Renowned lighthouse expert Alex MacFarland has come to Blueberry Cove, Maine, to renovate and heal; sexy lighthouse owner Logan McCrae is resistant to change, but the interfering community may be what they both need to find peace--and each other. Alex, the last of a long line of lighthouse keepers and renovation experts, has left everything she's ever known behind in an attempt to restart her life after a traumatizing accident has her floundering personally and professionally. Driving across the country to take a job in Maine, she gets there only to discover that the man who owns the tower has no intention of hiring her--or anyone--for the job. As chief of police, Logan is used to taking care of other people in Blueberry Cove, and he's not comfortable asking anyone for help, be it his uncle, his community or a vulnerable lighthouse specialist. But there's no denying an electric attraction between the two of them, and as Alex falls under the spell of Blueberry Cove, Logan might have to recognize emotions he's kept locked away for much too long. Kauffman pens a touching romance that offers healing and redemption to two lonely hearts who fall into a love they don't even realize they're looking for. The first of a series, the book introduces a quirky community and secondary characters with enough personality to make readers want to come back. A light romance with a touch of heat, a pinch of intensity and a dash of mysterious small-town magic.

Kauffman's lovable new series, less sugar-fueled than her Cupcake Club books but just as sweet, portrays a small Maine community as surrogate family. A year after Alex McFarland saw her father fall to his death from a lighthouse, she takes over her family's lighthouse restoration business and goes to assess a property at Pelican Point. There she learns that the person who contacted her was not actually the building's owner, police chief Logan McCrae, but his matchmaking great-uncle Fergus. Logan takes some convincing to let a stranger into his private retreat, but eventually he offers to let Alex stay while she crafts a work proposal. Their connection deepens as Logan opens up about his fiancée's death in a boating accident, and both Alex and Logan must find the bravery to trust their hearts despite their fear of loss. Gossip and passion make minor appearances, but the most prominent element is emotional warmth. (Nov.)
