The Devoted Husband picks up right where The Loyal Wife left off — and whew, it was a ride.

Sade had me all over the place emotionally. Sometimes I really couldn’t understand her choices. Some of the decisions she made had me shaking my head, but at the same time, you could tell she had grown a little compared to before. She definitely wasn’t moving as reckless as she used to.

As for Dante… I still don’t know if I really like him, lol. I get that he was finally stepping up and riding hard for Sade, but part of me kept thinking, Where was all this energy before?

Now Atlas… whew. That man loved hard — almost too hard. His character was intense and you could feel the weight of all the secrets he was carrying. He definitely brought a whole different kind of tension to the story.

Detective Jones had me side-eyeing him the whole time. I kept wondering why he was so obsessed with Sade, and when the truth came out? Man, the tea was scalding.

Also, Imani and Sade? Yeah, they did what needed to be done. Period.

This book was full of secrets, lies, twists, and turns. It had me on a straight rollercoaster. The suspense? Top tier. I was locked in from beginning to end.

This is the sequel to The Loyal Wife. It follows up where it left off.

Sade was such a complex character. I sometimes could not understand why she did the things she did. Her decision-making at times sucked. She definitely slowed down a lot, though.

Dante… I still don’t think I like him too much, lol. Yes, I love how he rode for Sade, but I can’t help but think, “Why now?”

Atlas… His character was a lot. He definitely loved hard in a scary way. He also carried a lot of secrets.

I wondered why Detective Jones was so bent on Sade, and let me tell you the tea ☕️ is piping hot.

Imani and Sade 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾.

The secrets, lies, twists, and turns would take you on a rollercoaster🎢. The suspense will have you on the edge of your seat.

Thank you to black Odessey and Netgalley for this ARC. I was able to read book 1 a few days before diving into this one, and I was so invested after that cliff hanger in book 1. I felt like book 2 answered all my unanswered questions from book 1 but also took me on a wild ride. After book 1 I felt like Sade was just misunderstood, like she had a good reason for everything she did and that has a lot to do with how the author wrote this compelling masterpiece. This was my first psychological thriller, and it did not disappoint.
I thought Sade was unhinged in book 1, but a few characters in book 2 made her look like a saint LOL. I did not think anyone else would be crazier than Sade, but B LOVE knows how to write a good villain.

I'm happy with how Sade and Imani relationship grew throughout the story as well.

I was never bored while reading this story, there was always something new to keep my attention, and a few plot twist that had my jaw on the floor that I did not see coming at all. down to the last page of the book, I wasn't sure how it was going to end, but I was satisfied with the ending.

I look forward to reading more books from this Author in the future

I received an ARC from NetGalley and the publisher for an honest review.

This book was a sequel that I have not read yet. But B. Love was such an excellent writer that it was easy to follow. From the beginning of the book, you can tell that this book is a thriller filled with suspenseful moments.
Sade is trying to start over, but she is still associating with someone from her past. A man from her past claims to have her best interests. His obsessive behavior is alarming.
Detective Jones has it out for her and is hunting her down. He plans on bringing her to justice even if it means hurting those close to her. Jones also wants to use Dante to bring Sade for her supposed crimes.

I wish the author had provided a trigger warning about stalking and domestic violence, when it came to some characters' behavior.

Whew child this book was a roller coaster ride from the start to the very very end. My anxiety was up the entire time, and I was also very engaged the entire time as well. The story was multi layered, and there was honestly just so much going on at every given moment but the way it all came together in the end and the way B.Love wrapped it up in a big beautiful black bow was absolute perfection!!

In The Devoted Husband, B. Love proves once again that when obsession and revenge collide, no one escapes unscathed. This explosive sequel to The Loyal Wife plunges readers back into a tangled web of secrets, betrayals, and dangerously undying love.

Detective Jones is more than just a man on a mission—he’s a man haunted. His pursuit of Sade is personal, obsessive, and terrifyingly unrelenting. As the layers of his vendetta unravel, the stakes rise, and the lines between justice and vengeance blur until they're nearly invisible.

Sade, ever the complex and captivating heroine, finds herself caught between two men—one who carries her heart and her unborn child, and another whose madness threatens to destroy everything she's fighting to rebuild. Atlas is the wild card, his instability turning every interaction into a ticking time bomb. With Dante’s memory slowly returning and the past inching closer, their reunion feels both tender and tainted by danger.

What makes this story truly compelling is its moral complexity. Nobody is innocent, and every choice comes at a cost. B. Love doesn’t just give us suspense—she gives us emotional turmoil, psychological twists, and characters so richly flawed they feel real. The writing is sharp, fast-paced, and brutally honest, with enough curveballs to keep your heart racing and your jaw on the floor.

By the end, it’s Dante’s unwavering devotion that takes center stage. But his love comes at a price, and readers are left questioning: how far is too far when it comes to protecting the ones we love?

The Devoted Husband is a masterclass in romantic suspense—a dark, passionate thrill ride that reminds us love can be both salvation and destruction. Buckle up. It’s a wild, unforgettable journey.

In *The Devoted Husband*, B. Love definitely blurs the line between devotion, delusion, and destruction. I would highly recommend reading *The Loyal Wife* before this book, since it is a sequel. I devoured this book in one day. I enjoyed how we received multiple POVs (four people). While this book might seem like a romance from the first book, it is a thriller with suspenseful moments. This book will have you hooked and on the edge of your seat. The twists and turns were unexpected.

Thank you, NetGalley, and Black Odyssey Media for the ebook in exchange for my honest review.

B. Love delivers another intense, heart-pounding page-turner in The Devoted Husband. This is a gripping sequel to The Loyal Wife. I did go and read The Loyal Wife first so I can get the front and backstory for the sequel. In my opinion the sequel is so much better when you read the first book before the second.

This isn’t just a romantic suspense. It’s an emotionally charged, slow-burning psychological thriller wrapped in secrets, obsession, and the complexities of love under pressure. From the very first page, the tension crackles as Detective Jones returns with a vengeance, blurring the lines between justice and personal vendetta. His character along with Atlas keeps the reader on edge chile.

B. Love doesn’t just craft a suspenseful plot—she digs into the psychology of love, betrayal, and survival. While some scenes may feel emotionally heavy or dark, they serve the narrative’s depth and intensity. The novel explores complex dynamics without glamorizing the violence or trauma embedded in the story. And though this book leans into grit, it’s ultimately about redemption and sacrifice.

Readers who enjoy character driven thrillers with romantic undercurrents and morally gray dilemmas will find The Devoted Husband both unforgettable and addictively readable.

THE DEVOTED HUSBAND is B. Love’s sophomoric literary novel was like a crazy rollercoaster ride! It has drama, thrills, and romance for those who love these literary elements. I am one of those people.

I like the storyline, which reveals a significant backstory. It intrigues me enough to continue reading. B. Love has this enchanting way of telling a story. I admire her storytelling a lot.

What I love about this book is the short chapters. It gives readers a better reading experience. I also love how B. Love started the book with a bang and kept the same flow until the end. The ending was good, too. It ties everything together, leaving no loose ends. I like that!

I rate this book five stars and recommend readers to read this novel.

The Devoted Husband is the continuation of The Loyal Wife, and while reading them in order would enhance your experience, I didn’t find my reading experience impacted by starting with The Devoted Husband. This book is a thrilling snowball effect of the life choices we make for those we love and the extreme lengths we’re willing to go for them. It spins a web of obsession, love, and the domino effect of our actions.

First and foremost, the writing will have you hooked. While it may appear to be a romance, at its core, it’s much more of a mystery with twists so deeply rooted in the characters’ lives that not even Sade or Dante could have predicted what was coming. Just when you think things are over and Sade could finally catch her breath, B. Love raises the stakes with one twist after another.

If you’re looking for an addictive thriller that’s impossible to put down and makes you question the lengths we’ll go for the people we love, I highly recommend The Devoted Husband.

This book took me on an emotional rollercoaster! Sade and Dante went through so much as a couple. Imani’s redemption finally came and that was a pivotal moment for the sisters. Jones, on the other hand, held onto a grudge for over a decade, adding even more tension to the story. Honestly, none of these characters were particularly likable, and the level of manipulation throughout the book left me feeling conflicted. Even by the end, I was still trying to process everything. This was definitely a thriller worth reading because I enjoyed this series.

Great read! First read from this author. This book makes me want to read more from this author. Kept my attention and interest until the end.

I was really excited to dive into this sequel but for some reason, the plot just never really took off for me. The characters weren't as engaging this time around but overall the story kept my attention for the most part.

The story was good but it felt like it was dragging and repetitive. It could’ve been a few pages less. I did enjoy the plot twist with Jones and the ending!

The Devoted Husband by B. Love is a masterclass in suspense, obsession, and the raw complexities of love that refuses to die. This isn’t just a sequel—it’s a reckoning.

From the very first page, B. Love grabs you by the collar and drags you deeper into Sade’s world, where loyalty is tested, love is both a sanctuary and a weapon, and revenge is always lurking in the shadows. Detective Jones isn’t just playing cop—he’s playing judge, jury, and executioner, hell-bent on bringing Sade down. But Sade isn’t the same woman from The Loyal Wife. She’s sharper, stronger, and fully aware that her past is hunting her. And then there’s Dante—steady, unwavering, and dangerously in love. He’s willing to risk it all for Sade, but with Atlas circling like a vulture and secrets bubbling to the surface, even the strongest love might not survive.

B. Love doesn’t just tell a story—she builds a world so immersive that you feel every heartbeat, every whispered threat, every stolen moment of peace before the next storm. The tension is palpable, the twists are jaw-dropping, and by the time you turn the last page, you’ll be breathless, conflicted, and completely obsessed. If you thought The Loyal Wife was intense, The Devoted Husband will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about love, loyalty, and survival. A must-read for those who crave stories that push the boundaries of devotion.

Thank you to NetGalley and Black Odyssey Media for the ARC—this one will haunt me for a long time.

B. Love had me chewing on the tips of my nails with this one. I don’t do spoilers but this was even crazier than the first book. I enjoyed the read and it wasn’t predictable which was a huge plus for me. I am looking forward to all of what B. Love has to come.

Wow this story was so crazy. The characters in this story were unbelievable unhinged as all get up. You got kidnapping,amnesia what more could you want

I have been anticipating this sequel! No spoilers here. Very unhinged characters just as in book one. We watch our MMC and MFC continue to face challenges and uncover hidden information through every twist and turn. B. Love did a wonderful job putting this story together, no detail left unturned, Remained on the edge of my seat throughout with my mouth wide open,

The story flowed well and the characters were well developed. I recommend this book and look forward to more from this author.
