Anchor in the Storm is the second book in the Waves of
Freedom series. The first book is called
Through Waters Deep.
Lillian has taken a job in Boston as a pharmacist. There aren’t many female pharmacists,
especially ones that only have one leg.
Lillian meets her brother’s rich friend, Arch, and they join forces to
solve the mystery of the high amounts of sedatives that seem to be making it
onto Arch’s ship. She’s been hurt in the
past by men and doesn’t want anything to do with Arch until it becomes clear
they can just be friends.
Arch comes from a wealthy family, and as a result, is wary
of anyone who could possibly be a gold digger.
Lillian is the first one that seems to want nothing to do with him, and it’s
a refreshing change for him. Since she’s
the little sister of his best friend, he’s warned to step carefully, but Arch
wants to be near her. She seems
different from the rest, but earning her trust is hard.
Lillian and Arch both have secrets that have caused them to
guard their heart closely. As the
problems on the ship increase, Arch and Lillian spend more time together. They lower their defenses, trusting one
another with deep secrets. They go on a
tumultuous journey, getting to the point where they let go of their fears, open
their hearts, then fall back into old thought patterns only to realize their
mistake. It’s a great read with many
wonderful characters.
Jim and Mary, the characters from the first book show up a
lot in this book. Mary is Lilian’s
roommate, and Jim is on the same ship as Arch.
The origins of their relationship are mentioned in a way you won’t feel
lost if you haven’t read the first one, but I liked that one as well. The third book in this series is scheduled to
come out early 2017 and is called When Tides Turn. It’s about Dan Avery and Quintessa. Both are characters that have shown up in
minor roles thus far, but I’m looking forward to their story! Good Book!
*I received a copy of this book from Revell through
NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
