Romance

Devanté is remarkably tamer than Danielle James’ forbidden/taboo romances. Although it may seem like it is geared to a more mainstream audience, don’t let this put you off.

It is obvious that Devanté is a Danielle James’ novel. It is chock full of those hallmarks which make her writing so great. The main characters have hearts of gold. The women are powerful. Love and passion are intense to the point of provoking chills.

Speaking of which: There is nothing tame about the love scenes in Devanté. They are smoking hot! There is no such thing as ‘just a kiss’ or ‘a quickie’ when it comes to Danielle James. Every moment where lovers collide is imbued with heart bursting emotion or panty soaking need.

The only negatives were ones that I knew about from the book description. The beginning is not a happy one and the main characters spent a decent amount of time apart from one another. It was a slower burner than I like. I still prefer slow burners to insta-love.

Notably awesome feature of Devanté: normal sized heroine. Blake is gorgeously curvy and unapologetic about her appetite for food and love alike.
