Book Review: The Lighthouse on the Cove - Amy Clipston

 


                    Book Review: The Lighthouse at the Cove by Amy Clipston

4.5 Stars

I picked this book up during a tough season and it arrived at the right time. I started the audio and liked it so much I went out and bought the physical copy for my shelves!

This is a warm, small-town romance like a good, hallmark movie. We follow Kaiah who is a journalist on an east coast road trip following a bad break up. She has car trouble and she meets Reid who is a single Dad and firefighter and they join forces to save Coral Cove's lighthouse through the town festival. 

Reid lost his wife several years ago in a car accident, and while this does depict grief, it gives grief room without letting it dominate the story. It feels realistic without being heavy and made the story feel honest and gentle all together. 

I loved Reid so much as a single Dad with his sweet little girl, Piper. The small town and festival was so good. I love Coral Cove and need to read the the other book she has wrote in this town next.

I just needed a good, clean romance and this delivered. It was a quick romance but I still really liked it.

*Content warnings: grief from spouse loss, loss of a parent mentioned, some scary medical emergencies.

Book Review: Fearless by Lauren Roberts

Fearless by Lauren Roberts Book 3 in the Powerless Trilogy 3 Stars OK, let’s dive into the review! I have sat with this all day and I think I’m going to land on 3 stars for this one. Books 1 and 2 were solid 4 star reads for me, and while my experience reading book 3 felt like a 4-star moment....mainly because I was in that UNWELL STATUS and absolutely NEEDED to know what was happening....it didn’t quite hold up in the end. You know those "drop everything and read" moments? That was ME! Her writing is great and addictive - but looking at the book itself, it felt a little all over the place. The last 30% especially got kind of random and, at times, just plain ridiculous. I questioned some events going on that made me like...WAITTTT WHAT? HA! That said, I still had a blast with this series. It is definitely one that will stay close to my heart because I adored Kai and Paedyn so much. Love their romance and banter - it's what has made the trilogy for me honestly. Kai really ...
