Eve Swango and Tommy Baca belong to each other. Always have. Always will. It's been years since Eve followed Tommy into the wild, subterranean depths of a New Mexico cave. Years since she realized they shared the same passionate soul, the same curiosity about that hidden world below. Tommy, intense, beautiful--hers--became her past, her present and her future. But something within Eve won't allow her to marry Tommy, no matter how often he asks. No matter how deeply they love... As the years surrender to time, Tommy and Eve move in and out of each other's lives, finding joy and sadness in equal measure. Each must learn, does learn, that love comes in many guises--and in the end it's the only thing that counts.
I'm a romance reader. I love master story teller Margot Early. And still I was a little worried when I picked up Early's The Depth of Love. Since it was from the new Harlequin Everlasting line, I just wasn't sure about it. How could a book so short could live up to my expectations for a life long love story? I'm so glad I gave this story a chance. The Depth of Love just might be my new favorite Early novel.

Besides loving to go caving, Eve Swango and Tommy Baca love one another. However, over the years though she did make passionate love in a cave, Eve has refused to marry Tommy, as she fears marriage would destroy their friendship because Swango females do not stay married. Tommy married and divorced twice including her sister as Eve remains his one true love. Time moves on and the pair goes caving less then they used to. However Tommy knows he still loves Eve and decides to try one last time to get her to exploring the subterranean as his wife. Eve has always said no to his myriad of proposals, but fears she may never get another chance to go underground with the man she loves if she rejects his plea. THE DEPTH OF LOVE is tested with this sleazier much more complex version of When Harry Met Sally as Eve's mom has some ethical issues as she seduced Tommy. The story line centers on the changing relationship between the lead couple although the one constant is their love for one another. Though some readers will be turned off by the Swango females, fans of a character driven contemporary romance will enjoy learning All About Eve. Harriet Klausner
