Deep (Stage Dive Series Book 4)

Kylie Scott has previously dished up three belting books in this her Stage Dive series and in this the final instalment it is the big man’s chance to find his happy ever after.They say the bigger they are the harder they fall, well that adage could very well have been penned for Ben because this giant of a man is brought to his knees by one young woman and her unexpected announcement.Ben is the only one of the band that continues to live the rock star lifestyle, he likes the ladies and his freedom and with having no little inspiration or knowledge of what a long term relationship let alone marriage should be like, he has absolutely no intension of very getting tied down – this man is the utmost commitment-phobe!Livvy is off limits to Ben – Mal made that perfectly clear – and he made Ben promise to keep his hands to himself but what Mal was not aware of was the fact that Livvy was dumbstruck by the man.They formed a friendship that was all they could afford to have in light of what anything more would do to the band.Mal was as unpredictable as ever but the one thing Ben didn’t want to have to face was letting his friend down and putting an unnecessary strain on the band. They have been shaken before – could they risk that sort of strain again, especially when they are just about to head off on tour.But one night in Vegas is all it takes and the two of them can’t help but give in to the heat that has been simmering between the two of them over text message.But as we all know, it only takes once and so when Livvy finally faces up to the inevitable and takes the test that she knows will prove positive, she is then faced with the knowledge that she has to tell Ben. Her plan of how and when to tell the big guy about his impending fatherhood is scuppered and her news is drawn from her under the most unfortunate of circumstances… much to the displeasure of the unpredictable Mal – suffice to say there are punches thrown.Later when Ben is deposited at her place after trying to drink himself into oblivion, they wake the following morning to face their impending parenthood with fresh( if somewhat bleary) eyes and resolve to be the best friends they can be for their child and Ben promises to be the man that both she and their baby needs.The situation isn’t the best and Ben isn’t the sharpest tack in the box – he thinks he is trying but honestly he is fairly poor at being an active participant in the whole pregnancy.But when Livvy joins the band on tour the situation suddenly becomes more immediate, because seeing her day to day and after a none too pleasant chat with Jimmy about just how poor he has been at following up on his promises.The light bulb finally switches on and the big guy sets his stall out to show Livvy that he is more than up for the task and slowly but surely the two of them take tentative steps to forming a relationship that they can make work.The band go from strength to strength and Ben and Livvy too continue to grow and even when Ben’s sister sticks her oar in they seem to ride the storm but when she finally pushes Livvy’s buttons and breaks her heart, her actions leave Ben speechless because he knows that she has singlehandedly cost him everything he loves.I felt so sorry for them both at this point, Ben tries to remedy the situation but the damage has been done, but when he left the room that day he never anticipated that Livvy was heading home without him but somehow with her bags packed and her plane ticket booked, she is convinced by the support band lead man Vaughan to make a pit stop on the way to the airport at the gig.My heart was in my mouth at this point, I wanted Ben to finally make the big statement – to show her that she was worth more than she had gotten from him so far, and dear lord the man did me proud!!When he took the mike to say his piece and to lay his heart out on the line for her I was so proud of him, the boy did good!!!The epilogue was fantastic and the birth of their son Gibson was both touching and humorous, fair to say Ben’s sister came in handy… every woman need a bitch to bring out her own inner bitch !!!A fabulous end to a great series and while Ben may have taken his own sweet time in getting his head with the program I have to say that each and every one of the guys has stepped up to the plate and earned not only their women but their happy ever afters.

This has been an incredibly good series. Each book about a different band member and their respective women has been really well written~ definite page turners all of them. Have to say, this is my favourite. Ironic really, because all along I probably liked Ben the least. But in this book I kind of 'got' Him more. I always think it is harder to write a good heroine but Ms Scott nailed it here. Lizzy is my favourite out of all the girls by a long shot. I warmed to her straight away and I loved her humour, strength and moments of kick ass.Is the series really over?? Please can Vaughan have a story. I can just imagine a new series of yummy rockers. Hell to the fire-truck yeah!!!Deep is a gorgeous book with a fab epilogue. Loved every page. It's sexy, funny, romantic and a little bit angsty. I can feel a series re read coming on......

For the past couple of years, over the festive season, I’ve been rereading books that I have always classed as favourites of mine – many which I read years ago. There’s always a worry due to reading tastes changing, that the pedestal that I have these books on would crumble. I need not have worried about any of the books in this series. I absolutely loved being back with the Stage Dive family. I adore these characters. This series is incredible. I was hooked from the very first page of Lick, and I didn’t want my time with these guys to ever end.In the other reviews that I have written I never actually mentioned that although this is a series featuring the four members of the band Stage Dive, each book is told from the perspective of the leading lady and I loved this. Many stories are written using dual POVs, or by a character linked to the band in question (in the case of rock star romances), but I loved that the author wrote this series in this rare way.Don’t get me wrong I loved Ben and Lizzy’s story, but I have to admit that it is my least favourite out of the four. I just felt that apart from the pregnancy there wasn’t that much different in the storyline from what we have previously read. I also felt I was reading a female version of Mal in Lizzy, which is why I do love her and I sense the reason why Anne and Mal get on so well.I award Deep 4 stars. I am gutted that this incredible series has come to a close – although I am aware that the author has since written a few novellas which I am looking forward to devouring next. I’m not ready to say goodbye just yet!

Have really enjoyed the Stage Dive series and loved all the characters in and around this rock band (although I think Mal would drive me a bit batty) but I really think this was my favourite book. Brilliantly written and I thought Liz was a fantastic heroine and her humour and outlook on life had me laughing out loud quite a few times. Took me a while to warm to Ben (the bass player) but he soon came into his own.This is a series that you can read over and over again and I certainly will. Very highly recommended, in fact I recommend the whole series. We had a long wait for this book to come out but it was worth it, just feel sad that I guess that's the end? or is Sam getting a story? Don't want to let Stage Dive go just yet, most enjoyable.

Perfekter Abschluss für die Serie. Mit vielen neuen potentiellen Charakteren. Sam und Vaughn hätten ihre eigenen Bücher verdient. Ich würde sie auf jeden Fall lesen.

Oh Ben Ben Ben....I wasn't so sure I was going to be that into you but holy s***, I loved you!I loved this series! Good clean easy reads. Good romances with tiny blips along the way.When Lizzy found out she was pregnant to say she was shocked would be an understatement. And to be having a baby with someone she isn't even in a relationship with? Well, to say the least, it was just bad timing. For Ben...he wasn't into relationships or even thinking about a relationship. He is the ultimate bad boy rock and roller. Party all night, sex with whom ever whenever. So when Ben finds out he is going to be a Daddy, he has to rethink his whole plan on life.I loved the way this story came together. Lizzy didn't want anything from Ben even though she is madly in love with him. She didn't ask him to change. She didn't ask him to love her. She asked for nothing, but a little of his time. Little does she know, Ben feels the same for her. Even though Ben tried to stay away from Lizzy because Mal asked him to, Lizzy was all he could ever think about.I loved this whole series. One book tied into the next and we got to see more about each character. I loved how it all wrapped up in the end. It doesn't leave you hanging on any of the characters we met along the way.I am sad that is series is over and it will definitely be a re read for me at some point!

Deep é o quarto e, acredito, último livro da série Stage Dive. Contudo, ele pode ser lido como standalone, então, se este é o seu primeiro contato com esta saga, não se preocupe, a trama não te deixará confusa – embora eu altamente recomende a leitura de todos os volumes anteriores!É triste ver esta jornada chegar ao fim. Com os membros da banda Stage Dive eu ir alto e suspirei. Seus livros possuem o pacote perfeito com a dose certa de vapor, humor e romance. E, apesar de Deep não ter sido um dos meus favoritos, ele certamente não me decepcionou.Lizzy é a irmã da esposa de Mal, o baterista da Stage Dive, então não é a toa que ela seja considerada com parte da família. Os membros da banda (bom, quase todos) a consideram como uma irmã mais nova. Pena que Lizzy não sinta qualquer extinto fraterno em relação ao baixista Ben Nicholson. Desde o momento em que ela o viu, ela soube que o seu coração era dele. O problema é que Ben é um solteiro convicto. Ele ama a sua liberdade, o fato de não possuir compromisso e nem ter que dar satisfação a ninguém. E além disso, ele foi categoricamente advertido a manter as suas mãos bem longe de Lizzy. Mas, Ben não consegue conter a atração que sente por ela... principalmente quando Lizzy decide que irá seduzi-lo a todo custo. E, uma única noite em Vegas acaba mudando tudo entre eles... e os conectando para sempre.Estar gravida com vinte e um anos de idade definitivamente não é o que Lizzy queria para a sua vida. Mas, pior que isto é saber que o pai de seu filho, por quem ela é completamente apaixonada, não quer saber de compromisso.Esta é uma estória de amor não correspondido. Um romance que começa com uma amizade verdadeira e se torna complicada com a noticia de uma gravidez não planejada. Ela traz uma narrativa comovente sobre uma mulher forte e um barbudo tatuado que não sabia o que realmente faltava em sua vida até Lizzy entrar nela como um furacão.Deep é angustiante, repleto de idas e vindas entre Ben e Lizzy. E eu tenho que admitir que de todos os membros da banda, ele talvez tenha sido aquele por quem eu menos suspirei. Eu tenho certeza de que passei a maior parte da trama querendo esganá-lo. Contudo, o final foi tudo o que eu esperava de um romance à la Stage Dive. E eu decididamente recomendo para os fãs da série!

This is a bittersweet moment writing the final review for the Stage Dive Series by Kylie Scott. Readers have been sitting on pins and needles waiting for Ben's book to arrive. At the same time I think they were dreading the release day because we knew this was the last book in this phenomenal series.I can honestly say that Deep was the perfect ending for our favorite band, Stage Dive, and the final tour. We've witnessed a deep feeling poet & lead guitarist shed the strings that held him back to find what true love is really about. We've rode the ADHD ,fueled my pure sugar hyped up on steroids crazy train, otherwise known as Mal Ericsson, the highly adrenalized drummer for Stage Dive ( still my all time favorite book boyfriend). We've gave the finger and the hi ho to the egotistical, self centered lead singer and forgave his transgressions. Yes, we wanted the jerk to find happiness and love. Through it all has been the quiet, strong and steady bass player. He rolls with the punches, lends a hand when necessary, never rocks the boat, and always plays with perfection. He is easy going, mild mannered, and a carefree spirit. He has a bit of wanderlust, a big dose of commitment issues, and no clue how to be in a relationship. He has quite a mystery throughout the series and peaked the reader's interest.Ben is going to steal the readers hearts. This man is a swoon worthy rock- n- roll fantasy wrapped up pure hunkiness and manly hair. As we all know, he is the beat and rhythm that keeps the band's music flowing to perfection. His perfect beat and timing is going to rock the readers hearts.As we have all suspected, Ben and Lizzy were definitely attracted to one another. All those text messages Ben seemed to be wrapped up in, you can only guess who he was texting. When the Elvis Vegas Wedding binds another Stage Dive couple, Ben and Lizzy make their own coupling. A one night stand results in the appearance of Little Bean, otherwise known as baby on the way. What happened in Vegas did not stay in Vegas.Ben's not ready to settle down. He doesn't want commitment. He does want to be a stand up guy. He respects Lizzy and wants to be the friend she needs. But is he really ready to be a father?Meanwhile backstage, other members of the band are up to all kinds of good & bad things. Jimmy and Lena are also expecting. Jimmy wants to railroad Lena and take care of her. Lena just wants to kill Jimmy ( not really), Could another wedding be in the near future? And Mal, well besides teaching Killer (the puppy) how to kiss with his tongue, he wants to kill Ben. Trouble is brewing between the band members and it is not pretty. All of this is happening just as they are starting a sixteen week world wide tour. This is a tour to go down in Stage Dive history.The romance between Ben and Lizzy is a slow build that becomes something absolutely beautiful. It is a wonder to watch them both change for the better. It is a wonder getting to know who Ben really is beneath his easy going exterior.Just as it looks like Ben and Lizzy are going to have their perfect Stage Dive Happily Ever After, the story will take another turn. An old nemesis will pop up with her claws sharpened and ruin the perfect tour. The Stage Dive series will go full circle and it will be up to Ben to stop the vicious cycle.The Stage Dive Series is one of my all time favorite series. Kylie Scott has created magic with these colorful musicians and their leading ladies. She has given us humor, heartbreak, witty dialogue, interesting strong leading ladies, a tight knit family, and romance that makes the heart beat out of control. Each and every book is a 5+ Star Book.Don't miss out on the final show for Stage Dive. Read Deep...it will rock your soul.

Lettura scorrevole e semplice anche se in lingua originale!!! Divorato in un giorno l'ultimo capitolo della serie...peccato non ce ne siano altri!!!!
