Two broken heroes. One impossible rescue. No way out.
Weeks after the first Roosevelt treasure cache was discovered, the Grand Canyon has become a madhouse. Reckless treasure hunters swarm the park and a young college student dies. For Dr. Meg Lewis, the chaos hits close to home. She came to the park to stitch up cuts and wrap sprains—not dive back into a world of live-or-die medical drama, a world that cost her everything….
Ranger Director and widower Noah Wilde, has spent years keeping everyone at arm's length, terrified that loving again will only lead to grief. He's not about to let any more deaths happen on his watch.
When another group becomes trapped in the dangerous Tapeats cave system, Noah assembles a rescue team with Meg as medical officer. But what they find underground isn't an accident. Someone has been systematically sabotaging expeditions, turning the caves into death traps—and now the rescue team itself is the target.
As floodwaters rise and the cave ceiling collapses, their enemy hunts them through the a man out for revenge. With no communication, no backup, and innocent lives hanging in the balance, Meg must push past her past to figure out how to save lives and Noah must find a way out…or watch someone else he loves die. Get ready to hold your breath.
Perfect for readers who crave pulse-pounding suspense with their romance, IN TOO DEEP delivers heart-stopping cave rescues, life-or-death medical drama, and electric tension between two wounded souls who must trust each other to survive.

I've been writing as long as I can remember - I won my first book writing contest in first grade! Over the years, writing has become, for me, a way to praise God and see Him at work in my life.
Although I have a degree in Mass Communications from the University of MN, my real writing experience started when I penned the The Warren Report - a bi-monthly newsletter that detailed our ministry highlights.
Living in Russia meant I never lacked for great material - and those experiences naturally spilled out first into devotionals and magazine articles and finally into my first published story, "Measure of a Man," in the Tyndale/HeartQuest, Chance Encounters of the Heart anthology.
Susan and husbandI grew up in Wayzata, a suburb of Minneapolis, and became an avid camper from an early age. My favorite fir-lined spot is the north shore of Minnesota - it's where I met my husband, honeymooned and dreamed of living. The north woods easily became the foundation for my first series, The Deep Haven series.based on a little tourist town along the shores of Lake Superior. I have to admit - I'm terribly jealous of Mona, the heroine of my first full-length book, Happily Ever After, a Christy Award Finalist published in 2004 with Tyndale/Heartquest.
Our family moved home from the mission field in June 2004 -- and now we live in the beautiful town I'd always dreamed of! God has amazed me anew with His provision, and blessings -- and allowed me a season when I can write full time for Him.
I 'm delighted you've stopped in to visit. My hope is that you'll be blessed and encouraged by soul-stirring stories of regular people interacting with a God who loves them.

Noah Wilde's job is to keep tourists and staff safe in the Grand Canyon. That has become nearly impossible lately as news of the Roosevelt Treasures hidden in the cave systems of the canyon have lured gold seekers in to take wild risks. Added to that, the canyon has recently been experiencing earthquakes.
Dr. Meg Lewis loves working with people here, but the risky times are wearing her down. Because of freezing up in the past when people she loved have been in danger, Meg struggles with some of the dangerous rescues. Noah has been an anchor to her, but she's tired of his yoyo relationship with her.
When an earthquake traps several young gold seekers in the Tapeats Cave System, Noah's team goes in to rescue them. One young girl has been seriously injured, so Meg tries to save her, but Meg freezes up. Noah gets her through the freeze, but the girl's injuries as so severe that she dies with her brother accusing Meg of being responsible. During that time, Meg thinks she might have seen one of the treasure chests.
As the team continues patrolling the park, Meg receives threatening notes, but she says nothing. When a research offer reaches her, she decides to accept it. The park leadership refuses Noah's plea to close the Tapeats cave system or the park until the rangers can find the chests and remove the incentive for risk.
The story was a page-turner. Meg's freezing under pressure because of her past and Noah's fear to love again after the death of his wife and unborn baby create a lot of tension in the relationship between the main characters. The earthquakes and danger caused by the treasure seekers left me holding my breath at times. I want to go back and find the first book in the series.

What a fast-paced, heart-pounding, faith-filled read featuring cave rescues, treasure hunters, danger, and romance. In Too Deep is Noah and Meg's story, their brokenness, flaws, fears, grief, losses, and panic attacks. Oh, the lessons they had to learn when they felt like they had failed, about trusting God to be God, and about the light shining in the darkness and would always keep on winning. I cannot wait for Teague and Eden's story.
I received a complimentary copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I was super excited for this second installment in this no spice Christian Romantic Suspense series with Rangers at the Grand Canyon. The idea of chasing after chests of gold hidden by Roosevelt is such a cool and unique idea. I love this take on things from the Law Enforcement Ranger and Search and Rescue angles where civilians are caught up in the search and not properly respecting the park rules and boundaries as well as not preparing properly for their trips away from water and shade. In addition, the natural disaster angles when rains come adds a whole new layer.
This book definitely starts us out strong with a cave in and lives on the line. Meg and Noah were dancing around each other in the last book - we almost felt we had a 2 for 1 romance there - but this book unpacks the pains and losses in their pasts and why they keep closing themselves off to each other. Meg has severe anxiety and panic attacks that hamper her abilities as a doctor. When a spotlight is thrown on that, tensions abound and danger rises around them. As a side note, I really enjoyed the inclusion of medical procedures and injuries.
I really enjoyed this book. The Star Wars references were icing on the cake. I am also really excited for the next one. I’ve loved the peeks into future MCs and can’t wait to be back with the whole gang again. The romance is just kisses, intimacy level 2.

Wow! What a rush. The gold rush has come to The Grand Canyon! Three chests of gold bars are hidden in the National Park and people are coming from all over to try to find it.
Including people who have no practical experience with navigating the crevices and climbs of the Rim. That’s where Noah and Meg come in. He’s a ranger and she’s a doctor.
Problem is they both come with excess baggage that interferes with doing their jobs well. Add in unrequited feelings and a huge amount of fear and we have a recipe for tremendous disaster.
Which we get. And watching the story unfold is where the plot shines. Danger, trauma, vengeance, and the elements come together to create a miasma of complication and chaos.
The story is pulse pounding and the romance is organic and sweet. The takeaway is huge but I’ll let you find it for yourself.
I received an advance copy from the publisher. I’m under no obligation and my review has not been solicited. Highly recommend!

The second book in this series really steps up the dangers that can happen in the Grand Canyon if you don't know what you are doing. This is especially true when descending into places that are not secure. Ranger Director and widower Noah Wilde has tried to keep to himself, but as things excellerate in the park with a discovering of a lost treasure and then heavy rains that flood areas of the park he has no choice but to jump in and lead.
Full of heart rattling suspense that will keep you up til you finish as well as looking for the third book that has not yet been released.

3.5 stars!
I didn’t read book 1 so I was missing some character development but that’s on me
I do think this book showed me I really like romantic suspense! I loved the relationship having something exciting to develop around and I definitely felt pulled to keep reading
My main gripe was that you simply can’t be an emergency response doctor if you have panic attacks in emergency situations 😅 I know that was her growth curve but it was a tough sell for me
I still had fun and would read more by this author!
Gifted advanced copy from the publisher. Opinions are mine!

Thank you to Revell for my copy of In Too Deep by Susan May Warren and Tari Faris. All opinions are my own.
After reading and loving Over the Edge, I was so excited to get more of Noah and Meg’s story. This story didn’t disappoint at all, and now I’m super excited for the third book in this series.
I definitely think it would be beneficial to read the first book in this Summer Rangers series before starting this book because some of Noah and Meg’s backstory is in that first book.
Noah and Meg had both been through some serious trauma that they were both still heavily dealing with, so it was nice to see the two of them finally get their issues out in the open.
This story starts out with a very sad situation, but it immediately hooked me into this book.
Because Meg is a doctor and there’s a lot of danger in this story, there are some scenes that made me a bit squeamish because of the medical content. I did like learning new things though, and I thought it was nice to see how a doctor might work in such extreme situations.
The romance between Meg and Noah was beautiful, and I loved how much they cared about one another. I especially appreciated that Noah didn’t give up on Meg even when she tried to push him away. They worked really well together, and I’m glad they finally got their happy ending.
I also appreciated the Christian faith content in this story. These characters really had their faith tested, but I loved seeing the growth take place in the midst of pain and uncertainty.
Overall, I really loved this book and can’t wait to read the third book, especially after all the glimpses of the characters in this story.

Love the setting, the obstacles, the friends, the gentle development of faith, and especially Noah. Favorite theme/line: "fractured pieces could still create something beautiful."

✨Book Review✨
“"Where the river carved its deepest mark, In shadows hidden in a crevasse dark, A treasure rests in canyon deep, Where ancient stones their secrets keep.””
Let the treasure hunt begin! We are back in the Grand Canyon with our Backcountry Ranger team and their friends. In Too Deep picks up where the first book ends. The Grand Canyon is a mad house with the hunt for the rest of the Roosevelt treasure being looked for.
Ranger Director Noah Wilde hates the recklessness that has come to the area because of the treasure. It’s putting lives at risk and they don’t have enough man power to keep an eye on everyone. On top of that he keeps having to work with Dr. Meg Lewis. The woman he wants to keep at arms length, because she is breaking down his walls the longer they are together. He has already done the relationship part of life and it did not end well.
Meg Lewis can to the park to clean scraps and wrap sprains. She did not want to be in the thick of rescuing lost hikers and having to make life or death medical calls. Now she’s receiving threatening notes after a bad rescue. The only person she can turn to is Noah. As they work together to figure out who is trying to hurt her, Meg and Noah have to learn to trust each other completely.
In Too Deep is a fast paced book. I couldn’t put it down. I loved the aspect of a good treasure hunt. Add a little bit of romance and some suspense and you have a pretty good story. I loved Noah and Meg’s story. The banter between them and the other characters were great. Their character arcs were relatable and I’d love cheering for their happy ending.
In Too Deep in the second book in the Summer Ranger series. It definitely should be read in order. Although if you don’t want to do that, I feel like the author does give you enough information that you wouldn’t be lost if you started with this one.
These thoughts and opinions are my own. Thanks Sunrise Publishing for the arc.

Wow! I thought the first book was full of action, but this book was just as intense and just as amazing!
I’m not one who likes to go hiking or crawling in caves. I hate tight places, so throughout this book I found myself holding my breath and just waiting for the characters to get out into the fresh air.
An added fun to these stories of the amazing rangers and staff at the Grand Canyon North Rim was the hunt for the gold. Wow! What a crazy twist to have to deal with!
I love the Grand Canyon, and having these stories set in this beautiful park before last year's devastating fire is a real treat. It brought the park to life again.
The way Suan May Warren and Tari Faris wrote this book had me dreaming of what it looked like. All the colorful images they wrote wove an amazing tale.
Not only did this book have colorful images, but it also featured heart-stopping adventures that are so true to these authors’ writing.
I was captivated from the get-go and didn’t want to put it down.
I also LOVED how so many wonderful life lessons were woven throughout the story, and how a Bible verse truly touched my heart.
Every book I've read by Susan May Warren has filled me with numerous thoughts and personal lessons. They are not just words; they are profound, touching, and relatable examples of what God can do in our lives! They flow with wonderful images so vivid that it’s easy to get swept away and believe it’s real.
Tari Faris is also an author I have enjoyed reading, so having this book series written by both of them is a sweet blend, and I know it will be with me for a long time.
I highly, highly recommend you pick this book up!

I loved every minute of this fast-paced adventure! Definitely hit a point where I just couldn’t stop! I could hardly wait to get back to the Canyon with Noah and Meg and I was not disappointed. I liked this second book even more than the first, and that’s saying a lot.
Noah and Meg are both broken by their pasts, but their friendship has started to tear down those walls. But over and over circumstance and fear keep driving them away from each other. Can they trust God with their darkness before it’s too late?
I loved how faith-filled this story is. It’s messy and hard, but our characters learn they can depend on God while they’re going through it. It’s not easy for either of them and it makes the ending that much sweeter. It even has a theme verse and I’m here for it. I loved all of the high-stakes action! So much fantastic suspense created by both human elements and nature. The glimpses of Eden and Teague’s upcoming story make me so glad I don’t have that long to wait. This series’ characters have captured me and I want to join their friend group. These characters feel so real, probably because of how broken and imperfect they are. It’s been so rewarding to see how they are growing and changing as they build relationships with each other and with God.
I received a complementary copy of this book from Sunrise Publishing. I was not asked to leave a positive review. My opinions are my own.

"The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." This was one of my favorite quotes which had been passed down from a wise grandparent. Light dispels darkness and that is a key part of this story.
A few of the scenes in this story were the stuff of nightmares, at least they would have been for me. In the process of getting through these fear driven scenes, Meg and Noah had to face personal fears head on, while also relying on one another and their faith as they fight against nature and man.
Meg was a runner by nature. She would not admit this to herself, but running from anything that scared her had become second nature, and I do not mean scary things in the night. Noah, on the other hand, was a fixer, while also actually being a control freak. He thought if he could control everything and everyone around him, he could fix everything. It was two fractured hearts who were fighting different personal demons while also doing their best to protect and save others.
It was a story of grace, forgiveness and hope for the future. Meg thought she was broken beyond repair. Her vulnerabilities were heart breaking at times. This was a wonderful story of two special people who needed to be healed from the inside and out. They needed to forgiveness themselves and allow God to heal their hearts.

After reading the first book in the series, I couldn't wait to read this book which is the second book. You don't have to read the first book, but you are missing out if you don't! You will get the back story on all the various rangers and other characters that will help fill in the gaps so you will understand the story arc which is someone has hidden 3 chests of gold in the Grand Canyon and chaos ensues as people don't go about finding these chests very responsibly!
This story focuses on Noah, the Ranger Director, and Meg, the Park Doctor. Meg suffers debilitating panic attacks (which seemed a little strange to me that she was even the National Park doctor!) and has decided to leave her position when she is called upon to enter a cave system with Noah to take care of a wounded man. She and Noah have had an on-and-off again relationship but both feel too broken to commit. Noah is a widower and can't open his heart again after the circumstances of his wife's death. The anguish of both of these characters is written very believably. These types of emotional upheavals are not taken lightly, and the authors did a great job of not "wrapping them up in a quick bow" but showing how it's very difficult to get through traumas. Between the action & suspense going on in the caves and the emotions happening with the characters, this was a fantastic book! I couldn't put this book down and finished it overnight! Now I can't wait for the next one!

She and Noah have had an on-and-off again relationship but both feel too broken to commit. Noah is a widower and can't open his heart again after the circumstances of his wife's death. The anguish of both of these characters is written very believably. These types of emotional upheavals are not taken lightly, and the authors did a great job of not "wrapping them up in a quick bow" but showing how it's very difficult to get through traumas. Between the action & suspense going on in the caves and the emotions happening with the characters, this was a fantastic book! I couldn't put this book down and finished it overnight! Now I can't wait for the next one!

What a page turner for sure! If you love suspense but also want romance mixed in, this is the one for you! The heart pounding suspense will have you flipping the pages as fast as possible while the romance will have you wanting to slow down and savor the heartfelt moments between Noah and Meg.
After gold is found in the canyon, people are flocking to it hoping to strike it rich. But this isn't just a treasure hunt, it's dangerous and deadly, leaving Noah, Meg, and his crew constantly working to save treasure hunters before it's too late. Meg wasn't expecting this level of danger and finds herself questioning whether she can overcome her fears in the middle of all the chaos.
Noah has been falling for Meg for a while, but the timing never seems right and she needs him to help keep her grounded. As the threats continue and some of the rescues seem to put them in danger too, Noah and Meg have to work together to save others and themselves while learning to trust God if they want a chance at a future together.
This was wonderful! Between these two going back and forth with their feelings and the nonstop action around them, I was hooked! I cannot wait for Teague and Eden's story!
I gave this 4.5 stars, rounded up to 5.

Thank you to Sunrise Publishing and NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for my honest review.
Susan May Warren and Tari Faris bring the reader the second novel in the Summer Rangers series with 'In Too Deep'. While this is part of a series, it can be read as a stand-along. Set in the Grand Canyon after the first Roosevelt treasure was discovered, the reader meets Dr. Meg Lewis, who is trying to escape the chaos of her past for a more calm environment. She is hopeful that after the summer, she will be given a spot in a lab where there is no medical drama.
Our male lead is Noah Wilde. He is the Director of the Rangers and a widower. He is trying to keep everyone at arm's length and prevent anymore deaths from happening. When a group of treasure seekers get trapped in an out of bounds cave following an earthquake, Noah and Meg end up on the same team. While the non-injured are evacuated, the injured girl must remain and dies.
As the search for the treasure continues and Meg getting suspicious notes the novel takes a turn. Both Meg and Noah grow as the story progresses. As they face challenge after challenge, their faith becomes stronger. This novel has many twist and turns adding to the suspense as well as supporting characters which add to the dynamic of the story. I will be watching for the next one.

This series just keeps getting better!
I was so excited to return to the Grand Canyon, and In Too Deep delivered everything I love in a romantic suspense: nonstop action, compelling characters, emotional healing, and faith woven naturally throughout the story.
From the opening pages, the danger never lets up. Between cave rescues, rising floodwaters, treasure hunters, and a mysterious saboteur, I found myself holding my breath more than once. The Grand Canyon setting continues to be one of my favorite parts of this series—it feels both breathtaking and incredibly dangerous, making every rescue feel even more intense.
Noah and Meg were such easy characters to root for. Both are carrying deep wounds from their pasts, and watching them learn to trust—not only each other, but also God—gave the story so much heart. Meg's struggles with anxiety and panic attacks felt authentic, and I appreciated how her journey showed that our weaknesses don't disqualify us from being used by God.
I also loved the medical aspects of the story. The rescue scenes felt realistic, fast-paced, and added another layer of tension that kept me glued to the pages.
One of my favorite things about this series is how interconnected it is. Catching up with previous characters while getting little glimpses of what's coming next makes every book feel like coming back to friends. And after those teasers... I am officially counting down until Teague and Eden's story!
If you're looking for a faith-filled romantic suspense packed with danger, adventure, healing, and unforgettable characters, definitely add this series to your TBR.

"In Too Deep" is a Christian romantic suspense. It's the second in a series but works as a standalone. Noah felt like he had to be in control, as if everything depended upon him. He had to lead the rescues, and surely his wife and unborn baby wouldn't have died in a car accident if only he'd been driving. Meg froze during several life-or-death situations as a young child and similar medical situations trigger her old panic attacks. When she's forced to deal with emergency situations in the field, she reconsidered a job offer in a research position even though she loved forming relationships while healing people. Though Noah helped Meg stay calm in medical emergencies, he acted on his attraction to her only to pull back, driving Meg to distraction with his hot/cold act.
Between violence due to the gold rush, young people needing rescue, storms, earthquakes causing cave-ins, medical emergencies, and attacks, the suspense stayed high throughout the story. The characters were engaging, complex, realistic people. Once Noah and Meg came to realize that God's in control so the situations didn't depend solely on them, they both were able to accept risks that used to overwhelm them. There was no sex or bad language. Overall, I'd recommend this suspenseful novel.

Susan May Warren is bringing the heat in her new book In Too Deep, the second story in the Summer Rangers series! This is the PERFECT swoony beach read.
I loved the hurting heroes in this story. Dr. Meg thinks she's not good enough and can't see how many people she really helps. Noah is still grieving his lost family and trying to protect everyone else in his purview, but when gold fever collides with the Grand Canyon, good sense goes out the window and danger lurks. When you put these two together you have the absolute best pairing of real, hurting, wanna-help humans, and I love them together.
It wouldn't be a true Susan-May-Warren book without acknowledging the deeper lessons, because while the stakes are high, the suspense is thrilling, and the people are great, it's the lessons that I keep revisiting. What is my role as a person? How much can I do? How do I handle my fear? These are all questions we all have, and I love the way these are answered in this book.
So if dangerous settings, heroic leads, and dangerous villains are your favorite subject matter, you don't want to miss In Too Deep.

If you love Christian romantic suspense and the outdoors, you do not want to miss this series. In Too Deep is the second book in the Summer Rangers series by Susan May Warren and Taris Faris. I could not put this story down.
After the gold was found in the Grand Canyon in the last book, the park has become chaotic, with everyone trying to find one of the two remaining treasures. The story starts with Noah and Dr. Meg on a rescue after a cave collapses. This is not a clean-cut rescue. When Meg is trying to stabilize the girl, the internal trauma is too much, and the girl dies. This chaos has a domino effect.
Dr. Meg is dealing with her past trauma and how the onset of these medical rescues is causing her panic attacks to be more frequent. Not knowing if she can continue as a doctor or if she should work in a lab. Noah is grieving the loss of his wife and daughter with the guilt of feeling like it’s his fault. He must learn to let go of control and lean into God. Together, they are working through their past traumas.
The only way to shut down this treasure hunt for the Roosevelt gold is for the park rangers to find it. When they think they saw the chest in the cave that they did the rescue in, the rangers go back to check it out. With the aftershocks and the bad weather, it is a risky task. When another call comes in that a group is stuck in that same cave, they return to rescue the group, but it turns into a trap.
The romance was the perfect slow burn with kisses only.
Susan May Warren and Tari Faris did a great job intertwining faith elements throughout the story.

What can I say to start off? This is such an a beautiful romantic suspense by some of my favorite authors. I read book one and just knew that Meg & Noah would find their HEA. It was a rough and bumpy ride to get there. With Meg’s panic attacks stemming from her childhood traumas & Noah’s losses they would struggle to find peace individually and together. There was a lot of push and pull in their way. I loved the beauty of God’s forgiveness, His presence, His grace all wrapped up in this but not a perfect bow, it was messy and broken but beautiful. Meg had a lot to work through the whole book process and I loved just seeing her changes and redemption. Noah, he has a heart of gold and of course a little reckless with his own life. I flew through this book because it was just that good. I will be picking up this series again once I get through book 3. Which I cannot wait for the next in the series even if it is the ending, I’ll be sad but happy I got the chance to read it.

Review of advance copy received from Publisher
After reading Over the Edge, I could hardly wait for In Too Deep to release, and once again, I could hardly put it down.
If Over the Edge kept me turning pages, In Too Deep takes the adrenaline up another notch or two. From the very beginning, I was on the edge of my seat as the story plunged into the chaos surrounding the Grand Canyon after the discovery of the Roosevelt treasure cache. What starts as a rescue mission quickly becomes something far more sinister when Ranger Director Noah Wilde and Dr. Meg Lewis find themselves trapped in a deadly game of sabotage, revenge, and survival deep within the dangerous Tapeats cave system.
Noah and Meg are both beautifully written characters carrying deep wounds from their pasts. Noah, a widower terrified of loving again, and Meg, whose past medical trauma still haunts her, must face not only a relentless enemy but also the fears that have kept them from moving forward. Their journey is packed with danger, emotion, and moments that quite literally had me holding my breath.
One of the things I love most about this series is how interconnected the stories feel. We still get glimpses of Liam and Nimue from Over the Edge, which was such a treat, while the authors also begin laying the groundwork for Teague and Eden's story without ever taking the focus away from Noah and Meg. It creates a rich cast of characters that makes you feel invested in the entire Summer Rangers team.
Once again, the thread of faith runs deep throughout the story. I found myself highlighting numerous quotes and moments of spiritual insight. The themes of trust, healing, courage, and surrender are woven naturally into the action-packed plot and add so much depth to an already compelling story.
I absolutely loved it and would highly recommend the Summer Rangers series to anyone who enjoys heart-pounding adventure, strong faith elements, breathtaking rescues, and romance that develops in the midst of impossible circumstances.
Now I'm eagerly awaiting the release of Nothing But Air. If it's anything like the first two books, it's going to be another unforgettable ride.

Wow! Another action packed novel by Susan May Warren!
I loved the setting. The Grand Canyon is beautiful, and although I have visited it once, I've always wished for an opportunity to visit again, and do more exploring. So... I really enjoyed this setting, which gave an opportunity to do armchair exploring!
The characters are great. Both Noah and Meg have hard things in their past, and are trying to come to grips, and learn how to move on.
Add in the danger. The mystery, the suspense, the action, all of it combined makes for a page-turner of a book!
If you like high level action and excitement, you won't want to miss it!

Ranger director Noah Wilde lost his wife and unborn child three years ago in a car accident. He is not sure he ever wants to take a chance on love again. Noah takes on all the dangerous assignments himself, trying to keep everyone safe.
Park doctor Meg Lewis came to the Grand Canyon to escape her past. Working in an ER had increased her panic attacks, causing her boyfriend to break up with her. Meg hoped coming to the clinic would heal her anxiety while stitching up cuts and wrapping sprains.
In Too Deep is the second Summer Rangers book by Susan May Warren and Tari Faris. Noah and Meg's story picks up two weeks after Over the Edge ends. I didn't enjoy this one as much as I did the first. It seems unrealistic that Meg would never find herself having to deal with a serious injury, even in a controlled setting. I bought the series to read more by SMW, so it was disappointing, aside from a few quick glimpses of Nimue, that no one else from her books appeared.
I purchased a paperback copy of this book.

This is the second book in the Summer Rangers series by Warren and Faris. You do not have to have read the first book – Over the Edge - but if you get the opportunity, it sets the stage for you with most of the main characters you’ll meet in this one.
I got sucked into the story right away, and agonized with Meg and Noah as they both feel like they’re not enough, too broken for anyone to love. There are some great insights on trust, love, and letting God use brokenness to bring beauty.
I also enjoyed the location. I’ve never gotten to go to the north rim of the Grand Canyon, but have been to the south rim enough times to appreciate the basics of this awesome part of God’s world.
One word of caution- there are parts of this book you don’t want to read just before you go to bed. I solved that problem by staying up until midnight to get the characters out of a cave!

Review of advance copy received from Publisher
In Too Deep by Tari Faris and Susan May Warren is described as a romantic suspense novel. However, I describe it as an adventure novel. Plenty of moments stuck in the cave tunnels in the National Park. Plenty of death-defying moments where readers will not know if the characters will survive and get out. Readers will love how much description is used to really show in the reader’s imagination what is going on. This was handled very well. It played like a movie across my mind while reading. There is a mystery whispering about in the background, but it really was never front and center. Also, romance is pretty obvious, and readers have seen this pattern before in other romance novels. Overall, In Too Deep by Tari Faris and Susan May Warren is a wonderful adventure novel that will have readers glued to the pages and keep flipping late into the night.

Rating 4.5
In Too Deep was another adventurous thrilling read with an added suspenseful bonus with a possible stalker.
Meg and Noah had an underlying chemistry and connection from book one, but both had past challenges and losses which keeps them scared to trust and hope again in a happy ending.
The adventure and danger of the canyon continues in this book with people out hunting for gold and taking chances they are not qualified to take. Noah and Meg are thrown in the deep end with their rescues, where they have to face the physical and emotional limitations and learn to lean and trust God and give Him the control over situations you cannot control.
There was a great connection to the physical and emotional challenges with the wisdom and gentle suggestions from loved ones.
Looking forward to the next book in the series.

This is book 2 in the Summer Rangers series. Even though this book can be read as a standalone, I think you will miss some important things, as well as another really good read, if you jump right into this one. There are characters in this book that were developed in book one, and I always enjoy getting to know more about them as the series continues.
I fell in love with this team in book one, so I always love when an author continues with another great story. This book mainly focuses on Noah and Meg. Both of them have some things they need to work through, and their story has plenty of rescue missions and fast-paced action to keep you turning the pages.
I really love this author's writing style and how she can paint such a great picture with her words. I felt like I could really see the scenes as they unfolded. Another great addition to the series, and I am already looking forward to book 3!

Treasure hunting fever at Grand Canyon National Park continues! After one of the hidden treasure boxes is found, there are still two more up for grabs. Crowds descend on the park, breaking rules and getting into tussles.
Ranger Noah Wilde and doctor Meg Lewis are living out careers in ways they didn't sign up for. Sparks between them are clear, but both are resistant due to perceived barriers. Noah believes he doesn't deserve hope after losing his wife and unborn child years ago. Meg has panic attacks leaving her with a "less than perfect" performance with patients.
When Noah and Meg get into crisis situations, how will they react and will they realize their love is worth fighting for.
Can't wait for the conclusion to the series!

In Too Deep by Tari Faris and Susan May Warren was a story both suspenseful and romantic. This second book in the Summer Rangers series takes up right where the previous book ended, with a hunt for hidden treasure that involves chaos, vengeance, and soul-searching realizations of healing. The main characters of Meg and Noah are vulnerable and relatable, bringing heartfelt emotion to this story. I loved the interplay between these characters, as well as the themes of letting go of the past and trusting the future to a God who deeply loves his children. This series has been excellent so far, and I highly recommend it for fans of romantic suspense. In Too Deep is guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat the entire way through!

In Too Deep
The search for Roosevelt ‘s gold in the Grand Canyon National Park is quite an adventure to read about. There are many treasure hunters searching for the treasure while the Park Rangers try to keep everyone safe. Noah Wilde and Dr Meg Lewis have developed feelings for each other amidst the chaos of the park but past fears have them being cautious about anything more developing.
