I used his body to forget the pain until the line we drew was buried under muddied water.

I used to believe in three things:
That true love only existed once, heartbreak couldn’t kill you, and everything happened for a reason.

But if that were true, I never would have watched Daniel McCray get married to another woman, have a beautiful baby girl, and pass away before my very eyes.

Everything I believed was a lie.

Until I met them.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 𝟓/𝟓 𝓞𝓿𝓮𝓻𝓪𝓵𝓵 𝓡𝓪𝓽𝓲𝓷𝓰: Love triangle, angsty romance, love and lost, May to December romance, Into The Clear Water by B. Celeste, has a little bit of EVERYTHING! An intensely emotional, angsty love triangle romance that will leave you with all the feels! Are you ready for an emotional roller coaster? Because that is what you will get with Into The Clear Water! In Into The Clear Water we follow along with Piper as she struggles to care for six-year-old Ainsley while also trying to complete her education, heal her still broken heart, and find love.

Six years ago Piper’s life was turned upside down when Danny, Piper’s best friend since childhood and the man she thought she was in love with died in a fatal accident and left her guardianship of his daughter, Ainsley.

❝𝐷𝑎𝑛𝑛𝑦 𝑐𝑜𝑢𝑙𝑑𝑛’𝑡 𝑙𝑜𝑣𝑒 𝑚𝑒, 𝐻𝑒 𝑘𝑛𝑒𝑤 𝑖𝑡. 𝐼 𝑘𝑛𝑒𝑤 𝑖𝑡. 𝐵𝑢𝑡 ℎ𝑒 𝑔𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝑚𝑒 𝑠𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑏𝑜𝑑𝑦 𝑤ℎ𝑜 𝑐𝑜𝑢𝑙𝑑.❞

Piper has carried the guilt of their last moments every single day. Never truly getting over the loss. Now she has not one but two men vying for her attention. But it’s not just her she has to think about, it’s Ainsley too.

B. Celeste is a phenomenal author. I have been completely obsessed with her words ever since I read The Truth About Heartbreak, and she continues to blow me away time after time. I have no idea how she does what she does but coming from someone who very RARELY cries while reading, the tears just continue to roll as I read her words. Into The Clear Water was an amazing read and the only thing that could have made it better was dual POV, but obviously, with the love triangle aspect, it would have been too telling.

💙 (𝓗) 𝓗𝓮𝓻𝓸: We have not one but TWO leading men in Into The Clear Water. Two very different men. Two very different circumstances but both are extremely important to the story, and to Piper’s, what I would call recovery.

Easton Wyatt is Piper’s sexy, broody, tattooed roommate with a troubled past. Easton is a quiet guy who doesn’t say much, but his actions scream what he can’t say. I am #TeamEaston ALL THE WAY! The way he is with Ainsley is what did me in. He adored his little Dudette and she adored him.

Carter Ford was best friends with Danny and Piper’s brother. He was also Piper’s first crush who is now her professor. Carter is older, dependable, understanding, and ready to settle down.

Two very, very different men. But both are willing to give Piper the world. But only one is met to be her world.

❤️ (𝓱) 𝓗𝓮𝓻𝓸𝓲𝓷𝓮: Piper Montgomery is an amazing heroine. Although there were several moments where I wanted to beg her to open her dang eyes, the love that shined through for Ainsley… She may not biologically be hers’s but Ainsley is her daughter and she fought tooth and nail for that little girl. Everything she did was for Ainsley and I admired Piper more for it. Into The Clear Water was really Piper’s story. Don’t get me wrong, we learned a bit about the leading men as well, but Piper and her journey to self-discovery, forgiveness, and moving on was the true journey.

🔥🔥🔥 𝟑/𝟓 𝓢𝓽𝓮𝓪𝓶 𝓕𝓪𝓬𝓽𝓸𝓻: The steam was a little low on this one for me. Don’t get me wrong there are surely some “melt your Kindle” steamy scenes but the book was more emotional than spicy if that makes sense.

🌪 𝓒𝓵𝓲𝓯𝓯𝓱𝓪𝓷𝓰𝓮𝓻 𝓦𝓪𝓻𝓷𝓲𝓷𝓰: Piper’s story wraps up beautifully. Although I’m not going to spoil it, I will say that she winds up with EXACTLY who I thought she should from the very beginning, although I hope one day the other man gets his own happy ending… Piper was able to come to terms with her past and look forward to the future. Although there isn’t a cliffhanger, we do get a glimpse of Ainsley and Milo. I have a feeling I am going to adore their story and that Milo is going to be one heck of a leading man one day…

I can’t believe we’re even having this conversation. “You’re not the boss of me, Easton. I’m sorry if I hurt your feelings about your friend doing the piercing, but it’s not the end of the world. And it would be money all the same if you let me pay. Why are you being so stubborn about this?”

“Not the boss of you,” he repeats, a slow smirk curving his features. His body turns to face me, towering over me when he straightens to full height. “I seem to recall that differently, especially when we’re in your bedroom and you’re begging me to bury my cock deeper inside you. Hmm. Have you forgotten how much you moan my name when I lick you, or how you pull my hair to go faster, or plead for me to fuck you just the way I know you like?”

My thighs press together as heat sweeps over my body. He knows what he’s doing because he chuckles like this amuses him. But I don’t find his mood swings funny. “What does that have to do with anything?”

He leans closer, brushing his lips against my ear as he speaks. “I should have been the one to give you what you wanted today because I know what you want. Just like I know what you sound like when you come, what it feels like when you squeeze my cock with that tight pussy of yours, and how loud you get when you don’t have to hold back. You want freedom, Piper. You always have.”

When he draws back, I’m stunned speechless. He takes advantage of it and shoots me a wink, causing my lips to part. He’s never winked before. And it’s … wow. Between those words and that gesture, I’m not sure I can properly fathom a response, and he knows it. Which is why, this time, he walks away first.
