Cheesy but good

I wanted to read a romantic story set near the ocean , with a little mystery involved (and not too sappy). This story fit the bill.

Good ocean town setting

Any additional comments?

I understand the writer wanted to establish the main character as angry-ish and aloof from people. It was still hard to listen to. But I liked the setting and she brought some originality to the treasure and map theme so I kept listening. As the story evolved, I was glad that the main character lost some of her prickles and warmer and believable interactions with her parents and friends came into the story. The characters didn't have particular depth but the plot had some freshness and surprises and the main character was moved through realistic stages of struggle and self-insight that was positive and supportive to the reader since most of us have these things in our own lives. So, overall, I did enjoy this book.

Great story , completely entertaining!

Not sure how I even tripped across this book, but boy am I glad I did! First I was excited that it was 11 hours long, I love the long ones, and of course if they are entertaining!
This book had a little bit of everything, a beautiful small town on the coast of MI, the fixing up of a Lighthouse, a wonderful bit of history, a treasure hunt, love, and so much more!
This is well worth the credit for all you easy listeners out there that just want to listen to a feel good book and be throughly entertained!!
Late Rudd does a great job narrating and I will definitely look for more books by Cynthia Ellingsen.

Michigan <3

This book is wonderful! I have lived on Lake Michigan my whole life. The way the author described the feelings that come with my Great Lake, combined with the energy of living in a small tourist town made my heart flutter. I began reading this book last night, and was sad when I had to go to sleep because I didn't want to put it down. I'll be sending a copy of this book to my mom. To the author: thank you!

Entertaining story line but has some flaws.

The characters are likable but there was one (or two) many times explaining her trust issues. It made me fast forward a couple of times. The voice sounded system generated often.

Delightful, fun, light, romantic cozy mystery

To the extent I have a usual listening fare The Lighthouse Keeper is not a likely novel for me to read. However, this book is so delightful that I'm happy I selected it. It is a story of family, family history, love, romance, renewal, discovery and a mystery of lost treasure set in a small town on the shore of Lake Michigan. Kate Rudd narrates beautifully.

Totally enthralling

From the first chapter to the last, I thoroughly enjoyed this book! It was fun to read and the action was just enough to keep me thinking about what might come next. I especially appreciated the narrator. She was able to provide different, pleasing intonation to the variety of voices in the story. I will look for more of the books from this author. You will be pleased with this one!

C-

Story was so-so, reader was very stilted which I found very distracting. Not sure where these fab reviews are coming from.
