Publisher's summary

Twenty years ago, she had her whole life spread out before her. She was Bess Walsh, a fresh-scrubbed, middle-class student ready to conquer the design world. And she was taken. Absolutely and completely. But not by Andy, her well-groomed, intellectual boyfriend who had hinted more than once about a ring. No. During that hot summer as a waitress and living on the beach, she met Nick, the moody, dark-haired, local bad boy. He was, to put it mildly, not someone she could take home to Daddy. Instead, Nick became her dirty little secret - a fervent sexual accomplice who knew how to ignite an all-consuming obsession she had no idea she carried deep within her. Bess had always wondered what happened to Nick after that summer, after their promise to meet again. And now, back at the beach house and taking a break from responsibility, from marriage, from life, she discovers his heartbreaking fate - and why he never came back for her.Suddenly, Nick's name is on her lips...his hands on her thighs...dark hair and eyes called back from the swirling gray of purgatory's depths. Dead, alive, or something in between, they can't stop their hunger. She wouldn't dare.

Critic reviews

"Ms. Hart is a master of all genres. Her stories grip you from the onset." ( Romance Junkies)

Couldn't Get Enough

I can hardly express how much I loved this telling. Every aspect moved me, emotionally, mentally, and sexually. I couldn't wait to hear how the story unfolded. It was the perfect mix of romance, sex, and drama. Others should take note of how it's done. Erotica doesn't mean that all of your mental and emotional synapses and wants have to be ignored or set aside for a romp in the hay. Hart shows how to mix everything that makes romance and great, raw sex so yummy with characters who are real and have depth.

Good Book, but...

Any additional comments?

You won't be disappointed!! Great story line, and narration!!

A story about unresolved past

The story made me sad and frustrated, because the characters couldn’t tell each other what they felt until it was to late, and it took the return of a lovers spirt to help both move on.
I found Bess to be selfish, young and and cowardly. Nick was also a coward but had a lot of trust issues, but he did love her but couldn’t say it. And then it was to late, but Bess never tried to find out what happen to him, where was the love then.
Not my fave but I love the whole spirit line. Love the author too because she can do erotica without being crass and always has a great plot.

Nick...personality of a papersack

First I have to say I do love Megan Hearts books!! As far as deeper goes I really liked Bess, I loved her character and she is the one that carried the story not Nick! there was just nothing to him, no depth of character no personality you just didn't love him! I did like the ending though... I won't give it away

Terrible Summary

Fabulous romance with an interesting twist but don't count on the publisher's summary to make a decision to buy. The glaring errors in the publisher's summary make me think that the publisher never read the book. The plot is terrific but the summary is really off the mark. Bess is majoring in counseling not fashion design. She is not a waitress but the manager of a sweets store in a tourist town. She is dating a "towny", Nick, but there was no indication that her family would not approve of him but would be surprized and question her because they knew her longtime boyfriend,Andy. Nick had had a terrible childhood and wasn't going to college and seemed like a misdirected but nice guy underneath. Beth didn't want to explain herself because she wasn't confident of her relationship with Nick and "it was none of their business". Andy is a philandering cad not an intellectual but he did have plenty of money. There was not much to chose between to two young men except that Andy was a cheating liar and Nick wasn't directed but meant well and both of the men manipulated Bess. The young Bess made some bad choices and as a result had to make some very difficult decisions later in her life. The plot centers on information gathering and decision making process with sex and relationships both past and present thwown into the mix.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What made the experience of listening to Deeper the most enjoyable?

The storyline is absolutely amazing. I have never read a book that has captured me as much as this one.

What did you like best about this story?

The love story was pretty amazing. The whole going back and forth from the past and present was really intriguing to me. I couldn't put the book down.

Which character – as performed by Savannah Richards – was your favorite?

Savanna did a great job with this book. I LOVED her performance as Bess but Savannah made me fall in love with Nick..

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The last three chapters made me cry... I guess how everything turned out and the closure the characters had was pretty touching.

Any additional comments?

LOVED the book and Savannah's performance. Overall fabulous story.

WEIRD!!!!

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

yes because megan hart stories draw you in. so u just want to keep listening or reading to get to the end.
no because the story of someone coming back from the dead and being sexual was just too weird for me.

If you’ve listened to books by Megan Hart before, how does this one compare?

yes. i have enjoyed her other books more.

What would have made this romance irresistible?

if she wasn't sleeping with a dead guy

Deeper

This is my favorite Megan Hart book so far. I really liked the story. It really kept me interested. Loved how it ended.

Quintessential Hart

All Megan Harts books have deep emotion, often twisted from rough handling that she explores ruthlessly through sex, sensuality and love. Though some of her themes stem from the darker parts of the soul, this is the only one of her stories that is really sad, however. The fantasy aspect is believable, and almost more credible than the choices Bess eventually makes. Bess as an emotional doormat is too far fetched. Some of the mistakes are just not realistic. Andy is too awful and the other characters? Some of their actions are too shallow to keep the reader sympathetic. Maybe the fantasy is meant to be the real part.

Regardless, this book is quintessential Hart. She writes books so well that you cannot go wrong picking this up. I would not recommend this be your first novel to read. Strangers is my favorite. Dirty and Tempted are good too. Read them first.

I hope audible offers the Order of Solace books sometime, too.
