Braving the Deep End Kindle Edition

by Deanna Wadsworth (Author), Wendy Burke (Editor) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 out of 5 stars 71 ratings
State Trooper Mike Martin considers himself straight. Until the day he met the sexy southern charmer Beau Abernathy. Mike’s world froze the first time he saw Beau climb from the pool at his local gym, leaving him thunderstruck. He’s never experienced such lucid thoughts, or the chill of desire for another man—did this mean he was gay?
As their friendship grows, so does Mike’s concern. What if Beau kisses him and he doesn’t like it? Beau is too important to Mike to just be a sexual experiment. Worried if he’s even physically able to be intimate with a man—it’s one thing to imagine, but another to act on it—Mike enlists the help of Lady Phoebe a no-strings gay sex-ed lesson.
But Mike gets far more than he bargained for with his romantic weekend getaway. Will Mike be brave enough to face his desires and dive in the deep end, or will Beau’s dark secret destroy what they could become.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Deanna Wadsworth might be a bestselling erotica author, but she leads a pretty vanilla life in Ohio with her wonderful husband and a couple adorable cocker spaniels. She has been spinning tales and penning stories since childhood, and her first erotic novella was published in 2010. When she isn’t writing books or brainstorming with friends, you can find her making people gorgeous in a beauty salon. She loves music and dancing, and can often be seen hanging out on the sandbar in the muddy Maumee River or chilling with her hubby and a cocktail in their basement bar. In between all that fun, Deanna cherishes the quiet times when she can let her wildly active imagination have the full run of her mind. Her fascination with people and the interworkings of their relationships have always inspired her to write romance with spice and love without boundaries.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Just when it’s getting good, it gets better. Explicit M/M love story.
    Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2020

    This had all my favorite M/M romance features: straight to gay/bisexual, first time, older man, younger man, two buff guys and explicit. This is a standalone story within a group of stories revolving around the mysterious Madame Eve who helps people make connections by request.
    Trooper Mike Martin has been straight but not all that excited about his partners. One day at his gym a man comes out of the water and in slo-mo he sees a future he never expected! Mike is immediately attracted to Beau Abernathy who is 13 years older than him, taller and has a perfect swimmer’s body. Mike is 24yo, 5’8” of solid muscle, which is required as a State Trooper. Timing is everything…just when Mike thinks he may have a real attraction to someone, his former girlfriend advises that she is pregnant with his baby. I thought this would be a hurdle to get over but actually, works perfectly.
    Mike has a secret but Beau has a bigger one. Will their love be able to overcome the revelations? I love how the author resolved all the issues that I thought would ruin everything. This was an angsty, funny, sweet and wildly explicit M/M romance. I volunteered to review an ARC of this book through Gay Romance Reviews and is recommended if you like what I’ve said.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Secrets, revelations, and love
    Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2020

    Doesn't matter if this is a m/m or m/f book - if a story has secrets, revelations, love and ultimate acceptance - how can it NOT be good? Deanna Wadsworth has once again delivered an emotional, revealing tale with plenty of explicit sex. And although extremely descriptive- the story surrounding the physicality is just as well written and baring. Wadsworth never fails to deliver - in every new story, emotions are deeper, more revealing and at times, more painful (for the characters, NOT the reader) from the book before. Bravo! Looking forward to the next one!

There weekend opens up all kinds of feelings and passion there perfect for each other and if what Beaus working on doesn't ruin things they may have a future. But all his plans blow up in his face and his big secret comes out he has to fix things. This couple had so much passion and the twist thrown in i just New what was coming loved it. This is the first book I have read in the series now I need to read the others and figure out how Madame Eve dose her thing.

    I was allowed to read and advance copy of this book Via Booksprout and this is my honest review.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Bi Awakening Romance
    Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2020
    Mike is confused. He's been straight...or thought he was straight his whole life, but then he sees Beau at the pool. He feels such a pull for the older man, an attraction that he cannot deny and he's not sure what he should do about it. He decided to send a letter to Madam Eve (1Night Stand Agency) in order to get experience with being with a man before he acts on his desire for Beau. He wants Beau so much but he's not sure if the feelings are mutual and doesn't want to embarrass himself. Mike sets up his meeting with Marcus - his 1Night stand from Madam Eve. But now he has to decide if he can go through with the one night stand or he if should wait for the one person he really wants, Beau.

    This is told mostly in Mike's POV, but then half way through it shifts to Beau's and then kinda bounces around between both men. I wish it was more organized, in that I would like to see alternating chapters with different POV. Honestly, Beau's POV was abrupt and sudden. I appreciated it because it was great to know what he was thinking, but the beginning of the story was all Mike so I thought that was how the book was going to be laid out.

    I had a hard time getting into this book. It was like a cute bi-sexual awakening but I felt there was a little bit too much drama, especially with Mike's best-friend/ex(ish). I really didn't like her at all, she had such an attitude and you could understand where she was coming from, but she really was all about herself and didn't really care about Mike's feelings.

    A sweet story with a lot of heat and time spent on the bi-awakening journey along with supportive side characters and a little suspense.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Beau and Mike.

    Mike Martin 24 ogles Beau Abernathy 38 at the gym after seeing the water droplets cascading down his body as he immerses in the pool!

    Being rather confused Mike knows he needs to discover to a greater extent who he is!
    As he has only been with girls!

    Beau decides to have a relationship with Mike and their connection is certainly heating up.

    The story is written well, and the characters are easy to like.

    To watch their relationship grow with the secrets that both have can their relationship overcome the disclosing of these facts?
