I really enjoyed this emotional, sweet, and sexy romance. In the previous books in this serious we witnessed Kendall's spiral down and then her struggle to get help with her Bi-Polar disorder. During that time she and her sister are manipulated and used by Kendall's boyfriend Julian. Now we learn Julian's background and what lead him to this point. He was devastated when he learned about Kendall's illness and it motivated him to confront his own demons. Now he is trying to make amends so he can move on and be a better man. When he finds Kendall again, he is struck by how much he really cares for her and how he wants to convince her to give him a second chance. I loved how this story was about how they worked hard to become strong, independent and happy with themselves. They wanted to show those who supported them that they can now trust their decisions and choices. I really enjoyed watching Kendall and Julian get to know each other as they are today and how they learn to trust again. When they are confronted by their past will their trust be strong enough to keep them from walking away? This moving, funny and steamy romance is the perfect ending to this series.

What a great heartfelt romance that had redemption and a second chance love that had me trembling with emotion. I never expected to LOOOOOVE a book that had such a heavy topic, especially when it comes to drug or alcohol addiction but I should of KNOWN that Carly Phillips would have me loving this intensely emotional and heavy story of a second chance romance.

Seriously, this book was...spectacular! Sexy, sweet, intense and full of heart and loads of heat, this story won me over in 2.0 seconds. Julian and Kendall both had issues and when Julian decides to not only try to make amends for his past actions but to also show Kendall that he cares and loves her left me completely and utterly breathless. There were moments I let some tears fall and some moments that left me sighing in pure contentment. I am in complete awe and I thank Carly Phillips for giving me a story that left me in utter pieces...the good kind, if that makes sense!

Julian and Kendall felt incredibly real. Their romance felt special as well as the book itself. Going In Deep gets a DEEPLY SATISFYING FIVE SHOOTING STARS! Its a book I won't forget anytime soon!

This book had me in tears right at the beginning. A lot of that stems from my dog rescue work and I could totally relate to Kendall's work environment and falling in love with the dogs :) Julian and Kendall were such great characters and so easy to fall in love with. Julian is truly sorry for what he had put Kendall through in the past and will do anything for a second chance. When he realizes that he loves Kendall, he will even walk away if that's what she needs him to do.

Kendall never forgot about Julian, even though she tried. He used her and broke her heart, but yet she still wanted to trust him and give him that second chance. She truly believes he has changed and when he adopts her buddy from the shelter, she knows she has to give him a shot.

I haven't read the other books in this series. I still got a good feel for all of the other characters who were in the other books. The only thing that wasn't really clear to me was exactly how Julian used Kendall. Overall though, I loved this book because I could really relate to the characters and I really loved the story. Great read!

I received a complimentary copy of this book through Crazy Cajun Book Addicts for an honest review.

I love the Billionaire Bad Boy series and after seeing snippets of Julian and Kendall's story in the other books I was really excited to read this one and I can say it didn't disappoint. It deals with serious issues such as addiction and mental illness but it's written in such a way that makes it easy to really understand what these characters were going through.

Kendall and Julian have a chequered history. Julian was a drug addict and made Kendall fall in love with him only to use her for his own gain against his one time best friend's. He didn't know at the time that Kendall was Bipolar and was suffering from a manic episode. He hurt her terribly. He's now seen the error of his ways got himself the help he so desperately needed and he wants Kendall back. Kendall is on a more even keel now thanks to her meds and she's loving her job working with animals, when Julian walks back into her life is there really any chance she can learn to trust him again after everything they went through last time.

Julien Dane was NOT my favorite character before his book came out. He was manipulative, hateful and hurtful and felt like the world owed him. In Going In Deep, we see why he was the way he was, and how hard he worked to change his bad boy image.

Kendal Parker has a mental illness that she is constantly trying to overcome with prescription medication and therapy. She has worked hard to get her life on an even keel. When Julien comes back into her life after nearly destroying it several years ago, she is very distrusting at first, but there is an emergency that only she can help with. But can she keep Julien in the friend zone...and does she even want to? And how can she tell her family if she lets Julien back in when they were the ones to help pick up the pieces last time he nearly destroyed her?

Will these two ever get their Happily Ever After?

I'm so glad Julien and Kendal got their own book. This was so worth the wait. I wish there were more stories in this series, but I know what ever Carly has up her sleeve next will suck me in just like this book did.

Julian Dane and Kendall Parker were once a flammable couple. The fire started off and continued until an explosion happened that hurt Kendall and forced Julian to search within himself.
Fast forward several months. Kendall has found her niche with caring for abandoned dogs. Julian enters to right a wrong, but will receive his chance of forgiveness? Will the past rear its ugly head forcing Julian to retreat again?
Going in Deep continues Carly Phillip’s brand image of being an author who can tell stories of forgiveness and second chances all within a romantic and endearing way. In addition, Going in Deep discusses topics that are meant to be dealt with care. Ladies and gents, Carly definitely wrote a story that hits a home run with how eloquently she handled modern day issues. I cannot say enough great accolades on how well Going in Deep is written.
I recommend Going in Deep for all of us Carly fans as well as enthusiasts of a happily-ever-after
Happy Reading!!!

Kendall is Lexie's sister. Julian is a former friend and helped start Blink with Kade, Derek, and Lucas. Julian had addictions to drugs and uses AA to help him, he likes it better than NA. He finds Kendall to apologze to everything he did to her. They begin a relationship, she learns about his sister and why he did what he did to her in Going Down Easy, the first book in the series. They are standalones, but I would suggest starting from the beginning, so you can meet everyone.
Julian adopts a dog, Steve, from the shelter Kendall works at. Kendall loves all the dogs, but if she could she would have Steve at her house. I likes the parts with the dogs, showed Kendall in her element, wanting to help others with animals. She even suggests Julian look into a dog for his sister Alyssa, and for his sponsor, Nick, and his family.
One morning Lexie comes to Kendall's and finds Julian there, They talk and Julian also goes to see Kade.
I want more from this series, I don't want to leave them yet!

This is book four in the Billionaire Bad Boys series and I believe the last one but, I felt, it was the BEST one! In the previous books, Julian was portrayed as a vile character, mean and selfish. I honestly didn't think I would like this story as much as I did because I was sure I'd LOATHE Julian. Thank you, Carly Phillips, for proving me wrong because I LOVED Julian! I imagine it would be incredibly hard to come to terms with and own up to mistakes that horribly affected so many people. But I ABSOLUTELY loved how Julian redeemed himself, he's my favorite kind of hero! Kendall was such a great character too. She had the ability to forgive and that's an awesome quality. Plus she was sweet and brave. Even though Julian and Kendall had several tough, personal obstacles to overcome, they learned that while they were courageous in facing their problems, they were even stronger together. It was a fantastic end to the series! It has some angst,a whole lot of steam, bold characters and a happy ending. Told from dual POVs. I received, read and voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

What a wonderful story about love and redemption. I have not read the first 2 books in this series (an oversight that will be corrected very soon), so I did not have a complete backstory for Julian and Kendall, but I got a view into both of their circumstances in Going Down Hard. Julian got the help he needed and decided to fight for what he wanted, which was Kendall, and Kendall just wanted to prove that she could live her own life on her terms, and make choices for herself - the main choice being Julian. I understand Lexie and Kade's wariness where Julian was concerned, especially considering Kade and Julian's history, but I wish that they had trusted Kendall to make her own decisions instead of making her feel like she had to choose. This caused a domino effect that left both Julian and Kendall hurt and alone until they finally decided they were going to live life on their terms. I loved the epilogues, and I love that Julian and Kendall grew their family in the way they chose. It was perfect for them, and a perfect ending to this series.

This is a book I've been anticipating for MONTHS!!!! I hope you've read the other books in this series prior to Going in Deep. This way you'll understand the dynamics of all the characters.

Kendall Parker is bi-polar. After many years, she's finally on track with her meds and is healthy. She's working at an animal shelter as well as finally living alone.

Julian Dane is a recovering addict. His mother was an alcoholic who died in a car crash that left his sister with a permanent brain injury. He has a rough history with Kendall. He dated her with the intention on hurting his former college mates & partners in an app they had created together.

Julian walks back into Kendall's life and tries to apologize. He's not making excuses as to "why" he hurt her but he needs Kendall to believe him and trust him, again.

The biggest hurdle won't be Kendall forgiving Julian but how Her twin sister, Lexi and her husband, Kade, a former partner will respond to the news they are seeing each other again.

Prepare to fall in love with Julian. I think most readers hated Julian but in my opinion- he redeems himself by his honesty and love for Kendall.

Carly Phillips you did it again!! This Second Chance novel is one of the best I have read. I was so prepared not to like Julian... OH I was so not wanting too. This is one of those cases where I will say you really want to have read the other books in this series to really get why everyone is going on about Julian and Kendall.

This book addresses mental illness and bipolar disorder with a frank and very real understanding that makes this read very refreshing. I love seeing the growth in both Kendall and Julian and how Carly Phillips doesn't give us cookie cutter romance, but takes the time to build in depth relationships not only with Julian and Kendall but also we get to see how their relationship rippled out to her relationship with her twin and also with the "non" relationship between the ex partners Julian and Lexie's husband and his friends.

This is definitely a re-read book. Heck the whole series is one of those that will be worth re-reading time and time again. 5 stars.

This is a short second chance story that I enjoyed reading. I liked the main characters Julian and Kendall and their strength, determination, and commitment to get better, be happier, and lead more meaningful and fulfilling lives. Their situations were realistic and believable, and although the story touched on some heavy issues like bipolar disorder, depression, addiction, and death, the romance and positive changes in the couple more than offset all of those. I thought it was both cute and remarkable how Julian and Kendall's therapy and recovery were aided and spurred on by humans and animals alike (in this case, emotional-support dogs). My favorite part was when Kendall finally informed her twin Lexi and brother-in-law Kade how she felt about Julian and how she was taking charge of her life. Such a courageous and kick ass moment! The epilogue was cool too because it was a glimpse into the future and it was about love, family, and having it all.

ARC for honest review with no compensation
Going in Deep by Carly Phillips is a second chance at love and to repair friendships lost with tears, laughter and rooting for a happy HEA…well done Carly! !
Julian and Kendall met in the 1st book in this series, Going Down Easy but Julian ruined everything between them and lost his best friend in the process too. He never told anyone what happened to him in college and what led to his downfall. Time has passed and he is determined to fix all the wrongs and wants more than anything to get back into Kendall life.
Kendall on the other hand wants nothing to do with Julian after all the damage and hurt he caused her and her family but when they meet up at the shelter for animals where she works she see a difference in him and maybe if they take their time they can work to getting back together…..
Will they figure out that through all the mistakes in the past they can have a future together or will her family figure a way to keep them apart???

(I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review)

I'm generally not a fan of third person narratives (I prefer first person, especially dual POV's from the male and female leads), but Carly Phillips is one of the few authors that can suck me in despite that. I was immediately drawn to Julian and Kendall - they were both so vulnerable in a very real way. The book dealt so well with the issues of mental health issues and the respect due to those dealing and coping with it, as well as addiction. It was a beautiful story of forgiveness - not only the willingness and ability to forgive others, but also the need to forgive yourself. Plus it had Carly's signature steam. I'm definitely going to go back and read the first 3 books in the series, especially since we actually meet Julian and Kendall in a previous volume AND the couples featured in them make an appearance in Going In Deep. This is a perfect example as to why Carly Phillips is one of my "must read authors" and has been for a while!

Going in Deep, the fourth book in the Billionaire Bad Boys series, reintroduces us to Julian Dane and Kendall Parker. These two characters made their initial appearance in Going Down Easy, Kaden and Lexie's story, and I personally did not like either of them very much.

Then Carly Phillips does the unthinkable...and makes them likable. Both Julian and Kendall have taken hold of their lives and grown. They have learned from past mistakes and poor choices, and they each have become better and stronger because of it. AND they did it apart from each other for themselves.

In Going in Deep, they are the individuals they were meant to be, so to speak, and they are finally ready for each other. They still need to work through the past, but now they can truly get to know one another and develop a healthy, lasting relationship.

This was a perfect second chance/redemption story!

***I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advance Reader Copy.***

This is book #4, in the Billionaire Bad Boys series. This book can be read as a standalone novel. For reader enjoyment and understanding, I recommend reading series books in order.

Julian is recovering from hitting the absolute bottom. He takes the steps to getting better seriously now. He is trying to make amends where he can.

Kendall has her own issues. While health is important, the heart wants what it wants. Can she go back to loving the man who makes her heart melt? Or was the past too much for the new her to handle?

These characters are obviously meant to be together. What is even better, they both have taken the time to get their own personal selves better. I think this story shows how important it is to take care of your own business before worrying about someone else. Then you are free to love as you like.

I was a bit nervous about reading Kendall and Julian's story because Julian was such a jerk (to put it mildly)in Going Down Easy to Kendall that I honestly didn't think it would be possible to change him. Now almost a year later and when he finds out Kendall works at a non profit animal shelter in Manhattan.

I'm glad they had a bit of a rocky start and that it wasn't all hearts and flowers and the "Oh I forgive you" type of story. Julian really had to
work at rebuilding his relationship and that's what had me with this story.

I think Carly Phillips did a great job with this story. It seemed very fasts paced as I was reading it and a few times I did get misty eyed because Carly does an awesome job of making you feel what the characters feel.

I can't wait to see what she has instore for us in the next one.

Julian Dane has really screwed up. He took advantage of Kendall Parker when they were together. He willingly used her to better himself but, he didn't know she had her own issues.

Now he is better and he needs to apologize to people and correct his wrongs to excel in recovery. Kendall is doing a lot better with the help of her sister. When Julian goes to her, she tries to ignore him. She does pretty good at keeping him at arms length until he adopts a pet from the shelter she works at. She still tries to keep her distance but the chemistry between them is off the charts.

Everything is going fine with them until Kendall's twin sister finds them together early one morning. Everyone in Kendall's life wants her far away from Julian after everything he has done.

Has Julian really changed or is he out to rip Kendall's heart apart again.

This book was so good. Loved every page. Definitely a must read!!!

Rating 3.5

I love a good second chance story - its my favorite and I have to point out that I haven't read the first 3 books in the series. While I enjoyed Julian and Kendall's story and was happy to see them work through their issues of addiction and mental illness I was taken back on how quickly things moved. I think I would have enjoyed this story more if I understood what happened with these characters in the beginning and the impact they had on the characters around them.

That all being said - I thought Ms Phillips writing was well done. The pace of the story was great and the secondary characters where great adds that helped move the story forward. It was also great to see how Ms Phillips depicted addiction and depression - all well done.

All in all I do recommend this - especially for those who are familiar with this series.

Carly Phillips...My #1 one-click purchase author. Going In Deep is book #4 in the billionaire bad boys series. These don't have to be read in order, but things definitely make a little more sense when you do.

Julian, a former addict, has burnt his bridges with his former partners and friends...And Kendall when he used her to try to get to her twin's boyfriend. Kendall, who has her own mental stability issues, is not sure she can trust not only him, but herself anymore. He slowly wins her over when he starts making amends with those he has hurt in the past. This book really called to me. It as kind of heartbreaking, but also relieving, to know that even with mental issues for Kendall, combined with addiction issues with Julian, that love can prevail and life goes on.

I am volunteering to leave a review for an ARC of this book.

I've been really looking forward to this one once I knew it was coming. Julian and Kendall's story I knew was going to be a good one. Julian has to really redeem himself because in the previous books in the series we saw his destructive behavior. Kendall has pulled herself from her own downward spiral to create a great life for herself. There is just one problem she can't get over Julian. Can Julian prove to Kendall he's a changed man. It was super easy for me to instantly like him once we get behind what caused Julian's downward spiral. Plus once you get to know the true Julian we see the truly compassionate guy he is. I think Carly Phillips did a great job writing what is a tough subject matter. She did the characters justice and with dignity. I thought for what both Kendall and Julian had overcome that the epilogue was the absolute perfect touch.

WOW!! This second chance romance certainly packs an emotional punch. I was very interested to see how Kendall and Julian's story would play out after the last book. I knew it would be a great story. Going in Deep is definitely an apt title. I had no idea the story would be so emotional and raw, but boy am I thankful. I really enjoyed it!

There's a bit of something for everyone. This book is emotional, angsty, has family drama, steamy sex, and lots of puppy love. See what I mean? Something for everyone! LOL The main characters have faced very difficult circumstances, but both come out on top. It's a story of love, survival, and overcoming obstacles.

Kudos to Carly Phillips for writing another fantastic romance with depth. It's sure please her fans, old and new.

We were introduced to Julian and Kendall in the first book in the series and they definitely deserved their own story. Julian was a user and an all-in-all unlikeable guy when we first met him but through the glimpses we've seen in the other books the new Julian we meet in this book is still a surprise but not a total shock. Kendall is new and improved--she is in control of her life and she is learning to trust her instincts and live her life for herself. Kendall has never stopped loving Julian even after the way he used her to hurt Cade her brother-in-law, so when Julian shows back up she is open to getting to know the new and improved version. This story was a sweet one where two damaged people were given second chances in both life and love to get things right. I enjoyed this story and the love that overcame so many obstacles to win.

If you have been reading this series, you probably feel the same way I felt about Julian before reading this book. He was the greatest jerk in the world to Kendall and Kade. His drug habit, need for retaliation, and massive jerkness is not forgotten from different books. BUT WAIT! He has undergone an incredible change. He has come to term with his attitude and addiction. Now he is ready to complete his "twelve steps" and ask for forgiveness from everyone he hurt.

I enjoyed how the courtship between Kendall and Julian evolves. He shows he is learning and respectful of Kendall's feelings. Besides, adopting a rescue dog in need is the best way to start a new life for him!

I am voluntarily reviewing this book. Thank you to the author for sharing a copy of this book with me.

Julian and Kendall have a history, not a very good one, but a history.
After regretting his past mistakes when it comes to Kendall, Julian has gone straight. He’s going to AA, getting the support he needs from his mentor and really wanting Kendall back. Kendall, with her bipolar disorder is now on the right meds and is doing great, until Julian walks back into her life. She’s never forgotten him and how well they clicked.
They each want a second chance but Kendall’s family may stand in the way. With the right amount of determination, proof of change, they may just get their HEA.
A must read. A great series and even though you can read this as a stand alone, their history is explained in previous books.
Would highly recommend this book. Of course, Carly wrote it. Need I say more?

What a great ending to a wonderful series! This is the final book in Carly Phillips Billionaire Bad Boys series, and we pick up with Kendall and Julian. Kendall and Julian have history. Kendall suffers from a mental illness and Julian is a recovering addict, having met in a bad time in their lives, their relationship didn't work out.
They meet up again, and both are doing much better. Julian knows he hurt and betrayed her in the past, but hopes she can forgive him. Can they both overcome their past and rekindle a romance?
This is a great story about overcoming and believing in second chances. Carly Phillips knows how to write amazing romance stories, and this one doesn't disappoint. Its written with heart and love that is truly a must read for any happy ever after fan.

Addiction turned him into a person he didn't like, but he only realized it when he broke the heart of the woman he inadvertently fell in love with, Kendall. Now as she tries to pick up the pieces of her life and live a life filled with purpose and peace he has come back to claim her as his. He has a lot to prove.
A second chance romance that proves people can change and make a new. We met Julian and Kendall in the previous books, but in this book we get to the heart of what and who they really are. Two people that are meant to be together but have to prove it not only to them selves but the people they hold dear to their hearts.
A fun read that will have you both giggling and crying but above all will have you rooting for Julian to win the heart of his Kendall.

Julian Dane used and abused Kendall Parker's love but, regrets his actions and wants another chance with Kendall. After having her heart broken, the last thing Kendall wants is anything to do with Julian. Julian goes out of his way to prove to Kendall that he's a different man, a better man but, will Kendall risk losing her family in order to be with Julian?
I couldn't wait to get my hands on this book but, for some reason I couldn't relate to the main characters. Going into this book, knowing what Julian did I wasn't sure if I could like him, if he could be redeemed but, he was in a very realistic way.This wasn't my favorite book but, overall I liked it. I liked that addiction and mental illness was portrayed realistic manner. This was a good conclusion to this series.

Julian Dane is the baddest boy of the Billionaire Bad Boys. He pulled some things in earlier books that really had me questioning if he was going to be redeemable. I have to say this book definitely laid all of those fears to rest. The brief glances we had of Julian and Kendall Parker in earlier books really had me hoping they were going to get their own book some day. I love that we saw their past through Julian's eyes and the way he owned those mistakes and grew from them. There was so much going on that we didn't know about and this book really delved into all of that. I loved seeing Julian and Kendall making a fresh start, plus the way their real lives factored into all of that as well. It was a great way to wrap up their stories.

Bruised by life and their own bad choices they needed a wake up call. Instead they found each other. Ms. Phillips certainly knows how to put the moves on a heart. She informs, entertains and doesn't pull any punches in this story of second chances. Kendall and Julian found each other at their darkest moments. Lies, manipulation and heartbreak ensued. After years of darkness, that one moment forced them into the light and changed two broken people in a positive way. Can time, distance and positivity, give them a chance at happiness? Going In Deep, is a triumphant testament of what the power of love can do. In the most tragic of circumstances it has the power to heal. Kendall and Julian are my favorite Billionaire romance to date.

We finally get the conclusion to Julian and Kendall's story! I knew it wasn't over but I had no idea how it could work out. Carly did not disappoint. I really enjoyed seeing how Kendall and Julian had each grown and changed on their own before they started exploring the possibility of a relationship again. I like how Kendall carefully considered things and consciously decided to see who Julian became rather than only using her knowledge of him before he changed, and that they didn't just rush into it.

I also enjoyed seeing Kendall come into her own and standing up for herself with her sister and Kade - they mean well but it was good for Kendall to learn to trust herself.

Overall, I think its a great book!

Kendall gets her story!! We've already been introduced to Lexie's twin in a previous book, but you sometimes want more from the backgrounds characters, especially when some angst is in the backstory. Julian Dane has to hit rock bottom before he could get his life back on track, he's made horrid choices that hurt many people, not least of which is Kendall. Forgiveness and growth are the mainstays of this book. Take some time to find how two broken people can heal each other's hurts and be the safe space we all need.
Thank you Carly for taking on mental illness head on. It's still holding a stigma in the real world. You didn't shy away from the realities that both addiction and unmedicated bi popular people face.

I was very apprehensive before starting Going in Deep by Carly Phillips. Mostly because, turning a villain into a hero hardly ever works but also because there was a lot of obstacles to overcome.
I forget that I really shouldn't worry about Carly too much. She always gets it right. I truly enjoyed Julian's redemption, the wait was well worth it and I found him to be a worthwhile hero. On the other side of the coin, I believed Kendall to be completely healthy in her decisions and aware of her self. I was so worried that the book would feel rushed or that it wouldn't be a good read. I was wrong. Very wrong.
I also loved the way that Carly writes the Billionaire Bad Boys in the future, especially Kendall and Julian.

These two needed redemption. Kendall and Julian had a rocky history and had to make each other fall for the new and improved versions of each other. Julian definitely had more than his fair share of work to do though. He didn't just have to win over Kendall again, but her family and friends too. He had to prove that he was a new man worthy of her trust and love. He proved that and more.

You will love the new characters, Alyssa and Alex, who are introduced in this book. The ending felt a little rushed, but I still really loved the story. I especially loved the story showing that people with psychological disorders and go through ups and downs in the way to finding happiness in their lives.

What I loved about this is that neither Julian or Kendall made excuses for their behavior while they were spiraling out of control. Both took complete responsibility and I could genuinely feel their commitment to making amends and moving on with a new and better life. Their reunion wasn't easy, yet it wasn't too angsty. which I appreciated. I was really rooting for them because everyone deserves a second chance, especially this couple. I thought this was a great way to end the series. It worked well as a stand alone as do all of the books in this series. I look forward to seeing what this author has in store for us next!

*I received a free copy of this book from the author

Carly Phillips' Billionaire Bad Boys wraps up with Going in Deep. With the start of this series, Going Down Easy, I wasn't sure how much I was going to like Kendall or if Julian was even redeemable. I should have known enough that when I pick up a CP romance, I'm going to get an enjoyable read.

Throughout the previous books, readers are able to get to know Kendall and experience her character development. But we are left wondering what we'd get with the bad boy Julian. Julian is my new favorite. CP gives us a character that has realized he hit rock bottom and changed how he was living. I loved Kendall and Julian together. I couldn't help but want to see them make it work.

This is the fourth book in the Billionaire Bad Boys series and I loved this one! It's been a while since I've had the pleasure of reading such a touching and heart warming second chance story and I highly recommend reading this to anyone! Julian has a difficult past filled with many regrets and even though he's changed his ways, he still has a long way to go to get where he really wants to be. Kendall is a victim of Julian's past and she's unsure of what his intentions are or whether she can truly trust the man he presents himself to be now. I loved how this story shows what can happen when two people are able to put the past behind them. I reviewed this for Reviews from the Heart.

Kendall and Julian's story may just be my favorite out of the whole series and I've loved the whole series! When Julian walks back in to Kendall's world, you can't help but worry and wonder if he will hurt her again or is he really in it to make amends? Can they find love when everyone in her life is seemingly against them?

This story touches on deep issues like drugs and mental health. And Carly Phillips does a great job in showing how much work goes in to making an addict and someone who is bipolar healthy!

The end is emotionally touching and wraps up the whole series nicely!

I can't wait to see what Ms. Phillips comes up with next.

Julian Dane is a recovering drug addict and he sets out to right the wrong he did to Kendall Parker. He is determined to show her that he has changed and that the feelings he has for her are real.

Kendall Parker is a strong woman who is determined to take control of her life and her feelings for Julian regardless of her family's views. I admired Kendall and her ability to manage her bipolar disorder and show everyone that she could make her own decisions.

I thought Carly Phillips did a great job of bringing drug addiction and mental illness into the story without it being the primary focus of the story. Great Job!!!

When I started reading this book, I thought I would hate it. Previously, Juilian has been an all around jerk and has taken advantage of his friends, but more especially, he used Kendall. Never did I believe he would be able to redeem himself, but I was proven wrong in a very big way! Slowly he works his way back into her life and shows her how much he has changed. Kendall also shows Juilian that she is not the same woman he previously left broken, either. I love the fact that Carly Phillips inserts real life situations into her books, such as this one. Once again, another amazing book by Carly Phillips!

Carly Phillips...My #1 one-click purchase author. Going In Deep is book #4 in the billionaire bad boys series. These don't have to be read in order, but things definitely make a little more sense when you do.

Julian, a former addict, has burnt his bridges with his former partners and friends...And Kendall when he used her to try to get to her twin's boyfriend. Kendall, who has her own mental stability issues, is not sure she can trust not only him, but herself anymore. He slowly wins her over when he starts making amends with those he has hurt in the past. This book really called to me. It as kind of heartbreaking, but also relieving, to know that even with mental issues for Kendall, combined with addiction issues with Julian, that love can prevail and life goes on.

I am volunteering to leave a review for an ARC of this book.

I've been really looking forward to this one once I knew it was coming. Julian and Kendall's story I knew was going to be a good one. Julian has to really redeem himself because in the previous books in the series we saw his destructive behavior. Kendall has pulled herself from her own downward spiral to create a great life for herself. There is just one problem she can't get over Julian. Can Julian prove to Kendall he's a changed man. It was super easy for me to instantly like him once we get behind what caused Julian's downward spiral. Plus once you get to know the true Julian we see the truly compassionate guy he is. I think Carly Phillips did a great job writing what is a tough subject matter. She did the characters justice and with dignity. I thought for what both Kendall and Julian had overcome that the epilogue was the absolute perfect touch.

Some authors can not make a character redeemable but let me say Carly Phillips sure can. I didn’t think Julian Dane would ever be likable but I stand corrected. Julian realizes he used Kendall to get even with Kade. He get’s himself cleaned up from Drugs and using AA to keep clean.

When he and Kendall meet for the first time it did not go well not at all like Julian wanted. He keeps going and when they meet again he explains all the reasons why he acted the way he did and took responsibility for his actions. You start feeling sorry for him at this point.

Kendall has her own issues to work out with her bipolar. These two come together and try and live their lives like they need and want to.

A great read of second chances and honesty.

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book

WOW!! This second chance romance certainly packs an emotional punch. I was very interested to see how Kendall and Julian's story would play out after the last book. I knew it would be a great story. Going in Deep is definitely an apt title. I had no idea the story would be so emotional and raw, but boy am I thankful. I really enjoyed it!

There's a bit of something for everyone. This book is emotional, angsty, has family drama, steamy sex, and lots of puppy love. See what I mean? Something for everyone! LOL The main characters have faced very difficult circumstances, but both come out on top. It's a story of love, survival, and overcoming obstacles.

Kudos to Carly Phillips for writing another fantastic romance with depth. It's sure please her fans, old and new.

We were introduced to Julian and Kendall in the first book in the series and they definitely deserved their own story. Julian was a user and an all-in-all unlikeable guy when we first met him but through the glimpses we've seen in the other books the new Julian we meet in this book is still a surprise but not a total shock. Kendall is new and improved--she is in control of her life and she is learning to trust her instincts and live her life for herself. Kendall has never stopped loving Julian even after the way he used her to hurt Cade her brother-in-law, so when Julian shows back up she is open to getting to know the new and improved version. This story was a sweet one where two damaged people were given second chances in both life and love to get things right. I enjoyed this story and the love that overcame so many obstacles to win.

If you have been reading this series, you probably feel the same way I felt about Julian before reading this book. He was the greatest jerk in the world to Kendall and Kade. His drug habit, need for retaliation, and massive jerkness is not forgotten from different books. BUT WAIT! He has undergone an incredible change. He has come to term with his attitude and addiction. Now he is ready to complete his "twelve steps" and ask for forgiveness from everyone he hurt.

I enjoyed how the courtship between Kendall and Julian evolves. He shows he is learning and respectful of Kendall's feelings. Besides, adopting a rescue dog in need is the best way to start a new life for him!

I am voluntarily reviewing this book. Thank you to the author for sharing a copy of this book with me.

Julian and Kendall have a history, not a very good one, but a history.
After regretting his past mistakes when it comes to Kendall, Julian has gone straight. He’s going to AA, getting the support he needs from his mentor and really wanting Kendall back. Kendall, with her bipolar disorder is now on the right meds and is doing great, until Julian walks back into her life. She’s never forgotten him and how well they clicked.
They each want a second chance but Kendall’s family may stand in the way. With the right amount of determination, proof of change, they may just get their HEA.
A must read. A great series and even though you can read this as a stand alone, their history is explained in previous books.
Would highly recommend this book. Of course, Carly wrote it. Need I say more?

What a great ending to a wonderful series! This is the final book in Carly Phillips Billionaire Bad Boys series, and we pick up with Kendall and Julian. Kendall and Julian have history. Kendall suffers from a mental illness and Julian is a recovering addict, having met in a bad time in their lives, their relationship didn't work out.
They meet up again, and both are doing much better. Julian knows he hurt and betrayed her in the past, but hopes she can forgive him. Can they both overcome their past and rekindle a romance?
This is a great story about overcoming and believing in second chances. Carly Phillips knows how to write amazing romance stories, and this one doesn't disappoint. Its written with heart and love that is truly a must read for any happy ever after fan.

Addiction turned him into a person he didn't like, but he only realized it when he broke the heart of the woman he inadvertently fell in love with, Kendall. Now as she tries to pick up the pieces of her life and live a life filled with purpose and peace he has come back to claim her as his. He has a lot to prove.
A second chance romance that proves people can change and make a new. We met Julian and Kendall in the previous books, but in this book we get to the heart of what and who they really are. Two people that are meant to be together but have to prove it not only to them selves but the people they hold dear to their hearts.
A fun read that will have you both giggling and crying but above all will have you rooting for Julian to win the heart of his Kendall.

Julian Dane used and abused Kendall Parker's love but, regrets his actions and wants another chance with Kendall. After having her heart broken, the last thing Kendall wants is anything to do with Julian. Julian goes out of his way to prove to Kendall that he's a different man, a better man but, will Kendall risk losing her family in order to be with Julian?
I couldn't wait to get my hands on this book but, for some reason I couldn't relate to the main characters. Going into this book, knowing what Julian did I wasn't sure if I could like him, if he could be redeemed but, he was in a very realistic way.This wasn't my favorite book but, overall I liked it. I liked that addiction and mental illness was portrayed realistic manner. This was a good conclusion to this series.

Julian Dane is the baddest boy of the Billionaire Bad Boys. He pulled some things in earlier books that really had me questioning if he was going to be redeemable. I have to say this book definitely laid all of those fears to rest. The brief glances we had of Julian and Kendall Parker in earlier books really had me hoping they were going to get their own book some day. I love that we saw their past through Julian's eyes and the way he owned those mistakes and grew from them. There was so much going on that we didn't know about and this book really delved into all of that. I loved seeing Julian and Kendall making a fresh start, plus the way their real lives factored into all of that as well. It was a great way to wrap up their stories.

Bruised by life and their own bad choices they needed a wake up call. Instead they found each other. Ms. Phillips certainly knows how to put the moves on a heart. She informs, entertains and doesn't pull any punches in this story of second chances. Kendall and Julian found each other at their darkest moments. Lies, manipulation and heartbreak ensued. After years of darkness, that one moment forced them into the light and changed two broken people in a positive way. Can time, distance and positivity, give them a chance at happiness? Going In Deep, is a triumphant testament of what the power of love can do. In the most tragic of circumstances it has the power to heal. Kendall and Julian are my favorite Billionaire romance to date.

This is a good book about second chances. Julian Dane had messed up his life with drugs and alcohol and in the process hurt someone he loved, Kendall Parker. Unfortunately because of some of his problems he did the wrong things to get back at his best friend and the guys who stated a company without him. He is now sober and has been in AA for awhile and has a great sponsor. Julian's sponsor knows Julian still feels bad about Kendall especially after he found out about her bipolar disorder. His sponsor encourages him to see Kendall to apologize and try to make things better between the two. Of course Kendall doesn't want anything to do with him when he first contacts her. You will need to read the book to see what happens.

We finally get the conclusion to Julian and Kendall's story! I knew it wasn't over but I had no idea how it could work out. Carly did not disappoint. I really enjoyed seeing how Kendall and Julian had each grown and changed on their own before they started exploring the possibility of a relationship again. I like how Kendall carefully considered things and consciously decided to see who Julian became rather than only using her knowledge of him before he changed, and that they didn't just rush into it.

I also enjoyed seeing Kendall come into her own and standing up for herself with her sister and Kade - they mean well but it was good for Kendall to learn to trust herself.

Overall, I think its a great book!

Going in Deep by Carly Phillips is a well-written sexy read about second chances.

Julian used Kendall, in the past. Seriously…the guy was a giant a-hole! Because of this Kendall put some walls up, in order to guard her heart. Now he’s back to make amends. Will Julian be able to prove to Kendall that he is a new man and more importantly, the man for her?

Let me just say, that this cover is HOT! I want it on my bookshelf. Even though the cover is smokin’, I’m excited to say that the written words inside are even hotter. Julian and Kendall are two characters, you don’t want to miss. I will say that you should read the other books before this one. But don’t worry, this series is a 5 star read!

Kendall gets her story!! We've already been introduced to Lexie's twin in a previous book, but you sometimes want more from the backgrounds characters, especially when some angst is in the backstory. Julian Dane has to hit rock bottom before he could get his life back on track, he's made horrid choices that hurt many people, not least of which is Kendall. Forgiveness and growth are the mainstays of this book. Take some time to find how two broken people can heal each other's hurts and be the safe space we all need.
Thank you Carly for taking on mental illness head on. It's still holding a stigma in the real world. You didn't shy away from the realities that both addiction and unmedicated bi popular people face.

A heartwarming story about two people who can't seem to stand each other but with some life encountering changes, they end up falling for each other every step of the way like they never expected. I loved the chemistry and attraction between Sheridan and Beckley. Definitely worth the readI loving the single dad stories :-)

Beck has been a single dad from a young age and had to take care of English when her mother dropped her off on his doorstep. When he meets Sheridan, it doesn't go as planned and she thinks he is an arrogant father but the more time they seem to spend with each other, her thoughts about him seem to change. And when Beck does her a proposition, nothing will ever be the same again...
