Devros

Embedded Duet #1

by Echo Hart

Life...
We are born and raised with values to the best of our parents’ abilities, so that one day we can be set free in the world as respectable and contributing members of society.
If we are lucky, we flourish and find our happily ever after; The one person who tilts our world on its axis. The person we hope to spend our life with, to start a family with, and pass on to them what our parents instilled in us.
Ten years ago, I fell madly in love.
It was toxic.
It was forbidden.
It was wrong.
I did the right thing; I walked away.
Because I, Laney O’Neil, am a good person…
Then why have I spent the last nine years wishing I didn’t do the right thing? Why do I still crave his touch and dream of the way he set me on fire?
Simple, because the power he had over my body was like nothing I’ve ever had again since him.
I want his brand of toxic.
I want forbidden.
I want wrong.
I want him.
So much for being a good person, huh?

OMG No 😢

😭 My hands are shaking....literally
It began so beautifully - they were perfect together - it was a lapse in judgment - a belief that their love was so perfect it could never be tarnished or misunderstood
A choice made in a moment of pain would leave behind a wake of devastation and loss that may never be repaired
This does end on a cliffhanger and it is quite the cliff to be hanging from
I appreciate when an author can bring me into a story to the point that I feel as though I am there in the scenes - experiencing the characters emotions basking in the glow and crying in the darkness - Hart does that with Devros
This is a very emotional journey that will leave you a bit shattered when the truth is revealed
I need book two yesterday!

Wow!!! I was hooked from the very first sentence.. That ending had me like wow.. I am so glad that Debbie introduced me to Echo Hart.. I was addicted to Luther and Laney! I can honestly say this book is an emotional rollercoaster, my emotions was all over the place while reading. I loved how this book could have a giant smile on my face one moment and the very next have me on the verge of tears. I was glued to this book, its a real page turner. I could not sit my kindle down. I cannot wait to find out what happens, my heart needs to know! This book is honestly AMAZING and a must read. Go get your copy of this book, you will not be sorry...

This was the first book I’ve read by Echo Hart and it was amazing! I started and finished this book in the same day I was hooked from the beginning and didn’t want to put it down. I highly recommend reading this book and I can’t wait for book 2!!!

Wow! Echo Hart has mastered the art of creating captivating stories that will tug at your heart and rip at your soul. Devros will transport you into a world overflowing with secret desires and intense moments that will have you holding your breath until the very last page. Prepared to be taken on an emotionally dark and sinfully sexy journey of forbidden love that makes this book impossible to put down. Echo's words will leave you on the edge of your seat, panting, and begging for more.

Luther Devros oozes sex appeal.
Laney O'Neal still craves his touch.
Their love is a battle between right and wrong.
However, the heart wants what it wants, regardless of the consequences.

Devros is explosive and HOT. This book will have you hooked from the very first page. It's addictive and seductive and will leave you needing more.
I LOVED this book, and I can't wait for the next! I'm so ready to see how this story ends!

Echo Hart was a new, fresh faced author to me just one short year ago. I was introduced to her debut work by a fellow reader. I saw so much potential and continued reading The Light Series to be dazzled by her next book and the growth her writing showed. She now has begun the Embedded Duet and I have read part one - Devros. I have been completely blown away. Devros is a novel of taboo romance. Laney follows her friend Trisha into "The Mansion" to observe this alternate life style. While observing a couple, she is strongly asked to join in the act and she is swept into this world of sexual gratification and experimentation. Devros is her extremely hot partner in this new experience. I can not get enough of the angst and steam from this story. I need to hear more from Devros and Laney. You too will not want to put this one down. Echo Hart has her hook in me and I love it.

[Julia Leonard · Rating 5 out of 5]

OMG!!!!
The story of Alaina and Luther was off the charts heat wise.
They couldn't get enough of each other.
Like with all love stories something comes up at one point or another.
Without giving too much away, from the ARC...
There is definitely a cliffhanger it only leaves you wanting more.
Looking forward to "Embedded" coming soon....
Well done Echo Hart....
Leaving me hanging on the proverbial ledge.

[Katrina Haynes · Rating 5 out of 5]

Omg.. I love this book.. I was lucky to be able to read the ARC and loved the whole thing. It was my 1st book that I read by Echo which now I want to read more of her books. It was 🔥🔥but the ending.. ugh can't wait to see what next💜💜💜

[Kelly C · Rating 5 out of 5]

Omg this book had me hooked the second I started reading it, I couldn’t put it down until I had finished it and omg what an ending!! This book leaves you wanting, no needing more. It is such an amazing read.
I highly recommend this book to everyone. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[Jackie Ashmead · Rating 5 out of 5]

OMG!! This book!! 5 STARS!!! I cannot wait for the next book to come out to find out what happens next! This book definitely was HOT between Laney and Devros and I knew that Laney and Devros were meant to be, even with all the craziness going on, but the question is, will they get the HEA in the next book. Will she leave her husband Gino? Will Gino get what he really deserves after what he does to her? I sure hope does! The ending literally left me on the edge of my seat going WTF and wanting to beat the shit out of Gino, and giving him a slow and painful death, just saying....I cannot wait for the next book! This is seriously an another AMAZING book by Echo Hart!!! LOVE LOVE LOVED IT!!!!!! I cannot say enough about it!!! You Seriously NEEEDDDDD to read this!!!!

[Laila Viking · Rating 4 out of 5]

Not what I expected. The blurb does not at all give away how hot and well written this story is. Nice storyline and plot. Characters well described and develops nicely. Amazing chemistry. It is a captivating story that grows better and better. It has a cliffhanger and I am not that into those but I cannot wait for the next part.
It is a bit dirty, sexy, emotional, passionate but has also got heart and twists.

Devros
By: Echo Hart
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


Laney is in her last semester of college and lets her best friend Trish talk her into going to a party.  Where she ends up having the time of her life.  Never expecting to see either of them again.
Then she happens to run into one of the guys since he has now become her professor.
When Luther sees Laney he wants her and will not take no for a answer.

Then circumstances happen and Laney leaves after graduation.  At their 10 year reunion Laney and Luther run into each other again.  How will Gino take it?

My take on this book:

This book is the first one in a duet and has me wanting the rest now.  It does end on a cliffhanger that will make you crave more.  But it is so well written that you will feel everything. I wanted to jump through the kindle and smack a couple of people.  Trish is a laugh a minute.  I can not wait for more.  Highly recommend.

Till the next book ~ Nancy

[Jodie Tarleton-grose · Rating 5 out of 5]

When one night of fun turns into so many more, the truth eventually comes out… Or at least parts of it. When Laney finds out what she thinks is the entire truth, she makes the decision to run. 10 years later, married to someone she doesn’t love, her best friend talks her into going to her 10 year reunion, only to find the one she really does love has showed as well. As it turns out, Laney’s abusive husband finds out what happened that night while he was hiding in the shadows. Has she paid the ultimate price in her actions that night… or does she get to live to see another day? See ‘Professor’ Devros’ beautiful green eyes… His beautiful face? For that, we have to wait for Embedded, to find out!!!

This story grips you from the inside and will turn your world upside down!

[Amber Holder · Rating 5 out of 5]

HOLY. SMOKES!
This is by far my favorite Echo Hart book! I am currently sitting here wondering how I'm going to survive until Part 2 releases! This was everything I love in a book. If you're reading reviews wondering whether or not to buy this book, let me just say "Buy It!". It will not disappoint!

[Book-Lovin-Momma · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book had that hot for teacher vibe all over it! I loved the story and the plot, and I loved, loved Laney and Luther, but their break up was so long! I can't wait to see what happens next though! The ending blew me away! Sad that this ended in a cliffy!!

[Joy Boutwell · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow- what an amazing book. This story has twists and turns that will keep you on the edge of your seat. The ending will blow your mind. Can't wait for book two.

[Stephanie · Rating 5 out of 5]

From the first chapter to the last, I was consumed by Luther & Laney’s story. I couldn’t put this book down.

While reading, my emotions were all over the place. It has been a while since a book made me feel so happy and then in the next chapter super sad. I love that I felt so much for the characters especially Laney.

Luther & Laney go on one twisty journey that I can’t wait to read the rest of their story.

I voluntarily reviewed this book.

[Tiffany · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is amazing! It will defiantly keep you on your toes and has so many twist! It will make you feel so many emotions and has super steamy scenes that won’t disappoint. This book does end on a cliffhanger since it is a duet and I can’t wait for the next one to see the story continue.

[Paula D · Rating 5 out of 5]

First off the blurb hooked me in right away. Luther and Lacey taboo story but oh so much more. The ending had me a crying mess and I’m totally in shock but can’t wait to read the next book of the series. This book pulls at your emotions full time and I feel the characters in every page. Definitely a book you must read 5/5 stars

[Kim F · Rating 5 out of 5]

An amazing book. Extremely entertaining, captivating and interesting sexy read. I could not put it down. Wonderfully written with strong, intriguing characters. I want to read more from this author. I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

[Shelli · Rating 4 out of 5]

Wow, that ending!! This book was good from start to finish, but the second half was definitely my favorite! It was sexy and sad and very suspenseful towards the end. There was even a little taboo romance thrown in! I can't wait to read the next one!!

[Tyi · Rating 4 out of 5]

Like wow..... The ending... I'm glad there is a book two because I was left hanging. The novella is short and dirty. This is my first read by Echo Hart but it won't be my last.

[Cynthia Carpenter · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book will take you to the edge of your emotions with Laney and Luther's love. It has so many feels you will he laughing and crying and being mad. It takes you thur a relationship that in the beginning was steamy and hot to the slow smolder of love. To heartbreaking truths that will leave you crying. When they meet again the heat and steam is there but with a big obstacle standing in their way. I can not wait to read the next one. I am still reeling from this book will stay with me .

[Jen C · Rating 5 out of 5]

Echo, woman are gonna be the death of me, you can't end a book like THAT!

This book has a past and present storyline. A taboo relationship between a college student and her professor, but it all feels so right to be labelled wrong.

A night of passion leads to an endless love, but then everything she thought he was feeling must have been lies on his end, or was it? Now a decade later is it too late for them both?

[Heather · Rating 4 out of 5]

Well wow....what ending to this book! Can't wait for book 2! Other than a couple of over the top moments in the beginning, I enjoyed it. It is a fairly short read and I finished in a little over an hour. Overall I would recommend it.

[CK · Rating 4 out of 5]

Wow! An amazing start to a new duet! The intensity of laney and Luther’s love is quick, fast and earth shattering. Can’t wait until book 2!

[Debra Sykes · Rating 5 out of 5]

I enjoyed this book.

From start to finish I was hooked.

Alaina and Luther's story was emotional.

I would recommend this book to family and friends.

Thanks for the chance to have read this book and I hope
to read more from you echo Hart.

Thanks for free book.

[JP Harris · Rating 2 out of 5]

Good storyline but this should be marked a short story or novella. Only reason I rated this low is because I want authors to write a complete book!

This is a very well written short story with wonderful characters!
