In Sarah Sundin's novel Anchor in the Storm we meet Lillian Avery who is the new pharmacist at Dixon's Drugs in Boston. With her prosthetic leg she finds that working with her crabby boss proves to be more difficult than she first anticipated. Because of her handicap he doesn't think she is qualified for the job. After receiving prescriptions requesting large quantities of phenobarbital, a habit-forming sleeping drug she becomes suspicious and starts investigating.
Arch Vandenberg is an officer on the Ettinger, a Navy destroyer. After having trouble with drowsy sailors he begins to investigate what's going on. He and Lillian join forces to figure out who is involved with this dangerous drug ring.
The more they find out the more dangerous it becomes. Can they solve the case before anyone gets hurt? And will they be able to trust each other enough to share their darkest secrets?
This is an amazing book, I loved every second of it. Anchor in the Storm has it all romance, humor, suspense, and action. It hooked me from the beginning and I ended up almost pulling an all-nighter reading, it was so great. I've never read any of Sarah Sundin's books before but after reading this one I will definitely read more. She took a real life condition and put it into a captivating story that will make you laugh and cry right along with the characters. I sincerely recommend this book.
I received this book from Revell in exchange for my honest review.
