Description
A competitive diver and an ace swimmer jump into forbidden waters in this steamy college romance from the New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis.
Scarlett Vandermeer is swimming upstream. A Junior at Stanford and a student-athlete who specializes in platform diving, Scarlett prefers to keep her head down, concentrating on getting into med school and on recovering from the injury that almost ended her career. She has no time for relationships—at least, that’s what she tells herself.
Swim captain, world champion, all-around aquatics golden boy, Lukas Blomqvist thrives on discipline. It’s how he wins gold medals and breaks records: complete focus, with every stroke. On the surface, Lukas and Scarlett have nothing in common. Until a well-guarded secret slips out, and everything changes.
So they start an arrangement. And as the pressure leading to the Olympics heats up, so does their relationship. It was supposed to be just a temporary, mutually satisfying fling. But when staying away from Lukas becomes impossible, Scarlett realizes that her heart might be treading into dangerous water...

Everyone deserves a Swede
5By HazelnuttiffLoved this book and the evolving relationship between the two. Everyone deserves a Lukas at least once in a lifetime if not forever!Great mix
5By asfh2754She did a great job with mixing in hot moments with a deep story line unpacking past experiences in coming of age type novelSo so good
5By HaileyyshayJust wow. One of my favorite books of all time.It was good
4By matsuricosHonestly, this isn't my favorite Ali Hazelwood book. I preferred her other works. I've lost count of how many times I dozed off while reading it. Still, the story is good, it's just missing something.Love it
5By GabHMExcellent!!! I love itLove ALLLL Ali Hazelwood books
5By Crazy quickdrawThe story and characters are great!! I love falling in love. If you are turned off by spicy scenes and sub/dom stories, parts of this story aren’t for you. But, the science and medical nerd in me loves how smart Ali writes, and her stories/characters are very well written. I’m always sad when I finish her books; I always wish I could read them again (for the first time), Deep End is no exception.Almost perfect

5By DreamfargrrlI love most of Ali Hazelwood’s books but this is my favorite. I’ve already re-read it. Set in college but main characters are mature and lovable. I loved the exploration of kink/BDSM in the story. Very well done and sexy.Phenomenal

5By kamichamGreat dialogue. Witty observations and fast comebacks. I thoroughly enjoyed it.All her books are wonderful but....
5By Eagle River ReagerThis book is special. It draws you into a different world of NCAA D1 athletics and delves into many relationships...friendships, teammates, mentors and most importantly, the relationship we have with ourselves and our bodies.Dove in deep
4By MdicjeoshsidbCouldn’t put it down!! Sometimes the s** scenes were a bit much for me, but love the main character’s sense of humor, the plot and the cohesiven ending.If Ali Hazelwood has no fans, I am dead.

5By GB MamiI had heard that this book was going to be a little different than her others, and it is, but it is still, shiningly Ali. Her characters are complex and beautiful.
