Deeper is a beautiful, haunting, and heart wrenching love story about lost love and second chances. Megan Hart's lyrical storytelling weaves Bess and Nick's story through glimpses of their brief, yet tumultuous summer affair that would have life long consequences and their second chance at love twenty years later.

For me Deeper is in the same tradition as great love stories such as Emily Brontes Wuthering Heights, where no obstacle can hinder their love, imperfect as it may be. This story has stayed with me since I finished reading it, and is not easily forgotten. It is everything that I have come to expect from a Megan Hart novel. If you have read at least one of her books I think you know what I am talking about, and if you have not then you are missing out on one of todays greatest romance writers. Though her romances do not generally have the traditional type of happily ever after her love stories (so much more than a romance) offer the hope of love; her endings are authentic and true to her characters.

I. LOVED. THIS. BOOK, and cant even begin to express my feelings for it. Even though I shed tears of grief for the life Bess and Nick could have shared, it had the perfect ending. Their depth of love was shown in every written word, from Besss willingness to sacrifice everything for her love for Nick, to Nicks final gesture of undying love, and finally to the glimmer of hope for Bess and Eddie. Deeper couldnt be anything other than what it is a great love story.

ps. for those of you who read Broken, Joe and Sadie make a very brief appearance and reveal their HEA :)
