Title: Christmas by the Lighthouse Pdf

Happy-go-lucky journalist Summer has always managed to focus on the silver lining. But nothing in her life has prepared her for her husband Seth’s recent revelation: he wants a six-month break from their marriage.

Determined to stay positive, Summer decamps to Jersey to spend six months by the sea, where every passing week makes Seth more of a distant memory. Then she meets sweet, charming Jude, whose life seems to be on permanent hold even before he receives devastating news of his own. To both of them, their chance encounter feels like fate, and with Summer’s encouragement Jude embarks on a bucket list of experiences that seem to bond them for life.

When they’re together, the world is alive with possibilities, but as Christmas approaches, their time is running out in more ways than one. Will they return to the lives they left behind – or take a chance on an unknown future?

Careful for what you ask for. Wow, this is quite the journey of Jude and Summer. Summer's husband Seth tells her he wants a 6-month break from their marriage and she decides to go to Jersey for the six months because her aunt has a cottage there. She doesn't understand the reason why her husband all of a sudden wants a break but stays positive. They agree not to contact each other for the six months.

His friend was a reporter and she reported on the story and Summer say it on the news. The two get together to exchange suitcases but discover an instant attraction to each other. Jude was looking for a place to stay by the sea and Summer invited him to live with her.They start working on Jude's bucket list. The book shares their adventures, the things they learn and the ups and downs, and twist and turns of their lives. This is the first book I have read by this author but I am going to check out her other books because I enjoyed this one so much. Knowing this one was Christmas by the Lighthouse, I hoped that things would work out for Summer and Jude and there would be a miracle. But I am not saying if it happened because this book is a wonderful book to read and I want you to enjoy it as much as I did. I think telling you if it happened or not would take away from the experience of reading it yourself. so grab the book and enjoy the reading. Thank you, NetGalley for the ARC.Entertaining read, despite wounded hero's serious issues - Received an Advance Reader Copy in exchange for a fair review -A quick, entertaining read, despite featuring a wounded hero with very serious issues, “Christmas at the Lighthouse” balances between a light, humorous tone, helped by a nurturing, optimistic heroine and the Jersey Island getaway setting, and darker, more dramatic tones, due to said looming ticking clock.Perhaps Jude’s earlier indifference felt a bit odd, but I liked watching him shake the monotony of a “beige existence” and easily fall for Summer, the right heroine, at the right place and time.There were a lot of secondary characters strategically making the romantic couple’s life so much easier, and their HEA includes not a miracle cure but a credible treatment, even if some questions remain kindly unaddressed.Intense, emotional, satisfying CHRISTMAS BY THE LIGHTHOUSE is a story that will take you on an emotional rollercoaster ride from devastation to utter joy, and everything in-between as well. The basics of the story can be found in the Cover Description, yet although that will tempt you, and have you picking up this book what you don’t find there are the emotions, the strength of two people who have had their worlds tilted and now need to re-think, readjust to a far different reality than they once knew.Because I do not want to give much away I will say that I found myself asking questions throughout the reading of Summer’s and Jude’s story. “What would I do?” “How would I react?” “Can it be possible to find true happiness in the middle of heartache?” You will think throughout CHRISTMAS BY THE LIGHTHOUSE and will come up with your own unique reactions as to what you would do in similar circumstances.The story itself is endearing, if at times heartbreaking. The writing flowed for me and I easily found myself in a world that has drastically changed without my consent. I liked Summer and Jude both as a couple and individually. Of course, there are bumps in the road but they handled those things in a realistic way. I adored a pup that no one seems to want except for this couple, and finding that forever home for human and canine is the absolute best feeling possible. There is a solution that was believable for me, and that “believable” is important in my acceptance of what these two people are facing individually and as a couple. I enjoyed myself in this world and would not hesitate to recommend CHRISTMAS BY THE LIGHTHOUSE as a Christmas Romance or a story that could be relevant at any time of the year.*I received an e-ARC of this novel from the publisher via NetGalley. That does not change what I think of this story. It is my choice to leave a review giving my personal opinion about this book.*
