Noah has had a crush on his older brother's best friend since his teenage years. They had one brief encounter when Noah was a teen, and one steamy night at a wedding six years ago. When Noah finds out Cameron will be his instructor in a training seminar for work, he decides to make Cameron notice him. When Cameron sees the gorgeous man at the front of the classroom, he can hardly believe the man is Noah, his best friend's kid brother. Sparks fly, and the men can't resist their attraction for one another. Is their passionate encounter just the result of Noah's teenage crush and Cameron's loneliness, or will their affair develop into something more?

This book is absolutely incredible! First of all, this is indescribably sexy. "Hot" doesn't even begin to describe the love scenes in DIVING IN DEEP. This author is an absolute master of sexual chemistry. I'm surprised the electricity these boys generated didn't fry my hard drive! The heat level in this book is off the charts. Jeez, even the phone sex in this book is incredible.

Cameron is a brooding tough guy with a dominant alpha personality. He always gets what he wants. Noah is an alpha male as well and was always the dominant partner in his previous relationships, but something about Cameron brings out his needy, submissive side. I don't know about you, but I get hot thinking about an alpha bottom. Noah is SO sexy. You just have no idea. Cameron occasionally got on my nerves with his caveman alpha mindset and commitment phobia, but his sexual compatibility with Noah made up for it. Noah always seemed to need exactly what Cameron was willing to give him.

There are no scary bad guys in this book, no phony drama, and there are very few supporting characters. This is Cameron and Noah's story, and there's very little interference from outside forces. Cameron is afraid of long-term relationships and Noah spends a lot of time trying to figure out how to make Cameron see him as a man and not the kid with a crush, but somehow the author addresses these issues without creating a stupid Big Misunderstanding like you see so often in M/F romance. The men have issues, and they work on them like men--not like teenaged girls.

The book description on the publisher's site warns that there is "mild dominant/submissive behavior". The key word is "mild"...as in basically nonexistent. It's so mild that I think the warning was completely unnecessary, and even slightly misleading to those who actually look for hardcore BDSM themes.

This is a great e-book by a great author. I highly recommend it.

I really wanted to like this book. But something kept bothering me as I read. Then finally I got it. This IS NOT a M/M romance. The characters only make sense if Noah and Cameron were written as Nora and Cameron. Noah does not display red-blooded American Gay sensibilities. He whines. He gets mad at imagined slights. I kept expecting Noah to say, "If you don't know, I'm not going to tell you!" Or, "Do these pants make my butt looke fat?" It seems as if the author wrote a conventional M/F story then changed Nora to Noah. It just doesn't work. It just doesn't read true to be considered a M/M story. Very unsatisfactory. Makes me hesitant to buy anything else by this author.

This book is 98% sex scenes and 2% story line. There's nothing "wrong" with the sex scenes. But if you're looking for a novel, this is just not it.

While the author shows promise, this book does not do her skill justice. The book is basically a bunch of porn scenes held together by a rather tenuous story line peopled with one-dimensional characters.

I wished I had read the reviews here before I purchased this book. The book is just sex without a story, and I didn't care for the main characters. There are plenty of male/male romances with both. I recommend Strawberries for Dessert AND Promises by Marie Sexton, and Edward Unconditionally by Lynn Lorenz.

Diving Deep is completely sexual in content. At least the author does a creditable job in writing, so the sex is not boring. The plot line is thin, so if all you want is sex between two hot guys, this is your book. Otherwise, stay away.

I've read a lot of KA Mitchell books, so I know and like her style. I actually bought this because I just reread Collision Course and Cameron and Noah make appearances there. Noah is Joey's ex, and Joey is jealous of their relationship. So I went to see how their relationship started. But it really was just one sex scene after another, with very little exposition or anything else in between. I couldn't care for Cameron at all, he comes across as an arrogant prick (he would probably like that description) and while Noah is a bit better, more a three dimensional character, I didn't see what he saw in Cameron at all. In fact I agreed with the assessment that this was probably a teen crush that had never got the chance to wither and die.

Disappointing. But I've read others of hers and really liked them, and I guess everyone is allowed a dud occasionally.

3631 locations, I won't reread.

This book had greater possibilities then were realized. The dynamic between the two main characters was interesting as they meet again after several years have passed and their relationship develops while unresolved issues simmer.

Although I don't object to explicit sex in a book - far from it, I would have prefered a little less sex and more story. The inter-action and dialogue between the two main characters was well done, but shortened by the sex scenes; also no other characters of any significance were introduced who might have help round out the protagonists. I feel there was a lot of lost potential in Diving in Deep.

The first time, everyone remembers. There can only be one and I think this was what initially drew me into the story. The first time for Noah and Cam is so hot and real. And, it was not all candies, hearts and flowers. You could understand where Noah was at. That whole scary out of control feeling he has that comes with having sex and being that close to another person. He wants it so badly but he is nervous and does not want to give that away and scare Cam off. OH. So. Good!

Noah has always had a crush on Cam who is his older brothers best friend. He finally gets his wish during a family wedding. But Cam leaves the next day and it is not until years later that they meet again. The chemistry is still there and Noah is determined this time not to immediately fall to his knees in front of Cam in the first hour. He is kinda successful!! I loved how Noah still seems to retain this core of determination, he just loves Cam and always has. It appealed to my inner romantic geek. Not to say that he is a pushover because Cam totally needed a boot in the behind at times. But as a character he was very appealing.

The road to happiness does not always run smoothly for the boys though. There are the complications of family, friendships, distance and Cam's fear of vulnerability. Cam was not always likable, due to his obtuseness but you felt for him. Maybe he needed soup?

This is the 2nd book of K. A. Michell's that I've read and I liked it. A lot! It's a hot, sexy read and well worth checking out. And, there's swimming, you know... mens+swimsuits=merow. How could you not want to read it?

It was okay. Almost immediately I wanted to punch Cameron in the nads though, and while he did eventually end up redeeming himself I still didn't get a warm fuzy for him. If this were real life and I knew these men and they were to break up I'd be on Team Noah and probably spend a little time trying to talk Noah into letting me doing a few mean things to Cam.
