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.
