The Lighthouse at the Cove by Amy ClipstonMy rating: 💛💛💛
Rating 3.5
Even though this book is shown as part of the Coral Cove series, it is wholly independent from the first book and can be read as a stand alone.
Piper was the best part of this story. I loved this little girl’s personality, innocence and just how she was so open and easily loved Kaiah.
Kaiah and Reid had chemistry from the start and had to overcome some hurdles and insecurities in their friendship which grew into more. The plot around the festival and how the small town came together to make it a success was warm and cosy. For a small town they had quite a few accidents though.
I appreciated how the author did not draw out the ending too much and even though the characters had some challenges and decisions to make, there was a quick turnaround.
Another cosy story if you need something lighter to read.

About the book:
The Lighthouse at the Cove is a heartwarming Hallmark-style novel perfect for fans of RaeAnne Thayne and Sherryl Woods where a single dad teams up with a journalist to save the town's historic landmark lighthouse.
Kaya Ross, a talented and ambitious journalist, needs a break. Following a tough breakup, Kaya embarks on a road trip along the picturesque coastal route from Maryland to Florida. However, her journey takes an unexpected turn when her car breaks down in the charming town of Coral Cove. Stranded and in need of help, Kaya meets Reid Turner, a local firefighter with a heart of gold.
Reid, a single father to his daughter Piper, offers Kaya a place to stay in the apartment above his garage in exchange for writing a feature article on the town's annual Light the Dark Festival, which celebrates the town's rich history as the home of an old lighthouse that saved sailors in a storm. The festival serves as a fundraiser for the town and is crucial for its survival of the historic lighthouse, a symbol of Coral Cove's giving heart. This year, the festival holds even more significance as the town is in desperate need of funds to repair the lighthouse, which was damaged by a fire.
As Kaya settles into her new temporary home, she becomes deeply involved in the planning and promotion of the Light the Dark Festival, and as she and Reid work together, love starts to bloom. Together, they work tirelessly to create awareness and excitement for the festival, hoping to attract tourists and save the town from financial ruin. However, just as Kaya starts to feel at home in Coral Cove, her ex-boyfriend reappears with a tempting job opportunity that could change her life.
Faced with a difficult decision, Kaya must choose between her newfound love for the town, Reid, and Piper, or the allure of her career and the possibility of a fresh start. With the clock ticking and the pressure mounting, Kaya, Reid, and the community of Coral Cove come together to overcome obstacles, ignite the town's spirit, and make the Light the Dark Festival a resounding success. Along the way, they discover the power of love, friendship, and the importance of preserving their town's heritage.
The Lighthouse at the Cove is a captivating tale that combines the charm of a small-town setting, a blossoming romance, and the triumph of community spirit. Readers will be swept away by the heartfelt journey of Kaya, Reid, and the residents of Coral Cove as they navigate love, loss, and the pursuit of happiness in the face of adversity.
