Description
Another sweet & steamy read from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Skye Jordan!
Some women want roses and I love yous. I want hot guys and great sex.
Maybe I've absorbed too much testosterone employed in the male dominated world of mechanics, but, I'm no longer working on a cruise ship with sexy men around every corner. I'm building a business with my two best friends in a small town where reputation is everything.
In just six months, I'll be able to take my money and run--straight back to the sea. Only this time I'll have my own sailboat, choose my own destinations, and live by my own rules.
When I meet Dr. Delicious over stitches, we've got instant heat, but he comes with major drawbacks, starting with an affinity for dating and ending with his status as a single dad.
Before I know it, I'm putting together a frilly "dream bed" for Christmas and teaching his oldest to repair a carburetor.
Dr. Delicious is the very definition of commitment, and falling for him is a non-negotiable no way.
Too bad my heart hasn’t gotten that memo.

ARC received for review
Great second book which lots of angst and HOT sex. This book picks up at the end of the first book, but it is a stand alone so no worries if you didn't read the first one.
Ben and KT had lots of waves, mostly of their own making, to get over. Yes, we find out what her initials stand for, and it's really not the bad. Loved his kids, they were great. Beautiful epilogue.
Now I can't wait to see if Chloe hooks up with her hot cop or someone else.
I really enjoyed that the female lead was strong, confident, and working in a primarily male-dominated field. The ending wasn't the typical one I was expecting. Bravo in making an awesome female character!
Kindly received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Great book! I didn’t realize that it was book two in a series but it can be read stand alone . However it was so good I went a read the book 1 too. Now I can’t wait to see what happens in next book.
Love the characters. The writing style keeps you captivated and invested in the characters. This author is now a one click purchase for me for all future books.
I've been waiting for this book! Although it seems much different from the first book to me, which the first book was my favorite book yet this year! This book was good but not as good as the first for me! But that's not saying much because I loved the first! This book was really really good just not as good as the first ! Don't get me wrong this book is so worth reading!! It was very good! It was hot, the storyline flowed smoothly and had some heartache and heartbreak! Not much suspense or action but just a great little light read! Definitely don't miss out on this book and series! Thank you NetGalley and the publishers for sharing this book with me!
Skye Jordan is a masterful storyteller, writing about female characters that you can relate too. Her second book in her Wildfire Lake series follows a strong hero with an even stronger heroine. It delves into dreams and priorities and how combining both can bring happily ever after. You will fall in love with the secondary characters that provide the backdrop to all that’s important: family, love, friendship. You won’t want to put it down.
Skye Jordan brings us to Wildfire Lake in central California where three friends are reunited seven and a half years after going through a harrowing experience in the South Pacific waters at a spiritual retreat. We meet KT, a marine engineer who travels through life on her houseboat going from one adventure to the next. Chloe, Laiyla, and KT are all invested in building a marina there. While Chloe and Laiyla are more settled with life there, KT is looking for a good time until the waves beckon her again. She sees a good time when she ends up in the ER and finds the good looking doctor stitching up her arm. Ben has moved with his three girls to be closer to his mom and sister. He finds KT intriguing instantly. As they get closer together, they each must figure out what is important and how to maneuver between what they each want out of life.
Skye Jordan brings us a story filled with family and love. Will KT and Ben be able to get past their personal hurdles to make a life together, or will their individuality be what drives them apart? Skye brings us along as Ben and KT learn more about each other and the importance of love and family.
I have enjoyed KT and Ben's story. I look forward to the next adventure with Skye Jordan. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I would like to thank NetGalley and Cygnet Books for this privilege.
Loved this story so much! Skye is an amazing storyteller and this book has all the feels! We met KT in book one and knew she was going to be oh so sassy! Her and Ben are perfect together and I love their happy ending:). I can’t wait for Chloe’s story ❤️
Going Under has much to offer. Hidden inside the slow burn of a beautiful romance are many important life lessons. Lessons of love. Lessons of loss. Lessons of hope. Jordan has a way of removing the blinders that tend to get in the way of the more important things. Ben and KT are a reminder that a person is stronger than ever they realize. With laughter, patience and an open heart, we can accomplish anything. All we need is a chance to try. Going Under is a life lesson worth learning.
Welcome back to Wildfire Lake! After finishing the first book I wasn't sure the author would be able to top it. Boy was I wrong. I may like this one better.
The beginning of this one starts out much like the first, but from KT's perspective. It really does a lot to help the reader understand her a little better so, even though I wasn't a huge fan of the beginning in book one, it was definitely something I appreciated in this one.
I loved KT. She's strong, independent, knows what she wants and isn't afraid to go after it. She works an unconventional job and lives an unconventional life. I felt like at times that made her selfish but I realized quickly that it was almost a way for her to hide from the real world. Until Dr. Delicious. I loved how Ben allowed her to be exactly who she is. He clearly wanted KT but not at the expense of her giving up on her dreams and taking away the person that she wanted to be.
Steamy and sweet, I thought this was a great addition to the series. The epilogue was probably my favorite part and really pulled at my heartstrings. I can't wait to see what we get from Chloe.
"Will you let me take you to dinner after the holidays?" "No, but thank you for the offer." She turns her hand over and threads our fingers. "Though I'm more than open to a hookup sometime."
Ben was trying to wrap his head around the fact that he wanted to take KT to dinner, but she just wanted to sex. What? He's only been back in the dating game a short while, but he hasn't seen this happen yet. He's not sure what to do with the proposition. He has three daughters to set an example for. He has a thriving career. But KT is hard, if not impossible, to resist. Problem is, can he really just be casual with her without getting his heart broke.
KT has a lifetime commitment to NO commitment. Being in Wildfire Lake is a temporary situation. She loves to travel and has zero intentions of stopping. She doesn't want any emotional entanglements. Of course, things start to change the more she gets involved with Ben and his daughters. She doesn't know what to do with the emotions she is feeling. Is it possible to have all the things she wants?
I love this series!! I can't wait for Chloe's story!
Started this morning and fell in love quickly!
KT is a no nonsense boat mechanic who doesn’t need romance or a man. Ben is a widower with three daughters but when worlds collide the two can’t keep away from each other.
A journey of vulnerability and self discovery!
This is actually book 2 in a series. I haven't read book 1 but I still understand it. This book got a lot of drama, angst and heartache. I like both of the characters and the journey that they had to go through. I like how the hero cares enough about the heroine to make such a great sacrifice for her. Great book!
I received a complimentary copy of Going Under in exchange for an honest review. This is a second book in the Wildfire Series, which can easily be read as a standalone. I read the first book in the series which set the bar pretty high, but book 2, Going Under did not disappoint.
I loved everything about this book. KT is an amazingly strong character that isn't afraid to live independently and does what she thinks is best for her. KT is a free spirit and happily travels around in boats, meeting new people, and taking random jobs as a marine engineer without any commitments to anyone but herself, until she meets Dr. Ben.
Dr. Ben is everything KT is not. He is a widower with three girls, a steady career as a doctor, and a large home on a lake. He needs stability for his family, which didn't align with KT and her lifestyle.
Besides the amazing chemistry between KT and Ben, and her immediate love for Ben's children, I did not see how these two could make a relationship work. It was fun working through their obstacles until they found something that worked.
I would absolutely recommend this series including Book 1, In Too Deep. I can't wait to read about Chloe in the next book. Please hurry:-)
4.5 Dr Delicious Stars
I loved the first book in this series, and book 2 was equally as enjoyable. It sees mechanic KT getting her heartstrings pulled by 3 adorable little girls and their widowed father Ben, or Dr Delicious, as the 3 best friends have nicknamed him. Still living in her boat in the marina KT is doing her second favourite thing, working on boat engines. Her favourite thing is sailing, travelling the seas and visiting new countries. She is most definitely a free spirit, which is the exact opposite of widow Ben, who has put down roots in a new house with his 3 young daughters. They might be opposite in most ways, but they definitely work together in the bedroom, perfectly. They also share their love of his children, it will they ever be able to reach a happy medium together? What a sweet, angst free read, with wonderful characters and an ending that I could never have predicted. A perfect holiday read. I received an advanced copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. This is my honest review.
