Book, Chapter, and Vows

Falling in love with Benjamin wasn’t in the plan, but Mallory finds she’s all but lost her head and her heart after two and a half years of banter, memories, and now shared books.

But when her ex-fiance (does it count if it was just for a few hours?) shows up right in the middle of a writing project with Benjamin, the guy manages to ruin her happiness… again.

Benjamin has been keeping one tiny part of him back from Mallory–just the one thing that’ll repel her for good.
So when the ex-boyfriend-slash-fiance shows up, and things look serious again, he takes a giant step back and prays he can keep his heart intact in the process.

They’re clearly meant for each other. God obviously has a plan. So what’s it going to take for Mallory and Benjamin to work things out and get those vows made?

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

The Independence Islands Series: beach reads aren’t just for summer anymore.

My thoughts: For those, like me, who have read many of the Independence Island series, it was so nice to finally read more of Mallory's story! I love how she combined the things she loved into the book mobile on the island. Just as things start to look like they are on track towards a happy ending, her ex-fiancé shows up and throws her relationship with Benjamin off. Christa DelSorbo does a wonderful job of bringing the characters to life with her acting. I enjoyed how the story was enhanced with listening to it. This is a wonderful story, filled with fun quotes, memorable characters, and one of a kind situations! I have enjoyed the chance to visit an island through this story.

I received this book from Celebrate Lit. This is my honest review.

About the Narrator

Speaking Life into Story

Queen of the one-eyebrow quirk, Christa DelSorbo auditioned for the role of Tarzan’s mom and has the photos to prove she ended up as the only cast member in a literal cast. These days, they keep her stuck in a box with a ball on a stick and only feed her when she reads another chapter of another fabulous book. She loves every minute. Or so they tell her. *eyebrow slowly raises *
