The Deepest End of Love by Lisina Coney

3.0

Happy Pub day to Deepest End of Love! This was the third book in the Brightest Light series, and I was super appreciative Netgalley gave me an early read! This series follows a mom, sister, and daughter on their journey through abuse and love. All three books have a large age gap, and books two and three have the much appealing, ~forbidden love~ trope thing going. This book touches alot on the positive impact counseling centers have on children’s mental health. It’s a nice wrap of up the series, and was great to see Lila’s character transformation.

Lila’s ultimate goal is to be a youth counselor. She’s finishing up her masters program, in desperate need of an internship in order to graduate, and just had a nasty breakup with her boyfriend. Reed, 12 years her senior, a professor at her school, and her parents’ good friend (as I said before very forbidden) offers her a job at his youth center. It’s a dream for her, but it’s super difficult to ignore the attraction her and Reed clearly have for eachother. Will they be able to keep things professional and resist the temptation? Definitely not!
