I’ve lost everything …

And I mean everything. Once a household name, now just a broken shell. Lily has left me and taken my entire future with her. I just want to sleep and never wake up. Forget love, forget passion. All of it. I’m done.

My Name is Alexander Phoenix, former Olympic gymnast. I was once known as the X-Wing, as the man who flies. Make that flew…

Can I salvage my future and reclaim my place as the man I used to be? Or does fate have something else in store? Haunted by ghosts of the past, I must find the strength to move on and find my path. Broken hearts still beat, right?

After reading Deep In You, I was left with too many questions... but no answers. Then I read Deeper In you and not only did David S. Scott turn up the heat, but a lot of my questions were answered. Deeper In you is a romantic suspense with heart stopping emotion! It's an amazing story that grabs you at the cover and doesn't let you go until you've read the final page, and even then you are wanting more. Mr. Scott gives you drama, mystery, angst, heartache, unexpected twists thrown in to keep you on the edge of your seat, undeniable chemistry, attraction, pure, unadulterated lust, a great story-line, which all lead to love and a HEA.

I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Deeper In You by David S. Scott is the conclusion of the story of how one man losses everything, or so he thinks. The author tells the story that even at your lowest point of your life, someone may come back into your life to change everything. When you find the person who can make you laugh, and just seeing them makes you happy and smile, you know you have to fight for them no matter what.
The story is an erotic story, but has a wonderful story line, not just all sex. But, enough sex to make you say "damn". There are a few twist in the story that you would not think would happen, which makes it even better.
I really enjoy this story and the author will have you thinking, maybe being at the lowest part of your life, isn't as bad as you think. The story is well written and I can't wait to read more from this new author.

~You think you know someone and one day you realize you didn't know them at all ~... Poor Xander is left wondering if he will find the strength to move on but it is often in our darkest times that we find ourselves again. Like his name suggests, Xander arises from the ashes like the Phoenix to be reborn.

Through his writing, David includes the reader in every aspect of Xander's journey to finding himself once more and by the end of the story you are left with a feeling of hope. Nothing is impossible.

The introduction of a new character has you quickly turning pages to see what will unfold and they are a wonderful addition to the story.

Once again the sex scenes are outstanding (Sizzling HOT), and the twists in this book leave you on the edge of your seat. The author writes beautifully and you have a deep appreciation for his ability to describe each scene in such vivid detail.

Well done, Mr. Scott. I can't wait to read your next book.

Power....Strength....Control
What happens when the life you know and the control you have over it begins to slip away? When you no longer have the power to control what is happening to you? Alexander Phoenix finds himself dealing with the fall out of a disastrous relationship and with a failing career sees no future for himself. A chance meeting with the auburn haired, green eyed girl who visits his dreams is all he needs to get himself back in the game. He finds he is still attracted to Faith, more than attracted but Faith has a future with another man. As their relationship blossoms Xander and Faith must deal with an unseen danger. A danger that could destroy all Xander holds dear. Will Xander and Faith find their HEA or will it all be destroyed leaving him a broken man? David S. Scott's conclusion to Xander's story has more than a few twists to keep you reading. The character development is good and the story flows well. Deep in You and Deeper in You are well worth a read.

This installment in the series picks up exactly where ‘Deep in You’ left off. Xander continues on his downward spiral and the drama of that, as well as his relationship situation with Lily, keeps the pages turning… initially.

There's more drama and we get the answers Deep In You left us needing. Emotions are high and so is that heat level!
A great, fast-paced, hot read. You can't go wrong with Scott!

I was very impressed with the author’s first book, Deep in You, even though it ended in a cliffie (which I hate). But lucky for the readers Book 2, Deeper in You, came out shortly afterwards. I must admit that the storyline really surprised me and I am very glad I read these books.

Deeper in You starts where the first book ends with Xander’s life in a complete uproar; he’s injured, his girl has left him and planning to have an abortion and his hopes of Olympic Gold are all but dashed. These string of events have Xander turning to the bottle and shutting himself off from life. But good friends step in with helping hands (even though he doesn’t want their help). While meeting up with his buddy’s before a poker game Xander runs into Faith, the one reporter he’s ever given an exclusive interview to. She also happen to star in his dreams for months afterwards. Sadly Faith has a boyfriend but it doesn’t stop them from becoming friends, even though Xander wants them to be much more. Suddenly a series of strange events start to happen around Xander and he fears for Faith. Should he stay away completely from her or stay closer? Why are these things happening around him and what or who is causing them? 2 Thumbs up for a great story that this reader Highly recommends; as this two book set is NOT to be Missed.

I could not wait to get into this book. I thought I had it all figured out in book 1 Deep in You but no I was wrong. Xander is left in shock as Lily breaks his heart at least at the time this is what he feels. He is dealing with a major injury that could end his career and now Lily does a number on him. Xander is in bad shape. He always believed in Power... Strength... and Control in his life that was how he lived, but he had none of that right now.

Finally beginning to get his self together he runs into someone from his past. Faith a cute red head he never really got out of his mind. The attraction was still there but she was with another man. Apparently Faith was still attracted to him, she knew the man she was with was not the one but was a future possible with Xander? The chenistry between these two was not to be denied. They both wanted this and that is when the danger began. Why was someone trying to hurt them and who was it?
There was a major twist in this book I did not see coming. Does Xander and Faith get their HEA or is it destroyed by dangers all around them? This Series is a must read it will not dissapoint.

David did a great job in this two book series and I look forward to reading more from him.

David S. Scott, where do I even begin to tell you how much I freaking adored this story!!!

Yes, the first ended in a cliffhanger, but you listened to your fan base when you asked how long to wait between releases. People who know me, will tell you how much I despise cliffhangers. So glad you decided to release them close together.

As much as I loved the first book, I can tell you without a doubt that I enjoyed this one so much more. Let me list the ways...

1. I received the answers to all of my unanswered questions in the first novel.
2. The player was finally tamed, and holy crap it was awesome. Once again the sex was smokin' hot. And not only that, we also got to see Xander's sweet and vulnerable sides. Love it!
3. Enjoyed the little bit of suspense you threw into the mix. Although, I kind of figured it all out before it was actually revealed, but I was still enthralled until the very end.
4. It ended with and HEA. Bonus points!

You really have wowed me a second time! I'm so glad to have gotten the chance to read your books, and I look forward to reading more of your work in the future. :)

'Deeper In You,' is the second book in David Scott's, 'The Phoenix Series,' that I've had the privilege of reading. I thought the first book, 'Deep In You,' was outstanding and would be hard to top. Well, I want to applaud David for topping the first and writing a fantastic book! His writing just kept getting better and better.
At the end of book 1 we are left hanging on Lily's answer.
Not only does Xander's gymnastic dreams come crashing down, so does his personal life.
David does an excellent job of bringing his characters to life and making us feel their emotions right through the page.
Just as Xander hits bottom Faith reappears and breaths hope back into his life.
Little do Xander and Faith know there's something dark lurking in the shadows.
This book contains so many wonderful twists and turn, I couldn't put it down.

Does Xander and Faith's relationship last?
What happens with Lily and Xander's relationship?
Will Xander ever compete in gymnastics again?

David writes an exceptional plot and a wonderful group of characters!
I want more from these characters! A spin off about Lily?

This series is a MUST read!

I needed to know what happened to Alexander after he was left with nothing. Was there a chance at salvaging his relationship with Lily, his career and his broken heart?

Sometimes it takes losing it all to remember who you are and putting that fire back into your soul. Xander needed to follow his motto Power....Strength....Control to get his life back in order. At times I was scared that he was falling back into his old weaken self when it comes to a woman, luckily he had a coach that slapped sense into him this time around.

In Deeper In You we are introduced to a new character but someone that has always been there in his dreams. Will Xander be able to handle love, a will to get back into Olympic shape and the suspense that surrounds him?

I found book two to be a page turner filled with some of steamiest sex I have read. It has lingering suspense that left me torn for the character and it has a passionate love that was meant to be. All I have to say is that David S. Scott did a great job with the characters and the storyline. This is a 5 star read.

This is the conclusion to Deep in You. David Scott is brilliant with the twists he throws in this excellent storyline. Xander Phoenix thinks his career as an Olympic gymnast is finished after his focus is lost and an injury makes him forget his motto of strength, power and control. Lilly left him and he doesn't think he can go on but with the help of his coach, who I must say is awesome the way he takes no shit from Xander, and the green eyed girl that he hasn't been able to forget comes back in his life, Xander finds his meaning and purpose in life again and fights back to win everything he loves in this world. What an amazing book David Scott and I can't wait to read anything you write because if your future novels are as well as your debut novels the book world is in for a best selling author.

Amazing well written. If the story doesn't grab you the characters will. What a wild ride that wonderfully ties up all of the loose ends. The introduction of a few new characters including Faith. I love her character. She's sweet but yet knows her own strength and she is exactly the type of person that Xander needs. This is a great continuation story of the first book and it delivers everything with a fluid forward motion. The story moves effortlessly and pulls you in from the beginning and then it "sticks" the landing. David Scott's writing style is wonderful as is his story telling. He gives you an equal amount of story and hot sex and it is well balanced which makes the reading of the book so much more enjoyable. I highly recommend this book as well as the first to everyone..yes, read the first one or you won't know what's going on in this one. It is a ride well worth taking.

I went into this book thinking I knew exactly how it would conclude...boy was I wrong! And boy am I glad I was wrong because I couldn't predict how it was going to end. The story picks up where Deep in You left off. Xander is a drunken mess and missing Lily. After he finally gets his act together he wanders to his friend's gaming store and lo and behold, his past has come back! Will these 2 finally act upon their desire for one another? Will Xander finally heal emotionally and physically? Is she the woman to make that happen? I absolutely loved how this 2 book series concluded. There was suspense, sadness, angst and love,  great qualities I want in a book. The predictability wasn't there which made me enjoy it even more. I highly recommend this book and hope you'll one click. Great job David Scott, great job!

This book follows up Deep In You and resolves the story. Deep In you ended with a proposal and Deeper In You fix the story back up right where it ended. Xander is a man who thinks he is lost everything. He was on top of the world career wise and had his choice of women. Until Lily came along and destroyed him. He then reconnects with Faith, a woman from his past who he has never forgotten. The chemistry between these two is out of this world. I really wanted to see the happy ending but of course nothing is that simple. There were many twists and turns throughout the entire story that made you question a lot of what you thought. The storyline is fantastic and the writing is tremendous. I 100% recommend this book. Five stars all the way!!

Spot On!

The second book kept me in complete suspense. The triangle between the characters, and the zeal Xander had for love and his sport kept me on the edge of my seat. I loved the storyline, and being a sports romance, with suspense was so sexy fun. The author did a fantastic job of keeping your interest, you could not put it down. I couldn't help but be shocked, and smile at the same time at the conclusion. Congratulations to this authors first release. If this is any indication of what's to come, I cannot wait.

I was surprised at the direction this book went, it was so very good.
I didn't want to put it down.
The characters were well written and I learned to love many of them.
Xander went through so much with the Lily situation, and now he is trying to pick himself up and move past the pain.
Faith is a performer by trade, but met Xander when she was in college a year ago. When they run into each other again, they are both surprised at how easy it is to talk to one another.
The transition from book one into this book was flawless!
Great job David, I can not wait to see what comes next.

David had done a great job with book 2, answering questions asked from book 1.
David has provided a bit of everything in this book, i will definitely read more of David's work.

Wow.

So Alexander went into focusing on his come back or just normal living and trying to get back into training. Hang out with friends and just being in the moment. He was having reoccurring dreams of a red head green eye beauty. Her name is Faith and Faith believed in faith. On a chance meeting Faith and Alexander meet and start a friendship but fastly fall for one another and the drama of ex's start up and make things be question as to why things were happening. Great book.

Just when the reader thinks they have it all figured out, Scott takes them on a completely unexpected ride in Deeper in You. The clues he sneaks in along the way makes them believe they have Xander's life all wrapped up. Think again!

Twists and turns lead readers down paths to wrong conclusions until he is ready to let them in on the secrets. He does keep them wondering until the end, and it's well worth their time.

This is the conclusion of Alexander Phoenix "Xander" story. The story begins where Book 1, Deep In You, ends. Xander is broken, he feels out of control of his life. This is his journey to try and put his personal and professional life back on track. Can he do it? He is dealing with his injury and a loss. Will he find love with the woman he dreams about? I loved this story. David you did not disappoint. This book was worth waiting for. Great job!!! This is a must read!!

Great read full of twists, turns and mystery. The interactions of the characters is unique and the story line moves along quickly as Xander must do what for many is impossible. This was a hard book to put down as the mystery started to unravel. I never expected that ending to this amazing two book series. Fantastic!

This was a continuation from his first book Deep in you.
When you think you've figured out what will happen
you are turned completely around. This book is even sexier and hotter then
the first. David Scott does a excellent job at making you feel like your in the story
watching all that is happening.
