As Bluestar Island prepares for a very special Christmas wedding, Santa’s sleigh crashes into The Lighthouse Café, reuniting Bluestar’s beloved waitress with her former fiancé.
In this holiday novella, Darla Evans has carved out a quiet life for herself as a waitress at The Lighthouse Café. Up until this point, she’s conveniently avoided the one man who shattered her heart and her dreams. But when a wedding draws him back to the island, she knows their meetup is unavoidable.
Tech entrepreneur William “Will” Campbell has returned to his childhood home to be the best man in his father’s wedding. But first his father has a very special task for him—to restore a sleigh in time for the wedding. However, there’s not much time until Christmas. He just might need some help.
As snowflakes cover the small town of Bluestar, Will and Darla work together to make it a very special holiday wedding. With the past looming between them, will the magic of the season open their hearts and allow them to find love again?
Includes a holiday recipe for Darla’s frosted sugar cookies!
A Lighthouse Café Christmas by Jennifer Faye is a sweet second chance at love holiday romance. Sometimes it takes an island to rekindle a flame.
Can Darla and Will find love again this holiday season?
Darla
Darla is a waitress at the Lighthouse Cafe, but she is also an inspiring author. Yet, I feel her best trait is her ability to put people at ease. She truly listens to what they say and allows them to be themselves without judgment. Years ago, she and Will called off their engagement, and Darla hasn’t honestly gotten over it. This holiday season, though, the whole town is pushing her and Will together.
I love Darla as a character. She gives her all even when she doesn’t feel like it. Darla has that feel-good way about her. We see her character in the books before this one. It was nice to get to know Darla and how she thinks.
Will
Will is a nice guy, but he seems to have matured since the days before he broke it off with Darla. We find out why he felt the need to break up, even if that was only part of the problem. One thing for sure is that he still loves Darla a lot.
I like Will. He is a nice guy, even if he is a tech genius with lots of money. Will doesn’t throw it around, but his inner self brings it up a few times. We see much more maturity in Will’s part during the story.
Five Stars
My rating for A Lighthouse Café Christmas by Jennifer Faye is five stars. I truly enjoyed the story. Darla needed to find her heart again, and apparently, Will kept it safe all this time. I highly recommend this and all of Jennifer Faye’s books. They are those sweet, feel-good types of romances.
There is a recipe at the end of the book for Darla’s Frosted Sugar Cookies. I plan to check it out.
