New Release & Review | Down Too Deep (Dirty Deeds #4) by J. Daniels

Two single
parents and three adorable kids are about to have a summer they’ll never forget
in this sexy, heartwarming new novel of the New York Times bestselling
series.
Following the sudden death of his wife, Nathan Bell spent nearly two years burying himself in work and neglecting his biggest responsibility: his daughter. Overcome with guilt, he wants to connect with little Marley, but he doesn’t know how to do it alone. And then Jenna Savage throws him a lifeline.
A single mom of twins, Jenna is more than capable of taking care of Nathan’s adorable two-year-old and wants to help Nathan however she can. As the days go by and her attraction to Nathan grows, she can’t help wondering what might happen if they became a family for real. And the closer everyone becomes, the more right it feels.
Falling in love forces Nathan to face his biggest fear, and when hearts — both big and little — are on the line, the only thing scarier than needing Jenna and her kids so much is losing them all.

Down Too Deep is the fourth book in the Dirty Deeds series written by J. Daniels. If you haven’t yet had the time to read the first three books in the Dirty Deeds series, have no fear, Down Too Deep can be read as a standalone.

Two fractured hearts and broken souls come together and slowly merge as one. He helps her mend her fears while she helps him mend his heart. And in the midst of it all they’re are three very adorable kids.

Nathan hasn’t had the easiest life these past few years. He lives his life day to day just going through the motions. That would normally work for any human being after tragedy strikes, but Nate isn’t a normal person…Nate is a father. When Nate’s dad finally puts his foot down and orders his son to take care of his daughter, Nate isn’t sure what to do. He knows he loves his daughter, but the pain and guilt of losing his wife intensifies everytime he looks at his baby girl.

Jenna’s life revolves around her twins, Oliver and Olivia, and there’s nothing she wouldn’t give or do for them. After having her own crash in burn relationship moments, that’s just the way she likes it. Her two children and her.

When Jenna meets Nate’s adorable baby girl, Marley, it’s head over heels in love at first sight. It’s the summertime so she offers to help workaholic Nate out for a few months and on the sly she starts to help rebuild the relationship between father and daughter. A relationship that Nate wants with all his heart, but is too scared to map out.

This is another novel that shows fate at its finest. Before I first started this novel I knew nobody and no couple could hold a flame next to Sean and Shayla (Bad For You)….but…boy was I wrong! I wouldn’t say I loved them more, however I do love their stories both as equals just in different ways.

Nate and Jenna’s story starts off on an extremely sad note. My heart legit felt like it was falling into my stomach while reading the conversation between Nate and his dad. I felt the fear Nate was feeling rolling off the pages. I felt the pain and agony of a father having to finally step in and put an end to his sons guilt and heartache just enough so he can step in and be the man his daughter needs. There was so much heartfelt pain in this one particular scene. It had me stopping and taking a deep breath, because I knew this wasn’t going to be the only heartache portrayed in this novel. I knew right off the bat that Down Too Deep wasn’t going to be an easy read……But then it happened.. Once I got into Nate and Jenna’s story I literally couldn’t wipe the smile from my face.

Nate and Jenna’s story  goes through all the steps a relationship tends to gravitate towards, but in their own way. I respect this aspect of the novel. I loved how their relationship gradually grew from acquaintances, to friends, and then into something more. I loved the fear of the unknown and the guilt of not being sure if he’s moving on too fast or at the perfect pace. This story couldn’t have been told any better than the way J. Daniels told it. The slow build gave it the cute and swoony vibes I was hoping for and in the end, it made all the emotions much more intense and real. And it made all the little steps that much more important.

I do have to say, the little rascals stole the show for me. Olivia, Oliver, and Marley were so stinkin’ cute. I loved reading all their interactions with one another. Each child had their own moment to shine and there moment to give off unending tears. There were some moments I had to sit my kindle aside and just reflect on my own life and how grateful I am to have had both parents there while I was growing up.

Overall, Down Too Deep was a phenomenal romance novel. The family vibes is what initially drew me in from the start. This novel took a piece of my heart and there isn’t any part of me that wants it back. As I sit and write this review, just know, I still have a smile etched on my face for each and everyone of these characters. Through all the turmoil and hardships they faced, they sure did get one hell of a truly deserved happily ever after.
