Deep Down is my first read by Elle Aycart, I have to say the synopsis didn’t do this book justice. I anticipated it would be a good book, but this is a phenomenal story with some of the hottest smexy scenes I have read. The characters are the kind that pull at your heartstrings, make you laugh out loud, cry, and in some instances pant like a female dog in heat. I love how well the author balances “real” with fictional alpha man for Mike. He is probably one of the most realistic of alpha male characters I’ve read. Now, don’t get me wrong he is fictional as they come, but I could see him as a real person, unlike the Christian Grey’s of the literary world.Kyra is the kind of character you just can’t help feel for. Her life wasn’t exactly easy as a kid, it instilled a yearning desire to succeed, to make something of herself at all costs. There are moments in the book where you will want to shake her, hug her, cry for her, and then wish like hell you were her. The chemistry between Kyra and Mike is off the freaking charts hot, hot, hot.Another facet of Kyra is that she is a mom, and an amazing one at that.This book has the perfect amount of emotional angst, sexual tension, and fulfillment. It can be really challenging to find that kind of balance and Aycart does it flawlessly. Also, this being a second chance romance, I like that it wasn’t a “okay I’m over it, let’s do it” kind of book. The characters really struggled to overcome the past and it was hard for them to come to equal ground. One of my favorite characters in this book was Mike’s Grandma… I haven’t laughed so hard at a character since reading Janet Evanovich’s Numbers series, the antics of the grandmother got me over and over in that series and the “OGs” in this book were even more hilarious.“I’m eighty-one. If there is one thing I’ve learned in life, it’s that looking backward only gets you a stiff neck and a head contusion when you crash into the lamppost you didn’t see in front of you.”Mike… I already sort of touched on him, so I am going to share a few of my favorite quotes…“You’re dripping wet, kitten.”“I need the words, kitten.”Oh, Mike… I’m kind of in love with him. He is going straight to the top five BBFs (book boyfriends for those not in the know) of 2014. (swoon)Deep Down gets a FIVE PLUS stars for the most well rounded and amazing second chance romance storyline I have EVER read and rates a FIVE PLUS drenched, torn, and burned up pairs of panties. Holy-freakin-smut! Absolute MUST read!Review by the Head Whore at Mommy’s a Book Whore.
