Light My Heart (Crystal Shores Book One) (Small-Town Contemporary Romance)

Light My Life is book one in the Crystal Shores series and it took me on an emotional roller coaster ride. Sarah had a rough life growing up and Eddie lost his wife and was left a single dad. This is a heartbreakingly beautiful story about two people who find each other at the right time. I absolutely loved Sarah, Eddie, Kelsey and their journey of life and love. I can't wait to read the next book in the series.

Terra Kelly brings us book 1 in a series called Crystal Shores. We meet widower Eddie, his daughter Kelsey and Sarah. It’s an intriguing story, with down to earth characters, drama, secrets, heartbreak, healing and so much more. If small town is your thing then your going to want this one. I’m definitely looking forward to reading more from this series and author.I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
