In Too Deep: Book One

Rate this book
Here is the first book in the ‘In Too Deep’ Series, another wild and wicked story with a potent mix of romance and deep passion by Lucia Jordan.

Rayne smith has only been working for the Ellison Company for two weeks but already knows there is nothing about her job that she likes, she is a glorified maid. Her boss, Clive Sherman, is invariably intent on annoying her, consistently self absorbed, mean spirited, he’s made it clear that he wants more from Rayne, and demands that she attend the masquerade ball given by company, seeing his perfect opportunity to move in on the new hire.
At the ball, Rayne thwarts her boss continuously, but is soon overcome with boredom at the uneventful soiree. Just when she is getting ready to leave, a mysterious masked man enters. Even from across the room, he practically oozes sexual charm. Their eyes meet and they instantly hit it off. He tells her he is crashing the party, and they spend the night playing a drinking game that leaves them both intoxicated. Drunk and enthralled by the other, they make their way up to his penthouse.
Having not even been formally introduced, he vaguely tells her to call him Crasher. The virile, god-like sex that follows is nothing like what Rayne has always known. But is it just chance that they’ve met, or is it more? Will the dominant nature of Crasher lay dormant, or surface once they’re skin-to-skin? And who exactly is this mysterious man?

Interesting and gripping story but I need to know more about this couple.
That Clive was a piece of work but I think he is going to get what he deserves. And that ending, holy cliffhanger!

Not so sure about this one

The premise was very good but the execution was not so good. The story felt really rushed and the characters were very under developed.

I finished this book on my lunch break. Rayne has only been in town for three weeks, and her boss is a perv. He makes her attend a masked ball party where he picks out a sexy, scantily there costume. While at this party, a masked man approaches her, and they start taking shots every time her boss hits on a female. When "Crasher", the masked man, invites Rayne to his room, she attends. After an unforgettable night, she goes home and prepares mentally for work Monday. On Monday, there is an unexpected meeting called with her boss' biggest competitor. The person that walks through the door is "Crash".

I can't wait to find out what happens next.

Quick but intriguing

Quick read but I like the idea of this masquerade party where everyone is wearing costumes and masks. The sex was pretty hot and rayne’s boss Clive already seems like a gross old man. So it’s neat to see that crasher is actually the competition.

Something Good

She was forced to attend the party by her boss. Now she has to fight off his unwanted attention until she gets rescued. Enjoy I did.

New author and narrator for me. Narrator was a bit monotone but the story is interesting and yes, it ends on a cliffhanger that hooked me. 😋

I had put this book down as a two star rating but I don't remember this story at all only after four months.

This felt like more rushed and less erotic. The premise was kind of good but then it wasn’t really that gripping.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A dull masquerade ball turns exciting fast when Rayne meets a masked mystery man who oozes confidence and dominance. Crasher is alluring, bold, and clearly hiding something, which adds to the thrill. The story flirts with darker desire while keeping the mystery intact. It’s a fantasy setup with addictive energy, even if the plot leans more on sizzle than structure. Perfect if you like a blend of anonymity and seduction.

Lucia does it again. I don’t know how she comes up with these storylines but they are sizzling! This first installment was awesome and definitely left me wanting to read the rest of the series. Rayne has only been in town a short time and unfortunately her boss is a perv. After putting together a masquerade dance for the company and being made to attend she meets a mystery man who calls himself Crasher turning the night all the way around for her. During an impromptu meeting with their competition, she finds out who Crasher really is. Is Rayne already…..In Too Deep?

What happens at an office party...

Rayne, frustrated by her job and questionable boss, is forced to wear a very risqué costume to a party given by her company. After a few crude statements by her boss is rescued by a party crasher. One thing led to another and she finds herself doing things with a stranger not in her nature, but when Monday rolls around he's no longer going to be a stranger.

Suspenseful and Sensual

You are captured from the first sentence. I loved the introduction of Crasher and how he established a relationship with Rayne. Their attraction was so natural and appealing. I can't wait tho read the follow up stories. I pray for a HEA for them. Great read!

Spicy

I liked the book. Felt it was too short but I get it you want to have a series. I enjoyed the storyline and what it's leading up to. Main character hard on herself but most women are. I liked that he wanted her to stay. It was also intriguing that he knew who she was before hand. I will read the rest of the series!

A Cinderella story of sorts, she's never done this before, and he doesn't do one-night-stands. With her boss angry and the company's biggest competitor demanding a meeting, can she keep her mind from wandering?
I certainly can't.
I certainly hope the rest of the story is as exciting as this first part.

The first novella in this series definitely did enough to get me interested. I went and grabbed the full In Too Deep collection so I could see what happens next. I though this was a very good story and I could really see the characters in my mind. Right down to creepy Clive, ewe.

Deep in your hearth

A mistery man and a hot night...a perfect combination. What if this mistery man is handsome and sexy as hell and will work close to you. Separate a glass of cold water to read this terrific novel.

I absolutely loved this book. It would be hotter than hell to have hotter than hell sex with a complete stranger. Especially one that did not give you his name. I can't wait to find out what happens in the rest of this series.

Good

It was a good short story there was a steamy scene in which you get a glimpse at what Catcher is thinking and that made me more interested in the second book.

Considering how many cliches can be found in erotic stories add to that that it was free, I wasn't expecting this story to be good but oh, was I wrong! I really liked it!
