THE LIGHTKEEPERS BALL – Tour/Review
The Lightkeepers Ball
by Colleen Coble
(A Mercy Fall’s Novel)
From the Publisher:
Olivia seems to have it all, but her heart yearns for more.
Olivia Stewart’s family is one of the Four Hundred-the highest echelon of society in 1910. When her sister dies under mysterious circumstances, Olivia leaves their New York City home for Mercy Falls, California, to determine what befell Eleanor. She suspects Harrison Bennett, the man Eleanor planned to marry. But the more Olivia gets to know him, the more she doubts his guilt-and the more she is drawn to him herself.
When several attempts are made on her life, Olivia turns to Harrison for help. He takes her on a ride in his aeroplane, but then crashes, and they’re forced to spend two days alone together. With her reputation hanging by a thread, Harrison offers to marry her to make the situation right. As a charity ball to rebuild the Mercy Falls lighthouse draws near, she realizes she wants more than a sham engagement-she wants Harrison in her life forever. But her enemy plans to shatter the happiness she is ready to grasp. If Olivia dares to drop her masquerade, she just might see the path to true happiness.
Review:
I really enjoyed this novel. So much so, that I’m tracking
down copies of the first and second books, in the Mercy Falls Series.
(The Lightkeeper’s Daughter, & The Lightkeeper’s Bride)
Even though The Lightkeeper’s Ball is the 3rd installment in this series,
it reads perfectly as a “stand alone”.
As always, with Christian Fiction, I loved the fact that I did
not have to worry about content and language.
Coble did a wonderful job of depicting the era,
with her descriptions of surroundings, clothing, and culture.
The plot and ending were predictable, but that was okay with me.
I like knowing that the ending is going to be satisfying!
This mystery/ historical romance, is an easy read,
with a solid cast of characters. You will easily step back
in time, and become immersed in the story!
I give The Lightkeepers Ball
2 thumbs up and 8 fingers waving!

I wish to aplogize profusely to Colleen Coble, and to LitFuse.
I missed my tour date, due to Blogger being down,
and then my computer got a virus, and was out of
commission for days.
Thanks for your review. I was drawn to this book by it's cover and it sounds like it's a good one.
