Dollycas’s Thoughts

Elaine “Lainey” Devereaux has taken a break from her corporate job at her father’s business to search for answers. Her mother tried to tell her something while on her deathbed and Lainey can’t move on until she learns what her mother was trying to tell her. Using her mother’s journal, she follows in her footsteps across the country while penning a successful travel blog. Her mother’s next journal entry takes her to Bluestar Island.

Jack Turner is a graphic designer who has been working remotely but is expecting a big promotion that will have him leaving the island for New York. In his haste to get home for a mandatory Zoom meeting, he is unable to stop his golf cart before hitting a woman who had stepped into his path.

Jack and Lainey are soon spending a lot of time together but can they handle what life has in store for them?

The author has created such strong characters in this 4th/9th Turner Family of Bluestar Island romance.

I felt for Lainey immediately. Losing your mom is hard enough but knowing she died with a huge secret would have been devastating. Making it worse was that her dad knew but wouldn’t tell her. I loved that she found her mother’s journal and took off on her own to learn more about her mother and what both her parents had been hiding. The journey wasn’t easy and getting hit by a golf cart wasn’t a great welcome to Bluestar Island but Lainey didn’t give up. She was determined to find the truth.

Jack was dealing with some secrets of his own. Most of his family lives on the island and the family ties are strong but they don’t know everything he is dealing with. He feels a job in the city will be a good way to reboot his life.  He is such a good man and doesn’t know anything about Lainey but he volunteers to take care of her as she recovers from her injuries. His family also steps in to help.

With the Spring Fling readers meet and reconnect with Jack’s family and other island residents. They are a close-knit group known to be marvelous matchmakers and they are ready to work their magic again. They can see what Jack and Lainey are trying to deny. But Lainey has her own secret that could blow up their whole relationship. It was fun to watch from the sidelines.

Bluestar Island is a special place. Many have lived there their entire lives. They are strong in their beliefs. Some of the women can be a little overbearing but their hearts are in the right place. They look out for each other but welcome newcomers. It reminds me of how small towns used to be. It is a place I would love to visit. I may not want to leave.

What I really enjoyed was the bit of mystery. What was Lainey’s parents secret? I thought I had it all figured out but Ms. Faye threw in a twist I didn’t see coming and then the twists kept coming. I loved the way the story played out.

A Lighthouse Snapshot is a charming well-written romance filled with surprises. I escaped right into the story and was delightfully entertained. I love stories of hope and second chances. I also love stories that include lighthouses. Ms. Faye offers a Bonus Epilogue at the end of the book. Be sure to click the link to read more of Jack and Lainey’s story. I can’t wait to read more of this series.
