Digging Deeper: Interlocking Fragments II Kindle Edition
Gavin thinks his best friend’s brother is grumpy and straight... or is he?
Hendrix~
One minute, I’m on patrol with my partner. The next, I’m waking up after being in a coma for weeks and my whole world has changed. On the bright side, my twin brother tells me he’s moving home after being gone for almost ten years, and I couldn’t be happier. Plus, I woke up. That’s definitely a positive. On the other hand, they don’t know if I’ll ever walk again, my brother’s dating my best friend, and I’m starting to obsess about my brother’s best friend … yeah, like that’s not a disaster waiting to happen. How’s my brother going to feel if I admit I’m bisexual after all these years? After watching him struggle alone?
And am I really thinking about Gavin, the man I’ve resented for keeping my brother away all these years? But I can’t take my eyes off of him, especially when his brown eyes seem so sad and haunted.
Gavin~
Following my best friend to Baltimore was an easy decision since he’s the only family I have, and finding a physical therapist job was a bonus. But now I’m afraid of being a burden to him and his new boyfriend, so I’ve been keeping to myself. The loneliness is seeping back in, and the person that’s been helping is the last one I’d expect. Hendrix has always hated me, but the more I help him recover, the more of him shines through, and I begin seeing him in a different light. He’s always been my best friend’s grumpy, twin brother, but now he’s the straight guy I can’t stop thinking about, the one I can’t stop checking out, and the one I can’t have. Not that I even want anyone after everything—my baggage is too heavy for even me to deal with, let alone someone else… but that doesn’t stop me from daydreaming about him.
With Hendrix harboring family secrets, and Gavin’s painful past still bleeding like an open wound, can these two men find a way to help each other dig deeper? Or will they hide from their truths and forsake the potential staring them right in the face?
Digging Deeper is the second book in the Interlocking Fragments series. It’s a standalone novel, but is better enjoyed by reading the series in order. Each book in the series will feature a different couple, but the couples will show up throughout the whole series. This is a contemporary romance intended for 18+.

About the authors
Michele is married to an awesome guy that puts up with her and all the burnt dinners she makes—hey, sometimes characters are a bit distracting, and who doesn’t plot when they’re supposed to be cooking? They live together in Baltimore, Maryland with two little monsters, a three-legged princess, a four-legged goofball, and a cutie with giant ears (aka their two kids, their two cats, and their dog). She hopes to rescue another cat soon, and if her hubby wouldn’t kill her, she’d get more than one… and maybe a few more dogs as well.
She loves creating worlds filled with lots of love, chosen family, and of course, magic, but she also likes making the characters fight for that happy ending. She hopes to one day write all the stories in her head—even if there are too many to count!

Sammi Cee was raised in a family of readers. Summer vacations consisted of a good book while sitting lakeside from as far back as she could remember. After growing up and having her own children, her appreciation of how the written word could transport you on an adventure, bring you to tears, or give you hope, took on a whole new meaning.
These days Sammi is watching her children develop into fine young ladies while doing the things she enjoys most: drinking coffee, eating chocolate, and writing her own stories.

- Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2020I'll same the same as I did the first book. So long in spots it shouldn't be. But at least this time the long spots felt a little more organic and less take your timey. The only other annoying/somewhat cute thing to point out was the whole plastic spiders it was a somewhat cute thing Gavin did but if I was Hendrix it would have made me more pissy then being funny so he's a better sport then me on that level. I was in love with the dogs as soon as they mentioned them (being a pitty lover my self) and knew they had to get both. So glad they did. I flat out loved Hendrix from book one and he made me continue in this one he's such a wonderful guy. Gavin I knew it felt a bit whiny and dramatic in the first book and it carried over into this one. Don't get me wrong my heart broke for his back story but. He can't lay that on anyone's feet without them knowing it and expect change. And Holden made me mad too he totally accused his brother of using his friend without even asking what happened. I'm mean I get he has loyalty on both sides but he flat chose in that moment and desided his brother (his own flesh and blood) was the enemy and that just doesn't sit well with me. Given the devotion he had to him in the first book and the way they kept announcing through this book that he came back specifically to be with Hendrix and nothing else. That fact aside it is a good story in its self and well written and I will be reading and reviewing the next book or books in this series.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2020This was an emotional story. Between Hendrix learning to walk and finding a way to love a man he was always jealous of because Gavin was his twin brother best friend. Gavin was a PT therapist and fall in love with the man that was not only his patient and his best friend town brother. Gavin has his own baggage that he needs to work out. Wonderful reading and can't wait for the next book in this series.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2022Well written story and well developed characters! You have to read these books in the correct order for the best possible experience! They are Great!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2023Since Gavin and Drix were introduced I needed their HEA. I loved Drix and his grumpiness. Gavin was so broken… but there were times that I wanted him to stand on his own. There were times that I wish were just mentions and there were some things that were kind of glossed over that should’ve been explained. All in all I loved it. I’m anxious to read Aiden’s book. I’m thinking he’s going to be my favorite.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2022It’s a great story about loss and love and learning to trust and love again. These authors are so good at what they do I was on the edge of my metaphorical seat at times but everything turns out ok.
One think I really like about these authors is that even when there is drama there’s usually a pretty quick HEALTHY resolution to said drama.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2019Such a great story. I loved getting to read Hendrix and Gavin's journey. The struggles, triumphs, sexy times, growth and closeness . Watching the relationships with Jameson , Holds, Aiden , Gavin and Hendrix evolve was wonderful as well.
I had a prediction about Adien's story that is next. If I am correct, its going to be another great read!
- Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2021Hendrix and Gavin's story is heartbreaking and triumphant. They go through so much to get their HEA and I felt all the feels.
I wanted to smack Hendrix so many times in the beginning! Gavin has the patience of a saint and was the perfect PT to get Hendrix motivated.
Gavin's backstory wrecked me. Omg! I wanted to shower him with all the love. I'm glad he had Hendrix there to help him heal. I definitely recommend this story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just beautiful.
Oh so many levels of emotion and feelings to unpack in this story. I don't know where to start. From a near fatal shooting, comes love and acceptance. Gavin and Hendrix were beautiful together once Hendrix finally admitted to himself that it was ok to be with his brothers best friend. And Gavin, such a tragic past. I'm so happy that worked it out. The relationships between all the characters are complex and there were a lot of deep and meaningful scenes to repair past hurts. Brilliantly written.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great growing love
I loved this story since page 1... seeing how those two manage to overcome their fears, how they come to bound and match and how well the other characters are playing important roles on their story... Great book! Can't wait for Aiden's and.... story 😉
- Hayley SmithReviewed in the United Kingdom on November 21, 2019
5.0 out of 5 stars Great book!
Digging deeper can be read as a standalone but I loved it all the more for reading Heart Strain first (So if you haven't read that yet, please do it's great!)
I loved Hendrix and Gavin, individually they showed such strength moving forwards after life changing events, but together they helped the other to heal. Nothing felt rushed in this book, it flowed perfectly for me and I really cared about what happened to them.
I can't wait to read the next book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Interlocking fragments 2
Although I’ve read that these can be read as stand alone I really do think they should be read in order and I really enjoyed this continuing story arc and look forward to reading the next
- LiashReviewed in Australia on October 9, 2020
4.0 out of 5 stars Great read
After enjoying book 1, I was looking forward to having Hendrix's story and getting his POV. Told again in alternating POV, we see Hendrix struggling with his injury and lashing out at everyone around him. Enter Gavin - Holden's best friend and Hebdrix's new Physical Therapist. When Hendrix hasn't responded to any other therapist, Gavin challenges him in a completely different way, pushing him to not give up and helping him to find the fight inside him.
I enjoyed watching these two engage and challenge each other. They were well matched, and the chemistry, but also love and tenderness, between them was palpable. This book also gives us Hendrix's POV from when he and Holden were growing up - stories we got in the first book from Holden, now with a very different spin on it. More truths come out and the brothers finally break down all the walls between them. We also get Gavin's past revealed - why he is so broken and seemingly fragile at times. It was a little heartbreaking to read.
I can't wait to read Aiden's story, but also hope we find out what is going on with Jameson's brother, Jovany. There is definitely a story there! This is a book and series that I would recommend.
