All Raina can think about is the possibility that she might be pregnant, but her boyfriend tells her to get rid of it if it's true. Angry and hurt, she goes to confront him at his brother's house only to find he's been killed in a car accident. Stunned and grieving more because her baby will be born without a father than the loss of a man she only now realizes wasn't right for her, Raina accepts comfort from Hunter, her late boyfriend's brother.
But Hunter and she have never gotten along. Hunter is ex-military, rigid, and condescending. He never seemed to feel Raina was good enough for his brother despite the fact that she busted her butt for her masters degree and was making something of her life. Raina can't understand why Hunter would now be the one to support her and even ask to be named as the baby's father.
Hunter doesn't care how long Raina fights him. He will be there for her and the baby. He knows he made the wrong choices before his brother passed allowing Raina to see only a cold exterior. The truth is from the moment he laid eyes on her, he was lost. He has to win her heart or lose the woman he's been hopelessly devoted to for years. The challenge is not managing Raina but loving her. If he can find the balance, just maybe she'll run into his arms where she belongs.

I could've even given it a higher rating. The only thing is I've read other things by Tressie Lockwood that were better. When I gave this against some of her other work it's good but not great, and I'm aware that's not fair because it is definitely leaps and bounds better than lots of the other options from far, far less developed efforts from other writers. In comparison to many others (I'm polite enough not to name names), this is a giant GOLD STAR high rating. I recommend it as a good read though!Product details

Hopelessly Devoted to You edition by Tressie Lockwood Contemporary Romance eBooks Reviews
This book was really good and Raina and Hunter were destined to be! He was such an alpha beast in bed and completely devoted to her! Loved it
Short and sweet. Rain a is pregnant and the father of her baby wants her to abort. No can do. She goes to confront him and finds that he is dead. The brother is there to comfort her and things take off from there. Little does Rain a know that Hunter has been carrying a torch for her.
Great job with this one, Ms. Lockwood! I wasn't a huge fan of the heroine, she irked me at times, but I absolutely loved the hero!! Yes, things were a bit rush, but it's a romance novel, people! Frankly, I don't read these books for their realism - if I wanted realism, I can get that all around me. I just want to be transported to a place where the couple isn't perfect by any means, but they are perfect for one another and this did that!!
Hunter has stood by as his brother, Kyle, dated the woman of his dreams, Raina. An unfortunate accident takes the life of Kyle and Hunter's feelings for Raina cannot be confined a moment longer.
Raina is skeptical about Hunter's intentions; afterall, his previous attitudes/behavior towards her were very ill-mannered. And not to mention, she was dating his doggish brother, Kyle.
I never thought that I would be cheering for a woman to "jump on" her boyfriend's brother.
This guy watched her with his loser brother for years...but he was determined. At first I really didn't care for the female's attitude toward him, but after a while I was rooting for her. When life knocked her down, she got back up looking for something better--the girl was focus, until he put his hands, mouth, and everything else on her. The brother was an awful character so I didn't feel bad when this couple jumped to it. Enough time had been wasted. The story is not that long, but I enjoyed it enough that I hated to see it end.
While this book was cute in some ways, it was completely unbelievable (15 orgasms...12 consecutive and uninteruppted... in one night? Really??). The pacing was way too fast and the characters were not very honorable. Furthermore while Hunter was ok, Raina was not very likeable. This story could have worked if the characters had been fleshed out more, if the timeline was slowed down and spread out and if the heroine had a lick of sense. The 'angry black woman' routine is tired. I like my female characters sassy AND smart, not bipolar. Some morals would be nice too. There were also typos galore, missing words, extra words. Who proofread this??
Speaking of morals, my main problem was....
SPOILERS! SPOILERS!! DO NOT READ IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW THE STORY!

How fast they hopped into bed. Even the initial scene when Raina realizes that Hunter is attracted to her was just inappropriate. He tells her his brother has just died and pulls her onto his lap to comfort her?? Good old fashioned hugs don't work anymore?? Mind you, at this point in the story, she thinks he hates her yet she allows him to, while thinking about how hot he is. Whether or not she and Kyle were having problems, Raina had just found out he was dead. Plus, she was pregnant with his unborn child! Ok, so she goes home and days later (a week maybe?) Hunter comes by to check on her. They share a passionate kiss and she's practically dry humping his erection through his pants. Classy. Three weeks later he comes by for dinner and they end up having UNPROTECTED SEX, because it's perfectly normal for a woman to hop into bed with her unborn child's uncle weeks after the child's father has passed, WITHOUT TELLING SAID UNCLE THAT SHE'S PREGNANT! Luckily for her, he brings her to orgasm 15 times in one night. *Rolls eyes*. I've read tons of IR books, tons of erotica, menages, paranormal...you name it, I've read it..so sex for sex's sake is not an issue for me, but this situation didn't flatter the female character. She came off as confused and skanky.
So now, they've had sex. She suddenly wants to grow a backbone and start picking fights, only to give in 2 pages later anyway. Attitude for no reason is not sexy! I understood some of her concerns and the background story with her parents did shed some light into some of her decisions, but I hate when authors have female characters act like they're strong only to turn around and make stupid decisions and do whatever the man wants anyway. Why waste readers' time?
Ultimately, readers will get their happily ever after and the ending was sweet but the journey there is so not worth the price.
Enjoyed this one! The guy she was dating was a jerk! Nothing to offer but a good time, living off of her, and cheating on her. She gets pregnant by this fool and he says get an abortion! He gets in a car accident after their conversation and dies but she doesn't find out until four days when she goes to his brother's house to confront her boyfriend about his solution!
She thinks his brother hates her and she knows she dislikes him . . . but nothing can be further from the truth! Read on to find out specifically how they work it out, and be prepared for some hot lovemaking!
I could've even given it a higher rating. The only thing is I've read other things by Tressie Lockwood that were better. When I gave this against some of her other work it's good but not great, and I'm aware that's not fair because it is definitely leaps and bounds better than lots of the other options from far, far less developed efforts from other writers. In comparison to many others (I'm polite enough not to name names), this is a giant GOLD STAR high rating. I recommend it as a good read though!
