【Loving】 , 【affectionate】 ,  【devoted】 ,  【fond】 ,  【doting】  are comparable when they mean feeling or showing love or strong liking.

【Loving】 stresses the inward emotion and usually implies sincerity and depth of feeling.

【Affectionate】 often stresses demonstrativeness or implies the need for or fact of outward expression of inward feeling.

【Devoted】 emphasizes attentiveness, sometimes implying little more than assiduousness, sometimes connoting self-dedication or active loyalty to the person or thing one loves or likes.

【Fond】 implies 【affectionate】 attachment and often connotes foolish tenderness.

When  【fond】  (of) and  【devoted】  (to) imply a strong predilection or addiction, they are not often clearly distinguished. However, one is  【fond】  of the theater who welcomes every opportunity to see a play; one is  【devoted】  to the theater who spends much of his time in seeing plays or in efforts to further the development of the drama. One may be  【fond】  of the country and yet not go there often, but if one is  【devoted】  to it, one prefers to spend most of one’s time there.

【Doting】 implies excessive fondness that leads to overindulgence in parents or fatuousness in lovers.
