I really enjoyed this exciting book! It had a near miss shark attack, a sailboat accident, and a love story all packed into one!
Great book if you like romance and adventure. Fourth book in the murrel inlet series featuring Sadie and Jett. Sadie a nursing student/marathon runner meets Jett a personal trainer and yacht racer and magic happens. You won’t be disappointed.
Laurie Larsen brings us Capsized ,book 4 of RusSell’s Inlet series.
Sadie,daughter of Shaw in book 3,has her own stort.She reconnected with Jett,her former personal trainer and both feel a mutualattraction.
I loved the storyline about extreme sports that focused on yacht racing and of course,romance.
This book has multifaceted characters including an epilogue of Shaw and Nora’story.
The book can be read as a standalone but as a series adds to the enhancement of the characters.
This book is recommended for those love Christian romance.
At first I didn’t like the way this story was going. It was somewhat different than I expected. I wasn’t sympathetic with the lifestyle of Sadie, the heroine. She was way too hyper active than I like and she was hard for me to get into. But unless I really can’t stand a book I start reading I’ll keep on reading hoping things will change. So yes things did change, I became interested in her new relationship with Jett. They had known and been connected in a past relationship. He as her trainer in her sports activities. When he asked her as a last resort to crew for him in his upcoming sailboat race a new relationship developed and I became very interested in finding out how that turned out. If you like a good romance with some road bumps along the way and smooth sailing after awhile then this is the book for you. This is a good offbeat romance.
This is a fun romance with a great new ( to me ) setting of yacht racing . And since I also enjoyed the the previous books in this series, it was so much fun to check in with previous characters, like being up with old friends.Laurie Larsen
“Capsized” will Inspire You to Try Something New!
My mind went to a different place when I read the title “Capsized!” However, as I turned each page my interest in the characters piqued during this 4th novel in the Murrell’s Inlet series. Sadie Flynn is an exciting young lady who inspires readers to challenge themselves to participate in sports that test your abilities and endurance. She’s also a talented and serious nursing student. Wow what inspiration young women can draw from her life! The re-introduction of Sadie’s Dad, Shaw and his love interest Nora brought back good memories of their beginning in Sanctuary. Laurie Larsen has a unique way of writing that makes you feel like you’re reading about your own family and friends. You always meet old favorites in her novels. After catching up with Sadie, Shaw, and Nora you meet a new charming trainer/sailing expert Jett Martin. It’s an unfolding story about Sadie and Jett, their friendship, commitment, team work, and budding love set in an exciting fight to the finish Yacht Race. I enjoy a book where I learn something new and Yacht Racing was new to me! I couldn’t stop reading this book!
Sadie Flynn is focused on completing her nursing degree and finishing a marathon in each of the 50 states. She doesn’t have time for romance. Her personal trainer Jett Martin and Sadie are attracted to each other, but she fights it afraid it will get in the way of her goals. Jett competes in sailboat races and when he breaks some ribs training for a solo race, he asks Sadie to be his first mate in his next race so he doesn’t lose a potential sponsor and investor in his new invention. When Sadie makes a rookie mistake that causes him to almost lose his boat and his chances with the sponsor, she feels awful and runs. Jett is luckier than he could imagine when the investor still wants him despite his struggles, but will Sadie ever let him back into her heart? This was a clean romance with lots of action. I loved reading about sailing and all that goes into it and all the extreme sports Sadie was looking into. It was also great to catch up with Sadie’s dad Shaw and the love of his life Nora from Sanctuary and read about the next chapter in their romance.
Another great read from Laurie Larsen! 4th in the series set in beautiful Murrells Inlet, SC this book tells the story of Sadie and Jett and the obstacles they must face together and individually. A deeply entertaining story of love, faith, family and the motivation to work hard and never give up. As always, it was a true pleasure to read this novel.
Capsized is another wonderful story from Laurie Larsen. The book works well as a stand alone, but I have read all the Murrells Inlet books. It is nice to get updates on the characters from previous books. I know almost nothing about sailing, but I felt like I was on the boat with Sadie and Jett. Both characters had a lot of baggage – Sadie from living the disaster that was her parents’ marriage and Jett whose father is an abusive bully. Sadie is crewing for Jett who was injured preparing for a very important race. I liked the characters growth as they went on this adventure. This is a clean, Christian romance and I highly recommend it. Whenever I get a new book by Laurie Larsen, I sit down and consume it!
I have, loved every single book Laurie has written. They are always page turners, romantic, realistic, and inspirational to me! Absolutely one of the best christian Authors I’ve found!! Congratulations Laurie on another 5 star read!!!
I loved this book. I know nothing about sailing but the story was so well written that I was sailing right along. The details were fantastic. I encourage everyone to read this whole series.
Another wonderful story written by Laurie! These character are strong and refuse to give up! I love how she incorporates characters from previous books with a wonderful storyline. Can’t wait for her next book!
Another great book by Laurie Larsen! She has really maintained a high bar of excellence with this newest release. The main couple, Jeff and Sadie, were characters introduced in earlier books, but what adrenaline they exude in this book! WOW! There is literally, so much going on in this story that the reader (almost) wants to jump in and try to help! Great characters, brilliant story, lots of non-stop action throughout, beautiful Christian imagery, and a very clean book! I would recommend this book to ALL readers!
I received an ARC copy of this book. This is my voluntary and honest review and these are my own personal thoughts and opinions.

I love this author’s style. Within this read we have a girl who has let fear govern her decisions when it came to relationships. She has however become very interested in extreme sports craving the adrenaline rush. He’s helped her i the past and to become what she is and now he needs her help. Battling with his own baggage centering around a verbal and emotional bully of a father, both of them team up in a competition. He introduces her to the world of competitive yachting and she introduces him to prayer. Suffice it to say this is a clean read with biblical references and teachings. What this author does is incorporate it all so seamlessly into the story, that it flows through the story showing God’s actions, and the scriptures that guide us through the understanding of the God we serve. She does all this and entertains you with a great story with characters we love too.
Oh, wow!! Another great book, with some twists and turns I didn’t see coming!! Sadie grew up knowing her parents didn’t love each other, though they stayed together, living different lives. Her mother was never a mother, and her dad tried to be both mother and father. She decides she’ll never fall in love. That changes when she meets Jett. She tries to keep him at arms length, but when she enters a sailing yacht race with, everything changes. Jett has his own insecurities, starting with the verbal abuse he received from his father. Jett left home as soon as possible, and decided he would NOT be like his father. He has done pretty well for himself, though he’s missed having someone on his side who believes in him. When he invites Sadie to race with him, he’s looking for a first mate. He finds so much more!!!! Spending time with Sadie makes him long to have a relationship with her, but also with God. When things look pretty bleak, he realizes he needs to turn to God and give it all to Him. When he does, watch out!!!
I received a complimentary copy of this book, was not required to leave a review, and the opinion expressed is my own.
