Before I begin my review I just want to say that Going In Deep can be read as a standalone, but the characters Julian and Kendall have all been introduced in the previous books of the series and we were given a bit of insight on them. Julian was the villain and Kendall was the woman that he hurt hence why Going In Deep is more of a second chance redemption love story between these two.
The beauty of this book is the intensity of the relationship of Julian and Kendall. The journey of where they were before and how they came full circle to this point. Julian was seen as the villain in the previous books but in this story, he is seen as that hero that your heart wanted to root for. You wanted him to get his happily ever after. And boy oh boy did Carly Phillips give you all the feels. I love that Julian didn’t sugarcoat his past. He owned it. He didn’t regret it but acknowledged that it was the defining moment of what led him to open his heart to Kendall. As for Kendall, I loved her. I admired her strength and backbone to stand up to Lexie and Kade and show them that she is strong enough to make her own decision and follow her own heart’s wants and desires.
Going In Deep was another fantastic book written by Carly Phillips. I loved everything about this book from the sexual and emotional connection of Julian and Kendall to the burning passion and love that these two have for each other. All I can say go read this heartwarming second chance redemption story and fall in love with these characters.
