Great storyline with Lea and Alex in how they know each other from their pasts and how they are connected now. This is the second book in the series written with such emotion and care in how the characters are portrayed. Like how everything is explained and is all wrapped up in the end so that both Lea and Alex are able to get their own happy ending in all aspects of life.

Another passionate story from this great author that had a compelling cause. A human attraction, a humane, compassionate & preserveational approach were fundamental elements in this remarkable flawlessly written story, as one has come to expect from the fabulous Miss Molly. It was raw but intimate, funny, but I wept with happiness & feel goods, whilst having huge respect for tackling one of the very real issues we humans know of but do so little about. Remarkable & highly recommended. I received an arc & this is my honest & voluntary review.
“The only thing you’ve trapped is my heart, Lea” Alex tells her in chapter 21
What a wonderful story! This is the kind of book that get’s you hooked and doesn’t let go of you until the very last page. Even then I was craving more.
The story starts out with three brothers finding out they are adopted. The story line follows Alex, the oldest, as he turns 25 and searches for his birth mother with the instructions to help his birth country in some way that is beneficial to that country. Each brother was born in a different country and it is a requirement before the they can receive their inheritance.
The story line is unique and solid. The characters are well thought out and written in an interesting and very engaging way. The book has angst, laughter, tears, family ties, and a beautiful ending.
This is the story with Lea and Alex where he discovers he is adopted and travels to Australia to find his biological parents. His friends younger sister Lea lives there so when he sees her after all those years she is now a redhead knockout. Enjoyed reading their story and how their relationship developed.

Molly Slone has written a 5-star story, This story has Lea dealing with being a single mother, not having a relationship with her parents. It has Alex dealing with finding out he is adopted. He has come to Australia to find his birth mother only to find out she has passed away. Lea was working with Alex’s mother and Alex has known her for years since she is his best friend’s sister.

Will Alex realize that he has always had feelings for Lea and tell her, or will he head back home to America?
This story will have you from the first page to the last, just to see what happens between Lea and Alex.
I would recommend this story to anyone.

This was a sweet story that tugs at your heart. It’s the second book in the series but unfortunately I haven’t read book #1.
Alex Elliot found out he was adopted and his father’s last request was that each of his 3 sons seek out their biological parents and set up a plan that will benefit their country of origin. Alex finds himself in Australia where Lea, his best friend’s sister, happens to reside. His mother and best friend insist that he call Lea and get together while he’s in Australia. All he remembers about her is how annoying she was, always following them around and how nerdy her appearance was. Reluctantly, he agrees. This should be interesting.
Lea Carlson was excommunicated to Australia by her parents when she got pregnant at 17. Told to give the baby up for adoption, she instead decided to keep the child and raise him in Australia. Being a single mother has proven to be very tough but she’s made it work and is now a marine biologist heading up The Reef Project. She’s strong, determined to save the Great Barrier Reef and not at all like the Lea Alex remembered. Their first meeting is very amusing.
I liked this story with its swoony vibe and its almost insta-love thing going. I mean, I get that Lea always had a huge crush on Alex but when exactly did he fall in love with her? I read the part that he said “I’m not going anywhere, except deeper in love with you” and I didn’t really buy it. I didn’t think he was there yet but whatever. I’ll ride that wave. lol There were twists that threw me for a loop. That ending at Reef Aid was divine. I loved it.

I am really enjoying this series. This second book is a great romantic read. The storyline and the characters (Alex and Lea) are very well developed. Looking forward to book # 3
Being the first time I have read a book by this author I have to say that I was very pleased with her writing skill and how she made the connections between the main characters. Finding out you were adopted after your father passes away isn’t something that is easy to live with. The love shown in Thai book is mid blowing and throw a baby into the story! It gives you the hope that everything will be alright in the end. But this book and see how these two characters grow from the best friends little sister to lovers.

Go Deeper is the second book in this series. In the last book we got to meet Caleb for his adventure. This time we’re following Alex.
The story opens the same way the last did with the three brothers learning they’re all adopted after their father died. They each have to visit and give something back to their birth country. When Alex finds out he was born in Australia he reaches out to Lea who happens to be his best friends sister. Their connection is undeniable and it grows as they spend more time together.
This story moves fast! You’ll keep turning the pages and be fully invested in the story arch and figuring out what happens next. I can’t wait for book three!

We have seen a lot of stories about Best friend’s little sister. This story is quite different from the outset. Lea got pregnant in high school and her boyfriend died surfing. Being a minister, her father decided to send her away and wanted her to give away her child. When she refused the adoption, her parents stopped communication with her. Luckily her aunt helped her back on her feet with her little boy. When his father died, Alex found out he was adopted. To get his inheritance, he has to complete a mission at the place where he is from. He ended up in the same town his best friend’s little sister, Lea, is. Lea used to have a crush on Alex. As they rekindle their passion, Alex and Lea both need to find their own way. It is quite a simple and heart warming story.

Lea had followed her brother and his best friend, Alex, around and pestered them. Then after a falling out with her parents, she moved to Australia. When Alex found out he was adopted, he went to Australia to find his birth parents-double surprise! Lea and Alex have more than a few obstacles to overcome if the want their HEA. This author’s books are always a good read with well developed characters and includes aspects of philanthropy, humanitarian assistance, and environmental issues.

A bit of a slow start but turned out to be a sweet story. Lea had some hard times when she was young but pulled herself together and made something of herself. Alex is just learning who he truly is when their paths cross again after years. Nice HE A ending. Overall a quick and pleasant read.

Sit back, relax and enjoy a lazy day reading a storyline that lures you in.
Alex just got the shock of his life. Upon his dad’s death, he learns he was adopted. His dad’s will has Alex going to his birthplace to find his biological mother and do something that will help his birth country….something big. He has to develop a plan, activate that plan and present it to his deceased dad’s board of directors for approval. After all this, if he’s successful, he getshis billion dollar inheritance. So off to Australia he goes, to plan his work and work his plan. He never knew how emotional that would be, how life changing it would be. This fun-loving, irresponsible surfer boy has to become a man.
Lea is strong. She had to be. At 17, she was in love. Call it puppy love or something else. She’ll never know. His name was Charlie and he loved her too. But one tragic day, Charlie was gone. He died in a surfing incident. The wave was just too strong. He never knew he was to be a father.
Lea’s parents sent her away. No scandal for them. Her parents wouldn’t be humiliated by having a pregnant, unmarried daughter.
She was sent across the sea to Australia. She’s scared, pregnant and still in high school. With her Aussie aunt’s help, she overcame so many obstacles. Like I said. She was strong. She also was smart. She finished her education, became a marine biologist, and was a loving mother.
Now you know the backstory…. but that’s only the start. It’s the struggles and feels of making all this come together that keeps you turning the pages. Yes, sometimes, dreams do come true.

The start was a little slow but I understand why as it gives the background to the family. Once I got past that part up the book was wonderful.
Alex and his brothers found out they were adopted when their father dies. Each are given a packet and told they can’t open until they are 25. Alex is the first to turn 25. They each have the year after that to go to their birth countries and come up with a plan to give back to those countries.
Alex’s best friend David has a sister who lives where he has to go. He suggested he look her up. Lea was his sister. Alex gives her a call and finds her attractive and not that annoying kid who followed them around.
He tells Lea his story and finds out that her professor and mentor was his mother. Lea tells him she passed away two years before. Will he keep her foundation going? Will he fall for Lea? Does he find his biological father? You will have to read to find out!

The story of Alex and Lea is touching and realistic. Lea was sent to Australia to live with her aunt and she became a marine biologist. Alex goes on the journey to find his family in Australia. Lea is the only person he knows in the area. She helps him find the answers he is looking for and he finds out why she left town in high school.
There are a few surprises that pop up to keep you invested in the book. I can’t wait for third installment to see where and what will come about.
