Deep End by Ali Hazelwood

emotional fast-paced

4.0

Thank you to Ali Hazelwood, Berkley Publishing, and PRH Audio for the free audiobook!

I have such a weakness for Olympic athlete stories, and Deep End completely delivered! Ali Hazelwood once again brings her signature mix of intelligence, romance, and deeply realistic conflicts to the page. Scarlett and Lukas had such a compelling dynamic—her determination to focus on med school, his strict discipline as a world-class swimmer, and the undeniable chemistry between them made for such a captivating read.

I really enjoyed the duet narration style, with Thérèse Plummer voicing all the feminine characters and Ben Holtzmuller handling the masculine ones—it made the audiobook feel so immersive. The audio quality difference between the two narrators was a little noticeable at first, but it quickly became a non-issue. Their voices complemented each other beautifully, and I especially loved Ben Holtzmuller’s Swedish accent!

This book is packed with emotion, intensity, and steamy romance, and I couldn’t put it down. Highly recommend for fans of sports romance, college settings, and Ali Hazelwood’s signature storytelling!
