I’ve been offered $12 million to destroy the one thing she loves most. That’s enough money to fund several rehabilitation clinics across the country—all in my brother’s honor. Should be easy money.Then I meet Sadie. She’s sharp, sexy, can dive better than anyone I’ve ever seen, and she has this uncanny ability to get me to open up. And I just don’t do that lightly. The closer I get, the deeper I … closer I get, the deeper I fall.
In the end, can I turn down the money to keep the girl of my dreams? Or will too many lies sink my only chance at forever?

This is apart of Molly E Lee Love on Edge Series but can easily be read as a stand alone. I’m not one who likes many adventure romance books but Molly has changed my view on that yet again.
This book has romance, mystery, and dangerous situations. This book follows Connell and Sadie both career paths are diving and knowing they can be in danger in a matter of seconds.
I’m so amazed at this new author and the words and stories she can write! She is easily now one of my go to authors.
I absolutely loved the first two books of the Love on the Edge Series and I really enjoyed reading this third book but I have to say that it couldn’t always hold my attention the same way as the previous books could.
As always Molly E. Lee told the adventure amazingly well even though I couldn’t connect with the divers and their passion for danger and ship wrecks in this book as much as I would have liked. I enjoyed reading about it nonetheless but just wasn’t pulled into their magic bubble.
The Story:
Sadie is in love and she would do anything to save her – The Falconer, a sunken WW II cargo ship in the depth of the ocean. When the ship and Sadie’s site is threatened to be destroyed because of an oil pipeline to be laid there, she is determined to fight with everything she can.
Connell is one of the best welder’s if not the best in his profession. He works for Slade and is offered an opportunity to earn an awful lot of money just for siding with Slade and stating the fact that the site of the ship wreck is not worth saving. Though he didn’t count on Sadie and her urge to save what everyone else already wrote off. She sees the beauty in the most obscure things. No one shared her passion and the love of the ocean that’s her home and when Connell is the only one being able to save her site she is determined to get him on her side. Neither of them expected the pull toward each other that’s growing during their work together and even though they can’t deny it there are some dark secretes hidden in the depth of Connell that may shatter everything that’s developed between Sadie and him.
Thoughts:
I liked the characters of Sadie and Connell and loved to read both of their POVs but I couldn’t connect with them as much as with the characters of the previous books. The story was good but felt a bit long at some parts. At around 70% it started to be what I’m used to of Molly’s writing. I loved the suspense that sadly just started late in the book, until then there was just one scene that really kept me on the edge of the seat.
This book is definitely worth reading and instills the want for more especially the mention of hurricanes at one point made me consider re-reading the first book in this series. =)
All in all it still was a really good read and I can’t wait to read more of her books and hope there are more to come in this series because the storylines of her adventure books are really creative and surprise me each time.
*I won an ARC of this book.*
I really enjoyed this third book in the stand alone series by Molly E. Lee. Just like the previous books it centers around a love story, but filled with action and drama and high risk situations. In this volume, we have some deep sea divers…they both work on different things under the water, but they both love being there. One of my favorite lines in the book is when Sadie is talking about girls wanting to be treated like princesses…and she said something about how she’s always preferred mermaids anyway. I am the same way, so I really connected with that line. There is a bit of betrayal in this book and situations that the main couple has to work through or get out of. There will probably be tears, or at least sadness when you read it, but there’s also some really great moments and some very touching ones as well.
I also really loved that at a couple points in the book, there was a mention of the other couples from the previous books in the series. Because of that alone, I was glad I chose to read the books in there “numerical” order. But it would not have detracted from the stories at all if I had read them out of order.
I hadn’t read anything by this author prior to winning the ARC and then borrowing/buying the others in the series, but I am definitely a fan of her writing and I will be watching her from now on. If you enjoy high action romance stories, or realistic fiction, you would enjoy these books.
