5.0 out of 5 stars A Charming Book Filled With Lighthouse Adventure!, February 25, 2001

By 

Megan (Michigan) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Keepers of the Light: Whispers Across the Blue/A Beacon in the Storm/When Love Awaits/A Time to Love (Inspirational Romance Collection) (Paperback)

This gem of a book tells four stories of women lighthouse keepers. The tapestry of characters with the blend in different writing styles was heightened by the beautiful backdrops.

In "When Love Awaits", a woman named Fiona falls for the persistant, Scottish Ian. In "A Beacon in the Storm", Amanda's one wish is to remain the lighthouse keeper - until she becomes sidetracked. With "Whispers Across the Blue" one feels the emotions of lovesick Jule praying for her fiancee who is out to sea. Lastly, in "A Time to Love", Eden has given up on love- but love has not given up on her.

A delightful, cozy read filled with inspiration and romance in the Lord's hand. This book is highly recommended!

1.0 out of 5 stars Poorly Written, Full of Cliches, May 27, 2002

This review is from: Keepers of the Light: Whispers Across the Blue/A Beacon in the Storm/When Love Awaits/A Time to Love (Inspirational Romance Collection) (Paperback)

I couldn't get past the first two books in this set. The first seemed really dumb and contrived...we knew what was going to happen, the characters seemed flat, and it didn't really keep my attention. Book two further convinced me that this series was NOT worth reading and was more of the same mechanical writing and contrived plot. Disappointing. If you enjoy this type of book, I would recommend "Dakota" by Lauraine Snelling and "Colorado Wings" by Tracie Peterson.

4.0 out of 5 stars Keepers Of The Light When Love Awaits., March 24, 2001

This review is from: Keepers of the Light: Whispers Across the Blue/A Beacon in the Storm/When Love Awaits/A Time to Love (Inspirational Romance Collection) (Paperback)

My love of lighthouses drew me to this story. Though I was only able to read When Love Awaits, it's characters and description peak my curiosity to read the remaining story and the others in the book. If the other stories are similar to Lynn Coleman's work, then I will not be disappointed
