A fabulous and dynamic tender love story.

This book made me really desire the best for the main characters and that they would see their relationship develop into a wonderful love story. The setting in the lighthouse lends a unique and picturesque place for them to share their feelings. Their interaction with memorable side-characters helped to move the story along. Moments of tension with their boisterous boss cause concerns for their personal and professional lives which culminate in an exciting finale to the novel. The character development captures the feeling of young love and the hope that one could have in their own life. It's a gentle, yet dynamic, novel that is extremely enjoyable. The music and songs are delightful and enhance the story.

Beautiful debut novel for anyone who needs more love and music in their life

Defiant to the darkness in our daily life, “love in the light” is a beautiful debut novel that’s really in a class of its own the original composition music has the story dancing off the page. I found it incredibly heartwarming and moving, the characters have their internal battles to conquer and you’ll find yourself rooting for them and getting hooked on each characters unique voice. It’s one of the best displays I’ve seen of a neurodivergent character and how their style of thinking is a strength that grows with the acceptance and love they discover in this book.
