The Lightkeeper: A Small-Town, Grumpy-Sunshine Romance (The Kinkades) Kindle Edition

4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,104 ratings

Aurora Cross just got the educational opportunity of a lifetime—to complete her coastal biology thesis at one of Maine’s most iconic lighthouses. She didn’t realize the toughest, most reclusive creature inhabiting the keep was a broody artist with more secrets than the sea.

Kit Kinkade has had enough of the world. He returned from war and even with the support of his family, found no shelter from his demons. So, he relegated himself to the most secluded spot in town—stranded by the sea as the newest lightkeeper of the Friendship lighthouse.

Left alone with his paints and his purpose, Kit was perfectly happy to withdraw from the world until he stumbles over the bright-eyed, beautiful woman invading his solitude for the next three months.

However, if Aurora is good at one thing, it’s learning. She’s good at observing and studying, noting the smallest changes and the slightest shifts that can cause marine life—and grumpy men—to evolve.

When one kiss brings Kit out of his darkness and into her world, Aurora will do everything she can to show him there’s a place for him there… and in her heart.

    So far this is my favorite in this series. Kit and Aurora's story was so very good. Kit who struggles with his past and so much more will grab at your heart. He loves his family but struggles and lives in the Lighthouse. Aurora Cross, a Researcher invades his peace and comes into his life like the storms he paints. The love and loyalty of his family is amazing and the author makes you feel. You will have moments of laughter and of tears. There are maybe about a handful of books I have read that have made me cry, The Light keeper did that too me. It just strangled my heart. There are also hot passionate scenes between these two that make the pages sizzle.

    Having read The Woodsman I knew going in this would be an emotional book but the depth of Kit’s hurt was not something I was prepared for. This book was emotional, but it was also hopeful. Kit had to learn to live again and that did not come easily.

    I love a good quirky heroine and Aurora was just that. It was that quirkiness that initially broke through Kit’s barriers with her spewing facts about the sea creatures she was researching. I loved the way she quietly burrowed her way into Kit’s life. She used her gift of observation to find ways to help Kit and it really worked for the plot. She was patient and kind. She never showed pity or disgust, which is what Kit expected. And she fought hard for Kit.

    Kit was a very broken main character. He had spent a decade pushing people away, but his usual tactics just didn’t work on Aurora. I loved his character arc and healing journey. Aurora was the perfect person to break through his shell and get him to start living again.

    As much as I love Rebecca Sharp’s romantic suspense books, she definitely did this one justice. It was well written and emotional. It had humor to lighten the mood. And it had a very loving family at its core. The Kinkade’s are the type of family everyone wants to be a part of. They were loving and understanding and always there for one another. I can’t wait for Frankie to get a little taste of her own matchmaking medicine next!

    Kits story is full of emotions, where you find out his back story. He meets Aurora and you can't help falling in love with her also. She spends a lot of time observing life, which helps her to get her man. The family is still full of fun. The author sets up the next stories in the series, with her hints dropped here and there, without distracting from the story you are reading.

    This is a fantastic read! Kit is a tortured soul who locks himself in a lighthouse and paints only leaving once a month to run errands when he runs out of food and coffee. His lighthouse is invaded by Aurora when she is assigned to spend the semester studying the sea life around the shore. Mr grumpy makes it known he’s not happy about her presence but Miss Sunshine doesn’t let it affect her. It’s going to be a long four months for Kit. We get the rest of Kit’s crazy loving family as they worry about the man who has and still is suffering s o much. I loved the fact Aurora was not the typical main female character who is perfect and a size 0. Kit proves some men love women with lots of curves. This book is an emotional one and had me in tears more than once. I’m officially in love with the Kincade family!

    I absolutely loved it ...kit's demons and how Aurora handled him absolutely amazing... I can't wait to see what happens next with all of the family ^_^

    My title pretty much sums this book up. A small town romance with plenty of spice yet heartwarming.

    Aurora is our masters student in biology while Kit is the reclusive lighthouse keeper. The trauma Kit endured and the PTSD he suffers is so heart breaking but his recovery with Aurora's help is inspiring. I love that he admits she didn't "fix him". No, she, like a lighthouse, guided him, showed him light but it was up to him to navigate the storm and fight.

    Overall, quick read with a captivating story and plenty of steamy scenes.
