Review:   
I have received this book as part o f a blog tour in exchange of an honest review.
Maura has a bright future in front of her and for a long time that seems enough for her. That is until, Nate, the man who broke her heart and who she could never quite forget enters her life again.
Maura is the main character in the book.  She’s a successful young woman, just about to start law school. The only problem in her life is the fact she has had her heart broken in the past and has never found someone she felt the same way about as she did for Nate.  She’s a good character, strong, and definitely a good narrator.
I also really liked Nate. Yes, he made a few mistakes and, yes, he should’ve man-up before and told Maura how he felt but I still couldn’t stop wishing things would go his way.
I found this story this be very interesting. I liked the flashbacks that allowed the readers to better understand what had happened between Maura and Nate in the past.
All in all, I really enjoyed Undertow and thought it was an interesting and different story. The book is well-written and the characters grow a lot as the plot develops.
If you enjoy a good contemporary romance, you should give this book a try!
