Going deep: In football it means running down the field for a long pass. You’re serious. Committed. Unstoppable. As a wide receiver, it’s a term I’m all too familiar with. It’s who I am, at least when it comes to my career. For the past decade, football has been the only thing I’ve allowed myself to commit to. That is until a beautiful, blue-eyed temptress steps into my limo to escort me to a charity function. She’s strong, independent, and quick witted. Everything I want in a woman. There’s just one problem. She’s not mine for the taking. But that’s not going to stop me from winning her heart. I’m in deep with this woman. I’m running down the field with my arms and heart open, ready for the catch. Now all I need is for her to throw the ball. *Standalone enemies to lovers football romance*

Editorial Reviews

Review

Nikki Ash is absolutely KILLING ME with this series. I have the mother of all book hangovers after finishing Going Deep. There is just no way you can pull my brain out of this Killian and Giselle obsessed trap now. -Brittany Franks, Red Hatter Book Blog

Hooked from page one! I think this is the most emotionally invested I've ever been in one of Nikki's books... My heart was in it with these two the entire way!--Allyson, Goodreads reviewer

Going Deep was an unexpected surprise. I went in thinking it would be a light read, but I was so wrong. It was emotional, unputdownable, and so much more! Words can't express how much I loved this book. I was hooked and read it all in one sitting.--Lily, Lily's Reviews

Going Deep was phenomenal! An honest to goodness, heart pumping romance. It is the second book in the Imperfect Love series. If I thought the first book was amazing, this one blew it out of the park. -Up All Night with Books Blog

Going Deep was so much more than your average romance. Ash created two perfectly broken characters filled with depth of emotion that you can't help but fall hard and fast for. -Emily Goodman, Southern Vixen Book Blog

Be prepared to fall in love with Going Deep!!
Nikki Ash has managed to write one of my favorite books so far this year. When a book makes you cry happy tears several times you know it's a good one. -Stacie, Goodreads reviewer

Author Nikki Ash delivers a book that is gripping, unputdownable, and a roller coaster ride of emotions. Expect beautifully broken characters, strong connections, sizzling chemistry, and a love you won't forget.--Sara, Goodreads reviewer

Love this Series!!!
**ARC REVIEW**Love this Series!! Wow Giselle's story was so unexpected!! It was a total 360 for me. I thought I had a good glimpse of her in Book 1, I was totally wrong. In a good shocking way!!Giselle is struggling... She's having major issues with her mom's health situation, Younger Sister attending college and Father MIA... She's having to take on the burden of her family and at the same time keep a veil on so no one in her inner circles know exactly what's going on. Especially her BFF. Juggling all the home expenses and her personal expenses lead her to unexpected territories she must sacrifice for.Oh my dear Killian!!! Talk about being such a jerk at times! It's like a defense mechanism with him! Jeez he can be brutal. He's going through his own secrets and keeping his inner circle at bay. He has gotten small glimpses of Giselle's situation but has no idea the real truth!After several unexpected meet ups, Killian and Giselle begin to start something that either one of them expected will end well. The problem with Secrets, they always come to light! "I'm serious. Committed. There's no stopping what I feel for you. I'm running down the field to catch the ball. I just need you to throw it."Giselle and Killian will not disappoint!

Killian and Giselle's relationship grew so beautifully throughout this story!
I love that they fixed the broken parts in each other over time and helped each other heal from their pasts.
Beautiful love story that's one of my favorites for this year and the audiobook version just enhanced it that much more!

First off I'd like to say that the city I live in made it into a book. I was super excited. I live in Charlotte, NC. It was such a nice surprise. I actually know where the Ritz Carlton is. Haha.

Ok, I'll start with the negatives, well actually it's just one... Giselle sleeping with other men. I can accept the fact that she wanted to do it all on her own but becoming an escort just bothered me. She was having sex for money and that actually lost points with me. I can see her being a companion for money but not having sex. That kinda grossed me out. It actually brought my review down from a 5 to a 4. I hate it when the H or the h have sex especially when they've already been together.

So now for the positives. I fell love with Killian. He was the nicest guy. He actually waited 10 years to be with a woman because his high school sweetheart broke his heart. That says a lot about the man and his intentions. He was waiting for that someone to make him whole. To unbreak him. He found that in Giselle. And the lengths he went through to get her was phenomenal. I loved their relationship, especially after Giselle quit being an escort. "Because when you're around I don't feel so broken or lonely". Talk about swoon worthy. I loved their chemistry. I loved this story. It actually put things into perspective. My mother could be diagnosed as bi-polar but she doesn't meet the qualifications 100%. But I understand the mood swings. The extreme highs and lows. I understand the screaming. The hate. The fear. I went through it growing up. It's probably the main reason my mother and I do not get along. We see the world differently.

But this ended up being a really great read. After getting past the whole escort issue. I was so into their relationship. I throughly enjoyed their intimate moments, their interactions. I had a great time reading this book.

OMG Giselle and Killians histories broke my heart. I love that these two got together and I was hoping for since meeting them in Olivia and Nicks story. They’re literally made for each other and you can’t help falling in love with them. I seriously couldn’t put their story down and I stayed up late reading just to immediately wake up and have the need to continue reading. Can’t wait for Celeste and Jase’s story next!

Oh Killian, in the beginning I just wanted to slap you, then gag you, but when you finally opened your eyes the openness you showed Giselle was beautiful. Sometimes peoples biased opinions get in the way and this book did a good job at showing how people change. I loved every bit of this story.

Read this book in one sitting.

This is the story of Killian and Giselle who meet through their best friends who are dating each other. Killian plays for an NFL team in New York while Giselle has studied interior design in Paris and is back in NYC on an internship. She has lots of financial responsibility for her sister as well as her mom who is battling a mental illness. She also has to take up an escorts job (with paid sex) in order to fill that gap in medical expenses.

Killian at first has misjudged her but then once he gets to know her and sees how much struggle she is going through it softens him up and he decides to truly try to understand her.

It was a very interesting story and I appreciate how her mom's mental illness was handled.

Yesterday I read the first book in this series and I didn’t connect to it as much as I wanted to but decided to continue with the series and I’m so glad I did because I loved this one!!
Killian and Giselle definitely did not like each other- they both had preconceived notion’s they had to get past. Giselle had the weight of the world on her shoulders- she was taking care of everyone in her life and didn’t want to accept help or be more of a burden to her friend (though Olivia wouldn’t consider her a burden). She has resorted to work at an escort service to make ends meet- though she was still struggling.
After Killian got through her tough exterior he was able to see just how genuine, strong, and beautifully broken she was. He wanted to help support her but she had a hard time accepting it at first. He had his rude moments in the beginning but he truly was a cinnamon roll for her.
I really enjoyed the progression of the story, just the right amount of angst. So many swoon worthy moments and delicious steamy scenes.
I’m excited to get a peak inside Celeste’s head because she’s been a tough one to root for so far.

These two start of as sort of enemies but mostly just didn’t fully understand each other.

Once they open up their vaults to each other they fall head over heels so fast.

Killian is such a caretaker and he just swoops in and helps Giselle find her way ❤️❤️

I loved their story so much. Two broken souls helping each other heal from their last trauma while living their best broken lives together ❤️❤️

This story is all about being broken and lonely together. Loved the concept and its written beautifully. Killian and Giselle both had issues but they faced their fears and lived happily ever after.
I just wish there was an epilogue of sort.

Reviewed in Spain on April 27, 2020

Killian y Giselle me encantan. Ambos rotos, él por lo pasado en la universidad con su novia y ella por todo lo que tiene que hacer para proveer por su familia.
Giselle es la que más se resiste al principio, pero Killian es verdad que no siempre hace y dice las cosas de la manera más adecuada.
Killian le pide que se sientan solos juntos, y es que ambos llevan una doble vida. Ella con sus trabajos y el con su vida sentimental, mientras todo el mundo piensan que una mujer distinta está en su cama cada noche, la verdad es que lleva 10 años sin tener sexo. Y cuando se entrega a Giselle es precioso,sexy y lleno de sentimiento.
Os lo recomiendo.

Gods, Nikki Ash just keeps getting better with this series.
Giselle and Killian were just perfect for each other.

Going Deep is the second book in the Imperfect Love series and it’s got me itching for more. After The Pickup I didn’t think this series could have me any more invested but boyza, was I proved wrong!!

The lengths that Killian went to to show Giselle that he saw ‘her’ and not all her issues was wonderful and you could slowly see her begin to start seeing herself, and him, differently.

A without doubt 5* read. I cannot wait for the next instalment to see what’s going on with Celeste!!!

Giselle is a interesting FMC, it touches on her mothers mental health issues and the struggles she had growing up with such instability.
Killian is a hunk of a sportsman who has completely fallen for Giselle.I loved how they overcome their traumatic past.
Overall a lovely book that really pulls at your heart strings.

For the majority of the story the characters didn’t resonate with me. Giselle is loving with those who know her deep down but for some reason Killian brings out the worst in her. Really, the same goes for Killian. He a judgemental jerk to her and most people until gets to know them. When they finally are together she’s constantly pushing hard on the breaks or trying to push him away thinking she k owes what’s best for him. There isn’t a third act breakup or OW drama thank goodness.
