About the Book Book, Chapter, & Vows

Book: Book, Chapter, & Vows

Author: Chautona Havig

Genre: Christian Contemporary Romance

Release date: July 26, 2022

Falling in love with Benjamin wasn’t in the plan, but Mallory finds she’s all but lost her head and her heart after two and a half years of banter, memories, and now shared books.

But when her ex-fiance (does it count if it was just for a few hours?) shows up right in the middle of a writing project with Benjamin, the guy manages to ruin her happiness… again.

Benjamin has been keeping one tiny part of him back from Mallory–just the one thing that’ll repel her for good.
So when the ex-boyfriend-slash-fiance shows up, and things look serious again, he takes a giant step back and prays he can keep his heart intact in the process.

They’re clearly meant for each other. God obviously has a plan. So what’s it going to take for Mallory and Benjamin to work things out and get those vows made?

This Breakers Head novel is Chautona Havig’s final book in the Independence Islands Series featuring five islands, six authors, and a boatload of happily-ever-afters.

My Thoughts on Book, Chapter, & Vows

I love this series.  I loved this book.  And I agree with the author that it’s so hard to say goodbye to these characters.  They are my favorites. I love them so much and I did actually wait a few days after getting this book before reading it.  

Okay, so Mallory has been with us since book one and I loved watching her grow and change throughout the series.  Watching how she and Benjamin have changed in their relationship.  They’re amazing and I can’t wait to continue to see them in the two series that are coming out later.  

Ezra is a friend of mine now and I can’t wait to see what her story will be.  With a name like this, I knew that we’d have to follow along with her story and I’m so glad that that is going to happen!  And that Mallory gets to come along for the journey. 

Oh and I’m also so glad for Chautona to be giving Josie her own series.  She’s such a fun character as well.  Solving mysteries and bee bopping her way through life.  

I really don’t want to tell you what happens in this story.  You’re going to need to read it.  But needless to say things work out for Mallory even though a meddling ex fiance(only for a few minutes anyway) decides to show up and butt into things.

It Happened AGAIN!

I remember the first book I had trouble finishing. Beneath the Cloak. It was the last book of the Wynnewood series, and I was dying to reveal the big secret that had been a big part of the storyline. I spent hours writing very few words. Someone asked if I had writer’s block, but I didn’t. I knew every word I wanted to put on that page, but I kept procrastinating.

For weeks.

We’re talking long, agonizing weeks.

Finally, I realized a significant part of why I hadn’t finished was because I didn’t want to. I didn’t want the series to end.

Say goodbye to beloved characters?

Agony, okay?

I wanted to spend the rest of my life in Wynnewood seeing what happened with all the characters and all the things that would happen.

I just wanted to write a bunch of other books, too.

What can I say?

It’s a thing.

So, as I dove into writing the book I’ve been dying to write since I penned the opening scene of Christmas on Breakers Point, you’d think I’d have been prepared for the inevitable. I mean, it’s happened with several other series since that first time, so… yeah.

All ready to combat the problem, right?

Not hardly.

To be fair, I was also coming off being very sick, my mother being even sicker, so being crazy behind on everything. I mean, that had a lot to do with it taking so long to get going on it. But once I did, I’d type like crazy and then ignore it for a day or two before the story demanded more telling.

Then, just as I neared the big scene of Book, Chapter, & Vows… I went nuts on doing everything but finishing that book.

No joke.

I did. Sigh.

Again, you think I’d learn.

After much soul searching and even more wailing at God about the cruelty of it all (I was in a dramatic mood, okay?), the solution came to me. Okay, God smacked me upside the head with a 2×4 of memories of how I solved every other, “don’t wanna finish this series” crisis.

See, way back with Wynnewood, the only thing that got me to the finish line was a promise I made to myself. “It doesn’t have to end here. You can write more if you want to. There’s nothing to say you can do ‘Wynnewood, the Later Years’ or something like that.”

Just that one promise to myself that I didn’t have to say goodbye was all it took for me to get back on that trusty old Toshiba laptop and pound out those last few chapters.

And here I was again, not ready to say goodbye to a series—to these islands that feel so crazy real to me. I didn’t want to say goodbye to the characters and their quirky ways.

Would you?

Now… you’re going to laugh at me.

Go ahead. I mean, I did.

See here’s the deal.

I didn’t have to make that promise to myself again.

“What?” you say. “What do you mean?”

Yeah.

I don’t have to say goodbye to the characters or the islands.

Why?

Because we have another island series coming, the Suamalie Islands, and Mallory is going to visit those islands.

If that isn’t enough for me, I have another series all planned for the Independence Islands, too!

Yeah. That.

I mean, what was I not thinking?

As soon as I thought of that, I was able to get in there, get the last few scenes written and pass it off to the fabulous Christy for her editorial magic. As for me, I think I’m going to go play around just a little bit with one of the Josie Parker Mysteries. I mean, why not?
