Review - Anchored by Christine DePetrillo

ANCHORED is a broken alpha, healing hearts, rescue story with ocean views and a heat that has nothing to do with the California sunshine.


The only thing Colin Hayes wants to do is dive with his Navy team. After a rescue mission leaves him with a leg that's no good for swimming anymore, that dream is dead. He may as well be dead too. Living in a small town in California across the street from his sister and being stuck running a marina fail to provide the excitement or the purpose his former life did. His future promises to be an endless stream of long, boring days. How will he survive?

Faith Brenton lost her best friend and teaching colleague to an accident. The joy she felt being an educator is buried under grief and extinguished by her administrator at Maplehaven High School in Vermont who doesn't approve of her alternative teaching methods. Wanting to shake things up a bit, Faith enters a magazine contest and wins. The prize? A year-long adventure by sailboat. Perhaps she can reset her life with fair winds and full sails.

When Faith's boat sinks near Colin's marina, Colin dives in to save her. What he doesn't expect is to be saved too.

Can two souls adrift anchor each other with love?

Set in K. Bromberg's Everyday Heroes World, Anchored is a story of two people overcoming losses that have changed them. An injury left Colin unable to continue being a Navy diver. In comparison, running a marina leaves him feeling as he has no purpose anymore. Faith, struggling with the loss of her best friend, is on a sail to try and reset her life. Before they know it, a mishap with the boat leaves Faith in danger and Colin rushing in to rescue her. This chance meeting may give them what they need to deal with their losses and forge a new path in life. Will that include each other? You'll have to read to find out!



Christine DePetrillo can often be found hugging trees, conversing with dragonflies, and walking barefoot through sun-warmed soil. She finds joy in listening to the wind, bathing in moonlight, and breathing in the fragrances of things that bloom. If she had her way, the sky would be the only roof over her head.

Her love of nature seeps into every story she tells. As does her obsession with bearded mountain men who build, often smell like sawdust, and know how to cherish the women they love. Today she writes tales meant to make you laugh, maybe make you sweat, and definitely make you believe in the power of love.

She lives in Rhode Island and occasionally Vermont with her husband and her cat who defend her fiercely from all evils.
