Depths of Lake by Keary Taylor

Depths of Lake (The McCain Saga, #3)

by Keary Taylor

It was another day at the ranch, training horses and working fifteen hour days. And then the last person I ever expected showed up. Lake McCain: a Marine, tall, ripped—and the best friend of my dead fiancé. Cal died to save Lake, and now Lake claims that he carries a debt to me that he can never repay.

I wanted to brush him off. But then my mom, the manager of the ranch, went and hired him. We spend hours working together with the horses. Lake doesn’t say much. He’s layered and dark and he tries to seem shallow and simple. But he isn’t. There are things under his surface that matter. He works, quiet and strong, and never once lets me down. 

Until he confesses that he may be falling in love with me. I can’t deny that there is something between us. But a relationship? I just can’t. I’ve used up all my chances at love. My past relationships have ended in death or disaster, and now I have to live with all of that. 

I’m Riley James, and there are depths to Lake—depths to myself—that I don’t think I’ll ever fully understand.

Another great addition the the McCain Saga. With each book, I fall more and more in love with this family. They are not perfect, but there is so much love and support for and from each and every member. Lake returns from active duty, and feels he owes a debt to his best friend's fiancee. Riley is still reeling from the loss of, what she believes, is her last chance at love. They both are so wounded and not really living, but rather, just going through the motions. I think Taylor did a great job of conveying this desperation, and loss. I love Riley and Lake together, and I loved the boyish excitement Riley brought out in him. This book had a great balance of all those elements to yield a sweet and heartfelt romance.
