This finale of the series is incredible. I loved the narrative. I also liked the growth between the main characters and seeing how far they've come from where they started. It just hits right in the feelers. And this nailed it on the second chance romance which is a favorite of mine. I also liked that this author clearly demonstrated the forgiveness and redemption component of the story. This I think was essential to the overall narrative because the main characters had history and some things were kept secret. So when they come full circle you get to see that change happen as you read their journey. It is messy, real, believable and relatable. And a beautifully written well flushed out story. I cannot not recommend this more than enough.

Courtney and Brock complete the Bearing Sea Crabbers Series and I am sad to see the end. I've loved them all and learned so much about the dangerous work crabbing is! This book was my favorite of the set, I loved both Brock and Courtney so much, and Hope was just so special. With the way these two broke up 13 years ago when they were both so young, the tragic circumstances, my heart bled for them. The fact that neither of them could ever move on exemplified how deep and true their love was. They were indeed true soul mates.

But that in no way means there wasn't hurt or pain when Courtney returns home after never reaching out. She only comes because her father has died and she wants to help her mother. Brock wants nothing to do with her except answers. However, they still have a strong connection and chemistry that neither can deny, no matter how much they fight it. And of course there's Hope.

I loved these two clashing and then melding together as they work through their lives. And as always, the beautiful scenery of Alaska is shining through. The ending is great, the Epilogue superb except one little cliffy I want to know the answer to. Maybe an Extended Epilogue Jess? Since there are no more books? Please?

Redeem is Courtney and Brock’s second chance at love story and it was a bittersweet read because this is the final book in the Bearing Sea Crabbers Series. This book touched me on so many levels and it didn’t take me long to become invested in this couple and their journey.
Brock and Courtney were teenage sweethearts but she walked away when she was 18 without telling him her secret. Brock has never gotten over her leaving and he sees her as the one that got away so how will he react when she comes home to help her mother, especially when the secret she hid has now been revealed……..
If Brock wants a relationship with his daughter Hope he needs to learn how to forgive Courtney.
I fell hard and fast for Brock and I adored Courtney but what took this book to the next level was watching Brock forming a bond and a relationship with his teenage daughter. This is a well written, entertaining, emotional and engaging read and it was a great story to end the series on.

This story is the final book in the Bearing Sea Crabbers Series. Brock, never stopped loving Courtney—the girl he loved, who left town at eighteen without telling him she was pregnant. Years later, Courtney returns to help her mother after the death of her abusive father, bringing with her their thirteen-year-old daughter, Hope.
The heart of the story lies in Brock discovering he’s a father and learning how to build a relationship with Hope while he must learn how to forgive Courtney. This book beautifully shows that love can survive time, pain, and secrets—and still find its happily ever after.

Amazing! Beautifully written and emotionally wrenching. Brock and Courtney's story is one of the most heartfelt I've read. Their second-chance story has all the feels. Secrets. Redemption. Found family. Forgiveness. Romance and passion. And a love that never stopped. It's deeply satisfying from start to finish. Hands down, a must-read. I highly recommend the previous three books in the series. All exceptional, original stories.
