In Over Our Heads: An M/M Vacation Second Chance Romance (Stories from the Shore Book 2) Kindle Edition

by CJane Elliott (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.0 out of 5 stars 32 ratings
A second chance for romance on a scuba diving vacation plunges Anthony and Walter into deep waters--will they use love's lifeline or go under alone?

Party guy Anthony Vallen hits Key West with his friends, ready for some fun in the sun. To his horror, the owner of the local bar and scuba dive shop is former scientist and meticulous control freak Walter Elkins--the guy who broke his teenaged heart. Suddenly, Anthony's reasons for shunning romance no longer hold much water. But Walter has his own barriers to love, and whether he will come aboard remains to be seen.

Soon Anthony and Walter are in over their heads, their love as unstoppable as the hurricane they find themselves in the middle of. To prevent their fears from pulling them under, Anthony needs to get serious--about his worth and his heart's true desires, and Walter needs to trust--in himself, in fate, and in Anthony.

2nd book in Stories from the Shore Series.
Second Edition, revised and expanded.

4 Stars!!!
In Over Our Heads is book 2 in the Stories From the Shore series, while it can technically be read as a standalone, I suggest reading All the Way to the Shore first because Jonathan and Marco are featured prominently there and we meet Anthony there as well.
Overall, the book is great, fun and delightful, and ... I found the story very enjoyable. Recommendable!- Bayou Book JunkieIn Over Our Heads is a fun read, and I liked Walter and Anthony, as well as the secondary characters and I'm hoping we get another installment of the series featuring Walter's brother Miles.- Sinfully Good Book ReviewsI'm increasing my star rating to a 4 ... if you've read this book before, you might want to try this revised version.

    “I voluntarily reviewed this after receiving a free copy.” Walter is a new character but There are 4 other characters we met in the first book of the series. Anthony never expected to see Walter again. His one and only love who broke hi young heart. Walter also broke his own heart but he thought he was doing the right thing for Anthony. The way these 2 got back together is a slow and beautiful process. There is so much romance and Walter's need to make sure Anthony stays safe is still right there. Anthony works out that he has to be patient. He loves Walter and knows Walter loves him so the story has to bring them together. Like I said, I really liked it.

    Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2020

    Walter and Anthony’s story was not what I was expecting. It was a long lost love story with lots of past baggage to deal with and fear to overcome. I enjoyed these two but it wasn’t as strong a connection as the previous story in the series. It was hard to see why they fit together. It got better towards the end and I enjoyed it. It just didn’t feel quite as good as I had hoped.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Another quick fun read from this author
    Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2020

    Second in the series, this book continues the story of the Vallen cousins with Anthony’s story. A second chance love story, this book follows the reunion and reunification of Anthony and Walter, a pair who were young lovers before a tragic accident tore them apart.

    This book is a quick, easy read with fun characters and humorous antics. While this one contains more twists and turns than the first book, it still is basically a boy meets boy again and they realize they are still in love.

    This review is written as an honest and unbiased reflection of my thoughts after reading an Advanced Reader’s Copy. Any mistakes in details are my own.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Unlikeable characters.
    Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2020
    Format: Kindle
    While the blurb and the concept of having a second chance was intriguing, the characters, both Anthony and Walter, grated on my nerves. There were a lot of cliches scattered throughout the book, especially in the first chapter as Anthony was describing the resort and the bar they were at, but ultimately it was the relationship between Anthony and Walter that put me off. Walter had nothing likeable about him and the way he treated Anthony was appalling. When Anthony started standing up for himself, I cheered for him, but I couldn't understand why he was hung up on Walter in the first place. And that, in a romance book, is a death knell. Sad to say, this wasn't a book for me.

    In over Our Heads is a second-chance MM romance with a HEA. Part of a series but still readable as a standalone.

    Extroverted Anthony is on a vacation with his cousin Jonathan, Jonny's partner Marco, and Marco's sister Sophia. Anthony is a romantic himself. They happen to land where Walter, the introverted scientist type with a tragedy background turned into an bar owner holds fort keeping a diving business and a bar. It just happens to be that Walter and Anthony used to be an item for a year when they were young at school. The couple meets first time after a dozen years spent apart. Apart after Anthony near-drowned and Walter took a runner for reasons mysterious to Anthony leaving him abandoned, baffled, devasteted.

    Anthony the dreamer and Walter the earth-bound realist.

    Key West ...

    I like this. The side characters do a lot, they fit in for me, and in this story they don't confuse me. It's fun when Anthony is a known matchmaker but his cousin started turning tables on him. :)
    I think though there's angst it is also fun to read. It was fun to read about the lessons in general. It was also touching to read about it when the one learning was struggling, with a background,trying to overcome it all for himself.

    Also dramatic feels like that moment when Walter first let out "I couldn't stand to lose you again" came so of the blue though despite him having been so withdrawn and despite that he clamps up again right after that. But he got THAT out. Silent but where it counts - at least this time around!

    “We’re gonna love each other until all the stars explode, and so does the Earth, and we’ll return to our beginnings.”

    Now that is romance.

    I loved this second book in the series! I haven’t read a lot of books with scuba diving in it, so I found this book very interesting. I love second chance romances, so of course I absolutely loved this one as well! CJane did an amazing job once again!

    I received an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.

    4.0 out of 5 stars 2nd chance to get it right
    Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2020

    This is book two in the series. Even though it can be read as a stand alone, it would enhance your experience if you read book one first. We get to catch up with Jonathan and Marco a bit in this book, which was lovely, since I really loved their story! Coming from reading that book, to this one, I can see a bit of a change with how it left me feeling. While I LOVED book one, I liked this book. That said, I’m glad I read it. Anthony was a hoot in book one. He can be a bit much sometimes, but he has a heart of gold hidden behind his persona. He just wants someone to live him like Marco loves Jonathan. Don’t we all, though? This is a second chance romance, with a bit of a Grumpy Gus vs Eternal Sunshine as well. It was good to get a deeper look into the phenomenon that is Anthony Vallen. This is another lighthearted love story, with a HEA. The only angst was named Walter and his grumpy self.
