Love Deep by Louise Bay
Colorado Club Billionaires #2
Contemporary Small Town Romance
October 9, 2025
What to expect:
💗Single Mom
🏔️Western Romance
💗Small Town Artist
🏔️Billionaire Romance
My life is basically a three-item to-do list:
1. Keep my eight-year-old daughter happy.
2. Keep my job at the elementary school.
3. Keep my big, scary dream of being a full-time artist locked up where it can’t break my heart.
Easy. Manageable. Drama-free.
And then Fisher Wright strolls into Star Falls.
Tall. Charming. British. The kind of dangerously attractive that should come with a warning label—or maybe a hazmat suit in my size. He’s here for eight weeks, helping a famous music superstar record her next album.
We have one harmless, flirty conversation at the local bar.
Then it’s wine on my porch.
Then stolen kisses by the falls.
Then… oh no, actual feelings. The big, messy, life-complicating kind I swore I didn’t have time for.
But his life is in New York. Mine is here. And long-distance fairytales? Please. They don’t come true — especially when there’s a kid involved.
So why is he making secret plans to get my art in front of Manhattan’s elite?
Why am I suddenly imagining him at my daughter’s soccer games?
And why does it feel like the only temporary thing here… is the eight-week expiration date we agreed on?
Small-town slow burn. Single mom sunshine and a grumpy Brit. Steamy porch kisses. And one very inconvenient, completely irresistible love.

Love Deep by Louise Bay
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
When Juniper met Fisher for the first time, she knew he was special. But Fisher was too busy with supporting his friend to notice her then. But some time has passed and he’s back to her small town with business and has finally really seen her and sparks fly form the get go.
But indulging in no string’s affair is easy, but keeping feelings at bay proves to be anything but. But she is a single mom and can not let herself get caught up in them because the stakes are pretty high for her. But Fisher wants to help her fly and believes in her abilities even when she doesn’t.
The support that they had for one another was truly inspiring. He gave her confidence to go after her dreams and in return she gave him something that was missing for a long time, unconditional love.

🎧🎧AUDIOBOOK REVIEW🎧🎧
Louise Bay makes me happy. I looked back to my reviews of her books, and it seems like I always use this phrase to describe how one of her books made me feel and I find that very telling because I know there have been circumstances in her stories that I haven’t loved or have made me twitchy, but somehow, she makes me happy! Her stories always have this feelgood vibe to them with a well balanced storyline. It was no different with Love Deep except that this time, how she decided to characterize the MFC was less than enthusiastic for me. Honestly, I wanted to slap her silly. Having Samantha Brentmoor perform her character was a huge help for me because there’s just something about Samantha where she can make the twitchiest of twitches not seem twitchy at all LOL. But I digress. So, Juniper (our MFC) is going to test you. I don’t want to give too much detail about her journey away, but let’s just say she was not the most open minded (fictional) person I have ever come across. *deep breath* lol
Overall, this story is very entertaining with Louise’s signature style and voice laced deeply in the story. I really like this universe she has created where she combines “city” and “smalltown” vibes in a smalltown setting. I like that there was an instant “connection” between Juniper & Fisher and yet their journey was more of a slow-burn. I really enjoyed Fisher’s connection and investment in Riley as well. Now, if only Juniper wouldn’t have been so darn stubborn …
I’d like to say that if I “read” this story rather than “listen” to it that I would feel the same about it, but I honestly cannot say that. Samantha Brentmoor and Shane East’s performances were so good that I was lost to their voices from the beginning. There’s something that happens when you listen to an audiobook with such talented narrators. Anything twitchy just seems to go right over your head “in the moment” and it turns a story on a dime. That can also happen in the reverse, but for this book, they made the twitchy not so twitchy! I don’t think that would have been the case had I read the story and I honestly may have put it aside and come back to it much much later. *shrug*
Taking everything into consideration, I still feel good about rating my experience a solid 3.5 stars rounding up to 4 stars easily for vendor sites.
Juniper’s gaze turns to me, and her eyelashes flutter, and her lips part. I swallow, like she’s unexpected royalty or something. Her cheeks are dusted in pink, and her skin glows under the dim lights of the bar. Her eyes sparkle as she smiles.
“Hey, Fisher.”
“He’s the friend from New York Byron’s been telling you about.” Rosey turns to me. “I’m sure you can help Juniper out with her art career. You know so many artistic people in New York.”
Juniper laughs, and the scent of orange blossom and jasmine fills my nose. “I don’t have an art career. I’m a teaching assistant.”
“You’re so talented,” Rosey says. “I’m sure if more people knew about you, you’d be a wild success.”
Juniper smiles like she’s half indulging Rosey and half pleased to receive her praise. But it’s a real smile. A smile that I can tell she means it to her core. It fills me with lightness and energy.
“Fisher’s staying in one of the lodges that has one of your paintings in it.”
“It’s beautiful,” I say, even though I can’t even remember it. But everything about the lodge is beautiful, so I can’t be lying.
She lays her palm flat on her chest. “Thank you. That means a lot.”
“What is it you’re looking for?” I ask. “An agent? A gallery to exhibit you?”
A whisper of panic crosses her face. “Oh, I… I’m not really—I paint for fun. I sell one now and again. Twilight Latte always has one up and a few other stores in nearby towns. I don’t expect I’m going to make it or anything.”
She lets out a nervous laugh at the end, like she’s ridiculous for even thinking she might be successful. Part of me wants to scoop her up and tell her it’s going to happen for her—just like I have done with countless artists over the years when they’ve doubted themselves. But I haven’t seen her work, and so I won’t say that to her. I made a promise to myself a long time ago that I wouldn’t give people false hope. It’s too painful in the long run. One thing I pride myself on is that I don’t say things just to inflate people’s egos.
“I’d like to see your work,” I say before I have a chance to think about it. “I don’t know much about art, but…”
“Great. That sounds like fun. You just tell me when you’re free.”
I nod like I can’t form a sentence, like speaking and looking at the woman in front of me takes up too much brain capacity or something.
