has her leaving the comfort of her own home nearly on a nightly basis to save
her mother time and time again. It takes the sudden death of her mother to

threatens to expose her secret. The Hawthorne cousins, vow to protect her from
her self-destructive qualities amidst the angst, pain, and trials they all

as love and passion blossom it threatens to destroy the weak foundation of
solitude that Livie has strived so hard to achieve. Will the intrusion of two
beautiful and tortured souls finally be enough to induce the strength Livie
needs to fight her demons, or will their love and devotion finally push her far
enough to make the deepest cut she'd ever been forced to make?

4 Stars!
I just got done reading Oceans Collide and I really liked it!! Liv is one hell of a kick ass fighting machine! I wish I had some of her moves! Liv is trying to get through life the best she can while keeping a secret that I didn't even see coming. I really connected with Liv. I loved her character and the relationship she had with her dad. Liv is moving on from the life that she has always had, in hopes of finding something that will truly make her happy. When she comes across a new martial arts studio that is opening up, she is hoping that they will hire her. With the back ground she has and what she has learned about martial arts from her dad, she knows it would be the perfect fit.
Lawrence (Law) just got his key to the new studio he is opening and can't help to feel like a little kid running around while looking at it. The last thing he expected was the beauty that was standing in the foyer when he was on his way out. Liv introduces herself to him explaining that she is looking for a job and hands him her portfolio. While Law is glancing at her portfolio, he decides she looks good on paper but can she fight? So, he challengers her and she accepts with out batting an eye.
I loved the scene of Law and Liv fighting. It was pretty intense and she got him good! From that point on Liv and Law immediately form a friendship. One that Law feels like he can't live without Liv and she feels the same way. Their friendship was really sweet. Law and Liv calmed each other down when times got rough. They were the shoulder that they both needed for one another. When Law is hit with a situation from a dad that he has not much of a relationship with, he calls his cousin Ocean to help him out.
Ocean is another Hawthorne that is all broody and hot! He's Law's cousin that is more of a brother to him. Ocean and Lawrence have always had the closet relationship, with both being fighters. They were two of the top fighters and would travel together when they both were on the road. Nothing got between them until Ocean had a life changing event causing him to lose contact with Law when he was forced to take action. However, now that Law needed him, he came to help him without a second thought. Once Liv and Ocean meet everything changes between the 3 of them!
There are a few twist and turns that go on in this story. The ending totally made my heart beat like crazy. I am really happy that I have book 2 waiting on my kindle so that I am not left waiting after that ending! Looking forward to diving into book 2. So, if you want to read a great book with not only one hot guy but 2, grab this one! I definitely recommend Oceans Collide!

4 Stars!
I was so relieved that I was able to start this book right after I finished Oceans Collide. I loved that it started out right where book 1 ended. It didn't recap the ending, it just picked right up where you were left, and I love when books do that.
In Oceans Collide you meet Law, Liv and Ocean. They are all continued characters, and we also get to meet Dulce in this story as a new character. Right from the start she fits right in and makes the perfect 4th person to the group.
In Oceans Submerged Law's, Liv's and Ocean's lives continue to go through twist and turns through out their relationships. At one point Ocean made me want to throw my kindle because of a situation he gets himself in, then he can't even remember what happened the next day. I couldn't believe that he was able to slip back to his old ways so fast. I really liked him, and that just took a little away from him in my opinion. I still love Law and I am happy that his life is coming together. That he is happy in his relationships. I love the relationship that Law, Live and Ocean continue to have. It even gets a little crazy towards the end of the story but I guess its because they are pretty comfortable with each other. There are also some pretty hot scenes as well if you like that type of thing! Which, I must say... I don't mind it one bit!
I loved the loving moments in the story, when Law or Ocean said what they felt. My favorite was...
"I want to fight for us. I want to fight to give you the things in life that you deserve the most. I want to be a good man for you. I want you to feel safe and loved by me at all times, even in my dick moments because there will be plenty of those. I want to be able to get down on one knee for you and when I do, I don't want there to be one single doubt in your mind that I'm not right for you."
This is a great continuation story in this Series. Once again I am left with wanting to dive right into book 3 but unfortunately I don't have it yet!!..UGH.... I guess I will have to wait, but I am looking forward to seeing how everything will fall into place. Once again the ending is pretty suspenseful with an OMG moment!!! A great job so far on this series from M.A. DeOlmoss!

Excerpt
Ocean
I walked into
the plane’s restroom and leaned my back against the door. I started thinking
about the shit I used to do with random chicks on my flights when I was
competing. I pretty much fucked them anywhere and everywhere I wanted, but this
time they weren’t the ones I was thinking about bending over. It was Liv.
Seeing her
pissed and wanting to beat the crap out of that girl made my dick rock hard. I
whipped out my hard dick and forced myself to take a piss. It hurt like a
bitch, but I couldn’t go back out there with a hard on.
I washed my
hands and then my face with cold water. I took several deep breaths before
opening the door and when I did, the chubby flight attendant was standing
there.
I looked up and
Liv had her headphones back on.
“You positive I
can’t help you?”
“Listen. I appreciate
it, but if you don’t want my girl to get up and sweep the isle with you, I
suggest you back off.”
The expression
on her face would have made me feel bad before, but now I didn’t give two
shits. She got my point and stormed off. When she walked passed my seat she
slapped the back of it intentionally and I saw Liv’s head snap in her
direction. She slowly removed her headphones and froze. The flight attendant
looked over her shoulder at Liv and rolled her eyes.
Oh shit… Liv was
getting up!
I just about ran
back to my seat, catching her by her belt and pulling her back.
“Let go,” she
hissed at me between her teeth.
I pulled her
closer. “I have to use the bathroom. Let me go.”
“Yeah…okay, I’m
not Law baby.”
She narrowed her smoky eyes at me and twisted
herself back in her seat. With her arms folded across those perky ass breasts,
she stared at the back of the flight attendant’s head.
I wanted to
laugh because she was behaving the same way I would have if it were the other
way around and that meant something. It meant she claimed me for herself as I
did to her. Even if she couldn’t admit to it now, I knew she did.
To see how far I
could go with her, I slipped my hand between her thighs and nestled it close to
her pussy. I wrapped my thumb around palming her thigh and used it to message
the side of her thigh.
She slowly
arched her back into the seat, pulling my hand in deeper letting me feel the
heat radiating out of her body.
She uncrossed
her arms and let them fall to her sides. I turned my head and looked down at
her. Her breathing was slow and steady.
I leaned in
closer and whispered in her ear, “Give me your phone, baby.”
She calmly
reached into her back pocket, careful not to dislodge my hand and passed me her
phone. I took it with my free hand.
I loved the way she obeyed my commands. Without
a word… without a fight.
