DEEP: An Erotic Military Romance (DEEP, Book 1) Kindle Edition
The more lines they cross, the deeper they get…
Top cadet Lana Marsden lives by the rules.
The most important rule of all: no messing around with an officer.
She learned that one the hard way.
Now her only desire is to survive the grueling DEEP Training program and leave her scandalous past behind.
When she reports to Station Six amid wild rumors of erotic hazing rituals and sadomasochistic games, she’s not prepared for any of the rumors to be true—or for her insatiable attraction to Sergeant “Catch” Durant, her tattooed rebel of a trainer.
One touch from Catch, and Lana knows she’s in trouble.
One night of white-hot ecstasy, and the rules melt away...
A cadet with a secret.
An officer with a secret kink.
A whole lot of rules to be broken.

- Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2018have read many erotica, few of them BDSM because I never got into that style. This book was interesting though. Catch was the catch for me. He was so vulnerable. I wanted more of his story actually. This is the fifth book I've read from this author and she definitely has a way of writing complex and intriguing men. I honestly don't know why spanking and pain is a thing. I grew up getting a sweet cut a$$ for crap I did so the idea of that being pleasurable is a foreign concept for me. I understand a little rough play but to each his/her own.
We are in outer space and all the rules a being broken behind closed doors or without care. Love it. Makes for a titillating story.
Lana was a confused individual. She needed time to figure herself out. After a certain point I wouldn't have pursued the relationship or whatever you want to call it. There is a point at which i think a person has no self respect when they are into S & M. The things you allow a person to do and what you do to them goes way beyond loving intimacy for me. It goes back to me not fully understanding what the real draw to this lifestyle is actually. Be that as it may I was damn hooked on wanting to finish this book.
I wanted Lana to truly develop some backbone and when she did it was splendid. Peanut effing butter! Catch needed to get his shit together and start respecting that there are limits and if you are in something with someone before you make decisions you need to consult them about it first. Adam was annoying as ever but in a good way.
If you want a book to turn into a movie this is it. Not the filth that is 50 shades. Jaine Diamond is a much superior writer and her language use does not leave you cringing
- Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2019There's a lot of soft dominance, a lot of sexual playfulness which I liked. But overall the story developed too slowly for my taste. The sci-fi part is nothing special either. It's a nice read when bored but probably not my favorite book.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2019I am so very happy I found this book. I was worried this was going to be another one of those cheesy, shallow books. It wasn’t! I loved absolutely everything about this book! I loved all the characters. Lana and Catch were great together! I found myself cheering for them. I wanted them to make it. I could literally feel Lana’s frustration at a certain situation throughout the book. I felt like I understood the motivation to their actions toward one another. I loved the way it all played out. This ends on a huge cliffhanger though! Be warned because just like me you’re gonna need to get the second book DEEPEER right away to continue the story. Both books are absolutely worth the read.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2017Holy sh*t! DEEP & DEEPER got me sucked right in that I lost a lot of sleep on work nights. Read both together in four days and was disappointed that there wasn't a third book... I NEED MY FIX! I do so hope there will be a third... I'm still hung up on this character named Hilt. These books was very erotic with a great story & characters. I didn't even get weirded out with the scenes like some books that I had to literally stop reading it. I looked into your website to see if there were next in future but did not see any... which I hope you do, if not... thank you for these fine gems. I've been recommending these book to my "Book Club" at work. I'll will post this on Amazon as well <3
- Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2023This one dives deep into the submissiveness and domination of a relationship. It takes place in space, but don't discount this as any sort of science fiction. Lena and Cat h have that instant attraction I crave. And way more self discipline then I could ever have. Slow burn to the max. But also stupid hot. Had a hard time grasping where it was going... On to the second book it appears.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2021I love Jaine Diamond's Dirty Series and when I found out that she wrote a Space Military Romance, I needed to read it. I was enthralled by page 1 with Catch & Lana and the other characters in the books. The story kept me intrigued and I couldn't put it down. Catch is trying to heal himself from his past but doesn't know Lana is what He needs to make himself whole. Lana is trying to find her independence but doesn't realize she needs Catch to take care of her. It ends on a cliffhanger and Immediately had to start book 2.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2023I feel like I should start by saying that Jaime Diamond’s Dirty series & Players series are some of my all-time favorite books. I’ve read them over & over again & bought the audio versions of the ones which are available, too. I absolutely LOVE them!
I guess I hoped to feel the same connection to the characters in this book that I do in those. I didn’t. At all. I just wasn’t into the story and wasn’t particularly into the characters. I AM curious enough about Catch & Lana to read the next book—but just barely.
Maybe if the whole BDSM & mind game thing was more interesting to me I’d have liked it more? But I just never really got into this book. 😕

4.0 out of 5 stars Catching
Pun intended lol
This was great
Although it disturbed me a little bit, I thinks that’s just because there was so much room for the characters to grow (and because I’m not used to this type of reading lol but getting there)
Author is amazing, makes you feel all the feels even tho the book is in third person
- Amazon CustomerReviewed in Canada on December 3, 2015
5.0 out of 5 stars Yes!
I've never been a huge fan of the erotica genre, but I think after reading DEEP, I may have a new-found interest!
This is a sexy, easy read.
One word of caution: Unless you want to explain the flushed and guilty look on your face, maybe don't read this at work on your lunch break!
- KJLReviewed in the United Kingdom on September 4, 2020
5.0 out of 5 stars Great author
This is the 1st book of 2 in this series and was an enjoyable read. Couldn't wait to read the 2nd one and find out what happened to the characters. I love all Jaine Diamond's books, especially her "Dirty" and "Players" series. Very well written and I often feel as though I am actually there when reading them. Often wish I was. 😉

- Carla MMReviewed in the United Kingdom on May 21, 2020
4.0 out of 5 stars 50shades in space
This is a difficult one for me to review because essentially I just don't understand this type of Kink. I found myself stuck on how to rate this this book because essentially I didn't really like it, but let me be very very clear. It is not the books fault. The book is very clear on what its target audience should be. The description and the cover state clearly what you are going to read...and if that isnt enough... it plainly tells you its Military Erotica. So why, if this isn't my thing... did I decide to read it? Because I've read all her other books and her fans said that it's a must read. Unfortunately in this one case I really should have known this wouldn't be my thing.
This book has a bondage theme and so if you like 50Shades of grey you will love this, because in my opinion these characters are infinitely more likeable and the book 100% better written. I absolutely hated 50 shades. It's a harsh statement, I know, but I really did and I'm probably one of the few that got as far as 3/4 way through the last book and just stopped reading. I still don't know how it ends... and honestly, I really dont care... by then it was boring and repetitive and considering I had no affection towards the to main characters I really couldn't make me self care enough to read another word.
Now if my comments above upset you and you enjoy a mild Sci-fi setting, then this book is probably perfect for you
The book is written by an Author that I like and as such is well written.
The characters are well fleshed out and some scenes very emotionally charged. Considering this all takes place on a "training camp" The journey is more of an emotional one than physical one for the characters.
Unfortunately I just don't understand the fascination of a submissive/Dominant relationship and as such really couldn't get past that.
But now that leaves me in a bit of a pickle because how do you review a book you dont like for personal reasons? Because in the end I myself rely on reviews to help guide my book choices and really dislike reviewers that poorly rate a book for simply not being their type of book. Saying a book is bad, simply because you didn't enjoy it is wrong. Especially if you delve into a book that clearly isn't your taste. So I'm breaking it up in categories and rating it that way.
So I tried to be as fair as possible
1. Packaging. The book is exactly what it advertises to be. The cover and description tells and shows you clearly what you are gonna get.
2. Writing. It's well written. I was to busy reading to pick up any real issues. I think there was maybe one typo?
3. Characters. The main character are likeable and I can see readers forming attachments to them. They are well described and you get a reall feel for who they are.
4.plot. simple straightforward plot. But not boring at all. You want to know what happens next.
5. Engaging. Yes so much so that I'm sitting here wondering if I should read the next one.... eventhough I KNOW it's likely not going to be my thing... I kind of want to know how it all ends
So this really wasn't my thing, and overall I really dont get why you would ever treat someone you care about the way these two do. I found a lot of the intimate scenes distasteful. I have to respect the fact the author intrigued me and got me curious enough to consider to read another book that is clearly all about a kink I really don't understand, simply on the strength of the characters emotional journey....
So here I am giving 4 stars to a book I didn't like.
Lastly If you read my review and decide this book isnt for you, please don't discount the Authors other work. I encourage you to look at her Rockstar Romance ( The Dirty series). Hot Romance without the kink, yet still plenty spicy!
