Runaway bride meets her handy lady

This was another fun Lighthouse Lovers read. I found both characters to be likeable and relatable in their own ways. It was a really fast read for me. I liked the interactions between main characters and with their respective friends/ family. I also liked that Alana was able to find herself with support from Harmony. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Short & Sweet Sapphic Romance!

This was a great feel-good sapphic romance that I finished in an afternoon! I haven't read the previous books in the series, but I was still able to follow and enjoy this story. I really liked the whole cast of characters (including of course the main couple, Alana and Harmony), so I do want go back and read the earlier books now (luckily I don't mind spoilers!). This book was sweet (but with some good spice, too!) and simple and definitely made me smile. I wish it was a little bit longer, but I guess that's on me for not reading the first four books in the series that make the story more complete, too! I received a review copy for free, and am leaving this review voluntarily - but when you see me leaving reviews on the author's other books, those will be purchased by me!
