Going Deep

by Kimberly Dean

As a cheerleader at Southern Trinity University, Brynn Montgomery had fought her attraction to the football team’s star receiver, Cody Jones. She’d been dating his roommate, Rex, but Cody had always been there, watching and waiting. On one fateful night, Brynn finally gives in to Cody’s desires, only to have Rex catch them and a full-blown sex scandal erupt. Ten years later, Brynn returns to the university to teach and – hopefully – restore her dignity and reputation. That proves to be difficult, though, for Cody is now the football coach and Rex is the manager of a rival team. Soon, Brynn is caught up in the clash of pads, the shimmer of pom pons, and the lust of healthy athletes. Rex uses her guilt to get close to her, but it’s Cody who’s the most dangerous. This time, he’s determined to score - and score big.

About the author

When taking the Myers-Briggs personality test in high school, Kimberly was rated as an INFJ (Introverted-Intuitive-Feeling-Judging). This result sent her into a panic, because there were no career paths recommended for the type. Fortunately, it turned out to be well-suited to a writing career. Since receiving that dismal outlook, Kimberly has become an award-winning author of romance and erotica. She has written for seven publishing houses, both domestic and international, and has recently focused her efforts on the exciting world of self-publishing. When not writing, she enjoys movies, sports, traveling, music, and sunshine. In her mind, a beach, some rock 'n' roll, and a good book make for a perfect day.

I'd like to start by saying I'm not usually one to write negative reviews. With that said, I have to be honest.

This book... I'm so disappointed. It went from the highest of highs to the lowest of lows. It started out so incredibly awesome, I thought I'd hit the motherload. Cody and Brynn had amazing chemistry and I loved them together. Cody was the only reason I gave any stars to this book. He was Book Boyfriend perfection. Brynn started out great, but then she turned on me :( She turned into a cheating raging slut and I don't know why!?!?!? She slept with three different guys, cheated on Cody once they FINALLY got together, and it broke my heart.

Going Deep started out with 5 strong stars, and in the end I'm giving one lone star to Cody. He was the only bright spot. I can't even express the disappointment I have. I read a few other books from this author and those were pretty good. I don't know why she wrote this one this way, and even though I don't like the turn of events, she does have a good writing style. But I just can't get over how sad I am that this book wasn't what it could and should have been.

The worst part is, Cody has been in love with her for 10 years and has always felt he was her second (or third, the hussy) choice. I didn't buy the ending. She gets to get naked, yet again with ANOTHER guy, after Cody walks in on her screwing the third guy, and steals a playbook thinking that will earn brownie points?! No. Just no.

Ok, I'm done ranting. I'll cry into my cheerios now at the loss of what could have been an amazing read.

I think the issue with this book is it seemed to switch genres a few times.
From romance to erotic and back and forth.

The problem is the heroine was TSTL ... a lot. Like, a lot a lot a lot. A. Lot. She let her "guilt" decide a lot of things, but then you see it was just willful blindness, and that was on her.
And that her "besties" are people she's supposed to be teaching/coaching.

Some really great chemistry and hot sex scenes, and I'm almost always team heroine, but in this case ... someone needed to shake her.

Delightfully exciting erotica
5 stars

Back in college, cheerleader Brynn Montgomery was determined to ignore her attraction to Cody Jones, the football team's star player, bane of her existence and her boyfriend Rex's roommate. One fateful night things came to head and a scandal ensued that saw Brynn leaving university for good.

10 years later, Brynn is back at Southern Trinity University as a professor and determined to lay the scandal to rest. Little does she know that Cody is now the coach of the football team and Rex the coach of their biggest rivals. Soon Brynn is once again caught between the two delicious athletes and a scandal is brewing that will make everyone forget what happened 10 years ago.

This book is a delight for people who like erotica but also want an actual plot to go along with all the sex. The story is unashamedly hot and there are numerous sex scenes that will get your heart racing.

You are really drawn into the world of cheerleaders and football players and the writer writes in such a way that you won't want to put the book down.

All the characters are a delight especially Cody who was a rugged alpha male with a soft, sensitive side - you couldn't help but fall for him! I did like Brynn and felt that her confusion was very real, I just wish she had been a little less clueless at times. However, if she had been, there wouldn't be nearly as much sex in the book so I guess I shouldn't complain!

I have enjoyed Kimberly Dean's stories in the past (and would recommend High School Reunion for another great erotic tale) and this story does not disappoint. Erotic, exciting, interesting and with a sweet happily ever after - this is definitely a book I would recommend. 5 stars.

What she said! ---> https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

The chemistry was off the charts and things were awesome...until the heroine became TSTL and started sleeping with every guy to show interest and cheated on the hero. I just totally lost all interest when that happened.
