Every Deep Desire is book #1 of Deadly Force series, written by Sharon Wray. This story isn't your standard romance. It’s more mystery suspense with literature overtone on Shakespeare. With twist and turns that will have you turning the page to find out what happens next. This title even surprised me. I went into this book not knowing what it was about. The first several chapters were about building the plot than from there it was all about character building and the mystery of What happened to Rafe. The story has a hidden meaning of how one’s past could alter ones’ future and how one chances meeting can have a massive impact on said future.
Every Deep Desire a dark mystery suspense which is sure to please fans. An excellent start to this new series.

I'm loving the books released by Sourcebooks Casablanca and this was one of those books that I could not put down until I discovered who'd framed the former Green Beret, and Prince's man, Rafe and what the mystery behind the Lily was.
The story unravels a legend of the Prince's men, Fianna, men who bow before they execute. They are also known to quote or communicate their actions by uttering lines from Shakespearean works. Rafe is released from prison, eight years after he'd sent a letter to his wife Juliet, allegedly stating his decision to walk out on her. She's had to pick herself up and start her own business, but once he's out, he knows that she's in danger and he does everything to protect her, including enduring her mistrust and anger towards him. There is however something that has not changed, and that is her love and desire to be with him, but Rafe does not know whether that would be enough because once you've made an oath to the Prince, there's no going back.
The fast paced unraveling of events made this a thrilling read. I could not wait to know who was behind all the attacks on the people Rafe cared about and why.
I loved how the author created a mystery around the Prince's men, there was always one more thing to be discovered about the men at every turn. It made me anxious to get to the root of it all.
I also noted that if you are neither a Shakespeare buff nor interested in the works, you can miss the underlying messages in the lines the Prince's men quote and I believe the author went easy on the reader when it came to the conversation between Rafe and the Prince. Their talks were more open and you could feel as though the Prince valued and trusted Rafe.
On the characters, what I empathized was the feeling of hopelessness in the A-Team members because they were wrongly accused and time was running out on them. The misunderstanding which led to Rafe being labeled a traitor, put them and the townsfolk against Rafe and this was more of a internal battle for the man. I'd love to thank Netgalley for the arc and the publishers.
