I loved this book! It had everything a good mystery needs--a dark and stormy night, fog and mists, an abandoned lighthouse along a jagged Maine coast, and ghosts. Throw in some run runners, drug dealers, a hateful cop, and a little romance and you have a story that kept me reading late into the night. In fact I read the book in one sitting, something I did not do even with the latest James Patterson novel. I liked the heroine, Blake Cartwright, a New York lawyer who left it all behind to purchase sight unseen an abandoned lighthouse and keeper's house in Maine so she can open an inn. When she literally runs into our hero in the dark inside her new house she reacted a lot calmer than I would have. It seems that he is a restorer of old houses and she hires him on the spot to fix the mess she has just purchased. A little improbable perhaps, but it worked. He tells her about the ghost the realtor failed to mention, so of course she sees it immediately. The book was somewhat predictable but I liked the characters enough to keep reading to find out what happened to them next. If you want a nice romantic suspense novel to enjoy without pondering hidden meanings and deeper life lessons this is the book for you. I was highly entertained and loved the characters. It would make a great movie.

I highly recommend this book to everyone that enjoys suspense, mystery with a bit of romance. It captured me from page one ! I loved the well crafted story , the characters and the setting. It has all the perfect elements of a great read. A strong woman protagonist who is independent and smart as well as easy to relate to, a sleuth that was rich with clues and a dash of romance that fit perfectly into the story without detracting from it . This was a very enjoyable read ! Thank you for the advance reading copy which did not influence my review.

I wanted to love this book simply because of the cover. I'm a huge fan of lighthouses! Then I read the description and I was intrigued. A romance in which the heroine buys a lighthouse is right up my alley! Unfortunately that feeling didn't carry over throughout the book.
I feel like this book was all over the place with its pacing. Sometimes the author circled around something over and over, and then other times she'd jump ahead to something completely different. Blake had a love/hate relationship with everyone it seemed like. She went from being completely distrustful of Declan to kissing him like she'll die if he walks away.
The suspense aspect was done well.... I didn't figure it out until the villain was revealed, but as far as a romantic suspense, I would've liked more meaningful/emotional romance.
