Loading... Light The Way (edition 2022)by Lin Stepp (Author)3.5 Stars In Light the Way, Lin Stepp returns readers to Edisto Island, South Carolina, and many of the surrounding areas, but this time she focuses on Watch Island and the family that cares for the lighthouse. While there wasn’t a ton of conflict for Burke and Waylon after the first few chapters and most of the book was them reacting to things happening around them, there was enough happening to keep my interest. Burke’s sisters all have stories I want more of (good thing this is the first book in a series, right?), the area history as well as that of the lighthouse are interesting, and there’s the mystery of some missing women that’s sprinkled throughout the book. Much of the story is told through dialogue so readers aren’t bogged down with a lot of detail. This introduction to the Deveaux family is a good blend of characters and setting that will leave you ready to return soon. Disclosure statement: I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book and was not required to write a positive review. All opinions are my own. I’ve never visited Edisto, but after reading Light the Way, I feel as if I have. I love the serene atmosphere the author created and enjoyed sinking into the coastal setting and story. Especially knowing it’s the first book in a new series! Burke Deveaux is easy to connect with and I instantly liked her and her family. The connection and chemistry between Burke and Waylon is believable and unmistakable. Add in the historic family-cared-for inn, lighthouse, and lodge with over five-hundred acres on an island in South Carolina and I’m ready to move there! This story has such an easy-going flow, with peaks, valleys, love, loss, tears, laughter, questions, and answers all cozily wrapped in a clean, well-written, memorable romance. There’s so much to enjoy, and I can’t wait to revisit this place in the following books in the series. Disclosure: #CoverLoverBookReview received a complimentary copy of this book. |
