Review

It was great to get the story for the sister of this family-based series. Aislin is of the family, and tight with her ‘siblings’, but she’s not entirely a part of the family. And when she starts dating an amazing woman, she worries that any involvement with her family might scare Zuri away.

But don’t underestimate Zuri. She’s strong, smart, and resilient.

It’s a quick read, but a great addition and worth the time.

Synopsis

When I first laid eyes on Zuri Alexander, I knew she was mine.

And becoming more than friends was just as easy as breathing.

But she doesn’t know my secrets. There’s a dark side to the family business. So, I lie to her to cover it up.

I know she can feel the wall building between us, and I want nothing more than to tear it down…but the only way to do that is to share my truth with her.

That the girl she’s dating is involved in organized crime.

But when Zuri becomes a target of what appears to be some red pill incel, I know we’re the only ones who can keep her safe.

I just hope she can trust me one last time.

Because my devotion to her means there is nothing I won’t do to protect her.

Sweet Devotion is a 24k-word novella that contains violence, an attempted abduction, misogyny, sl*t shaming, and discussion of losing parents.
