Dig Deep

by Lyssa Layne

Lindy James is the sister of baseball star, Tate James. Despite her superb volleyball skills, Lindy would rather blend in with the crowd then put her skills on showcase. She’s hiding from her past and boosting herself into the public eye isn’t something she, or her brother, desire.

Sports agent, and Tate James’ neighbor, Kip Deevers never stops working. When he notices the blonde bombshell with the mad volleyball skills on the beach, he knows she’s his next client, what he doesn’t expect is to fall for her.

The attraction is undeniable but Lindy’s past has her afraid to let Kip get too close. The truth that could ruin her family’s name and possibly Kip’s, too. Lindy’s seen it happen to her brother and she’s not willing to risk putting Kip in the same situation.

** Review by Kylie from Bloggers From Down Under **

Lindy has a troubled past that nobody but her brother knows about.
Fleeing a toxic relationship, Lindy finds herself on her brothers doorstep, meeting his new wife for the very first time.

Not only is she meeting new family members, but she's about to meet Kip, a man who could very well sweep her off her feet.

But Lindy is damaged. So much so, she has vowed never to put her trust in another man ever again.

But even though she's been warned to stay clear of Kip, Lindy is drawn to him, and it's not only because he can get her once promising beach volleyball career back on track.

This short story is just the beginning of what is going to be a fantastic series. Ending with so many leads this story could take, I can't wait to find out the rest of Lindy and Kips story.

Eagerly anticipating the next part in this series........


5/5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lyssa Layne can pack so much “flavor” into a short story, that’s for sure. What can I say, her story made me as happy as a pig in sh... Wait, let me rephrase. ;) Dig Deep hit all the right notes for me.

I feel very much obliged to mention the doggy character, Shadow. I never get to mention an animal in a review, unless of course the guy in the story acted like one. Ha! Anyway, I adored his dopey, sloppy –kissing presence in this story. But, oh my goodness, the interaction with him and Mr. McDrool (I made that up), Kip Deevers, needs to be noted, as its COL (chuckle out loud) funny. Having said that, let me spend a moment fawning over said, Kip Deevers...

Kip Deevers is a successful, Lamborghini- driving sports agent, who drinks scotch, listens to Bluegrass, and conceals his tats underneath an Armani suit- Really?! I’m convinced the author is trying to cause heart palpitations. So, how can I describe Kip? He is kinda’ complex in the sense that he is not what you would consider a badboy, per se, but gives off the vibe. He’s not exactly crass, but definitely has a sharp tongue. Take those characteristics and dip them in sugar, and that’s him! I know, confusing, but intriguing, right?

Lindy James is an adorable package wrapped up in sass and sweetness. She has a dark past, and the truth is hidden behind the very walls she's erected as her shield of protection. So, what is the secret she’s keeping? Will Kip be able to break down those walls? It just so happens that Lindy is sister to professional baseball star, Tate James, a character from Lyssa Layne’s book, Fear of Striking Out, who, BTW, is repeatedly giving Kip the stink-eye, followed by repeated warnings that he needs to stay away from his sis. Oh, yeah, this secret must be pretty juicy for big brother to go into a full blown protective mode. How will Kip get into his good graces? Will he ever?

The exciting news is that the author will be answering those questions this summer in the full-length novel of Dig Deep!! I, for one, can’t wait!

I give, Dig Deep, 5 Doggone Stars!
