Beautifully Devoted
One look

That was all it took for bad boy Damon Black. He was addicted to the sassy Ariel Montgomery. There was no going back. He wanted to be the one to take all of her pain, all of her suffering away.
Damon had vowed to protect her, always.
His heart, body, and soul belonged to her. He was hers to cherish or hers to ruin. The challenge was, Ariel had a lock fastened around her heart, and he was searching for the damn key. We all have demons, hers were just a hell of a lot stronger than most. Damon didn’t know what their future held but he knew beside her was right where he belonged.
When Ariel Montgomery confessed her deepest, darkest secrets to Damon Black, she finally started to feel the chains that restricted her heart give way. He was the man she loved and who loved her unconditionally. Damon knew everything about her horrific past, a past that has held her heart hostage for years.
Life should have been perfect but Ariel was still haunted by the ghosts of her past.
Will Damon’s love be the key to open Ariel’s heart or will she allow the past to destroy the home she has finally found in Damon’s arms? Will she be strong enough to stay and fight for the future she desperately wants or will she make the biggest mistake of her life and walk away from a once in a lifetime love?

“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!

Damon and Ariel are perfect for each other, at least Damon thinks so. Ariel still feels she is not good enough for Damon. Can Damon get her to see what he sees? As Ariel meets Damon's family for the first time, she worries they will not want her with Damon once they learn about her past. Is she worrying for nothing, or will his family be reluctant to welcome her?
Damon is surprised to hear what a great singer Ariel is, and vows he will help her reach for her dreams. Will Ariel be grateful when she finds out what Damon has done, or will she be upset that he went behind her back without consulting her?
Will Damon and Ariel get their happily ever after, or will Ariel still be afraid of losing Damon and push away the best thing in her life?
I hope this isn't the last we hear of Damon and Ariel. I sense there is more that needs to be written to their story. I also hope to read more about Sean and Shay, Travis and Kenzie, and Big Joe and Trish. There are a lot of great stories that need to be told. I look forward to reading more from Gina Sevani.

The beautiful sequel to Ginas debut novel Beautifully Damaged. Even though Damon and Ariel are now in a relationship they are both still battling Ariels demons. This book is just like the title says, a beautiful tale of two people that have no idea how to have a successful relationship but try their best. Damon just new me away. He is romance personified. I loved how he loved Ariel. There's something so magical about his utter devotion to her and Gina writes it to perfection. It's really lovely to see how much the author has grown since her first book too. You can really see how she is beginning to develop her writing skills. I'm so excited to see where she takes not only these characters but any others she is yet to bring us.

“You’re perfect! But if you have demons, I’ll chase them all away.”
Damon and Ariel what can I say they are perfect for each other. As their story continues in this book ariel faces with her demons and her past afraid of what her future might hold with damon.
Damon the true Romeo he is , loves Ariel unconditionally.
This is what love is about , love no matter what obstacles come their way , to be there for each other.
I loved all the characters..Great story.Hope this isn't the end for them.

Beautifully Devoted by Gina Sevani was a book I was dying to read after finishing her debut of Beautifully Damaged. To say the least, I was not disappointed and absolutely loved it!!! This novel flowed perfectly from book one and gave me the more to Damon and Ariel's story that I was so anxiously waiting for.
Ariel Montgomery, continuing to battle her past, doesn't think she is the pure soul Damon believes she is and still isn't quite positive she deserves him. She is getting better and is overcoming many of her demons and insecurities but is she really 'the one' for him? Can she make him the happiest he can be?
Damon Black is just as completely in love with Ariel as she is with him. He knows that she is still dealing with her past and he wants to help her. He wants to make all of her dreams come true. But can Damon make Ariel understand that his own dream is one that he can't achieve without her? Can he prove to her that she is it for him and that he can't truly be happy without her being with him for the rest of their lives?
They are both incredibly happy together and their lives seem like they can't get any better. Everything is perfect. That is, until Damon starts acting strangely and Ariel isn't the only person to take notice. Even Sean and Travis claim to have never seen Damon acting so weird. Of course, Ariel assumes the worst but what is really going on? Will Ariel's assumptions be right? Will Ariel leave, believing Damon will be better off without someone as damaged as her in his life? Or will Damon prove Ariel wrong and be up to nothing at all? There are so many possibilities of how this story ends and I strongly urge you to discover the conclusion on your own.
Gina Sevani did an amazing job continuing Damon and Ariel's story and I'm hoping we get more! Whether it's more from Damon and Ariel, Sean and Shay, Trish and Big Joe, Kenzie and Travis, or even Grams, I would be ecstatic to read anything from Gina! I loved every character in this book and they are all unique in their own ways. I highly recommend this book! I adore the genuine devotion Damon has for Ariel and believe it is what hooked me from the very beginning.

The problem with falling in LOVE with a series that is not finished is having to wait for the next installment to be written, especially one that pulls at your heartstrings and has you begging for more. You know that moment when you finish a book and think, “Wait, there has to be more....” UGH!!! Beautifully Devoted did not disappoint in the least bit. In fact, the story flowed so amazingly from Beautifully Damaged into Beautifully Devoted that anyone who hadn’t read the first book would still be able to pick up this amazing story and dig right in. Obviously, they’d miss a lot of amazing storyline from book 1, but they could easily hold their own.
Ariel continued her healing in order to begin to restore her trust in others. She was able to start to open up and let others in her life, thus allowing the true Ariel, the woman she is, to really shine! In the process of her healing, she was better able to identify those around her who are also suffering and offer help to them.
Damon continued to be the sexy, hunky, delicious rock that supports Ariel. His devotion and love for her was— just for lack of a better word—dreamy. You know somewhere inside he has his own issues, but he is just so focused on his relationship with Ariel and his band that they are a non-issue at this point.
I have little to no patience (Trust me, my husband would agree!) and feel there needs to be a petition for Gina to be locked away in a luxurious tower and focus only on book 3. This was the best book hangover I’ve had in a while. I literally almost cried when I hit the button on my kindle and saw “The End” on the bottom of the page. I didn’t even realize I was at the end of the book. An amazing story and I cannot wait to see where book 3 takes us. Thank you, Gina!!!!

*I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review*
Damon and Ariel’s story continues in Beautifully Devoted. After Ariel reveals her tragic past to Damon, they both start to move forward in their relationship. She still struggled with what happened and he was always there to help her. Things were going well and Ariel couldn’t have been happier. Then Damon started acting distant, even secretive. What the hell was going on?
I was very happy to read more Ariel and Damon! I was rooting for them in book one. I love how their love had no games or drama. Damon wasn’t going to give up on Ariel and that got me right in the feels. It’s nice to read about a man who isn’t all Alpha male beating on his chest. Make no mistake though, Damon is all man! Nice transition from the first book and I’m hoping there is a 3rd book…*crossing fingers* I give this 4 stars

FIVE EPIC STARS *****
In Beautifully Devoted, Gina Sevani does an amazing job of allowing the reader a front row seat into the complexities and intricacies of Ariel Montgomery and heart throb rocker bad boy Damon Black's relationship. I loved these characters and how they grew and the depth of emotions behind the words that Sevani weaved. I could feel the highs and the lows these two experienced but above all I felt Damon's devotion to Ariel. This is one thrilling love story you don't want to miss. Can Damon conquer Ariel's fears? Will Ariel break her bad boy rocker's heart? Is she as devoted to Damon as he is to her?
I was completely captivated by the two and will definitely be reading more from this author.

Ok so I changed up the words that Olivia Newton John sang in the movie Greese, while reading this book I kept humming 'Beautifully Devoted to you'!
We take off from where book one ended with Ariel and Damon finding their way with their ever growing relationship. Throw in the antics of their friends and their own relationship dramas, tears, tantrums and let's not forget a few bloodied noses and we have the right mix for a follow up book from Gina's debut novel.
The best way to describe Gina's work is the only way is up for this author and I will be waiting with baited breathe for more to come.

Well I don't know how but I think I may have loved Beautifully Devoted just a little more than Beautifully Damaged. I felt that Beautifully Damaged was pretty much self contained but Gina Sevani managed to engage me with the development of several other characters introduced in Beautifully Damaged & she took Damon & Ariel's relationship so much further. Ariel has come so far with the help and protection of Damon. Gina takes us to a whole new plain in our relationship with Damon & Ariel with us cheering, swooning & even at times questioning Damon's intentions. Well I hope that from this bright new author we will see the stories of Travis, Sean, Big Joe & Xavier play out as well.

This the continuation of Ariel and Damon story. Damon has broken now some of Ariel ' s wall and it's not been easy but it's been worth it. Damon loves Ariel so much and can't even imagine what she's been through but he wants her to feel at home , to feel like she has a family. Damon is truly amazing he wants Ariel to live her dream to not give up and he will make sure she doesn’t. My heart swoons for Damon. This series is amazing.

Definitely continue to love this series. Now with the past brought forward, the characters are all beginning to find their true love. Damon & Ariel are so made for each other. The stories of the other characters are sounding amazing and so ready to hear about them, Sean & Shay and Travis & Kenzie.

This 2 book series about Ariel and Damon is heart-wrenching and healing both at the same time! I fell so in love with both the characters it hurt to finish the books!
October 7, 2017
Ariel is beautiful, brave, courageous and so strong. She is also still battling her demons, she still hurts for the loss and tragedy of her family and she finds it so hard to trust. Since telling Damon her secrets and him still loving her, being absolutely devoted to her she feels she now needs to tell his family and their friends, whatever the outcome she wont come between him and those he loves. The emotions are so raw, you hurt for this awesome character. To have witnessed what she did, to realise what she needed to do and to be strong and brave enough to do it takes something I'm not sure I would ever have strength enough to do no matter how much I wanted to. Damon is her rock loving her so deeply he would give anything to take any pain away from her, protect her and give her hearts desire. You just know he would never hurt her so any secrets would be something for her. We do get a bit more of Sean and Shay as well as the other friends in this book, starting to get their stories and how they intertwine with Damon and Ariel. Deeply moving story that has you so engrossed you almost feel their pain and laugh with them during lighter moments, I must say I held my breath a few times as well. This authors very first book was absolutely outstanding and this is equally so, I had other books I should have read before this but just couldn't stop myself from diving into this. It picks up where the first ends which is lovely as you don't get a jump in time leaving a gap, and even though the first wasn't really a cliff hanger end it is nice to get a more complete story. I really love Damon and how much he loves and cares for Ariel, it is exactly what she needs and I just wish I could actually hear them singing together the story makes them sound so amazing. This series comes across as so real, it doesn't read like fiction, the pain and emotions are something nearly every person alive goes through at some point. OK yes I know Ariel's is maybe a bit more extreme considering but the loss, hurt and trouble trusting is very real. Well done Gina fantastic follow up.

Sometimes book 2 of a series can be a letdown. Not so in this case. Sevani takes you deeper into her characters. It's more passionate, more volatile, and more heart-wrenching than the first. And that's saying something. This series has converted this normally PNR/UF only reader to a contemporary lover. At least, for this series. I highly recommend it. No slow spots, no disappointments

Love!!
Ariel and Damon's story captured my heart and mind in the first book. This book justified my thoughts. Looking forward to reading the next book in the series!
