Deep End
I swim fast, and I go through women faster.
ANCHOR
I'm the best swimmer the college has ever seen.
Olympic scouts are all over me. So are the women.
Can I help it if I like to raise hell?
One more wrong move, and Coach'll kick me off the team.
As punishment, I've got to look after some reporter.
I'm with her every minute.
I just wasn't expecting her to be so hot.
All I have to do is keep my hands off Allison.
Coach made that crystal clear.
But what can I say?
I've never been the type to restrain myself.
ALLISON
He's the subject of my killer article that's going to start my career.
He's also smoldering hot.
And dripping wet.
When I see him in his swim briefs, my pulse skyrockets.
But real journalists don't hook up with their sources.
If I want a career after college, I have to resist Anchor and his charm.
Shouldn't be too hard, right?
Deep End is a full-length stand-alone bad boy sports novel with no cheating, no cliffhanger, a happy ending, and lots of seriously explicit scenes. For a limited time, it also includes the full-length novel Wild Ride: A Bad Boy Romance, so Deep End ends 50% of the way through.

Headline: A good hot read...
I was given an ARC copy to read and review this book honestly. I really enjoyed the main story itself. I found this to be an improvement from Roxeanne's previous book "Wild Ride", which was good as well. There were times when I got annoyed with the constant drama and back in forth " being in love," that the characters seemed to go through. But ultimately this was a good book that I enjoyed reading. Can't wait to see what Roxeanne Rolling comes up with next.

Katy is a wedding planner but she is a trying to get fed up with her job because she wants what everyone else! She ends up having a one night stand but it's not really what she's looking for in the man she picks! He is not assertive enough!
The next morning she goes to office to discover her business partner and best friend is suing her! So she takes off to a place no one knows her - a strip club!
Colton is a bad boy rodeo cowboy! He at the top of his game and has women throwing themselves at him. He's at the strip club signing autographs and that where he meets Katy! He fi d's out he's #1 in the rodeo on the off chance from his manger, who puts off telling him, which he promptly fires!
Him and Katy flirt and Katy asks him to sign her! They get to hotel room and have a night she can't forget! And neither can he!
Colton gets a new manager and things start looking up for him but he just can't seem to get Katy out of his head or heart! And Katy feels the same way! She finally finds him a week later at a rodeo championship and something bad happens to Colton! (which I think is totally unbelievable! but hay that's my opinion)! He ends up I hospital and the declare their love for each other! Things just seems to progress fast after that! Colton goes with a crazy plan that his manager has and nearly ends up losing Katy in the process!
It was a good read overall. Just maybe a little to fast paced! Felt like it was missing some in depth details, like the build up to their love and afterwards.

I don't know where to start this review so here goes!
First off I really enjoyed this book and the story line but at first I couldn't get to like the main characters at all.
Anchor was way too cocky for me and his ego was to over the top too! He thought he was God's gift to everything and he needed to learn to listen!
Allison hated jocks! She seems like she needed to chill out and relax. For some reason she just came across nasty and bitter!
They are both thrown together because Allison has been given the task of doing an article on the swim team! She needs to do an expose on the teams naughty antics. So she spends all her free time with Anchor and gets all of the juicy details she can. But they end up getting closer and they sleep together. She's hurt that he leaves right away but he needs to leave as they have both been warned to stay away from each of there will be serious consequences! I'd did confuse me at one point because their relationship seemed to take a fast 180. One sentence she hated him and then in the next she loved him?
I did enjoy this read but some parts seems to be missing information.
Both main characters seemed to grow and evolve in their love for each other and Allison wanted to do an epic piece of writing focusing on Anchor but also showing the whole swim team and the coach in a fabulous light! Her first draft is printed and not what she wants to write. It's the first draft she done when she was pissed! Everyone sees it even Anchor and he is totally pissed off with her! She rushes to find him and after a lot of consideration he realizes that she wouldn't destroy him because she lives him and with that realization he instantly forgives her.
I found that some parts of this book was weak for me. It needed some more information but nevertheless if was an OK read.

I received an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Katy is a wedding planner and loves her job. Well, she used to. Now she wants the happily ever after for herself. Katy is looking for a man to love that will love her back, maybe even with a little dominance thrown in. She's sick and tired of being in control all the time and for once she would like to give up that control to a qualified man. She wants a real man; one who takes what he wants in bed without reservation. Colton would most certainly accommodate her. Colton lives the life of a rodeo champ. He's #1 in his field and accepts everything that comes with it...the partying, the women, all of it. Lately Colton has been doing some soul searching of his own. Fan girls just aren't doing it for him anymore. He feels like a novelty for them, something for them to brag about after sleeping with him. He's over it. Katy is facing a personal crisis that just might upend her entire world. Colton is facing something similar. Things definitely need to change for the both of them. They meet by chance and all it takes is one night. One night of HOT, RIP THE SHEETS SEX ! Soon Colton and Katy become inseparable. He's feeling things he has never felt before. Things he should not be feeling if he wants to take his career to the next level, a career he will do anything to advance. Colton is being manipulated by someone he trusts and he needs to decide if the path he's on is the one he wants to continue for the rest of his life. This was a quick read with great characters. It had many twists and turns. THE SEX WAS HOT BETWEEN THESE TWO ! GREAT READ !

Matt got his nickname, Anchor, because he's the captain and the anchor for his college swim team....maybe even on his way to the Olympics. Allison is the editor-in-chief of the campus paper and is about to embark on the biggest story of her life - the college prize Division 1 swim team. Her main focus? Anchor, the king of campus. A drunken prank lands Anchor in a lot of trouble and may jeopardize his Olympic dreams. He must now redeem himself by playing nice with Allison so the article, she is writing, reflects the team in a better light. He can do that, women love him and he is intrigued with her......bonus! Allison not so much. She knows his kind. Dumb jock, always looking for a good time. Could she be the one woman immune to Anchors charms? Oh, she thinks he's hot, but she's on a mission to expose the swim team and their playboy captain. Allison needs this story to get her dream job at The Times. Her plan? Make it look as though she is interested in the campus playboy. Flirt a little; that won't hurt, right? Unless it backfires. If Allison gives into her desires, will Anchor break her heart? Ruin her? After a shared night, they grow close, but a situation arises that could cost Anchor the future he's always dreamed of. THIS BOOK WAS FILLED WITH MANY TWISTS ! IT DEFINITELY KEPT ME GUESSING ! Anchor is so arrogant that he talks about himself in the third person, like he's a legend, a god; until a shy, loner nerd comes along and blows him away. He becomes so caught up with her, that he becomes a better man. When they finally realize they are better together the SEX IS SMOKING HOT ! GREAT BOOK WITH AMAZING CHARACTERS ! ! !

I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.
Katy is a down on her luck wedding planner. The ironic part is she fits the bill of "always a bridesmaid never a bride" and she knows it. It stings and it hurts. To make matters worse she is being told from her business partner's lawyer that this business partner has been stealing money and is going to sue Katy because of the under paid amount owed to Sara (the person she shares her business with 50-50, and someone she thought was her BFF) Now can this day begin to pick up and brighten up for Katy? It will once she lays eyes on the Rodeo King in the bar and she decides to throw caution to the wind.
Colton, top bull rider, yep the #1 position and here he sits in a strip club in the corner waiting to sign photos and get his image out there, what's this now?? His manager blames the fact that his bad boy image, a different girl every night of the week and his drinking has left him right where he is. Problem is Colton knows this and it is beginning to sink in but maybe things can start looking up for him. Yep, starting after the whiskey and the girl he just locked eyes on. Something is about to change alright.
It seems both Katy and Colton have a few things in their past that need to be addressed first, but that all can wait. There is definitely something in the air between these two. Problem is neither of them realize it until the accident. Then they start noticing, and noticing it all the time, everywhere and are not going to close the door on it either.
New manager in tow for Colton and his image and popularity are improving. Katy is a part of his life and things seem to be going great. Until the new manager throws in the "marriage" thing - you know to hide his real relationship and keep the press happy. It is only supposed to be for a month and then divorce time. Problem is Colton is only doing this so he can be with Katy. She goes into wedding planner mode to help the story be believable. Oh, it is believable to the "bride" and Colton's manager....however plans backfire. Hearts get scarred (not broken) a little and there are changes that happen. Events that you will find out about once you read this book. It is a good book, characters are easy to follow and easy to be absorbed into this book from the beginning. A must read.

3.5 -- Anchor -- stars
Anchor is the best swimmer at college and can be part of the Olympic team when he graduates. He gets in trouble a lot, but he always gets away with it. One day, his coach asks him to help Allison. Allison is the best journalist at campus and knows for what newspaper she wants to write when she graduates. Her professor challenges her to step out of her comfort zone and write an article about the college swimming team. Allison doesn’t care about sport and doesn’t watch sports games, but she is very determined to write her best article yet. So she needs Anchor’s knowledge and secrets about the swimming team. They slowly grow closer to each other and things get heated between them.
Allison is a smart, shy woman. She is very passionate about writing or journalism, just like Anchor is very passionate about swimming. She thinks that there is something special about Anchor, but she’s hesitant to start something with him since she doesn’t want to be distracted. She can’t keep fighting the attraction for long.
Anchor thinks and knows he’s the best. He is the best swimmer the college has ever known. He’s always able to get the team to win the race. He desperately wants to be in the team for the Olympic Games and he’s determined to convince everybody he belongs there. He loves to party and get in trouble. He doesn’t want to be in a relationship, but he’s very interested in Allison.
I was doubting between 3 and 4 stars. The book had a lot of potential and I definitely want to read more books by the author, but I was sometimes frustrated by Allison and Anchor. They say ‘I love you’ when I didn’t feel the love and when, in my opinion, they didn’t know each other well enough to say those words. They would say ‘I love you’ and the next moment they were doubting the other person or doubting their feelings. I did love the ending and that the characters are different at the end. At the end, they are a great couple and perfect for each other. They belong together and want to be together forever.

This was a fun read about college students, who think they know what they want out of life, until love enters the equation. Anchor is the star of the college swim team with his sights set on competing in the Olympics. Allison is a journalism student and editor of her College newspaper, with dreams of writing for the New York Times. Allison is given one last assignment to do a big story about the swim program at the college, big enough to get her a job offer in New York.
"Anchor was actually trying to defend me. I feel a little bit of...something. I'm not sure what it is. Is it some weird type of pride, that this character, who is so adored by everyone, made an effort to defend me against unwanted advances?"
"My mind is racing with the possibilities. I'm firing on all mental cylinders."
"I feel like some kind of animal trapped in a spider's web."
It was easy to fall in love with these two strong characters, to have a feeling I knew what was going to happen and then to see how they reacted and how the story played out. Anchor is not so much a bad boy as a man having a bit of fun while enjoying his sport.
This book was gifted by the author for an honest review.
Merged review:
I really enjoyed this pithy, tongue in cheek romance between a wedding planner and a Rodeo Rider. It was a love at first sight kind of book, a deer in the headlight moment when both Katy and Colton didn't even get the others name or number.
"...a man who takes off a bra as fast as a cowboy draws a pistol is going to be trouble...it means he's had too much "experience" with other women."
"This woman had been completely wild in bed. She had squirmed and moaned in all the right ways that had turned him on like nothing else."
"Colton was now, now that I saw him, at least, a complete obsession."
"He was rock hard...and large. Rocl hard and large was always a good combination in my book."
This is a fun book to read, my first by this author, who gifted this book to me for an honest review.

Anchor is all about himself and a Ego to match, his only concerns are swimming and getting into the Olympics swim team. He is known around school as the Sport's Star and has Woman always around willing to give it up to him. Allison is a School reporter and reports on all sorts of stuff except Sports as she has never been a big fan of any sport period, but when her Professor meets up with her to tell her she needs to write a piece on the Swim Team that would help in her Career she does it, not only does she have to write the piece she was asked to hang around the one and only Anchor to help her get the story.
What I enjoyed most about Deep End is watching two people who both have their minds set on certain parts they want to accomplish more then anything in life and willing to do almost anything to get there. Anchor wants in the Olympics and Allison wants a job working for the Times. When they get together and start hanging out so Anchor can teach her the swim terms etc they start to get closer, his attitude starts to get better and she realizes she hasnt been fully living, they both start to feel completely different in a good way when they are together.
This story is great, super entertaining with plenty to keep you wanting more. This story has a Sports Star of the swim team at their College and a Reporter that is wanting into the Times once she has graduated, plenty of pranks in this story that will have you going what the heck? Anchor and his not listening to anyone and out to do what he wants when he wants it constantly getting into trouble, Allison always the good girl working so hard always studding to stay at the top of all her classes, when the two get together both their lives will never be the same, A love story. If you like stories like this, then Deep End is a must!!

Received this complimentary arc copy from the author for an honest review.
He is perfect, just perfect..BUT ...an idiot, a cocky arrogant idiot. Or is he.
When Allison , a writer meets Anchor/Matt one evening, he is sat on top of a statue. What an idiot. Right away she doesn't like him, even though he is hot.
She is confused with her feelings for him. Fascination and contempt maybe.
Anchor loves to swim, all the time, it's his passion. When he has to help Allison get to know the team , how difficult can that be.
A young couple getting to know each other, fighting their feelings but Allison has a secret. Her views on him originally are so bad it could destroy his hopes and dreams. This was a sexy, fun read with all their hopes growing every day. Secrets being revealed and can they survive the scandal. About doing the right thing. Loved it all.

The Wedding Planner and the Cowboy....who would have guessed, but it works.
Katy used to love her job but now she wants a man of her own, someone to love and care for. Colton wants something different than all the rodeo groupies and more meaningful. When they meet in a bar it is instant .....wow, hot and a deeper attraction than normal. An inner peace with each other.
Like meeting your soul mate even after such a short time, they just want to be together. They even declare their love for one another but fate and life has a way of getting in the way of things.
Lots of schemes, betrayals, passion, drama and so much more. It made me laugh, forget to breathe at times it was so omg moments but worth reading every line. Loved it.

She is confused with her feelings for him. Fascination and contempt maybe.
Anchor loves to swim, all the time, it's his passion. When he has to help Allison get to know the team , how difficult can that be.
A young couple getting to know each other, fighting their feelings but Allison has a secret. Her views on him originally are so bad it could destroy his hopes and dreams. This was a sexy, fun read with all their hopes growing every day. Secrets being revealed and can they survive the scandal. About doing the right thing. Loved it all.

The Wedding Planner and the Cowboy....who would have guessed, but it works.
Katy used to love her job but now she wants a man of her own, someone to love and care for. Colton wants something different than all the rodeo groupies and more meaningful. When they meet in a bar it is instant .....wow, hot and a deeper attraction than normal. An inner peace with each other.
Like meeting your soul mate even after such a short time, they just want to be together. They even declare their love for one another but fate and life has a way of getting in the way of things.
Lots of schemes, betrayals, passion, drama and so much more. It made me laugh, forget to breathe at times it was so omg moments but worth reading every line. Loved it.

Allison is a college journalist with dreams of working for the national newspaper, The Times. She is assigned by her professor to write an expose on the swimming team. Anchor is the egotistical captain of the swim team and potential contender for the Olympics swim team. These two opposites naturally cross paths and at first Allison is totally turned off by his cocky attitude. The physical attraction, the challenges and the natural flow of events produce amazing changes in both Allison & Anchor. Very good story and is well written. I was given an ARC in exchange for an honest review. Four Stars.

This book is truly a "wild ride" in every way. Katy and Colton make an unlikely couple. Each is dissatisfied with the direction of their careers. Katy is a wedding planner longing for her own walk down the aisle. Colton is a bull rider longing to be a "famous" rodeo star for the financial security. However, Colton appears to be a few cards shy of a full deck. In his quest to be a celebrity, he makes some unbelievable decisions that will have the reader just shaking their head. There is the drama of a disloyal friend and partner, a heartless conniving manager and the consequences of one angry bull. Fast paced action, silly, foolish, sometimes dangerous choices and incredible hutzpah by both characters makes the whole package one peculiar "wild ride". I was given an ARC in exchange for an honest review. Four stars.

Katy is a wedding planner. She loves but also hates her job. She feels she will never get her dream wedding.
Colton is a bull riding player. He spends his time out of the riding ring, drinking and riding buckle bunnies.
Once meeting Katy, Colton knew no buckle bunny was gonna come close to her.
This book has badass bull riders! Hot cowboys and sassy women. Then there is a fake wedding!
I recommend this book to everyone!

Matt aka Anchor is the captain and Anchor of his college swim team. He is the guy who always pulls the from behind for victory. He is hot and he knows it. He doesn't chase women cause he doesn't have to. They chase him and fall at his feet.
Allison is the editor and chief for her college newspaper. She has been given the assignment of a lifetime. To do a story on the college's Division 1 swim team. Which would mean her main focus is on Anchor, captain of the team and campus King. She plans to expose the swim team and their playboy Anchor.
If Allison finds out certain things and prints them in her article Anchor might have to kiss his dream of the Olympics away. So he decides to play nice with her. While she is trying to play flirty nice girl to him to get the dirt.
This book kept me on the edge of my seat. Suspenseful! Hot sex scenes! Hot guys in a Speedo! what more could you ask for.
I RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO EVERYONE!!!

Anchor (Matt) is the captain of the swim team and the best swimmer the college has ever seen. He's a playboy who doesn't follow the rules and loves to have fun.
Allison is a nerdy girl working for the college paper and is given an assignment to write a paper on the swim team. Her inside source is no other then the guy with the largest ego and loves to mess with every girl he sees. Allison doesn't like him from the moment she met him. She dislikes sports even more. Unfortunately, once she sees him in his speedo, she wants him bad! Anchor hA hopes of making the US Olympic team next year and his couch tell him to keep it in his pants and to NOT get close to Allison. It so hard to do considering the chemistry is off the charts between them. Allison ends up making a huge mistake that causes Anchor being thrown off the swim team and he seems like he throws the biggest party ever at the swim house. His chances of making it to the Olympics seems pretty much non existent now. What could Allison have done to cause this type of outcome?
Will Anchor forgive Allison?
Read the book and find out! Great Book!

I was given an ARC of Deep End for a honest review. I personally loved it. It was a fun fast paced read. It was a little different than most sports romances in that it was about a swimmer. Anchor is an arrogant, obnoxious and disrespectful. He thinks the world revolves around him, he thinks since he is the best swimmer and thinks he is headed to the Olympics, until his coach throws a wrench in his plans. Coach wants him to make the swim team look good for a journalism student for the college paper. In walks Allison confident, independent and really does not like jocks. Her professor has told her to get behind the scenes story of the swim team. Both the coach and the professor have told not to get involved. Well needless the fun begins. I liked that Roxeanne Rolling wrote from both Anchor and Allison's points of view. The problem I had with the story is getting background on the two main characters. I would have liked a little more info on them to see how they got the way they did. I would have liked a little more suspense, but I realize this is a short story, so that really wasn't a possibility. Overall this is fun, silly love story, which I had no problem with.

I thought this was a great book about instant attraction and finding happiness and love. Katy is a wedding planner with a dream of having a wedding of her own. Colton is a guy she is attracted to but knows she can never be serious with him. Colton lives a glamorous life at the top of his career. When these two meet the attraction is undeniable. What happens though when they connect and look toward the future was so enjoyable to read. Both had to do some soul searching to find what was important in life. I am a huge fan of Colton and Katy!

Anchor was the captain of the swim team. Cocky and always getting into trouble, it did not matter as he could do whatever he wanted. When he meets a reporter from the school paper there to write a paper about the swim team, the connection he feels for Allison is unlike anything he has felt before. What will happen has they learn about each other? Will Allison see more about Anchor than his party ways? Will Anchor care enough about Allison or will she be a one night stand like the rest? I thought this was a good story about figuring out what is important in life.

I really enjoyed reading this book. Anchor is the star of the college swim team with a good possibility of being on the Olympic team, and with an ego the size of the tallest mountain. I really disliked him immensely at the beginning of the book. Then, there is Allison, a nerd and editor of the college newspaper, that is trying to write an article on the swim team, but this is an article to bring down the swim team, a tell all article that releases all of their ghosts out their closet. I disliked her almost as most as I disliked Anchor at the beginning. From there, this book has a great story. As Anchor and Allison get together to work on this story, they become so much better together. What started out as two seperate people I did not like, turned into a wonderful pair, and to get from one to the other is an enjoyable story. I received this book from the author in return for an honest review, and I do recommend this book.

*I received this book in exchange of an honest review*
If you like straight to the point, little drama, fast get together sports romances then "Deep End" is for you!!! Original and refreshing with the chosen sport being swimming, it changes us from the football trend that we have going on!! Based on notions like competitivity, jealousy and how love can change anyone, even two dedicated, arrogant and extremely self confident people into better versions of themselves, the story has lots of potential! But i can't help but feel that it could have been better, so much better! I wish the flow of events was slower, stretched, with smoother transactions, the story developed and detailed a little bit more... It was a little too fast and too abrupt for me. With hot characters, sizzling scenes, crazy chemistry and a creative story, "Deep End" is still a sweet read... But i just think that with the right changes it can become a masterpiece!!

No being a fan of sports I wasn't sure how I would feel about this book but it focused a lot on personalities more than the actual sport so it was perfect for me. Allison has been assigned to write an article for the school newspaper on the swim team, and Allison is no way a fan of sports but her advisor suggested it if she wants to write for a big paper. Anchor whose real name is Matt is the star of the swim team and he knows it so he does what ever he pleases whenever he pleases. The coach tells him about Allison writing the story and not to get involved and Allison's advisor tells her the same but they are like moths to flame and they are attached immediately. How can they be together and still do what they are assigned to do and Anchor being the bad boy can he and Allison the good girl even make this work?

Anchor wants nothing more then to be apart of the Olympic team but he's antics out of the pool could haunt him. Allison wants nothing more then to be a reporter after graduation and has an assignment to write a article on the swimming team. Anchor and Allison gets off on the wrong foot but learn there is something there that neither was looking for. When Anchor goes to far he is kicked off and realizes what is most important is Allison. Allison was hurt after they got together and write a mock piece and it got published. Anchor was furious and hurt but believes Allison could never hurt him. Can Allison make it up to Anchor and both finally be in reach of their dreams. I liked this story it just showed both characters growing and seeing what was more important

This is my first book to read by Roxeanne Rolling. I have to say not too bad for a first book. The reason for the 3.0 rating is because I had trouble getting into the book, then just when I thought it was going to turn around, I lost interest again along toward the end. I happen to think that the book was good, but there were just some parts that I felt needed a tad bit more work to it. The story line had definite possibilities and was decent. This is one book that is definitely for mature readers 18 years of age or older because of the very explicit sexual content.

Wild ride is correct!! I really liked this book. It's well written and fast paced once the story starts moving. The characters are quirky and fin to read about. Katy is a wedding planner that has had it with planning and not having one of her pen and her partner betrays her so she has to get a way for a bit. She meets Colton a rodeo cowboy at the top of his career but not well known. They click immediate and things start to get steamy and hot, hot, hot! I had a very hard time putting it down!.

This was a new author for me and I liked the read. Katy and Colton have a chance encounter at a strip club of all places. She is a wedding planner, he is a bull rider who is there to sign some autographs. They have a night to remember and then go their separate ways. When they find themselves in the same place once more neither can deny the pull towards the other and when Colton is injured Katy is there by his side. There are twists and turns you wouldn't expect and when these two fall they fall hard. I was given an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This is the first time I have read any of this author’s work. This book has a good story line. Katy and Colton the two main characters, are both very unhappy with life when they meet. I found this a tad annoying in bits are I felt there was too much detail, example, the first time they meet, and the bedroom situation.
I look forward to reading Roxeanne’s work in the future.

I received an ARC from the author in exchange for an honest review. I thought the book had a rocky start but got better as you read. It was dual POV but I didn't like she still had the male character 3rd person, but had the female character was in first person. The main characters Colton and Katy had good chemistry and the intimacy between the two was hot. The story twists at the end, making you want to read and not stop. It was a good story.

I really liked and enjoyed this book. You have personalities that match so they make it interesting and hot. They both know what they want but it takes time to get there. He knows he is good and holds the team together and that really feeds the ego part of his personality. But when they come together in any relationship in the end is awesome on many levels.

Amazing!!! Anchor is cocky and has an ego the size of the tallest mountain. While Allison is an nerd and editor of the college newspaper, and shy. When these two come together and sparks fly. Cute story about young adults finding their way to each other and their future. Great read!! Would definitely recommend this to whoever loves reading about a bad boy sport romance. Keep up the awesome work Roxanne! Can't wait to read your next story soon.
