In this new coastal series, Lin Stepp transports her readers into the rich, colorful lives of Burke and her sisters, Lila, Gwen, and Celeste, who grew up at the Deveaux Inn and Lighthouse on a windswept island, accessible only by boat. Get ready to be introduced to the ups and downs, joys and sorrows, challenges and adventures of a Lighthouse Keeper.
Life had grown hard for Burke Deveaux at the family inn and lighthouse since her father died. She missed his warmth and still expected to see him walking into a room, his big laugh booming. Burke and her mother were gradually adjusting to the change, and Lila had come home this winter to help, but the workload was heavy. With spring coming and tourism picking up in the South Carolina Lowcountry, Burke welcomed Hal Jenkins’ request for his son Waylon to work for them. Waylon, retiring early from the Navy, knew the island and the lighthouse, having grown up nearby. Burke also knew Waylon well since they’d grown up together. He’d always been older, and she wondered how he’d see her now.
Waylon had been away from Edisto Island for over twelve years now, traveling around the world in the military, but it felt good to be home. He’d hated learning Lloyd Deveaux was gone, the warm-hearted Lighthouse Keeper he’d followed around as a boy. But he liked the idea of coming to stay at the lodge at Watch Island to help the Deveaux family with the inn, lighthouse, and nearly five-hundred acres of land the Lighthouse Station occupied. He knew Burke had picked up many of her father’s old tasks and he looked forward to seeing her again. He’d kept feelings for her clamped down for years but one look at her brought them surging back. How would he handle that with them working together?

My Review
I have loved other books by Lin Stepp and was excited to have the opportunity to read her newest release. Light the Way begins her The Lighthouse Sisters series and I was far from being disappointed. This may be my favorite I have read by her to date. I loved the beautiful scenery and the author’s details of the area, that made feel as though I was breathing the ocean air. It was great getting to know the sisters, especially Burke. I adored this character and loved the chemistry between her and Waylon. Such a sweet and inspiring story.
Light the Way is getting a very well deserved five plus stars from me. I highly recommend it for readers who enjoy reading clean romance. I can not wait to read the next book from The Lighthouse Sisters series.
I received a paperback copy of Light the Way from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
Nice cover. It sounds like a really interesting book. Thank you for sharing.
