Deep End by Ali Hazelwood — ★★★★☆

“What I want from you requires enthusiastic consent, not convincing.”

“Confidence is not about being able to do shit. Confidence is showing up, and trying, and not giving up because deep in your heart you know who you are and what you’re capable of.”

This was such an unexpected delight! What stood out most was how refreshingly warm this take on BDSM was. Instead of the usual broody, borderline-douchey MMCs often found in dark romance, Lukas was steady, kind, and genuinely caring toward Scarlett—making their relationship feel realistic and healthy. I also loved that it balanced a “vanilla” love story with the kinkier aspects, showing both can coexist beautifully.

The quotes were absolute gems—thoughtful, empowering, and perfectly in tune with the story’s themes. And as a bonus, Olive and Adam’s cameo? Loved it (and yes, they were alive and well in my head too).

That said, I did wish Scarlett checked in more with Lukas instead of focusing so much on Pen, and the resolution felt a bit too convenient. The Sweden trip and reconciliation wrapped up a little too neatly and quickly.

Still, overall it’s a strong read—equal parts sweet and steamy, with that irresistible “reserved in the streets, wild in the sheets” energy. Ali Hazelwood once again proves she can take familiar tropes and give them her own fresh spin.

This was fine, but a bit long. I liked Scarlett and Lukas as characters, but I couldn’t relate to them between sports and their ages. They also felt too old for college students at times. I liked the cameos of Olive and Adam from The Love Hypothesis. Overall it was cute, but nothing spectacular.
