‘The light house’ - A love story.
Art has always been Blake McGrath’s life. Scarred by tragedy, he’s hiding from the world on a lonely beach, struggling with loss and bitter regrets.
Connie is a disillusioned art dealer with troubled relationship issues of her own. Through her sudden mysterious appearance, Blake once again returns to the craft he has mastered to prove to himself that there is hope, that redemption is possible… and that love can last.

Favorite Quotes:
“The sudden
silence was deafening.”
“Blake saw something
move behind Connie’s gaze, some liquid stir of secret emotion.”
“Her sister
reminded Connie of a dried flower, or maybe a black and white photo. Somewhere in her past, the color had been
drained from her life, and Connie couldn’t quite recall when.”
“’There are
two things that define a person,’ he said levelly. ‘Your patience when you have nothing, and
your attitude when you have everything.’”
“The moment he
kissed her had haunted her ever since.
She still felt little flutters of her heart, like lingering tremors that
follow a quake.”
“’I’ve spent
endless hours studying your face and talking photos of you,’ Blake said
solemnly ‘and yet I don’t think I ever saw you quite as clearly, or as
perfectly as I see you right now.’”
My Review:
Despite my
love of steamy books, I may have been one of the few people alive who had not
read a Jason Luke book, yeah - I know! But
until I recently picked up The light
house, I belonged to that tiny minority.
I get it now – this guy has some writing chops. Mr. Luke’s descriptive writing for The light house was emotive, melancholy,
and quite moving. I wasn’t expecting
such a tender and gentle love story between a grieving male recluse, and a
woman running away from her poor choices.
At times the story seemed a bit melodramatic, but grief does bring those
overlays to bear. I was captivated by both
the plot and the writing style, and breezed right through the book in a
day. But to my vast shock and despite
Mr. Luke’s erotic reputation, this book was so tame I plan to recommend it to
my elderly mother and her Sunday School book club… you heard me… there were no
graphic sexual scenes, in fact, there was no sex at all until I was at the 70%
mark, and even then, it was PG rated. I
am stunned, but my mother and her blue haired friends will be delighted.
