The Gist:
After a horrible personal
tragedy, Alex McFarland decides to jump back on the horse and throw her self
into the work that she has always loved.
In doing so, she signs on to restore an old lighthouse in Blueberry
Cove, ME. When she arrives, no one
is as surprised as Logan McCrae, the town sheriff and actual owner of the
lighthouse.
As sparks fly
between Logan and Alex, both battle their pasts and push away from each other,
only to find themselves coming back together with more force and passion. With the town rooting on both the
restoration effort, and the possibility of love, Alex and Logan must decide if
they are willing to let go of their past heartache and risk their hearts on
each other.
What I thought:
This was the first book that I
have ever read by Donna Kauffman, and it was very enjoyable. The characters were well developed, and
their struggles leapt off of the page.
I enjoyed meeting Alex and Logan, but mostly I really connected with the
town of Blueberry Cove.
Blueberry Cove is
one of those places that everyone longs to live, think Stars Hollow (for any of
you Gilmore Girl fans out there).
It is a quirky place with many residents that I would like to learn more
about, and lucky for me, this is the first book in a new series! I can’t wait to escape to this town and
these people again.
My only critique
about this book was that at times it seemed a bit repetitive, mainly in the
scenes where Alex is lusting after Logan- although I understand the intent, for
me it made the story drag a bit.
All in all, I do
recommend this story for anyone dealing with a personal loss, or anyone looking
to connect to a new group of characters that, I’m assuming, will soon become
friends to all readers as this series grows.
