Author: Kari Trumbo

Genre: Christian Contemporary Romance

Release date: September 27, 2022

Despite a career in logistics, Courtney is unprepared to get lost at sea…

A fated trip to the docks with her closest pal Annie leads to disaster. Ship Captain Lex Ford agrees to take Courtney and two of her friends on what was to be a quick trip to test a new boat. A dangerous storm traps them against a reef, damaging communications and stranding them at sea.

Lex knew this was a bad idea…

He hated having people on his ship with him. Ever since his partner left, he doesn’t share his life with anything but the seagulls. So, when Courtney’s friend Rafe offers him a deal on a new boat, he’d rather ignore the offer.

His heart isn’t ready for how he feels about Courtney, and watching her brave the elements after the storm makes him want to protect her. But the last woman he loved just walked away. And what about their age gap? He’s far older than her. The Lord is good at turning bad situations for good, but can even He make this mess right?

This Breakers Head novel is Kari Trumbo’s final novel in the Independence Islands Series featuring five islands, six authors, and a boatload of happily-ever-afters.

My Review

Kari Trumbo has made a wonderful addition to the Breakers Head portion from the Independence Islands series, Blessings in the Bargain. I really enjoyed this fun and entertaining book. I loved getting to know Courtney and Lex. It was nice to read a story that includes real life issues that helps make me feel closer to the characters. This was a wonderful tale that has the beauty of faith element to it.

Blessings in the Bargain Vows four hasand a half stars. Readers who enjoy reading quick, sweet, and clean romantic fiction will most definitely want to read this one. I look forward to reading the next installment from the Breakers Head series, Returning to Breakers by Rachel Skatvold.

I received a digital copy of Blessings in the Bargain from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
