The Deeper We Get by Jessica Gibson
New Adult Contemporary Romance
Chad Langer was always running. Running from his past, afraid of letting himself be happy and free. College was going to be his new start. New city, new school, new people.
Scarlett would be his undoing. He knew it the moment he saw her. Something in her eyes called to him. She was just as broken as he was.
Sometimes the past doesn’t stay in the past. Will they be able to overcome the obstacles set in their path?
CHADS STORY – Woohoo! The reformed bad boy now all grown up and off to college gets his own story and after the hellish life h had to endure it is nice to see that his time with Levi’s family has given him a chance at a life far away from the one we experienced!
It isn’t far into the story he meets Scarlet and you sense that from the beginning she is someone who might make a difference to Chad and I thought their initial meeting was quite fitting to Chad’s own history too.
This was never going to be a story full of sweetness and light and for Chad to find someone who is (or was) broken too it makes the tale all the more poignant.
As with anyone with a past like Chad’s though, the path of love doesn’t run smoothly and whilst in some ways he is so open and honest from the start (the fact he isn’t perfect and he makes it clear to Scarlet he doesn’t feel himself to be relationship material more than once!) it kind of broke me that he couldn’t be honest with her with other things as well.
Still, he has to endure the crap that his old life throws at him to even begin to know how to heal and this makes for a gripping story. In the beginning you feel that he isn’t coping with life at all but just trying to carry on the best he can but he has deep issues to deal with and until that nut is cracked he’s never going to have any chance at life. You really need to read this to know how things turn out for him.
Chad has certainly grown up to be a great character and who wouldn’t love a hot boxing biker! Loved this book and once I had finally got my head round the fact that Chad has now “grown up” it was a gripping and thoughtful journey to devour!
Loved every FIVE amazing stars of it!

About Jessica Gibson
First and foremost, I’m a wife to an amazing man, and mother to a 2 year old little boy. I love to read when I can find the time, my Kindle is my best friend. I’ve read tons and tons of books. One of my favorite authors is Diana Gabaldon, her Outlander series is absolutely amazing. I also really enjoy Charlaine Harris’ True Blood series. I’ll read anything supernatural, I’ve blown through most of the good YA series’ that are out there. I think my love of reading really helped me branch out into writing.
