Kimberly’s Reviews > Deep Down > Status Update

Ok. I have to get something off my chest here, both as a reader and a writer. WHY MUST ALL ROMANCE NOVELS WHEN WRITTEN IN THE GUY’S PERSPECTIVE ALWAYS END UP RUINING THE MAGIC WITH THE GUY TALKING ABOUT HIS PENIS? Like, I get it. He’s aroused. He doesn’t have to mention it three times in the span of two pages.

Best character award goes to Walter the famous author! I’m pretty much in love with the old man. Paraphrasing when Reed must ask Walter to convince Ivy to go out with Reed—Walt: “Are you an attorney?” Reed: “Yes.” Walt: “Then not just no, but hell no.” LOVE WALTER!

Well ok then. Lust at first sight. Both have sworn off relationships. A crazy ex groping him in his office and not taking the hint. This took quite a turn.

The one thing that’s keeping me reading is that the author seems to know what she’s doing in how she handles the tragic/horrific event that Ivy has experienced. That said, I’m still struggling to get past that part of the book mostly because it was so dark and triggering.

I’m trying to push past the traumatic/horrific event to develop a little further in mainly because most of the reviews are positive. That said, I don’t know if I’ll be able to enjoy the romance portion of the book after what initially happened to the MC. We’ll see I suppose.
