Distorted Devotion

Devotion #1

by Persephone Autumn

When the definition of love becomes skewed, who will pay the price?

Sarah Bradley is the type of woman other women envy.
Accomplished. Free spirited. Fun loving.
Befriended by all.

But what if her best qualities were the very things that lead into her worst nightmare?

While partying with friends, her world opens to future possibilities.
Future dreams. A future named Jackson.

Jackson Ember is the guy every woman wished was by her side.
Mesmerizing gaze. Easy on the eyes. Open minded.
A sense of humor with a warm heart.

When Jackson agrees to join his friend at a party, he never imagined he'd meet a woman like Sarah.
A woman he hopes to become better acquainted with.

But Jackson isn't the only person fascinated with Sarah.

A gravitational pull.
A soul quenching desire.
A distorted devotion aiming to ruin it all.

[Bibliophile Chloe · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is the first book by this author and it made me smolder!

This story has all the hallmarks of a good romantic thriller, it's got the heat, the heart, mystery and thrilling action!

This is the story of Sarah and Jackson. 

Sarah is boho chic! She is happy with her world of friends. She thinks her world is fulfilled and then she meets Jackson and realizes that her soul is calling out to him. When her world starts to crumble and she feels vulnerable and scared she relies on both her best friends and Jackson to help her through.

Jackson is a true swoony hero, he is what every alpha should be.  He is there when Sarah needs him and knows when to step back and let her shine on her own.

This story has a mystery that kept me guessing until the very end!  The hints and innuendos that Ms. Autumn relayed throughout the story had me thinking it's this character or nope, no, it's this character! So, so good!

I can't wait to see what she comes out with next!!

This is the first book that I've read by this author and I didn't know what to expect. This storyline is just as this title suggests it really was Distorted Devotion and it was brilliant to read.


Sarah is a really nice, fun person who doesn't take things to seriously, or does she ?
Jackson is a very sexy, gorgeous looking man real eye candy, with a funny side to him, when one day he meets Sarah and it changes both their lives forever. They have such a strong connection between them both and they are great together. There is one major problem, Jackson isn't the only person obsessed with Sarah. A demon invaded there lives and wouldn't leave.
When one day everything changes and life becomes very scary and fearful. Sarah starts to receive notes , emails, and crazy scary letters from an unknown creep - ster, and that is what he is.
( NO SPOILERS ).


I absolutley loved these characters and the author has written them both great. Jackson is such a wonderful, genuine sweet caring guy and how he was with Sarah was beautiful to see. They both have a awesome connection sexually and emotionally. This is definitely holds your attention throughout and I couldn't put it down, some parts were real nail biting moments. There are some twists that you won't see coming to.

I will definitely recommend this book to everyone when it gets released.

Thank You to the author publishers for allowing me to read an early copy of this book.

ARC provided in exchange for an honest review.

This book is expected to be released 25th February 2020.

Very well written book by Persephone Autumn, hard to put down. Romance cocktail with a shot of suspense.

Sarah a beautiful single woman who loves to have fun with her friends. Sarah runs into Jackson at her apartment briefly but fate puts them in each other's path again when Sarah and her friends host a party.
Jackson notices a man hanging close by Sarah at the party, Sarah hasn't noticed him.

Sarah has an extremely close relationship with one of her girlfriends, but Sarah and Jackson start seeing each other exclusively.

Sarah starts getting weird messages and flowers from someone watching her.
Sarah is scared and Jackson is with her every step of the way, as are her friends when they find out. Will Sarah and Jackson figure out who the creep is that that's sending her threatening messages? Will this drama end up being too much for a budding relationship?

I just finished reading this book-I am in love with it and cannot wait to read the rest in the series along with her other books.

[Mel Walker · Rating 5 out of 5]

Sarah Bradley, a free-spirited fun-loving woman meets personal trainer and swoon-worthy hero Jackson Ember. Their mutual attraction kicks off Persephone Autumn's latest novel. Their chemistry lights up the pages and builds quickly. Sarah must learn to balance her past, her job, and her friends while Jackson dives whole-hearted.

However, all is not rosy in their path. In Distorted Devotion, Persephone expands her expertise with romance by layering in a healthy dose of white-knuckle suspense.

While Jackson's unspoken devotion is shown in his action, there is another unknown element also fascinated with Sarah. This individual has a distorted devotion which if successful could ruin everything.

This page-turner will have you swooning with sweet romantic moments one chapter and holding your kindle tight when the tensions build the next.
Persephone builds a wonderfully layered world, with many characters worthy of books of their own - hint, hint. Distorted Devotion is book one in a new series. I'm not sure what's next but I vote for a Liz novel.

Sarah and Jackson have a simply beautiful story that does have some heartache in it. They are put through scary life changing events when their relationship is still new. But they prove that true love can conquer anything. Jackson is not only a sweet guy but he shows up when he is needed for his friends and family. The type of guy that everyone likes. Sarah is a fun woman who everyone easily likes, which unfortunately can be a problem. I enjoy stories like this, that show how much real life bad stuff a couple can go through but can still overcome it all! Definitely recommend. Alittle on the steamy side but definitely a great story!!

I’m sorry, I was looking for a thriller. Everything was so obvious. The mc seemed smart at first but her last made it so obvious she’s not. The story seems like a presentation that stops right after it ends. No research and details. Example, how was he doing seeing them all the time? How did the stalker knew all their moves? What made him do what he did especially when the stalking seems to have been going on for “eight hundred and forty-six days” what is the real trigger for him to start showing his existence. How can no one notice an overweight dude? Jackson said he saw him shadowing her but can’t specify that it was an overweight dude? I actually finished this book with a lot of questions.

Orrrrrrr…. Maybe I was wrong that this isn’t a thriller but more of an erotica? If it is, I swear booktok really need to start recommending books with spice ratings so people know what to expect more. The plot or spice.

Sarah lives her life to the fullest. Friends, laughter, partying. When Jackson catches her attention, a secret admirer doesn't take too kindly to the interest and starts sending her notes and gifts. Distorted Devotion will captivate you and keep you guessing.
