About the Book
Book: Christmas on Breakers Point
Author: Chautona Havig and Christa DelSorbo
Genre: Christian Contemporary Romance
Release date: September 1, 2020
One man’s last Christmas wish might change two lives forever.
Mallory Barrows has one last Christmas with her uncle. She’s determined to make it the best one he’s ever had.
She knows when she asks what he wants as his final gift, it won’t be a tie or a new mug. He won’t need those where he’s going, and he’s quite happy about that.
Mallory just didn’t think he wanted a miracle wrapped in paper and tied with a shiny red bow!
In a twist on a “last chance romance,” Christmas on Breakers Point introduces a new series featuring five islands, six authors, and a boatload of happily-ever-afters.
Christmas on Breakers Point is the introductory book to the Independence Islands Series.
The Independence Island Series: Beach listens aren’t just for summer anymore.
One of my favorite ways to read books, is to not read them at all! I know – shocker! Being a single mom, and the multi-tasker that I am, I often turn my kindle onto the “read-aloud” option *gasp* – so I was very excited to review the audio book this time! Don’t get me wrong, I’ve gotten use to the robot voice reading to me, but Christa DelSorbo really brought this story to life!
“Breakers Point” is the first in a new series, but it’s not your usual lighthearted Christmas story, You’ll want to grab the tissues for this one, as you read how Mallory helps her uncle Ben through the last stage of cancer right before Christmas. He has one last Christmas wish, to see his dear friend Joanie return to Christ.
I really enjoyed the conversations between Mallory and Uncle Bud, because they help you refocus on Christ and the joy we can have in Him – even during grief. I also enjoyed seeing Joanie come back to Christ, and the many conversations they had with her. I loved that these two topics were discussed in this book, as I think it’s something we all struggle with in life. There is so much packed in this little book that will have you examining your own life, and giving you biblical examples on how to handle them. Although this book isn’t your traditional Christmas romance, as the cover would lead you to believe – it’s about a greater love story – about God’s love for us.

I completely relate to your comment about reading by not reading! I definitely tend to listen to more books than I read. It’s one of the reasons I became a narrator. There are SO many great books out there not being “read” because folks would rather listen. Thanks for listening and for your kind words. Blessings!
