From the Back Cover

Semper paratus. Always ready.

 

Caddie Lyle strives to live up to the motto of the Coast Guard—and her father’s legacy—as she carries out rescue missions. But when she discovers other career opportunities and meets Guardsman Aven Holland, her heart begins to pull her in different directions.

 

Aven is drawn to Caddie, too, but their duties allow little time together, and he wonders if a relationship is even possible for them. Meanwhile, a commercial fisherman with a grudge against Aven heads for trouble, drawing Caddie and Aven into his web as they try to expose his crime.

 

As danger from Alaska’s coast and a secret from the past threaten their newfound love, will they be ready to trust God for a possible future together?

 

“Mightier than the thunder of the great waters, mightier than the breakers of the sea—the Lord on high is mighty.” Psalm 93:4

4.0 out of 5 stars Sweet but a hard road ahead!

Two Coast Guards on two different ships going out at two different times - what are the odds that they will fall in love and build a life together? A lot of you truly found the one you want to spend the rest of your life with. Though this wasn't a traditional courtship or marriage - them having to be apart so much - the story is still sweet. I think the two will indeed make it work.

The mystery in this story was a bit confusing at times - but I think it was just me. I had trouble following all the ranks and the final shoot-out scene.

It's a sweet story that I would recommend.

I bought this book on discount and it's been sitting in my kindle for a while. I decided to read it today and completed it in a few hours. It was a nice story that rolled along calmly, almost too calmly. No real climax to the story. Good and clean with a strong Christian perspective which was nice and not overly done. If you need a good relaxing story to occupy your time than this will do.

5.0 out of 5 stars A tribute to men & women of the Coast Guard
Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2015

This is a clean, Christian romance. I love it when a story is well researched and competently written. This is a fast and exciting read. It amazes me how some authors can pack so much into a short novel. This story involves a man and woman in the Coast Guard, both are officers on two different ships and both are stationed in the same city in Alaska. Their lives cross paths both on duty and off. The setting is vivid with crashing waves and icy seas. They rescue sailors, catch bad guys and still have time for romance. The characters are clearly defined to the point that you feel like you know them and are proud of their accomplishments. The Christian thread is realistic and unapologetic without being overwhelming or preachy. There are some minor editing errors. This book has earned its five stars and its place in my reread collection. I highly recommend this novel.

4.0 out of 5 stars Coast Guard Christian romance
Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2013

Caddie and Aven are both in the Coast Guard serving on different ships. Both are of similar rank and career-minded but Caddie is beginning to wonder if she will stay in the service after her tour is up. Both are Christian and come to be good friends and a romance begins.

The Coast Guard setting was unique. I didn't know much about what the Coast Guard did before reading this book. I didn't realize the difficulty those serving in the Coast Guard had in maintaining a relationships with a friend on another ship with a different schedule or with a spouse on the mainland. There was also discussion of the difficulties for women serving on a ship. A lot of the story details how Caddie and Lyle help solve a smuggling and drug dealing case with the assistance of the crews of both ships. There was also a lot of information on the beauty of Alaska and its wildlife. Dog sledding was covered as well as Aven's family hosted a race and raised sled dogs.

It was a good read but ended a bit abruptly. At least it was a happy ending.

This book had a captivating storyline and the characters were very believable. I especially enjoyed the fact that the female character wasn't "forced" to make a decision between her career or marriage, but she was dependent on God's leading and willing to go or do what God led her to do.

3.0 out of 5 stars Confusing and Slow
Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2013

My two complaints are I felt the details about a coast guard's job was sometimes too detailed and thus confusing. Also the romance between Caddie and Aven was slow and overstretched and then in the end it was rushed.
Otherwise i loved the way the book shows how a career can affect relationships.
