A Digging Deep Story Drake Park has a complicated life. As a gay male midwife, he's used to raising eyebrows. Add Crohn's disease and things get interestingâor not, considering the sad state of his love life. Experience has taught Drake that most men are fair-weather sailors when it comes to handling his conditionâgone for dust when things get rough. Staying healthy is a full-time job without adding in any heartbreak, so a little loneliness is a small price to pay. If he says it often enough he might even believe it. One thing for sure, the cop who arrested him isn't about to change that. Caleb Ashton does nothave a complicated life. A senior detective with the Whangarei Police Department, he likes his job and is good at it. He works hard and plays hard, happy to enjoy as many men as he can while he's still young enoughâor at least he was. These days he feels adrift for the first time in his life, and the only thing sparking his interestâa certain prickly young midwife. But can Drake find enough faith to risk opening his heart again? And does Caleb have what it takes to cope with the challenges Drake's condition presents?… (mehr)

Wow – I am not sure what I expected when I read the blurb on this one – take 1 - cop, add in 1-mid wife with Crohn's disease, and set them in New Zealand, but whatever I expected - it was not what I got. Hot, sweet, funny, and down to earth; probably the best contemporary romance I have read in a while. Absolutely wonderful characters with real-world fears, needs, drives, and a story line that works on so many levels. ( )

Well this was pretty amazing, but it was a very hard journey for Caleb and Drake to make it work. I wasn’t a fan of how Caleb was treated by everyone based on a general unknown (him not having had a relationship before), and frankly Drake was quite an asshole who only won points by being a midwife and dealing with a horrible chronic illness (I’m glad that I’ve read a memoir about Crohn’s). But these two ended up together somehow, and it was great how it all unfolded. ( )

I honestly have to say, I haven't read a Jay Hogan book yet that I haven't loved! And this was no exception.

Drake and Caleb are one of those couples you don't want to leave. One where you want to know exactly what they will be doing for the rest of their lives. In other words, those special characters that grab hold of you and create a place for themselves in your heart. Well, at least that's the way it works for me, lol.

They seem like an unlikely couple. Drake is dealing with his Crohn's disease and the lifelong effects that it will be having on his body. He has been burnt before by a boyfriend who couldn't deal with all the "drama" Crohn's disease can bring. Caleb is a self-confessed man slut who has never been in a relationship before. Seems like a match made in hell, right? Well, as they say, anything worth having is worth fighting for...

Jay Hogan manages to bring her characters to life every time. They are always interesting and engaging and suck you right into their lives and relationships. It's no wonder she's become an auto-buy author for me! ( )

Let's get one thing out there first. One of the MCs has Crohn’s disease. This is not a prop to make the MC 'more interesting', it's not mentioned in passing then ignored for the rest of the book. The author doesn't shy away from the problems of this condition in discussions or in actions. It isn't something that is conveniently forgotten at sex scenes and yet despite the inevitable talks and angst those scenes are sexy, considerate and tender.


Drake is prickly and has been hurt before and he's quick to use his condition (justifiably) to keep prospective lovers at arms length. You can feel his pain, his frustration with dealing with this condition every damn day. Forgetting for even a moment is not an option and even a simple meal with family requires military precision. Caleb is a sweetheart. An arsehole cop when we first meet him, and a commitment-phobe to boot, Caleb takes on the challenge of wooing Drake. Turns out Caleb is a thoughtful wooer and a previously undiscovered romantic.

Excellent writing and a lovely tale. Highly recommended. ( )
