Omg what can I say about this book…..
Molly is an amazing author Edge of Chaos series is just soooo good….
But this one kept me wanting more… when two people aren’t looking for love but find each other when you least expect it… the suspense and living on edge moments….
Definitely must read in my opinion especially if you are a fan of Deep Sea Scuba Diving ;)

I won a copy of this book from the author.
I gotta say this is probably my favorite book out of this series. I loved the instant chemistry between Sadie and Connell. I was really able to get behind the adventures that they did under the sea. Connell could be a real dumb ass, but I'm glad everything worked out for the best in the end. Such a sweet book.

DEPTHS OF SALVATION is a skilled adventurous tale of romance and the love of a vast environment. Sadie and Connell, both divers in varied ways, have one thing in common: their love for the deep blue sea. Both are a bit reckless and careless, but ultimately possess the biggest hearts. Their love story will both fascinate and grip you, and have you seeing this profession in a whole new light.
I love when an author can really delve into a profession and the love of a passion (preservation, sea life, etc.) and immerse a reader in it completely. I know nothing of any of it, but I feel like Ms. Lee wrote it so perfectly that I was in awe of the work these characters do and their love of it, without being lost or confused by any of it. I felt the passion and care come through the writing, and it's not just in the environment but with the characters too; both characters were concrete and vivid and unchanging. They didn't hem or haw or stray from their main principles--they were real, unflinchingly true.
This was my first book by this author and it won't be my last. I really enjoyed the plot, the locations, the detail in everything. But mostly I loved that two characters found their way home; whatever the word means to them. DEPTHS OF SALVATION is low on angst and full of bravery, hope, love, and passion. The writing is so easy to follow that you won't stop until it's over. I look forward to where she can take us next.

This is apart of Molly E Lee Love on Edge Series but can easily be read as a stand alone. I'm not one who likes many adventure romance books but Molly has changed my view on that yet again.
This book has romance, mystery, and dangerous situations. This book follows Connell and Sadie both career paths are diving and knowing they can be in danger in a matter of seconds.
I'm so amazed at this new author and the words and stories she can write! She is easily now one of my go to authors.

Depths of Salvation is yet another adventurous novel by Molly E. Lee. This time Molly takes us underwater deep sea diving in the Bahamas with marine preservationist Sadie and underwater welder Connell.
Sadie and her crew preserve the WWII cargo ship Falconer. The site is very special to Sadie and when she learns that a huge gas corporation wants to build an underwater gas pipeline right through her site, she tries everything in her power to prevent that: she only needs to convince the Head of Government that her site is important and valuable to its island's residents. In comes Connell. He was offered a $12 million deal by the huge gas corporation to work alongside Sadie on her site. But not to safe it. No: To testify to the Head of Government that her site is not worth saving. This way the corporation could build the pipeline without any issues. Problem is: Connell hasn't met Sadie yet.
Sadie is a very determined, strong and outgoing character. She loves her job and is passionate in doing it. She would do about anything to safe her underwater sites. Connell on the other hand is moody and a man of few words. He has a dark past, holds everyone at arm's length and is very determined to not let anyone in - ever. That is until he meets Sadie. Both Sadie and Connell are drawn to each other instantly and working together on Sadie's site makes Connell want to open up to Sadie.
Like Edge of Chaos and East of Redemption, Depths of Salvation is all about the adventure. I abosultely love this aspect of each of Molly's books. Reading this book, like all the others, was as if I was with Sadie and Connell. Molly puts so much effort in researching her books which makes the reading even better.
I've always wanted to get a diving license but due to lack of money and time, I never had the chance to. Reading this book made me want to get the license even more!! :) One day, I guess! :)
If you love adventure and romance, then you should pick this book up and dive right into the story.

I've read Molly's books from the beginning. She pulled me in with Edge of Chaos, wowed me with East of Redemption, and has practically left me speechless with Depths of Salvation. I've said before she has an amazing gift with detail and making the reader feel they are right there in the story where the action is happening. This book is so different than anything else I've read and it was really fun and interesting to get a peek into what the lives of a marine preservationalist and an underwater welder are like. I really loved Sadie's character. She was sassy, strong, confident, and wasn't afraid to stand up for what she believed in, never backing down. Connell was strong despite what he had been through and you couldn't help but wonder what happened to make him so closed off. These two were perfect for each other and what started out as a job turned into a once in a lifetime, all consuming kind of love.

I honestly can't pick which of the 3 books in this series I like most. But there is not doubt that they just keep getting better! Who knew that a story about a preservationist and an underwater welder would be one of my favorites!
The dangers, rewards and excitement that this book and series embodies is amazing! The jobs that the main characters pursue and live are so awesome and it just adds to allure of the book.
Sadie and Connell were perfect for each other! Sadie was an amazing heroine. She stood up and fought for what she believed in and add in the things she would do for those she loves is really admirable. Connell was just as awesome. I'm really happy with how the story unfolded and how both of them were there for each other.
Overall, this was yet another amazing and well-written story by Molly. There is no doubt that she's created some really interesting worlds and characters and will continue to do so! I can't wait to read more and one day I hope to have as much passion as these characters do for their jobs. : )

*I won an ARC of this book.*
I really enjoyed this third book in the stand alone series by Molly E. Lee. Just like the previous books it centers around a love story, but filled with action and drama and high risk situations. In this volume, we have some deep sea divers...they both work on different things under the water, but they both love being there. One of my favorite lines in the book is when Sadie is talking about girls wanting to be treated like princesses...and she said something about how she's always preferred mermaids anyway. I am the same way, so I really connected with that line. There is a bit of betrayal in this book and situations that the main couple has to work through or get out of. There will probably be tears, or at least sadness when you read it, but there's also some really great moments and some very touching ones as well.
I also really loved that at a couple points in the book, there was a mention of the other couples from the previous books in the series. Because of that alone, I was glad I chose to read the books in there "numerical" order. But it would not have detracted from the stories at all if I had read them out of order.
I hadn't read anything by this author prior to winning the ARC and then borrowing/buying the others in the series, but I am definitely a fan of her writing and I will be watching her from now on. If you enjoy high action romance stories, or realistic fiction, you would enjoy these books.

This is my favorite of the series so far, but to be honest I say that after each one and then change when I read them over again. It had action, romance, suspense, a strong female, and a stubborn man that tries to protect her at all costs.
Sadie Jenkins is a marine preservationist trying to preserve a WWII era shipwreck site that is home to its own ecosystem of unique plant life and marine life. A major corporation wants to put their pipeline through the site and destroy everything she is trying to save. Enter Connell Murphey, a dive welder working for the corporation who is enlisted to help destroy her site.
These two have an immediate connection so strong you can feel it through the pages. Everything about this book comes down to the details and the story that is painted. Every part of this story kept me on the edge of my seat and I was completely immersed in this world diving along with them. I felt it all, the bends when she surfaced too fast, the rush and fear of chasing away the sharks, the intense connection with Connell, and the excitement every time they explored a new section of the ship. This book is one that you will read over and over again and pick up something new each time. It was one of my favorites of the year and I highly recommend diving in as soon as possible.
