Devotion
A heart-warming and entertaining poly romance story about marriage bonds, friendship, and the endless supply of love we all carry in our hearts.
According to the rumors, Ainsley is a prostitute. To escape the meddling ways of their families, Ainsley and his husband Graham move to a new town where they hope to find peace. Ainsley spends his days worrying if Graham's decision to marry him was the right one, and he is devoted to giving Graham the life he deserves.
Andrew Croften has never been one to settle down, despite how desperately he seeks companionship. His romantic life is a series of half-flung flings that earned him the title of 'home wrecker' and his professional life is haunted by his long-term bully. But when he visits his friends' party and meets the charming and adorable Ainsley, he devises a plan to steal him away from his husband.
Yet Croften finds himself drawing closer to Graham as well, especially as Graham's brother and Croften's bully are intent on causing chaos in their lives. Perhaps three heads (or rather hearts) are better than two.

Devotion was an odd one, set in an alternate version of history where being gay is a non issue, Ainsley and Graham are a married couple, with a bevy of rumours surrounding why they moved away from their families, including one that Ainsley was a prositute and another that Graham killed his brother. Croften is a painter known for causing trouble with married couples, frequently getting caught in affairs. And when Ainsley catches his eye he decides he’ll stop at nothing to have him. Ainsely is captivated, but he loves his husband and doesn’t want to betray him, despite Graham already not trusting him for reasons that aren’t revealed until almost the very end. And it causes a rift between Ainsley and Graham, as well as Ainsley and Croften who is so very enamoured with Ainsley.
It’s only until a good way through that Graham starts to develop feelings for Croften as well, and an injured Croften helps this along, eventually leading to Graham proposing the idea of sharing to Ainsley.
For the most part this was a pretty cute romance, with a lot of angst, like a lot. Ainsley’s position in society, his relationship with Graham, and feelings for Croften all cause a lot of conflict. There are a lot of plot threads going on and they do all wrap up nicely, and not always in the way you would expect.
I think my only problem with this book was the language, it read. Like it was set in the modern day. It was so strange. Aside from that, it was great.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC copy of this book.

Interesting characters and a plot where reputations and rumors plague two of our characters. Ainsley and Graham have moved to avoid the horrible things being said about Ainsley and Andrew starts off as a character with an ulterior motive that I thought might keep me from warming up to him. What happens between the three of them, however, turned out to be wonderful and their united front against those working against them and their plot to split them up made for a satisfying ending. Denisch will definitely be an author I'll follow.

This book was such a breath of fresh air on the typical love triangle trope. No one within the triangle was made out to be a bad guy, and all three got a happy ending.
I do wish the book had been a bit more grounded in the 'historical' side of historical fiction. At times it felt like modern day people had been transplanted in 1850, but that also made the text a little easier to read sometimes, since it wasn't bogged down with heavy historical-sounding prose.
Overall it was a thoroughly enjoyable read!

Devotion is a heartwarming story. Ainsley and Graham move away from their meddling family to a new town. Ainsley worries if they made the right decision to move, he wants to make Graham happy. They meet Andrew. Andrew’s bad choices and reputation has earned him a homewrecker. He makes a plan to steal Ainsley away from Graham, but then he spends time with Graham and starts to get closer to him. This was a good poly story! They all meshed really well together. Overall, a great read. Well written.

This is my first book by this author. I do love a good poly story, and while this book did take me a bit to get into, the more I read, the more I liked it. I did love all three MCs. I found them very relatable. I loved the storyline also. I have read other poly books that didn't hit the mark, but this one definitely did. If you like heart warming throuple books, try this one. You won't be disappointed!

This is the story of Ainsley, Graham and Andrew. Please read the trigger warnings. I love this book, it is funny and emotional. The writing is easy and flowing. I love the characters. The way they find their way to each other is hilarious and filled with lots of hidden emotions. I love how they stand together at the end. Great read. Definitely recommended.
I received this book as an Arc and I am happily reviewing it voluntarily.

This was a good poly story. I enjoyed the storyline and how each character was a individual person. They blend together well and there ending was good. I think this was a interesting read.
