Love Deep is a cosy romance with no great dramas or heartbreak but does have an emotional depth to the story.
Juniper a single mum to 8 year old Riley, she is a teaching assistant and an artist who has sold some of her paintings to the local hotel. She meets billionaire Fisher when he is visiting Star Falls from New Year for some business deals, they are immediately attracted to each other.
Their relationship develops quickly both falling hard but navigating being together has many obstacles not least Fisher living 2000 miles away in New York and both have misgivings about giving up their lives, especially Juniper as she has never left Star Falls and has Riley to think about. This leads to them separating despite how they feel about each other.
They are both well described characters but I did wish Juniper had a bit more grit, Fisher was great though (in my opinion) did have the weirdest order to Juniper when they were making love, I did not think it added to these scenes and was rather ‘frustrating’
My thanks to net galley and publisher for the opportunity to review this book honestly.

a tender and emotional read with some cute and sweet moments mixed in. it felt like a natural and easy connection between the two main characters. despite what could keep them apart they were clearly made for each other.
i felt sorry for our main female character who just seems to have pushed herself into this one role and does seem to believe others can see her as any different too. she was a great mum and just wanted to dedicate her life to that. didn't she?
because when someone walks through the door that could reshape her world its seems impossible. but its not something she is able to ignore.
but this connection has a time limit. hes not here to stay. she cant possibly give her heart to him if hes going to be someone who leaves can she? could they ever make it work, get the right balance?
i found reading these two connection was really authentic. and i could see the view points about their future from both sides.
i also liked the wish for herself career wise. but not being brave enough. there seemed to be so much self doubt in our main female character. i wanted to shake it out of her or shake a world that has made her feel this way!
i really liked the way the author wrote. her style had ease and flow to it. which did make me read far too much of this book without a breather though haha.and then quickly picked it right back up to finish. that can only be a good thing.

I breezed through this billionaire romance in a single sitting, which says a lot about how engaging it was, even if I had a few reservations. Juniper was a likable heroine, though at times it felt as though her identity was overshadowed by the “single mom” role, almost as if that was the only lens through which she viewed herself. Fisher was charming, and the chemistry between them came through nicely, but the central obstacle keeping them apart lingered unresolved until the very end. The eventual resolution leaned heavily on a “just go for it” leap of faith, which tied things up rather quickly.

That said, their gradual build of trust felt authentic, and the story had plenty of heartwarming moments sprinkled throughout. It left me curious to see what happens in the next installment, and I’ll be diving into more of the author’s backlist while I wait.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Louise Bay for the advanced copy!

Overall this was a pretty good billionaire romance, and I read it in a day so despite my quibbles I did enjoy it. I felt like Juniper's personality got a little lost under the single mom trope and like that was the only way she saw herself, which was a little frustrating. The reasons she and Fisher couldn't be together still applied at the end, so it was really just a "take the leap" resolution and then it wrapped up quite quickly, but there were many sweet moments and they did build a trust with each other that was believable. I will definitely continue the series, and I still have some of the author's backlist to catch up on in the meantime.

Thanks so much to Louise Bay via Netgalley for the e-arc.

Thank you NetGalley for giving me this ARC in exchange of an honest review.

Actual rating 3 ⭐️

Surprisingly, this was good. Not anything new but I love a small town single mom romance. And this one was also a billionaire romance!
