Devoted Intent (Rapturous Intent #3)
Cadence Keys
I was always devoted to her, even when she belonged to someone else. Unrequited love is a special kind of torture, but I’ve let it fuel my success all these years, writing chart topping love songs about the one woman I could never have–because she was my best friend’s wife. But then tragedy strikes, leaving both of us reeling as we stumble our way through grief. And just like always, I’m there for her, because that’s what you do for the love of your life, even if she only sees you as a friend. When she discovers the secret I’ve carried for over a decade, she does the last thing I ever expected–she kisses me. And that one kiss changes everything. Now, every dream I’ve ever fantasized about is becoming reality, but when new secrets are revealed, I wonder if I’ll ever get the happy ending I’ve always craved. Devoted Intent is a steamy second chance at love romance and the third book in the Rapturous Intent Rockstar Series. It is best if it’s read after book two, but it can be read as a standalone. Content Warning: This book contains grieving following the death of a spouse and pregnancy loss.

The first half of this book shredded me into little, tiny pieces. I cried more times than I think I have ever cried reading a book. I felt for Jolie so much and with each hit she took, I hurt a little more for her. She's a tough cookie to keep moving forward despite everything that has happened to her.
The second half of the book wove me back together and it was beautiful even when it was painful. Learning to love as a grownup is hard and some people never learn. Childlike love is beautiful, but it's hard to sustain throughout life's challenges. What Jolie and Tristan developed is the soul deep, adult kind of love. That makes it sound so simple, but it was hard-fought, and they earned it. I loved how both of their characters matured and how they learned to talk things out with each other because it stopped a lot of their misunderstandings. At the end it made it easy for Jolie to go to Tristan with her "surprise".
This is the third book in the series Rapturous Intent and could be read as a standalone, but each of these books is great so I think you should read all three. I'm excited for Kasen's book now since we've been introduced to Melly only broadly. It will be fun to get to know her, I'm sure.
