Three SCUBA instructors, who happen to be sexual dominants, are about to take the ultimate plunge. If you’re extraordinarily lucky, you’ll be invited to join them on The Divemaster, where work and pleasure go hand in hand. Welcome aboard!
Archer Banks relishes his carefree lifestyle. Together with friends and fellow divemasters Miguel Torres and Tosin Ellis, he travels the world, SCUBA diving by day, entertaining lonely female tourists by night. Until his father dies, instantly transforming Archer from a beach bum to a billionaire by shackling him with an enormous, undesired inheritance.
With the help of his family’s longtime butler, Archer is determined to turn his new golden handcuffs into a golden opportunity. He prays Miguel and Tosin will come along for the ride when he repurposes his family’s mega-yacht into a vessel well-suited for both work and hardcore play.
Never in his worst nightmares does he expect their maiden voyage to be such rough sailing. Not only is Archer’s old crush, Waverly Adams, among their passengers, but the men have also stumbled upon a vast sunken treasure—one worth killing for.
Waverly surprises Archer with an alluring naughtiness he never got the chance to experience in their younger days. Busy accepting the challenge she issues his dominant side in The Divemaster’s onboard club every night, he might be distracted and short on sleep. But could he also be blind to more dangerous facets of her personality?
When the divemasters can no longer deny there’s foul play at hand, will Archer be going down with the ship, cursed by his family’s fortune, or will Waverly turn out to be the woman of his most wicked dreams?

Jayne Rylon packed a punch with Going Down the first book in her new Divemasters series. Kind of a rags to riches story (only the guy never was really without means, just thought he was) this book was filled with all kinds of twists and turns, a whole lot of sexiness and sets up this series perfectly.
Three friends, expert dive instructors traveling the world, living their lives leading dive excursions and enjoying both tourist and local women alike in the evenings, but one night everything changes for Archer Banks when he gets a call. A call that confirms his worst nightmare, a call he fears will lose him his two best friends and a call that changes his life forever. Archer's father is dead and he's inherited his vast fortune, something he's convinced he doesn't want or need but with the advice of his father's butler and Archer's dear friend they make some plans and hope for the best.
I loved that you could feel the setting of this book easily as it was described almost to the last grain of sand on the beach and while a few times I wanted to get into the meat of the story, I appreciated the thoroughness of Ms. Rylon's description of the island, because while I have been very lucky to travel to some of the most beautiful islands in the Caribbean, I understand that many people haven't and she gave them the experience of being there without ever seeing it with their own eyes.
This book had a lot of depth to it and in addition many characters were introduced, but I never felt like the romance between Archer and Waverly Adams, his one-time crush and the woman with whom he carries a lot of guilt over. Waverly who also happens to be his company's new helicopter pilot! Archer and Waverly have a complicated past and as things come to light for both of them it becomes even more complicated and a bit twisted, but Archer is determined to not only make things right but to prove to Waverly that she is the one he's always wanted, the one he needs in his life. I'll admit Archer was a bit like a dog with a bone once he got over his self loathing and realized that he'd been in love with her for a long time despite the years of separation. Lots of sexiness ensues along with a few surprises and a special room just for the "masters" of the Divemaster.
Just as Archer and his friends and new business partners, Miguel and Tosin, begin to accept their fate and get their bearings as to the purpose of the Divemaster mega yacht and the good they intend to do with it, things take a suspenseful turn adding a whole other element to this story.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, getting to know all the characters and seeing Archer and Waverly figure out their relationship. Exciting, sexy and completely engaging the Divemasters series is off to a great start and I for one was thrilled with Going Down!
I’ve read a few Jayne Rylon books before, but they were all ones that she had co-authored. I really liked them and had always intended to check out the books she’d written solo and now I’ve finally been able to and really enjoyed Going Down. It was a fun, smexy deep diving good time with characters that I want to know more about.
While I can’t say that I totally adored Archer, I still really liked him. He had his hang ups and though some of the things he did, or did not do, had me wanting to shake him but his heart was in the right place. He wanted to do right by those he cared about and even those he didn’t know. He may have run from his past, but he does make up for his transgressions, both real and imagined and does it in such away that you know the sincerity is real.
Waverly I really liked. Like Archer she left her old life behind and reinvented herself on her own terms. She’s worked hard to get to where she is in life and is proud of her accomplishments. Her determination and sass had me rooting for her as did the way that she handled some of the more uncomfortable situations she found herself in and worked that strong yet soft woman thing well.
Archer and Waverly’s relationship was interesting. They have something of a murky past together and it takes a while for all the questions to be answered, but once they are and they decide that they want to see if they can make a go at it, they really have some really sweet, smexy and fun moments together. And I loved how Waverly took the proverbial bull by its horns when Archer wouldn’t.
The writing style was engaging and though I felt the beginning started off a little slow, I was still intrigued to see just how everything would play out. There is a bit of a mystery/suspense component to the story that added some excitement to the story, but I do wish it had played out a little more than it did though the resolution to it was pretty damn satisfying. But what I really loved were the secondary characters. Miguel and Tosin were good fun and I loved seeing how strong their friendships with each other and Archer is. The one aspect I wish we had gotten to see a little more was why having the on board club on the yacht was so important. It was alluded to, but I'd have liked a little more show about it. Then there is Banks. God, I love that man! Going Deep is a great start to the series and I’m looking forward for what’s coming up next!

So due to a snafu with Kobo, the pre-orders showed up early, and luckily for me, I was one of those who benefited from this :)
Where to begin, firstly, loved the story, loved the characters, loved the situation! Our H/h have come a long way since they were teens together, but the pull is still there between them. Guilt ridden, our H believes he caused irreparable harm to h, but as things unfold, the truth comes to light. Then, when we think everything is all worked out and our HEA is in sight, his friends dally where they shouldn't be, causing another problem. But the solution, well, this authour has a forte, and I was concerned we wouldn't see it, but having Miguel and Tosin apologize made me very happy!
Lots of chemistry, idyllic surroundings, and scantily clad everyone - what a perfect way to have a book-vacation
So this might be one of the tamest Jayne Rylon books I've read. Considering the kink and BDSM she's written in the past this is firmly in the BDSM lite category. I had drifted away from her books after reading Devon's Pair in the Powertools series when it became a sexual free for all. I can handle a lot of kink but the sharing/swapping multiple partners apparently doesn't work for me at all. I guess I'm a monogamy girl at heart even if that monogamy is within a ménage. That's also why I skipped the Hot Rods series since it seemed like it would follow in the Powertools footsteps. So when I saw the synopsis for Going Down I figured I could delve back into her books since I had missed her storytelling. I'm not a diver, and I didn't understand most of the abbreviations she used for diving equipment, she did manage to bring me into what it would feel like to dive and understand the fascination with it. I liked both Archer and Waverly and the connection the two of them had even after what had transpired in their past. They were both sweet and hot together. I thought the "treasure hunt" mystery part of the plot dropped in too late. It allowed the big conflict and truths to happen between Archer and Waverly but the last 20% just sped by between the mystery and the conflict and the next thing you knew BOOM!...everything is wrapped up nice and neat and the story is over. Made for an exciting read there at the end but I would have liked that to play out for longer within the story. So why didn't I rate this higher? She hit a few personal pet peeves that affected my enjoyment. I hate it when a hero or heroine has explicit sex with someone else even when they haven't connected yet. It's ok he's a manwhore....I just don't want to live it with him. It's even worse that this scene was really hot but...ewww. Although Miguel and Tosin don't have intercourse with Waverly there is a scene that they participate in that gave me flashbacks to Powertools and I thought it was going to go farther than it did. Sadly that scene didn't work for me either. So is it well written? Absolutely. Is it enjoyable? Yes, and probably more so for readers that don't share my pet peeves. Will I read the next two? Yes as long as no sharing/swapping starts happening.
This was an okay read. The excerpt made it seem like it was a BDSM book with it stating the men were sexual dominants and that they enjoyed hardcore play. This was an extremely lite BDSM. I don't think I would even call it BDSM except for the 2 visits to the playroom. The chemistry between the two was hot but something was just missing for me in the story. Not sure if I will continue with the series. It didn't leave me feeling like I needed to know what happened next for the Divemasters.

Review:
Excellent start to this new series!
One of the things I liked most about this story were the fine details. You can tell the Author has spent time scuba diving and traveling the Caribbean. All the descriptions and details gave me such a clear picture that I felt like I was there. I thought she also did an excellent job of setting up this new series, she built up the back story so we had a clear picture of who these people are and what is going on inside them. Sometimes that world building can be a little slow, but I was engaged the whole time. Also, I am really intrigued with the premise of them traveling around and doing charity for others, I think there is so much possibility in that. Of course, there is the good old kink I come to expect in Jayne's books. Though I did like that the kink slowly built up, but I think the boys helping Archer please Waverly could have been left out. I understand why, but I don't think it necessary, but shared loved is what I have come to expect in Jayne's books. I loved Waverly and Archer together, they are both strong, caring, competent people who had jerks for fathers but made their way past those hurts. I ran the gamut of emotions reading this book and I loved that. My only thing is I wished the mystery and treasure had started a little earlier in the story, but I don't know how that would have worked in with everything else going on. I am high anticipating the next books in the series!
4.5Stars
*Received a copy of this book from the Author in exchange for a fair and honest review.*
This story is the introduction to the Divemasters series, about a group of three male friends and co-workers whose fortunes are changed with the news that one of them has become a billionaire, due to the death of his estranged father. It's the setup for an entertaining story, complete with a whodunit mystery plot, some treasure hunting and a sexy second chance romance.
There were several aspects to this story I liked, and a couple that I wasn't so keen on. Firstly, the diving details were great. I really appreciated that the time was taken to research this, as it's a key part to the plot of this book and the series as a whole. I liked the diving scenes, and the setting of the story was well chosen - both the tropical locale and the gorgeous yacht that Archie inherits and redesigns to fit his plans to take deserving people on diving trips, a way to spend his money that will make the bitter pill of losing his freedom easier to swallow.
I liked the three men who are the stars of the show so to speak - Archie, whose story this is, and his 2 best buddies Miguel and Tosin. They were all fun, friendly guys with a strong friendship between them, that survives the big news that Archie is now a billionaire, through no fault of his own. And the heroine, Waverly, is an ex-Navy helicopter pilot! It was nice to see a female in a strong role like that. She's been hired to be the helicopter liason for the yacht, able to move people to locations on and off the ship with relative ease. The tricky part comes in with the fact that she and Archie have some history. They were teenage friends until a traumatic event unfolded that resulted in lost years, and misunderstandings. The first half of the story is about them reconnecting and getting to the issues that stand between them.
The second half of the story picks up the action packed pace with a murder, a treasure hunt and some steamy sex between the couple. This is where things were a little more problematic for me. Shortly after being accused of the murder, Waverly is involved in a foursome sex scene with the guys. I had a hard time believing that she'd be willing to accept sexual overtures as an apology. To his credit Archie never failed in believing in Waverly's innocence, but I don't think I'd be as willing to forgive. The sex scene is hot, no doubt, but hard to credit. Later on there is an underwater sex scene that to me, brought down the reputation of Archie as a safe and serious diver. I just couldn't believe that he'd engage in that activity, or that Waverly would think that having sex during a SCUBA dive was a good idea. Hot, yes, but unnerving. These scenes brought down the overall score for me.
Overall, it was a good start to this series, and brought some interesting characters to life. Despite the issues I had with the two sex scenes above, I thought that the idea for the series was sound and I'm definitely interested in reading more. 3 stars.
Note: a copy of this story was provided by the author for review.
I was very fortunate to receive an ARC copy of this latest book by the incredibly talented Jayne. As a keen diver herself Jayne was able to give great details about diving which added to the readers experience of understanding the world in which our hero's live and love. Our hero Archer has just lost his father,not a fact that upsets him but it does come with a great deal of responsibility! But with this Archer is able to begin a new chapter in his life with his best friends and fellow Divemasters, Miguel and Tosin.The relationship between the men is strong and even though at times there is conflict between them,they love each other as brothers and that love sees them through anything thrown at them as they move through their newest life changes. I won't give spoilers but I loved how the men were together,so very in tune even in the "black room". There is a slight tie in to the Men in blue series,with Archer and our heroine Waverley being teenagers and friends before Archer left after his father used him and Waverley. Archer's father was involved in the drug that effected so many of our beloved Heroes/heroines from Men in blue. After doing something that Archer blames himself for he leaves Waverley behind,even though he loved her and began his life as a Divemaster.They are reunited as a result of Banks,the family butler,who always looked out for Archer.Tensions run high to begin with but Archer and Waverley have always been drawn to each other and cannot deny their feelings.After the truth comes out they are able to be together. In typical Jayne fashion though the road to HEA isn't an easy one and we are immersed into suspense and intrigue,with our Heroine's life on the line! But being the woman she is she rescues herself and is soon reunited with our hero,but their bond is forever cemented with his two best friends in board. This is the first in a new series,with suspense,angst,laughs and love and sexy times! Cannot recommend highly enough,pick it up you will be glad you did
Jayne Rylon takes the reader to paradise in Going Down, the first book of her new Divemasters Series.
Archer Banks is living the life. Has a job he loves, getting the ladies and has seen some of the most beautiful places in the world. He also hold a secret, that comes to light and changes the lives of many people. Archer is good man with a conscience and soul. He’s got those alpha tendencies that I love however he feels deeply and cares. He’s likable and complex, making me very much enjoy his character.
Waverly Adams is sassy, fun and quite adventurous. former military and accomplished helicopter pilot, Waverly has become a person that she is proud of. Hard on the surface, she can stand with the best of men. As she relaxes and let's go of the past, a soft feminine side emerges from a brave and strong woman.
Where do I begin. I really enjoyed Going Down. Mad props to Ms. Rylon for rich and engaging details of the settling. I have never experienced the pristine water of the Caribbean. Through words with research and self experience Ms. Rylon was able to take this reader to an amazingly beautiful, tropical adventure that I hope I to one day see with my own eye. From the way the water moved to the view of the stars, it's truly amazing.
The amount of depth and feeling within Going Down stood out to me as well. Perception is different to everyone. Archer and Waverly perceive events from the past differently, when all of views are on the table, it changes the game completely. Sensuality played a big key with the eroticism in this book.
The secondary characters stand out and add charisma and pizzazz. Ms. Rylon set up the series and gives reader a little bit of it all. Beautiful scenery, lots of steamy hotness and a few twists. I thoroughly enjoyed Going Down! Can't wait to see how the remaining Divemasters fall.
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review but I gotta tell you I have already bought a copy too. I have been looking forward to this series since it was first mentioned and then introduced in Bound for You. I loved the references or small Easter eggs back to the Men in Blue series.
Jayne Rylon has once again woven a perfect narrative between suspense, playfulness, control, and hotness. Dive Masters Going Down tells how two people overcome a past that while they have money that is all they have. Archer Banks believes he is some kind of monster and has spent a great deal of his life trying to atone for a mistake he was conned into making. Waverly has spent a great deal of time overcoming her father’s arrest and schemes as well. I generally dislike billionaire stories and while this is technically a billionaire story it is very different. Archer wants control in the bedroom but is not generally a pompous a$$.
Archer and Waverly come together on a new venture that Archer has set up with the help of his butler who is more family to him than his actual family ever was. When Archer decided to start over, he even took Banks’ last name. This book is full of beautiful locations, described in great detail. This book is tamer than some of her other books but that shouldn’t be read to mean it lacks heat. There is plenty of hot sex and romance to boot. There are many twists and turns and it is unusual for me not to pick up those plot twists early on but this is one I didn’t. I did get a bit mad a Miguel during parts of it but his reaction to many things in understandable and he does redeem himself. I am highly anticipating both his an Tosin’s stories.
Archer Banks relishes his carefree lifestyle. Together with friends and fellow divemasters, Miguel Torrez and Tosin Ellis, he travels the world, SCUBA diving by day, entertaining lonely female tourists by night. Until his father dies, instantly transforming Archer from a beach bum to a billionaire by shackling him with an enormous, undesired inheritance. With the help of his family’s longtime butler, Archer is determined to turn his new golden handcuffs into a golden opportunity. Never in his worst nightmares does he expect their maiden voyage to be such rough sailing. Not only is Archer’s old crush, Waverly Adams, among their passengers, but the men have also stumbled upon a vast sunken treasure—one worth killing for.
Archer has his own horrible memories of his night with Waverly and ran from that occurrence and his father's meddling. Waverly's life was shattered and she was left alone to pick up the pieces by herself. She is ready for a relaxed job and working for Archer is a sweet bonus. Neither one of them are ready for their undeniable passions, nor the dangers of the first voyage. There are some very definite problems but they act like mature adults and talk about what is going on.

5 Star Review Going Down (Divemasters Book 1) by Jayne Rylon (Goodreads Author)
This is book one in the newest series Divemasters from Jayne Rylon and I was excited to read this as I have been intrigued about this new group of characters since I first learned about the series. This is Archer Banks and Waverly Adams.
At the heart of this book is that family is not always blood related. Family is who you choose to have in and surrounding you; often it is those friends who become your family and that shone through in this book. I loved the camaraderie between Banks and Archer; at times it was comical reading the banter between them. Archer’s two best friends, who will also get their own books, Tosin and Miguel were extremely interesting characters and I cannot wait to read their stories.
The descriptions of the places they visit came alive to me whilst I was reading and I really felt at times that I could see what they were seeing.
There was regret, miss-communication, romance, hot action, dominance, suspense, danger and mystery woven throughout this book and I couldn’t put it down. The chemistry between Archer and Waverly is scorching.
Well done Jayne Rylon you have another winning series on your hands. Thoroughly loved it and cannot wait to read more in the series.
Being a huge fan of Jayne, I couldn't wait to get my hands on the first book in this new series. Come on...she writes these sizzling stories (have you read her Hot Rods and Men in Blue series???) and I just knew that this one was going to hit all the right buttons.
Three friends who happen to be Doms and create a getaway for people who do good...yeah there are just so many fantastic things about just that part of the story. Archer. Holy hotness. He is delish. Sure he has an issue or two to get through with Waverly, but damn once the man figures all that out he is swoon worthy for sure. And who doesn't want a man who takes care of everything like he does. Kind of like Batman without the costume and cave. Of course there is a bump along the way, but I loved that he and Waverly made their way back to each other. And can I just say that his besties sure do know how to give an apology. Damn scorching hot. I loved everything about Archer's story and I can't wait to read more of this series.
I dived in and devoured Jayne Rylon's latest book, Going Down and the beginning of her new series, Divemasters. Once again, this author delivered another fantastic story that had me riveted to the characters, the relationships, scenery and the suspenseful twists. Archer inherited the family fortune after his father passed away but now have to explain to his two best friends who he really is and the life he left behind. I loved the tight bond Archer, Tosin and Miguel shared but there were some tense moments that tested their friendship. Archer also came face to face with Waverly, the woman from his past he could not forget and suffered enormous guilt over an incident. The author sure knew how to throw twist after twist in this story that had me at the edge of my seat. I loved the chemistry between Archer and Waverly and once again, she writes smoking hot sex scenes that leaves you breathless and panting. I had so much fun reading this story and I cannot wait to read the next book in this series.
Going Down is a great beginning to the Divemaster series. Archer is a pretty decent guy who has tortured himself for years over something that wasn't really his fault. Believing he hurt the one girl he really cared for, he took off at nineteen and now he's shocked to find that she is a new crew member on his yacht. As a teenager, Waverly lost everything after her night with Archer, including Archer, who disappeared without a word. Now face to face again, all the things they once felt for each other come flooding back and they have to separate truth from fiction in regards to what happened so long ago.
The BDSM aspect in this story is pretty mild. I liked both of the main characters. The story is well-written. In addition to the hot and sexy scenes, this book also includes little things like sunken treasure and murder just to add to the excitement of this great adventure/romance.
I was provided with a copy of this book in return for an honest review.
I have received this book as an ARC for an honest review. (I did pre-order this, if that tells you how much I love this author ;) )
Great introduction into Jayne's newest world. Loved the setting for the story and enjoyed all of the new characters being introduced. Archer "Archie" the lead maIe I found to be alright if at times irritating for his wallowing. However I found, Waverly to be such a breath of fresh air for the female lead. This lady could kick ass and take names! I loved how Waverly was presented and once Archie got with the program I did end up loving him. The surprise twist on who done it completely threw me for a loop and I loved it! Yes, you know that with the added find of sunken treasure there will be theft but the person who did the theft and almost pulled it off was very well written and I personally did not see it coming. I can not wait for the next books in this series and I really hope a possible novella or fourth book will be added for captain Alex!!!
Jayne Rylon's books are always an auto buy for me. I am excited about her new Dive masters series. After reading Going Down, I'm excited to see where this series goes.
Best friends Archer, Miguel and Tosin have spent the last 12 years earning a living as scuba divers. They travel to wherever their next job takes them. They are living the life doing what they love and getting to travel to new places where there are always an unlimited supply of willing women to keep them entertained.
Everything is great until Archer receives an inheritance and must lay his cards on the table to his two best friends . This turn of events sets the story into motion. It's past time for Archer to make peace with his past and with the woman from his past who just happens to walk back into his life.
Be prepared for a lot of steamy lovin, secrets revealed and a turn at every corner.
A man running from his past, suddenly is ensnared with what he was running away from. Archer doesn't want his father's money, but after his father's unexpected death that is exactly what he finds himself with. Now he wants to use the money to recognize those who do good things for others. However, on his new crew is the girl of his dreams and nightmares. Waverly was his love of the past and he violated her and now she was on his boat, can he make amends? This is a great love story, set in the middle of a murder and Waverly is the prime suspect. Can Archer and Waverly work out the ghosts of their pasts? Will Waverly be charged with murder? Will they get their happily ever after? This is a fun series! I cannot wait to read the next one! The characters and stories are interesting and I couldn't put it down once I started. I was given this book in exchange for an honest review
This is the first book in a new series. This book was loaded with suspense action and it was hot. Not only does Archer inherit his fathers riches he also realizes his first love was hired to work for him. He now has to deal with what he believes is his past, explaining to his best friends why he never told them the truth, and trying to get things back to where they were. When foul play happens are they going to be able to stick together or will it destroy everything? You will read about his past and his new future. How Waverly fits in and where Miguel and Tosin come from, how these friends share everything, and if Waverly can fit into their future. I enjoyed this book and look forward to reading the next one.
* I received this book in return for an honest review*
I wasn't sure how Jayne was going to make a romantic story about 3 guys and a boat. But she delivered. Archer has been holding on to a memory fogged by alcohol for over 10 years. He has been tough on himself and blaming himself for something out of his control. It is all brought to the surface when his father dies and he inherits billions.
One big problem, his two best friends know nothing about this. They believe he has no family and are in total shock. Then enter his long lost love as a pilot on his new yacht. The twists are turns run deep in this story. The relationship is even hotter. I am definitely looking forward to book 2. I am glad I don't have to wait too long for it's release. I received an advanced reader copy in exchange for my honest review.
Another great book by a master of erotic romance! I was given an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
This book had it all for me. Action, adventure, sexy scenes with a tangible connection between the two main characters. As always, Jayne weaves a super-sexy romance with gasp-inducing adventure. She has obviously researched the heck out of the diving world, as it shows in the wonderful details.
The only thing that stopped me from giving this book a full 5 stars was that the heroine wasn't really introduced until almost a third of the way into the book. I do realize that some back story had to be related to the reader, however, I found myself wishing to get to the meat of the romance.
Fantastic beginning to what I know will be a cracking series. I loved the theme of the book. Archer and Waverley had some troubles but shone through. Their fathers were hideous creatures, and despite them, Archer and Waverley found each other after years apart, to find that events did not happen as they thought. After a little heartache and soul searching, they reunite, and it feels oh so good.
This story had all the hotness that gets the good ol heart pumping. It had the action packed drama as well as the heavy lovin scenes. Going Down is a must read for lovers of dominance, playfulness, and a couple of extras to add to the pleasure.
~ARC provided by author for an honest review~ As with the other books of hers I’ve read, I loved this one. The friendship bond between Archer, Miguel and Tosin is strong and familial. When Archer gets an unexpected, unwanted inheritance, he decides to use it for good and bring in his two friends. There is a dark, painful secret in his past and he comes face to face with his past when his old crush Waverly shows up. Passion, suspense, emotional intensity and humor combine to make a great read. I’m impatiently waiting for Miguel’s and Tosin’s stories. I’m loving this series. I definitely recommend this.
Archer's past catches up with him after his father dies. Archer inherits his fathers money. Archer now has a yacht that can serve both work and play for the three friends. When the staff arrives for duty, Archer is surprised to see Waverly, his first crush. Archer and Waverly have a lot to catch up on and some of their history needs to be cleared up. In the meantime Archer and his friends find sicken treasure. Treasure that some one on board will kill for.
This is a great new series from Jayne. The attraction between Archer and Waverly is hot, especially when they visit the club they have on board the ship!! I can't wait to read the next book!
1st off, Ms. Rylon's character of her hubby is funny. :)
As a huge fan of all of Ms. Rylon's books, I was very interested in how she would make a scuba series work, and I think this one does. Initially, I had a problem with the pace, but after the first bit, the book started coming together for me. I think part of this is because I'm so used to the other books being a continuation of series, rather than the start. (So this falls on me).
You will fall for all three major character's, and I seriously hope we find out a happy ending for Banks by the end of the series
Looking forward to the next 2 (already pre-ordered) :)
I was given a copy of this book for an honest review. Jayne Rylon has again given us a glance at her writing skills with this new series. The Divemasters consist of three friends who believe the truly know each other. But when the truth comes out about one of them, all their lives are changed. Some may say for the good. Some may say for the worst. Come along and witness the transformation of Archer, Tosin and Miguel as they aquire wealth and the love of a good woman. Rylon does not disappoint with sexy encounters, murder, thief and deep sea action. Who is the first to fall under the spell of a woman? And can she except him for all that he is, wants and demands?
This is Bk 1 in a new series. Archer Banks has just become a billionaire with the death of his father. Now he has to find a way to tell his two friends without them getting mad. The three of them travel the world as dive masters. Diving during the day and romancing the women all night long. What could be better? He decides it’s time they do something different. He turns the money into a Foundation on Water. There he meets up with an old crush that he’s never forgotten about. This story has romance, sun and fun but there’s also a little bit of suspense. I really enjoyed this book and can’t wait for book 2 to come out. I was given a copy in exchange for an honest review.
I don't think I have ever been so entranced by the descriptions of the underwater world...Until I read this book.. Holy cow hotness. Ok you have Powertools crew, the Hot Rods, the Men in Blue, and now you have The Divemasters. Each group of books gets better and better. You'll love these new characters and realize there are six degrees of separation connecting these characters. Another great read. Cannot wait until Going Deep and Going Hard come out..
