandmother, so thank you from the bottom of my heart, Gina!
I am an avid reader, and I love nothing more than being pulled into a book and the characters to the point of forgetting real life for a bit, and Gina Sevani has now done this to me twice!!!! I have a feeling this isn’t the end for the characters, and I’m hoping and crossing my fingers that we will get Sean and Shay’s story. I didn’t think any couple could be hotter than Damon and Ariel, but Sean and Shay may give them a run for their money!
