Full review at Smart Bitches, Trashy Books 
 I really, really enjoyed Going Deep by Anne Calhoun. It's an excellent blend of romance and mystery, and it features a bodyguard hero, which I love. In addition, it's pretty much free of violence, so if you're iffy on romantic suspense because you don't like violent themes, then this book is for you. 
 The characters in this book really sold the story for me. They're nuanced and felt real and relatable. Despite being a celebrity, Cady is a real person who longs for normalcy sometimes, but acknowledges she's given that up to achieve her dreams. 
 The thing I really, really loved, though, was how this book managed to have a great suspense plot with zero violence. There are references to the person Conn was accused to of assaulting, but nothing happens on stage. I'm not opposed to violence (you guys know what I read), but this is an excellent book and it's perfect for readers who don't want scary shit. 
 The mystery is well done, too. I totally thought I had figured out who was tormenting Cady and I was completely wrong. It's always fun to be surprised. 
 So if you like romantic suspense, I cannot recommend Going Deep enough. If you want to like romantic suspense but can't handle the murdery-ness, then you really, really need to get your paws on this book. I'll certainly be checking out the previous books in this series.
