Sarah Sundin’s ‘Anchor in the Storm’ All Hands on Deck Giveaway


Anchor in the Storm Sarah Sundin
In a time of sacrifice, what price can one put on true love? Pharmacist Lillian Avery and Ensign Archer Vandenberg are about to find out in Sarah Sundin's new book, Anchor in the Storm. During the darkest days of the war, Arch's destroyer hunts German U-boats in vain as the submarines sink dozens of merchant ships along the East Coast. Still shaken by battles at sea, Arch notices his men also struggle with their nerves—and with drowsiness. Could there be a link to the large prescriptions Lillian has been filling? As the danger rises on both land and sea, the two must work together to answer that question. But can Arch ever earn Lillian's trust and affection?

About the book:

Anchor in the Storm (Revell, May 2016)

One plucky female pharmacist + one high-society naval officer = romance-and danger

For plucky Lillian Avery, America's entry into World War II means a chance to prove herself as a pharmacist in Boston. The challenges of her new job energize her. But society boy Ensign Archer Vandenberg's attentions only annoy---even if he is her brother's best friend.

During the darkest days of the war, Arch's destroyer hunts German U-boats in vain as the submarines sink dozens of merchant ships along the East Coast. Still shaken by battles at sea, Arch notices his men also struggle with their nerves---and with drowsiness. Could there be a link to the large prescriptions for sedatives Lillian has filled? The two work together to answer that question, but can Arch ever earn Lillian's trust and affection?

Sarah Sundin brings World War II to life, offering readers an intense experience they won't soon forget.

My Review:
I LOVE this new series from Sarah and I am so looking forward to book #3!  We were introduced to Arch and Lillian both in the first book and now they are the main characters in "Anchor in the Storm."  Lillian has had to cope with a disability for most of her life and she is determined that it is not going to hold her back or the fact that she is a woman.  Lillian moves to a new city to work as a pharmacist in the midst of resistance, but with the war going on there are few men to hold down these positions.  Arch has grown up in a life of luxury; however this does not mean he is living a worry free and easy life.  Arch is facing struggles at sea with his personal concerns but also some thing going on with his men.  This is such a great story filled with romance and intrigue.  I found myself immediately pulled right back into the story and into the characters' lives as I was eager to discover more of Arch's story as well as Lillian's as I was intrigued by them in the previous novel.  Sarah does a great job of tying together historical details and bring this time period to life as the country is getting pulled into the war and tensions and fear is high throughout each home.  This book (and series) is a must-read for historical fiction fans and especially for those whom enjoy reading about the World War II era.
