***5 Stars***
Talk about pulling on all of those heartstrings!
If you are looking for a book that will pull every emotion out of you, then this book is for you. Down too Deep seriously has it all and then some. You will want to reach out and Gibbs smack some sense into people, you will swoon, grin like a loon, your ovaries AND your panties will explode and you’ll find your heartbreaking even as it’s pieced back together again and want more when there are no more words to read.
Nate. This man. I knew going in that his journey would be a rough one. With all the hints dropped in the previous books, it wasn’t a surprise and it was rough. This man has so many demons riding him that he can’t see what’s right in front of him. But as he starts to work through everything, I ended up adoring him because he is this sweet, laid back guy who has an open and generous heart, who sees a lot more than anyone ~ even himself ~ could ever know.
Jenna is amazing. Things went a little sideways in her past, but she pulled on her shitkickers and kept living, not only for herself, but her twins. The love she has for them and giving them the best life possible is just one of the reasons I adore her. The other is that she truly believes that there is more out there for her and her kids. She believes in love and happiness and that you can always make things better if only you try.
As for Nate and Jenna’s journey to their HEA, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I’m a sucker for single parent romances and considering we get a double whammy here with both of them being parents, it was hard not to get lost in the pages. I loved the moments where they were all together as much as the moments where it was just Nate and Jenna. There may have been a few awkward moments, but they were honest in their awkwardness and only served to make me root harder for them to be together. Of course, things get bumpy for them, but they had to. There were issues that not only Nate, but Jenna had to confront and work through, but in the end, I loved how everything turned out for all of them.
This book hit all the right buttons for me, even the ones that had me growling in frustration, it simply worked on every level from start to finish. There are triggers in here, some pretty big ones, but all were handled with care and respect. As for the crazy cast of characters in this one. I loved catching up with all of Whitecap’s crew et al. But the true stars of this one were Olivia, Oliver and Marley, these three definitely pulled on the heart strings in every way possible. We do get to meet a few newbies in this baby who I would be more than happy to spend a lot more time with, so I’m crossing my toes that this isn’t the last time we’ll see them!

A single mom of twins, Jenna is more than capable of taking care of Nate’s adorable two-year-old, and wants to help Nathan however she can. Soon, attachments are made, forcing Jenna and her kids into new territory. And the closer everyone becomes, the more right it feels.
Falling in love forces Nathan to face his biggest fear, and when hearts, both big and little, are on the line, the only thing scarier than needing someone is losing them all.
