Stunning visuals kept the technicolor movie running in my mind throughout this lyrical yet honest narrative of two people’s passions. The history of the lighthouses, in a region I love, brought this story together in an extremely clever way. This goes into my short stack of books to read again. These characters and their story won’t be leaving me any time soon.
WOW! A romance story with an actual story! Very well-written that kept me turning the pages until I was finished and left me wanting more.
I absolutely loved this book!!!!
Beautiful
Finding love was not what Cassidy was looking for, she was dealing with the death of her dad and his wish to see the Washington state lighthouses. Russell was giving up on MY and bought a fixer up boat when he meets her.
Found it hard to read and stopped after a few chapters.
Really enjoyed the Calendar assignment given to the daughter. I would enjoy it since my Dad was a “Captain.”
Too much extraneous information early in the book. Moves slowly
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, great characters, great friends and a fun story.
Good read.
I enjoyed the idea of two people connecting by following the same calendar, even if the coincidence of knowing each other in real life, and then not figuring it out for several months stretched credibility a little. It was worth it though!
It was interesting to read all the facts about the different light houses and the way the couple kept crossing paths and not knowing they knew each other. The letters from her dad were sad
Great story, great writing. The story was complex and interesting. The characters were well drawn. I really enjoyed it.
The story built nicely, and the characters grew together well. It was nice to see the scenery through each of their perspectives and the author did a decent job bringing the area to life. The friendships were an important part of the whole for both main characters, which the author portrayed very richly. I enjoyed the story.
I absolutely loved everything about this book. Loved the history of the lighthouses. Loved how the story was put together. It was an extremely well written story.
Loved it — real characters with real emotions.
One of the best books I have read in a long time. Couldn’t wait to see what happened next. Really surprised to discover that the author was a man!Would definitely recommend it .
Enjoyed it, easy read
I didn’t feel any magic between the MCs. The story with the calender and the lighthouses was interesting. The h is not someone I would want as a friend
Well written and I loved the lighthouse descriptions at the beginning of each new adventure. Characters were believable and well written.
I thoroghly enjoyed this book after I read into it for a while. The plot was engaging & the characters believable. It needed a more stringent edit. I found typos, grammar & spme continuity problems.
