Wow! Devoted to You is a great story! It pulled me in and held me captive until the very last page. I fell in love with Alyssa and Liam and was their secret cheerleader routing for them to get together.

This is a NEW to me author & books! Thank you to the author for my ARC, and what a read!
I mean hello, Billionaire romance YES YES & YES! Also any time a grandma is involved, you know it's going to be a hoot! I have confirmed that with the amount of books I've read! Grandma's rule, including Alyssa's.

Alyssa's new job is the PA to Mr. Liam Adams. then this quote from the book: "I don't think I can afford it, but fuck it! Let's do it!" This is the story of my life, I mean, seriously!! *face palm* You will definitely relate to Alyssa! Liam, is the ever so SEXY, BILLIONAIRE CEO of his own life. Enough alpha but sweet, if that makes sense. I really liked him! When Alyssa meets a stranger at the bar, things look a little more clear in the morning. Don't think always though. But a new job is a new job, a very much needed one!

The billionaire CEO, ruthless, in control and handsome-sexy & a innocent, beautiful new girl. Probably my favorite combo, this story will give you enough even though it was a shorter read for me. I L O V E D it, for a first read this was awesome! Fast pace-ish, I say ish because it was enough in all aspects. The characters were well written and the story line as well. You get both POV's.

RATING: ★★★★

Hot and passionate

Liam and Alyssa will pull you in from the beginning. Their chemistry is off the charts and the back story makes you want to flip every page to know what is going to happen. A great debut novel for an author you should keep an eye on!

This new author started off with a hot one! Billionaires, boss/employee and even a submissive woman. So many things to desire in one book! I couldn’t put it down because I kept wanting more.

Alyssa seems like a naive young woman who just needs money to take care of her grandmother but when a chance meeting takes place she can’t get this dominate man out of her head. Things heat up and she knows it’s wrong but she can’t help with her young body feels when she’s around him. Despite what her morals tell her to do she can’t help but get caught up in him but when her decision effects her grandma will she end things? I loved Alyssa until she became this back and forth needy woman. I get she’s young and inexperienced but life happens. She should know more than any other woman!! Liam seems true to himself except for all the lying. I get wrapped up in the heat of him too but then get frustrated because something happens that I’m not informed of and makes me question things. His story just seemed unfinished.

It’s a great start off book. She’s got a great story but it feels like it was rushed a little to be finished and I’m missing key facts I need. Like what kind of company does Liam work for and what would lead them into the situation they get into?!? And how can he go from this asshole to sensitive guy to hurting people! Also, his part of the story when it was him didn’t seem male enough, like I could tell occasionally it was a male I was reading about but he had female qualities that shouldn’t have been there. I felt a few whiplashes but in the end that epilogue was perfect. I think this book was great and well put together for it being her debut but it felt a little unfinished at times.

I started reading Devoted to You by S. S. Richards this morning and I immediately fell in love with Alyssa, a 22 year old wirgin, who is living with her grandmother, who raised her. When she goes to work for Liam, a businessman, to earn money for her grandmother’s heart surgery, she not only stirs feelings completely foreign to him, as her innocence delivers him from his dark emotions. He knows she deserves better than him, but when he sleeps with her to get her out of his system, he has no clue how his life is going to change. This is a quick read filled with smoldering sexual encounters, secrets and lies. I devoured each and every page and wished for more. I highly recommend this book by S. S. Richards and look forward to so many more by this author.

I received an ARC of this book for a voluntary review.

How can you not love these characters? 5 stars are not enough. I loved this book so much I did not want it to end. I don't know how some people are hating on it. This book is the best I have read so far this year in my opinion. :D

⭐️⭐️⭐️ 3 STARS

S.S. Richards debut novel can be clearly classified as an enjoyable book! I see considerable promise in her as an author and her writing. I am eager to read her upcoming work!

If you enjoy billionaire romances, Devoted To You is the perfect book for you. While out with her friends celebrating her new job as a PA, Alyssa meets Liam and the instant attraction is undeniable! Little does she know that Liam is a Billionaire CEO and her new boss. Upon that discovery, they find themselves fighting their attraction to one another due to their working relationship.

I recommend reading this book to discover whether they answer the call of the siren song and drown in their passion. I found this to book to be quick and easy to read. Devoted To You by S.S. Richards will join the ranks of the BIBLIO-SUPERIOR!!!

~Thank you to the author for generously providing me an ARC in exchange for an honest review.~

Before I get started on my review, I just wanted to say that I received an ARC version of "Devoted To You" from the author in exchange for an honest review. I hope you enjoy it!

"Devoted To You" by S.S. Richards revolves around the boss/assistant romance between Alyssa Thomson and Liam Adams. This story is told in dual POV, which I really liked because I love reading both sides of the story between love interests. My favorite POV to read was Liam's because his inner dialogue would switch to being hot to adorable. My favorite line in the story was when Liam said in his head "My cute, hungry bunny" when he was having dinner with Alyssa. Such a cute moment! Liam was also so cute when he was sweating bullets as he asked Alyssa out on a date.

I am a true lover of romantic reads, so I am quite critical on the romance between characters. I do enjoy reading boss/assistant romances, and I really liked the instant connection between Alyssa and Liam. However, I felt their relationship moved too fast. I wanted their relationship to build and be more realistic. I feel that this book could have used an additional 20-30 pages to help let their love bloom. I also would have loved a little more heat into their relationship as well. There were a few steamy moments in the story, but in my head, I kept saying "I want more!"

Another thing that I wanted to talk about was the unexpected twist/conflict in the story. I'm not going to spoil what the big conflict was, but I was quite surprised that that was the conflict the author wanted to go with. Even though this conflict was unusual, I do like the originality of it and how it is not the typical evil ex who wants to ruin the relationship type of conflict, which I absolutely hate! The issue is actually a huge worldwide problem right now, so I do appreciate how the author incorporated it into her story.

"Devoted to You" is the debut novel of S.S. Richards, and I highly recommend you check it out! Go give this book and the author a lot of love and support!

Spanish:
“Devoted To You” de S.S Richards es la primera novela de esta autora novel. Es un romance contemporáneo con un poco de suspense, corto y algunos momentos que te deja alguna lagrimita, o en mi caso. Para ser el primer libro lo he disfrutado como nunca y hubo momentos en los que sentía tensión debido a muchas situaciones.

Alyssa Thomson, 22, vive con su abuela y esta a expensas de conseguir un trabajo para ayudarla. Cuando consigue el trabajo de asistente personal de Liam Adams en D.E. Adams Inc, sale a celebrarlo a un club con su mejor amigo Jason. Allí, un hombre no para de mirarla, y su amigo la reta a acercarse a él. Pero parece que no se va a librar de él, ni siquiera en su nuevo trabajo.

Alyssa es una joven, dulce, inocente, pero lo que más me gusto es que tiene un gran corazón. Me conmovió mucho su relación con su abuela, como se preocupaba por ella. También me sentí mucho en su piel en el primer momento de entrar a trabajar en su sitio y sentirte un poco “awkward”. Mr. Adams es el millonario, sexy, alfa pero a su vez dulce. En muchos momentos se sentía perdido ya que sentía cosas por primera vez, pero lo supo manejar bien.
Al principio vi una historia romántica cualquiera pero después el suspense empezó a notarse y me encanto. Igual eche en falta un poco de trama en el final de la historia para aclarar las cosas, pero no estuvo mal. Estoy esperando volver a leer algo nuevo de esta autora.

English:
"Devoted To You" by S.S Richards is the first novel by this new author. It is a contemporary romance with a bit of suspense, short and some moments that leave you some tears, or in my case. Being the first book, I enjoyed it and there were moments when I felt tense because of many situations.

Alyssa Thomson, 22, lives with her grandmother and is at the expense of getting a job to help her. When she gets the job of Liam Adams' personal assistant at D.E. Adams Inc, she goes out to celebrate at a club with her best friend, Jason. There, a man keeps looking at her, and his friend dares her to approach him. But it looks like he's not going to get rid of him, not even in his new job.

Alyssa is a young, sweet, innocent, but what I like most is that she has a big heart. I was very emotional about her relationship with her grandmother, as she cared about her. I also felt very in her skin at the first moment of going in to work and feel a little awkward. Mr. Adams is the millionaire, sexy, alpha, but also sweet. In many moments he felt lost because he felt things for the first time, but he knew how to handle it well.
At first, I saw a romantic story, but then the suspense started and I loved it. Maybe I missed a little plot at the end of the story to clear things up, but it wasn't bad. I'm waiting to read something new from this author again.

Where do I even begin!!

I was hook from the start. My favorite thing when I get sucked into books within the first 5 chapters, this one got me in chapter 2!

I love me some Billionaire romances, I don’t know what it is about them but I just love them. I guess I love how mostly they are about the Hero learning how to be humble and kind.
That is what you get with Liam. I just loved him. I don’t think there was ever a point in this book where I hated him haha.

Then the sweet and kind Alyssa. Oh my heart how I loved her. She reminded me a lot of my own personality. I loved how she kinda found her voice and herself as well.

Overall this was an amazing book! This is S.S. Richards debut novel and she hit it outta the park!!
She definitely has a lifetime reader with me!💗

Devoted to You
By S.S Richards
4 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Release a date May 24

S.S Richards makes her entrance into the indie writing world with her debut novel Devoted to You.

This novel was a fairly quick read. Liam and Alyssa are hot together. Billionaire CEO falls in lust with Alyssa upon first meeting. But as roles (boss and assistant) are revealed both fight the temptation and connection as best they could until the need becomes too much. The innocence and big heart of Alyssa had Liam falling in love.

I look forward to reading more from S.S Richards as she embarks on this new journey into the writing world. It will be a pleasure to follow her work as she hones her craft and as she gets a few more stories under her belt as an up and coming indie author.

I don’t know where to start…I received an ARC and I enjoyed every second of it! The love story between Liam and Alyssa is breathtaking. I really liked how each chapter gave a different perspective and side of this love story. It’s the kind of book that you get into so quickly that you cannot stop reading. Also, it’s well written and easy to follow. This would make a great movie too!! I honestly can’t wait to read other books from S.S. Richards. I honestly recommend this book to anyone. AWESOME WORK!

A good start for this author's debut book!
The characters was good and the storyline was good too!
Liam i loved and hated at the same time, he was a bit of a douche but he had redeeming qualities! Have i no fear though i seem to always take a liking to the douchebags ;)
Alyssa was a sweet girl and got caught up in Liam's web but she was exactly where she wanted to be.
I look forward to seeing more from this author!

Instant Devotion

Amazing.... Devoted to You drew me in after the first line and kept me in Alyssa and Liam's world.

Liam is tall and gorgeous, he's the CEO of a successful company. He lives in a semi dark world (you'll have to read to find out why) and he doesn't do love or romance.
Alyssa is a young, beautiful and smart young woman who gets a job at said company in hopes to save money for (you'll have to read to find out)

Their story begins with flirting at bar/restaurant on DARE by Alyssa's friends. With an instant connection he bails out and she dreams about him.... you've got to read to find out what happens after that night....

The story is well written
Characters show so much emotion and are developed perfectly for the story
Highly recommend this book

A lovely debut novel

I love me a billionaire romance and this certainly delivered. I enjoyed how the book was broken up into the protagonist and antagonist's perspectives. It moves along at a brisk pace as Alyssa and Liam's current life and pasts unfold and entwine. I read it in five hours! All in all, a lovely debut from a new author, I look forward to seeing her work develop and grow in the future. Well done S.S.Richards!

Alyssa ends up working for billionaire Liam. Alyssa is young and innocent and taken the job to help her grandmother. Liam doesn’t know what to do with the feelings Alyssa causes within him. Will he continue to explore them and find out? Fast-paced read with plenty of steam and great characters. I was hooked from beginning to end. I loved it!

I really enjoyed reading devoted to you, is a billionaire romance with an alpha hero and a sweet and likable heroine. The writing style is good, i think this is the first book that the author wrote so is understandable i have some issues like Liam POV should more manly. All in all, is a good book with our hero Liam who is totally alpha, the story plot is moving fast.

I still can't believe that my colleague is this much of a talented beast! I am not a romance reader but S.S. Richards mixed billionaire, submissive and boss/employee story all in one! I was hooked from start to finish and missed 4 hours of sleep but it was all worth it! Liam and Alyssa are one hell of a hot couple!!
This book is a must read! Cannot wait to read The Agreement.

Alyssa is hired as the Personal Assistant to a millionaire and CEO, Mr. Liam Adams, of D. E. Adams, the company he inherited from his father when his father decided to retire. Alyssa is a young woman who dresses conservatively and based on her wallet. She doesn’t realize her beauty, but her confidence and sexy presence draws the attention of Liam Adams before she even begins working for him.

Liam has a secret in his life and he’s afraid that if Alyssa finds out what it is, she’ll run away from him and not look back. This secret will also put her in danger. His father brought this situation into Liam’s life, and now he has to deal with it. There are only a few men that he lets in and trusts, and they all work for him.

I give this story a 4-star review and recommend it to readers who enjoy stories of millionaires and women who work for them, and the secrets they have in their pasts that they have to overcome.

It's difficult when you can't give a story the rating of 5 stars. I wanted so desperately to fall in love with these characters but I found Liam cold and heartless and treated her like a whore most of the time and the fact that she just took it like she did set my teeth on edge. She gives him her V card and he dismisses her like she's garbage only for her to feel grateful that his driver has the plan B pill for her? WTF? I just wanted him to grow his heart and it just didn't happen till the epilogue. I'm sorry, maybe I'm just too picky 😣

ARC Review

This books is amazing and the epilogue brought the end of me! Liam and Alyssa are one of the hottest couples O have ever read. I fell in love with both of them as soon as I started reading the story. Liam is a possessive Alpha man and it's so hard not to fall for him. I kept wanting more and more but this book is a standalone so there will be no part 2. I am now one of S.S. Richards fans and I will be reading more of her books from now on.

**ARC REVIEW** 2.5/3 ⭐️
This book was just ok for me. It‘s your typical billionaire/virgin scenario. It has elements similar to other book in the subgenre and the beginning is a bit repetitive. Some parts are confusing, and some inconsistent such as Liam's eye color.

I think it just needs a little more finesse and less cliché. I like the epilogue the best...
