Book Review: Baited (Bering Sea Crabbers #1) by Jessica Buss

 

Blurb

Bering Sea Crabbers is the next series you’ll be tied to.❤️ It’s a small-town, blue-collar contemporary romance with Deadliest Catch© vibes. I’ve merged Romancelandia and the Bering Sea.
What you need to know: Your life isn’t the only thing you could lose in the Sea.


When you’re crab fishing in the Bering Sea, one misstep can have devastating, even deadly, consequences.
Henrik, a grumpy crab fisherman living on Kodiak Island, has never been swayed by anything—not until Carina, a curvy, sweet-tempered marine biologist, catches his eye. He’s drawn to her by an unquestionable attraction that he can’t shake.

A former resident of the island, Carina returns home because the rapidly declining population of crabs in the Bering Sea troubles her. And although years have gone by, she’s still incredibly attracted to the brooding object of her teenage fantasies. And now he’s the captain of a crabber, and determined to protect the crabs too.

But getting to know him means she must face the childhood trauma that made her fearful of her first true love—the ocean. Will she be able to conquer the anxiety she’s held for so long? Can she once again entrust someone she loves to the sea?

My Review - 4 of 5 stars - 

This was definitely an interesting story. Carina had loved Henrik for years, left, and then came back home. Their connection was almost instant. She was such a strong individual, accepting what came her way, although she did have her fears about the crabbing season. Henrik was grumpy and bull-headed, but Carina brought out the light side of him. He was very loyal to his team and their safety, and became very protective of Carina. A misunderstanding at the wrong moment almost ended everything. Definitely a different vocation, and I enjoyed the details in what crabbing entails.

I received a copy through Enticing Journey Book Promotions, and this is my unsolicited review.
