[This is] A good mystery romance that keeps the reader guessing for most of the story. In Too Deep is rich with turmoil, and ties up all the loose ends. Maddie is a great mom, but a lousy wife. Until Jack McKenzie comes along. Only then does she comes to recognize it's not her, but her choice of husbands that has been lacking. Jack is a great hero. Not only is he good looking and athletic, but he's sensitive and explosive. He shows true emotions and Maddie, like the reader, falls madly in love with him.

 

Ms. Carter had done an excellent job with In Too Deep.  It is rare to find a hero as believable as Jack, and a heroine as true to life as Maddie.  Their trials are real life and their fears and anxieties something every reader can relate to. Ms. Carter's story is funny, touching, and poignant. A true pleasure from beginning to end.

 

Review by:  Rickey R. Mallory for Affaire de Coeur  ââââ½

Maddie Tyler has no idea what she’s setting in motion on the day she speaks to the man who was her first high school crush. Maddie is married, with a teenaged son, but her marriage is floundering, her heart is vulnerable, and Jack MacKenzie is by all accounts a wonderful man. Maddie’s husband wants a divorce, and Maddie realizes she doesn’t love him. Soon she’s falling in love with Jack. Her life is looking just about perfect. But life is not done with Maddie. Behind the scene, someone is watching, someone who has a vested interest in how Maddie’s life turns out.

Anne Carter writes competently about life and love. Her characters are real with flaws as well as heroic qualities. In Too Deep is Maddie’s story, and following her sometimes mundane, sometimes turbulent life, is fascinating.

 

Review by:  Kate Douglas, award winning author of HONEYSUCKLE ROSE and ON WINGS OF LOVE, and Kensington’s WOLF TALE series:

“A VERY enjoyable story, unique and thought-provoking.

IN TOO DEEP has so many unique and exciting twists and turns that I
couldn't turn my Rocket off until I knew how Anne Carter planned to solve
her heroine's dilemma! The characters are well-drawn and believable, the
story unlike any romance I've read. It leaves the reader with a smile and
the feeling that Jack McKenzie and Madelyn Cross were made for each other.
I would recommend this book to anyone in search of a satisfying,
warm-hearted romance. “

Maddie Tyler knows her marriage is in trouble, especially when she runs into her first crush, Jack McKenzie outside the tv studio. She can't get him out of her mind. When her husband walks out, presumably to go on another one of his rock climbing adventures, and her son calls Jack, Maddie turns to her old schoolmate as a friend. The only problem is Jack wants

more than just friendship from her. He finds out she is afraid to trust and he wants her body and soul. It's not until gifts arrive at her door, from a mysterious benefactor, that Maddie realizes how much Jack loves her. He flies her to Paris, and in his eyes, the end of their relationship. As the mystery unravels, Jack and Maddie grow up and grow wiser, finally coming to terms with their pasts.
