I can’t get enough of the Ali-verse 👏🏻 Yet again, this book doesn’t disappoint. We follow Scarlett and Lukas as they pursue a relationship initially based around their shared kinks (TW light power play & BDSM themes). Don’t let the spice level put you off, it’s maturely and considerately written by Hazelwood, with a touch on the psychology of why from the female ‘sub’ pov. Nothing too heavy here, it’s just a step or two outside of vanilla.

That aside, we’re back at Stanford University, spending time between the athletics pools and the biology department (is that Olive and Adam, I see?). Scarlett is trying to advance through to med school, not mess up her German class, whilst also attempting to overcome the yips in her diving thanks to an injury. Lukas, the Swedish Olympian, breaks up with long term girlfriend Pen (also a diver) due to sexual differences. Pen tries to throw the two of them together, and guess what happens next! 😉

Ali hazelwood the woman you are !! I absolutely ate this up in just over a day, staying up until 2am on a work night to finish it!

Damn, Ali Hazelwood is incapable of writing a bad book! I was so excited when the synopsis for Deep End (Whet) was announced as I'm a sucker for a sports romance and this book lived up to all my expectations. Now I shall have to suffer waiting for the next AH book, and this one hasn't even been published yet
