Deeper
Blue Ashcroft
Rain Wilson isn’t ever going to love again.
It’s
a promise she made the day her boyfriend died in a water park accident,
one she still blames herself for. Now she’s a senior lifeguard in a
new town with a new pool and she’s just going to keep her head down and
everyone safe.
Until a mysterious guy follows her into the waves
at the pre-season bonfire and kisses her senseless. It’s just one
mistake, and Rain is determined to put it behind her, until the dark
haired, blue eyed hottie turns out to be her new co-supervisor Knight
Mcallister.
Knight is hot, tatted, and carrying baggage of his
own. He’s not happy about having Rain for a co-supervisor, and he’s
even less happy about his attraction to her.
But between
lifeguard drama, hot underwater kisses, and a growing attraction between
them that can’t be stopped, Knight and Rain are being pulled deeper
into their pasts, and realizing that sometimes too much broken can make a
relationship impossible.
Then again sometimes it’s the broken parts of us that fit together best.

Deeper
is an emotional story about two people with past that try to work at a
relationship with many problems that come their way. With sad and sweet
story, this book could have had more potential but unfortunately didn’t
live up to it.
After
the death of her boyfriend, Rain Wilson does not want to love again.
She does not want to feel the pain and guilt wash over her every day.
And when she sees Knight at her new job location, she knows it’s wrong.
She is all about the rules but maybe breaking the rules might not be so
bad after all. But she doesn’t realize that Knight has a past of his own
and even with all the drama that is going on around them, she might be
more invested into this than she expected.
Knight is not happy
about another supervisor joining him in the summer. This is his pool and
he spent too much time working on it. But he sees Rain, he cannot pull
his eyes from her and the similarity of his ex girlfriend is unbearable.
But she is not Camille, she will not get sexually abused, and she will
not die. Not if he can’t stop it and protect her this summer even if she
doesn’t want him to.
”I should have known from the moment my eyes found her at
the bonfire, and it felt like a part of me was waking up after a long
nightmare. And then I followed her into the water, like she was a
siren”.
I really had mixed feelings about this book. It was
interesting to learn about the lifeguard’s life and how they do things
but the whole sexual abuse thing was a little over the top. It was like
the whole water park was an attraction for the rapists and families did
not go here.
It was…. Just sad. I did not see any twists, no
surprising moments and nothing to blow away my mind. I would assume that
with such a tragic story line, there would be something that would
trigger my feelings but I had no connection with this whatsoever. The
writing was beautiful but it didn’t have the spark that would my
absolute favorite and memorable.
