5.0 out of 5 stars A ROMANTIC PAGE TURNER

Absolutely loved this novel from Leanne Lovegrove - evocative, romantic and with twists and turns that I didn't see coming. She has an incredible ability to take you to the place all those years ago where Luca and Esther meet and then to follow their romance that continues to burn, despite their distance and circumstances. I couldn't put it down even if I wanted to. A delight and I can't wait for her next novel.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is an emotional and beautiful story
Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2020
What a story this one is, I am not sure where to start, I loved it so much set in the early 1950’s the author MS Lovegrove has taken on some issues that sadly are still around today hopefully one day they will be gone. Let us meet Italian immigrant Luca Morietti washed up on the shores of Bruny Island in Tasmania and Esther Anderson who lives in the lighthouse on Bruny Island with her family and share their journey to a HEA years in the making.

Luca has emigrated from Italy to flee war and a family problem he is working hard to make a new life and hopes to one day have a vineyard here in Australia, but finding a good coffee in Australia is not easy. When the boat he is on gets washed ashore after a storm, he is rescued by a beautiful girl and he loses his heart to her almost instantly.

Esther enjoys reading the Australian Woman’s Weekly and daydreaming about the fashions and the parties as she works hard to help her family running the lighthouse on Bruny Island, when she discovers a man washed up on shore, a man who has very dark hair and is obviously not Australian, she is drawn to him and feels the need to help him get well, losing her heart along the way.

This story had me on the edge of my seat in many parts as Luca and Esther are pulled apart they have found love and passion and a mother steps in and tears them apart, one year apart and neither of them have stopped loving each other. Esther and her family end up in Hobart and Esther never stops looking for Luca. Life is hard and being destitute is not good and Esther is forced to care for her family and this takes a twist that is not at all pleasant for her.

I think Luca is just a fabulous hero I loved him and Esther what a heroine she is so strong and what she went through to care for her family and then the way her mother and sister treated her no one deserves, but the family she loves needs to be looked after. I did worry at times that Luca and Esther might not find their deserved HEA but they did and I cried bucket loads of happy tears.

This is a fabulous story, all the emotions the tears, the happiness made it a story that I loved and would highly recommend to anyone. Thank you MS Lovegrove for the copy to read I do look forward to many more.

About this book:
Some loves really are forever.
In 1952, Luca Moretti flees war-ravaged Italy and shipwrecks against the shores of Bruny Island, Tasmania. Esther Anderson is the lighthouse keeper’s daughter. Her life is simple growing up on the isolated island community, and then an exotic visitor opens up the outside world to her and ignites her passion for life, and for Luca. Abruptly, her dreams of love are quashed, and when tragedy strikes, she's forced to forge a new life in Hobart. Survival becomes the focus of her life until she and Luca reunite. Their love is more precious now, and together they find the strength to forge a new life.

I admit I’m not a huge historical fiction fan, but there are some I fall in love with. This is one of them. I was entranced from the start with Esther’s life. She lives in such a strict home where her parents give her way too many chores(in my humble opinion).

When the mysterious, gorgeous & intriguing Luca literally washes up on their isolated island from a shipwreck, her life changes. Their romance is for the ages. They go through so many obstacles when they’re separated and have to find their way back to one another.

I was swept away reading their love story that they were swept away in.

This wonderful read is available now. Make sure you pick it up and read it over the holidays. 🎁

3.0 out of 5 stars Keeper of the Light
Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2020
The Keeper of the Light is a story that shows how one chance meeting can change two lives forever. When a strange man washes up on the shore in the isolated cape where Ester's family runs the lighthouse, her eyes are opened to the world beyond the one she knows. She is intrigued by the world outside of her little village in Australia and she is unable to look back. Her love affair is quick as Luca is only in the country as a migrant on a government work scheme. But she never forgets him, nor he her.

We see their lives progress and get a glimpse into 1950's Australia, the historical aspects were really interesting to read. When tragedy strikes and she is forced to do what she can to save her family, she ends up in a seriously abusive relationship. Caution, these scenes are really hard to read. Through it all you see the strength of this young woman to survive and how sometimes love never dies. I will also say there's a lot of overt racism in this book towards Luca and while entirely accurate to the time, these parts are also hard to read.

Thanks to Kate Rock Book Tours for a copy of this novel in exchange for my honest review.

I enjoyed the time frame written about in this book but did wonder at the initial encounter of the two main figures. It is an easy evolving story of life & times in Tasmania in the ‘50s covering family conflict, romance, immigration & the growth of mixed cultures. This tends not to be a genre I read often so I only gave it 3 ⭐️ so accept my review along with others as your guideline.

Reviewed in Australia on October 2, 2020

Wow, wow, and wow. I was so excited to read this and jumped into it as soon as I could. I'm glad I did. Keeper of the Light is such a beautiful story about a young Aussie woman and a shipwrecked Italian overcoming life's hurdles to be together. From page one, Leanne Lovegrove had me enthralled, crying, swooning, heartbroken, on the edge of my seat, hoping, and cheering. Esther and Luca are the CUTEST and I just loved reading their story. I couldn't recommend it enough.
