In Too Deep by Skye Jordan
4.0
A cyclone in the South Pacific brings together three women from very different backgrounds. The harrowing experience and their commonalities create a strong friendship among them.
The women gather seven years later at Laiyla’s grandfather’s lakefront property. Even though she inherited the property several years earlier, Lailya hadn’t been back since she was 18. She is devastated to see the property in a state of disrepair; it had been the only place where she felt joy and freedom growing up. Within minutes of being back in Wildfire Lake, Laiyla runs into Levi -- her first everything and the one she left behind at 18.
Laiyla and Levi’s story is an emotional one. At 18 and now again at 30, Lailya is struggling with the weight of her parent’s expectations. It is their expectations that caused her to leave Levi that final summer and made her dismiss her feelings as just “puppy love.” Laiyla has to figure out if there’s more to her first love feelings with Levi and whether she should jump at this opportunity to pursue her dreams.
I loved the friendship between Laiyla, KT, and Chloe. This group of women is fully supportive of each other. Just like great friends do, they rally behind Lailya and give her a push in the right direction when she needs it. I get the impression that there’s nothing that these three women can’t do when they work together!
After reading several crazy angst-filled books recently, In Too Deep was the right amount of sweet and sexy while being light on the unnecessary drama. While both Laiyla and Levi have things that they need to work through from their past relationship, they ended up being a really cute couple. The sparks and tension between Laiyla and Levi are well developed and believable; they are a perfect blend of heart and heat.
I can’t forget to mention Wildfire Lake and its residents. The townspeople are an entertaining cast of characters. Wildfire Lake is the perfect backdrop for this story. It’s a place many of us wouldn’t mind living!
If you are a fan of second chances, small-town romances, and well-written characters, In Too Deep is the perfect book for you. It is an excellent start to this new series. I can already tell that I’m going to love it. I wonder who is next -- KT or Chloe?!?!?
Thank you to the author for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
