'Read this book, it is fabulous!' Goodreads Review


Some choices are easy. Some choices are hard. And some choices will break our hearts...

When jaded movie director, Tyler Wentworth meets Mallory Hughes on the set of his latest movie, he immediately notices two things: she's too sweet and she's somehow familiar. But he has no time for mysteries – as long as she can do her job and continue to keep her notorious starlet out of trouble, she can keep her secrets.

Mallory knows exactly who Tyler is, the young man she had a huge crush on has grown to a Hollywood heavy–weight. But the last thing she wants is to be associated with the shy, awkward girl she was then. She's here professionally, managing her troubled sister who has the talent to be the biggest star on screen, but a turbulent past. This is Bobbie's last and best shot, and Mallory will do nothing to jeopardise it.

But as the filming begins, Mallory not only finds herself drawn more deeply to this grown–up Tyler, but that her attraction is more than reciprocated and she can't help herself from indulging in all of her girlish fantasies. However, when their pasts catch up, she is going to have to choose between the sister she's devoted her life to and the man who's won her heart.

4.0 out of 5 stars sexy, although sometimes too emotionally heavy at times
Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2017
Devoted is a sexy, somewhat emotionally heavy read. Mallory is her younger sister's personal assistant/agent. She's given up pursuing her own dreams to help Bobbie live out her dream of acting. And it's going well now that Bobbie's cleaned up her act and sobered up. But, when Bobbie accepts the role of a young woman who dies of an overdose, and the director/writer/producer is someone from Mallory's past, will Mallory ever get to live out her dream? Or will she continue to let Bobbie treat her like a doormat and make Mallory watch as Bobbie devolves back into the partying lifestyle that she just cleaned herself up from?

Tyler is a 28 year old man who's living the Hollywood dream. But, he's not happy and when he sees Mallory again, he knows he knows her from somewhere, he just doesn't know from where. When she introduces herself as his sister's charge from her babysitting years, suddenly things start clicking into place for him. He's instantly attracted to the shy, young Mallory, but her sister could derail his movie. And the movie is important to him - it's his sister's story, her personal story about the addiction that took her life.

As Tyler and Mallory struggle with all the personal baggage they each carry, and they carry A LOT of baggage, it was really frustrating to read, because Mallory continually let Bobbie treat her badly and never did anything about it. I could understand Tyler's frustration with her and with Bobbie, because the movie was so important to him and Bobbie was destroying that vision by partying and acting like the addict she was, and Mallory was continually enabling her by keeping it from him.

And then there was the sex, the really, really hot sex, the kind where Tyler spoke French to her (SWOON!!!). It was steamy and naughty but always had the emotional connection that makes hot sex great sex. But, and I can't believe I'm saying this because I'm all for lots of sex in my books, I think there might have been a tad too much sex. It's as if they did their communicating during sex, and not much when they were outside of the bedroom. That's not really a healthy balance for a relationship, and Mallory and Tyler's relationship suffered for it. A tad less sex and a lot more talking would have done them a world of good.

Still, I really liked Devoted. It's sexy, although sometimes too emotionally heavy at times, and Tyler and Mallory make a great couple. Bobbie irritated the hell out of me, though, and she is the reason I dropped this from a potentially 5 star review. She treated Mallory horribly and Mallory let her do it. If her character had been tempered just a little I probably would have 5 starred it like I was tempted to.

I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book received through NetGalley.

3.0 out of 5 stars A good, sexy read but I wanted more
Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2017
When I sit down to write my reviews and rate a book, these are just a couple of things that I take into account. Did the story live up to the synopsis, as in, did it give me the feeling, the emotion, or tone that was promised? If it implied angst and depth in character development, then did I get that? If it implied an erotic based storyline, then did it deliver? To this end, I had these questions in mind as I sat down to write about Devoted, which is the third book in the Recovery series and can easily be read as a standalone. My reviews for the previous books are here and here .

When Tyler Wentworth and Mallory Hughes first met, it was via Tyler’s sister who used to babysit the then 13-year-old Mallory. Now 10 years later, Tyler is a Hollywood heavyweight, directing his most personal movie to date, and Mallory is the agent and personal assistant to her leading actress sister, Bobbie. Never wanting her teenage crush to remember that shy, awkward 13-year-old, Mallory stays focused on keeping her sister on the straight and narrow after a stint in rehab, this, her first big break back into stardom. As their attraction to each other becomes hard to ignore and their past connection is realised, Tyler and Mallory begin a torrid and passionate affair that has the potential to compromise Tyler’s movie and Bobbie’s future.

There’s a lot of emotional baggage that comes with these leading characters. Tyler’s movie is portraying a story of a young drug addicted woman, paralleling the life of his sister who unfortunately died from an overdose. He is personally invested in this movie and getting the social message contained therein, properly delivered to the movie going public. Tyler blames himself for introducing his sister to the entertainment industry where she eventually sourced her drugs. The guilt he suffers, as a result, means his relationship with his parents is strained and, coupled with an ex that made him jaded where girlfriends are concerned, means that there will be some rocky times ahead for him and Mallory.

Mallory took on the responsibility of looking after her sister and her career when their parents died suddenly. She had to forgo any dreams she had to ensure her sister’s acting career was a success to keep them both financially afloat. Loyal to a fault, she also took the brunt of Bobbie’s addiction and her spoilt attitude, relinquishing control over her own life while Bobbie gets back on her feet.

When Tyler and Mallory connect for the first time, Tyler gives her total control at the beginning, knowing her choices in life have been taken away from her due to circumstances and her sister’s career. He encourages her to be vocal in the bedroom and repeatedly asks for her consent to keep her feeling of control. He intuitively knew this need for her, caring and thorough, he encouraged her at every turn to express herself while maintaining his own control. I felt Mallory’s restlessness as she switches from being totally beholden to Bobbie’s needs and then unabashed and in control of her choices when she is with Tyler. He admires her tenacity and the way she stands up to him, showing her loyalty and determination when protecting those she loves.

For me the writing felt a bit choppy at times, interrupting the flow and disconnecting me from the story. From the book summary, I was expecting more a deeper and more complex connection to the characters. Dare I say it, but the amount of sex overrode the character development. Until very late in the book, I felt like the inner dialogue was repetitive instead of teasing out the meatier aspects to the characters personalities, hinting at the angst that lay behind their attitudes but stalling at opportune moments. When we do see the reasoning behind Tyler’s inner turmoil and Mallory’s torn loyalties, I just felt it was not fleshed out sufficiently. Bobbie’s situation brings things to a head, there was tension and emotion but, by then it all felt a bit rushed.

This was a hard book for me to rate because, if I wasn’t looking for the depth that I felt was intimated at, I would have said that it was a good, sexy read, bordering on erotic. And it was a good read, I just felt it missed the right balance for me between what was promised and what was given.

Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2017
The girl who played in the shadows has slowly learned to fly. However, can she keep her head above water when confronted with the ghosts of her past? Bright lights, big city. Broken hearts, shattered dreams. Devoted blends the wonder of newly discovered love with the ugliness that secrets can breed. J.C. Harroway characters are never easy to love, but the blessing lies in the lessons they learn along the way.
