Release Blitz - DEVOTED TO PLEASURE by Shayla Black

Bodyguard and former military man Cutter Bryant has always done his duty–no matter what the personal cost. Now he's taking one last high-octane, high-dollar assignment before settling down in a new role that means sacrificing his chance at love. But he never expects to share an irresistible chemistry with his beautiful new client. Fame claimed Shealyn West suddenly and with a vengeance after starring in a steamy television drama, but it has come at the expense of her heart. Though she's pretending to date a co-star for her image, a past mistake has come back to haunt her. With a blackmailer watching her every move and the threat of career-ending exposure looming, Shealyn hires Cutter to shore up her security, never imagining their attraction will be too powerful to contain. As Shealyn and Cutter navigate the scintillating line between business and pleasure, they unravel a web of secrets that threaten their relationship and their lives. When danger strikes, Cutter must decide whether to follow his heart for the first time, or risk losing Shealyn forever.

**** MY REVIEW *****

Devoted to Pleasure by Shayla Black is is the First book in the Devoted Lovers Series.  In this book, we get the story of Cutter Bryant and Shealyn West.  Shealyn West is being blackmailed with a video that was taken without her knowledge. She doesn’t want to find out who did this to her or is trying to ruin her life. She just wants to pay them off in hopes that they will leave her alone once paid and never darken her door again. Cutter Bryant is hired to be a bodyguard for actress Shelly West (aka Shealyn West.)  Cutter is prepared for bodyguard duties but is shocked Shealyn only hired him to be the muscles when she drops off the blackmail dough. Cutter tries to get Shealyn to see that she needs to have him investigate who is behind the blackmail because if not, they will continue to come back and cause more damage in her life.  Cutter is a man divided- he doesn’t want to, shouldn’t get close to Shealyn but the attraction that has flared between them is intense. He has a past and in his past is obligations so he cant offer her anything long term. And Shealyn has this fake relationship with her co-star going on. She too is fighting her feelings for Cutter- she knows nothing could come out of her feelings for Cutter for fear of the paparazzi finding out about her and smearing her name which could ruin her career. Will they give into the pleasure or will they continue to fight the attraction? Who is the blackmailer after Shealyn? Devoted to Pleasure is this book full of suspense, mystery, angst, explosive sexual chemistry, drama and passion filled romance read. The main characters both had issues going on in their lives which complicated the romance that exploded between them. It kept this hot, steamy and a roller coaster ride of emotions from start to finish. Shealyn is the sass to Cutter’s possessive alpha man. I loved the start to the new series and cannot wait to read the book in this new series. I was sad when Cutter and Shealyn’s story ended. I look forward to reading the next book in this new series.
