Kaiah Ross, a journalist, embarks on a road trip aimed at jumpstarting her writing career when her car suddenly overheats, steam billowing from the engine. She barely makes it to the next town, where she discovers a mechanic. Unfortunately, she learns that it will take two weeks for the necessary parts to arrive, forcing her to cancel her plans. This unexpected delay leads her to the enchanting town of Coral Cove, where she begins to appreciate the charm of small-town life.
On her first day in Coral Cove, Kaiah meets Reid Turner, a firefighter, while ordering coffee. Their drink orders get mixed up, and she ends up asking for his advice on accommodation. Reid offers her a fantastic deal on the apartment above his garage. Despite being a single dad raising his six-year-old daughter after the tragic loss of his wife, Reid feels an unexpected attraction to Kaiah’s warmth and friendliness. His priorities have been solely focused on being a good parent, with assistance from his parents and twin sister, leaving little room for dating.
Kaiah agrees to work on the committee that is promoting the town’s annual “Light the Dark” Festival with a goal of raising enough money to repair the local elementary school damaged by a fire, and repair Coral Cove’s historic lighthouse so it can light up again.
As Kaiah is immersed into the close community of Coral Cove, making new friends and feeling like she is making a difference, she questions whether the spark she is beginning to feel when around Reid is reciprocated. Just as Kaiah is beginning to think that Coral Cove could be her home, she receives the job offer of her dreams. Acceptance would necessitate her moving to a big city.
This is a charming story with a cast of relatable and loving characters. It’s one that I found hard to put down as it got into my heart from the beginning. A book by Amy Clipston always proves to be a heartwarming, delightful experience.
I received a complimentary copy of this book. All comments and opinions are my own.

I just finished a good book that is available later this year. The Lighthouse at the Cove by Amy Clipston was a winner for me.

I was so happy to finally be approved for this book and I wasn't one bit disappointed! I adored this novel.
Made me feel right at home withe Reid, Piper and Kayiah.
I loooooove lighthouses! It's the honest reason I wanted this book. I wanted to know the story behind it. I really wished people would take better care and preserve them. They have history too.
I simply couldn't putting beautiful story of 2nd chances down. They are my favorite because they do offer hope and more importantly love.
Some places this story made me cry and other times snicker too. And laugh out loud.
The description made me feel like I was a part of Reids community. I really enjoyed being there.
I hated to see it end. Maybe I shouldn't read so fast but I just can't help myself sometimes. I love coastal towns. Maybe it's because I live in one.
This was a great story. And yes at times heartbreaking. I love that this shows that our characters are human and they're not always perfect.
Becks Reid's sister is a wonderful person. Being twins must be awesome
5 stars for a great beach or anytime story. A job well done for drawing me in immediately.
My thanks for a copy of this book. I was NOT required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine.

“Thank you for being my lighthouse.”

This book follows Kaiah, a freelance travel journalist who gets stranded in Coral Cove after her car breaks down, and Reid, a single dad who’s lived in Coral Cove forever. When the garage informs her that her car will take weeks to be repaired, she agrees to stay and help with the annual fundraising festival. I loved everything about this book. It had the perfect mix of romance and community spirit. All of the characters, especially 6 year-old Piper, were loveable from the start. I loved the small-town coziness, the development of the main characters and the ending. A great light-hearted romance read.

The Lighthouse at the Cove,by Amy Clipston, opens with Kaiah Ross traveling through coastal North Carolina. She is a travel journalist documenting great spots for her readers to visit. Her car suddenly indicates that all is not well. As Kaiah slowly drives into Coral Cove looking for a car repair shop, she has no idea what she will encounter!

Kaiah’s first thought is that this town looks like one out of a storybook. After she gets her car set up for repair, she meets Reid Turner, her uber driver, and she cannot turn her eyes away. This handsome man has lived in Coral Cove his entire life and is also a full-time firefighter. Kaiah knows she will not be able o forget this man anytime soon. Kaiah simply describes him as Mr. Tall, Dark and Handsome, TDH for short!

Unfortunately or maybe not, Kaiah has a lengthy stay in town until her car is repaired. When Kaiah volunteers to help prepare for the town’s annual festival, she and Reid end up spending a lot of time together. Before you know it, it seems as if something may be going on between these two!

When Kaiah’s car is finally repaired, she must make a tough decision. Will she move ahead with opportunities to further her writing career or stay in Coral Cove with this man she has come to love? It is fun to see the ending of this tale!

I was given a free copy of the book by NetGalley from Thomas Nelson. The opinions in this review are completely my own.

She is back again with another second chance romance in a small town. I enjoyed how Amy developed characters that we can see who they are. It was emotional rollercoaster through their lives. On the another, Kaiah finally realized that big dreams and money are not important when come to your family. She is too true. I also discovered that her one of dream is belonging to good family. She desires to belong to a family in her heart.Lasty ,Reid was afraid to give heart to some one new because his heart belongs to his late wife and Piper is equally important as well. Kaiah's driven, kindness,and joy of what she do broke Reid 's heart in pieces more time spend with her. It makes very happy ending. I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

This was delightful. I was hooked from page one. The plot was well-paced and captivating from start to finish. The characters were lovely with growth and development. This is definitely one I'll read again! Many thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the advanced copy of the book.
