Undertow is the debut romance/chick lit novel of veteran author Amber Lynn Natusch. What a fantastic debut! I absolutely loved this book, and couldn’t get enough of Aesa and Decker. I should tell you that I am a huge fan of Deadliest Catch, so I was pretty biased before I even started the story that it was going to be amazing. I certainly wasn’t disappointed!Aesa is the only daughter of a Norwegian crab fisherman in Alaska. When our story begins, she is returning home to try and make peace with her estranged father that she hasn’t seen in years. Expecting to have two weeks to work out their problems, Aesa and her father adjust rapidly when crab season starts early. Aesa agrees to go on the boat with her father and his men.Now we get to the good stuff, and we get to meet Decker. Decker is a quiet man with a commanding presence. His honesty and outspokenness where Aesa is concerned is exactly what she needs in her perfect match.There are a lot of things I loved about this book, but one of the first things that struck me was how original the story line was. The conflicts between Aesa, her father, and Decker were relatable problems that helped me to connect with the characters. I also enjoyed the fact that Decker is an average guy that has a blemished past (don’t we all?). There is a lot of suspense in this book, with twists and turns you don’t see coming! This is the perfect story to lose yourself in,and isn’t one you should start unless you plan on staying in one spot for a while!
