(Release date April 16th)
Twenty-seven year old Ocean Hawthorne thought he’d known loss and pain when his twin sister Stormie died. It was his fault the world would no longer see her beautiful smile or hear her captivating laughter. The former world champion in the vicious world of MMA fighting thought he’d been through the worst and has now carried that guilt and pain with him since.
Then he met Livie Acosta. The moment he laid his eyes on the exotic beauty, he was hooked. In that split second of looking into her wild and hurt eyes, his heart began to beat again. He knew then that he would never be able to let her go… but was that the right thing for him to do? Because yet again, Ocean found himself surrounded by a familiar darkness, a pain so strong that even breathing hurt, and living felt impossible. He’d pushed too far in the effort to love and help her, and now… now he didn’t know if he’d ever see her again. Lawrence Hawthorne has been through the ringer when it came to hurt and disappointment, but nothing could have prepared him for the possibility of losing Livie.
He’d just found her and now—well, now he didn’t know what to think. To him, Livie was more than just a girl, more than just a friend. To Law, Livie was someone he needed to help and protect, even from herself, and he’d failed that simple task. Will the Hawthorne cousins who have sworn to protect Livie survive her selfish act, or will they crumble, yet again?

Read on for my review....
I read the first book of the Ocean series and fell in love straight away with Law. i honestly remember wanting him and Livie to get together but then we meet Law, who is just who she needs. They are compatible in every sense of the way, which sometimes is bad for these too, who have deep issues to deal with, to be together. but Law and Livie and even Law balance each other out.
The only thing in this book i didnt like or agree with was Oceans behavior during Livies recovery. he was selfish, spineless and completely an idiot. He could have made her situation worse. As Livie has issues with people not wanting her and him doing what he done, to me that would have been a cause to spiral out of control, but she stayed strong. This book must have been so hard to write, to grab hold of all that emotion and to write it in such an inspiring way, was astonishing. She captures everything in it. The feelings ALL characters have. I felt it all, and with books with such a strong issue to write about M.A.DeOlmos has done an amazing job.
I really do admire her hard work and dedication she put into this book. It's paid off.
So glad she gave me the opportunity to read and review a ARC of Oceans Submerged.
5* Well done
