*~*~*~* PURCHASE Deeper *~*~*~*
In Robin York’s sizzling debut, a college student is attacked online and must restore her name—and stay clear of a guy who’s wrong for her, but feels so right.
When Caroline Piasecki’s ex-boyfriend posts their sex pictures on the Internet, it destroys her reputation as a nice college girl. Suddenly her once-promising future doesn’t look so bright. Caroline tries to make the pictures disappear, hoping time will bury her shame. Then a guy she barely knows rises to her defense and punches her ex to the ground.
West Leavitt is the last person Caroline needs in her life. Everyone knows he’s shady. Still, Caroline is drawn to his confidence and swagger—even after promising her dad she’ll keep her distance. On late, sleepless nights, Caroline starts wandering into the bakery where West works.
They hang out, they talk, they listen. Though Caroline and West tell each other they’re “just friends,” their feelings intensify until it becomes impossible to pretend. The more complicated her relationship with West gets, the harder Caroline has to struggle to discover what she wants for herself—and the easier it becomes to find the courage she needs to fight back against the people who would judge her.
When all seems lost, sometimes the only place to go is deeper.
Fans of Jamie McGuire’s Beautiful Disaster will absolutely love
Deeper!
I’m surprised at how much I love
this book! It’s emotional and sweet with
just the right amount of steam. And,
West gave me a HUGE case of butterflies in the stomach.
Deeper is a story of love
from different sides of the tracks. West
is a bad boy. And, bad boy usually
equals attractive. They’re dangerous and
generally off limits for good girls like Caroline. Caroline doesn’t care about West’s off limit
status. Ever since move in day the
previous school year when he rescued Caroline from fainting, her heart has been
reserved for West. West tries to do the
right thing by keeping Caroline at arm’s length, but you can’t always control
want the heart wants.
West and Caroline’s romance is slow
building, frustrating, sweet, and deep.
I love how they danced around each other for so long. The buildup is great and really adds to the
story. The ways in which West and
Caroline spend time “not” being friends is sweet and …….. it’s the kind of
stuff I wish happened to me in college.
I love that West gives Caroline the
courage to want things she’s taught aren’t desirable or acceptable. West will tell you he’s selfish and not
admirable. I beg to differ. West may not have always gone about things
the right way with Caroline, but he has a heart of gold when it comes to her,
not to mention his mom and sister.
I have to say the dual POV is
perfect – it gives the reader the insight needed into both Caroline and West’s
internal thoughts and feelings. It’s not
a short book, but it certainly flew by for me.
It had me clutching my Kindle in hope and crying at the same time. West and Caroline are such genuine characters
you can’t help but become attached and want to jump in the pages and just make
everything right in their world. West
and Caroline’s story could happen in real life, and that made it even more
wonderful for me.
4.5 STARS!!
