The Great Lakes Lighthouse Brides Collection
by Lena Nelson Dooley, Rebecca Jepson, Carrie Fancett Pagels,
Candice Sue Patterson, Kathleen Rouser, Pegg Thomas, Marilyn Turk
| -From Goodreads- Lighthouses have long been the symbol of salvation, warning sailors away from dangerous rocks and shallow waters. Along the Great Lakes, America’s inland seas, lighthouses played a vital role in the growth of our nation. They shepherded settlers traveling by water to places that had no roads. These beacons of light required constant tending even in remote and often dangerous places. Brave men and women battled the elements and loneliness to keep the lights shining. Their sacrifice kept goods and immigrants moving. Seven romances set between 1883 and 1911 bring hope to these lonely keepers and love to weary hearts. ISBN-13: 978-1683227694 Will they find love or be lost to the stormy waters? Anna's Tower by Pegg Thomas This is one of the two stories that I most looked forward to in this collection and I was not disappointed. I loved the sweet romance between two very different characters and the dash of danger was just right. Beneath A Michigan Moon by Candice Sue Patterson So this author is one of the new-to-me ones in this collection. I loved this story and definitely hope to read more from her in the future. Having visited other parts of Michigan before I could really visualize this story as I read it. Safe Haven by Rebecca Jepson I think this may just be my favorite story in the collection. Not only because of two-decades-old mystery but also because I have actually visited the lighthouse where the story is set! It really made the story and characters come to life for me. Love's Beacon by Carrie Fancett Pagels This was the second story that I most looked forward to when I started the collection. Mystery abounds in this tale of intrigue and sweet romance. Not to mention this story has the most adorable little girl! You just want to hug her! The Last Memory by by Kathleen Rouser This was the second totally new-to-me author in this collection and I found myself enjoying story set on Lake Huron. It starts out with a real bang, a shipwreck, and slowly leads into a wonderfully sweet romance. |  This Book received a 5 Bark rating.

The Disappearing Ship by Lena Nelson Dooley
Aside from the obvious parallel to Salvation, the other word that seems to be associated with lighthouses would be 'mystery'. And boy, does this romance about a woman doctor and her handsome have quite the adventure within!
The Wrong Survivor by Marilyn Turk
What an intriguing title this novella has, and it really matches this tale of loss, love, and forgiveness. This was the final new-to-me author in the collection and now I'm curious to discover any other stories she might have.
Overall
Really, all I had to see was the word 'lighthouse' and this book went straight onto my wishlist. I am a longtime lighthouse fan and I've been to 7 on Lake Michigan. Then I saw a couple of names of familiar authors and that only added icing on the cake.
I really loved this themed collection of novellas, from both familiar authors and new ones, and I would highly recommend it to any fan of Barbour's novella collections and especially to anyone who loves lighthouses.
