This was a nice easy to read book. It has nice characters and set in a lovely sounding location.
It was a bit predictable but still an enjoyable read. It’s the perfect beach read too

This is a beach read. Which isn't bad, but this book got to be so predictable that it was hard to keep reading.
I wish that there had been more of a secret to the Ruby, but alas there wasn't. There really wasn't anything earth shattering or unknowable in the book.
It was hard to not yell at Meg and how ridiculous she was/is. She knows her aunt loves to read physical copies of books, yet decided to read a book that her aunt recommends on her kindle.
Way too much theorizing what might be, then actual action in the book.
This is just a meh book that one person can skip for the Dune Island series.

This refreshing read is just divine.
It is an easy read and oh so cosy, with a little mystery and alot of love.
Meg and her Great Aunt are gorgeous characters and I loved reading about their little inn and its renovations.
This is the perfect read to stay in with, drink hot chocolate and just get lost in this wonderful tale..

Grab a hot chocolate, cozy blanket, your favorite pet for snuggling, a handful of tissues and settle in for the perfect date with The Secret of Ruby's Lighthouse by Kristin Harper.
Imagine a small island that you can reach only by ferry. There is a sprawling beach with a picturesque light house, beautiful views, and a quaint inn. It is this little slice of heaven where Meg decided to spend the summer, helping her great aunt Ruby with renovations on the Inn that was bequeathed to her many years ago by a dear friend. The quaint but antiquated lodge is lacking in some of the more modern comforts. The two women are surprised to find out that Simon, the grandson of the former property owner who owns the land next door will be coming to town with his two children to live in the small cabin for the summer. Simon reveals his plans to sell the property he inherited to a developer who will be building a large resort which will surely put Ruby's Inn out of business. One night Ruby tells Meg she has a secret that she wants to share with her that she believes will change Simon's his mind about selling, but before she can tell her, Ruby falls ill. Meg tries desperately to uncover Ruby's secret before in hopes of changing Simon's mind before it is too late.
With a focus on family, a splash of romance and a twist of mystery, this book is a must read! I was captivated from the very first pages and was unable to put the book down. From richly developed characters (I dare you not to fall in love) to the beautiful imagery of the Island and the light house, it was so easy to get lost in this story. The author did an exceptional job not only developing the individual characters, but also the interwoven relationships between these characters. They are all so relatable, as if they could be your family member or a friend that you have known for ages.
This sweet story warmed my heart and was so beautiful that it brought tears to my eyes. It was the perfect way to escape the daily grind and lose myself along the island shores amongst people that I felt as though I had known forever.
Be sure to grab your copy of The Secret of Ruby's Lighthouse. You will not be disappointed........more likely, you will fall in love!

I am a huge fan of women’s fiction. I just finished an amazing book by Kristin Harper. The Secret of Ruby’s Lighthouse very well could be one of my favorites of the year.

I've really enjoyed this series so much!
When I seen this one I knew I had to have it. This one by far is my favorite.
I felt sorry for Simon but I still liked him.
I especially adored Abigail and Cody from the get go. To my idea they made the story. They will have you wrapped around your pinkie before you know it.
Aunt Ruby's secret was a wower. Secrets do eventually come out. Not right away but they do
But I feel like this was the best kind of surprise. It made my heart happy to finally have it revealed.
I've been reading this series since the beginning. I highly recommend reading book one first.
I just finished this delightful novel. I sure didn't want it to end because who knows how long another book will be written.
Meg was interesting herself. I loved her journey as well.
5 stars for a well written novel. I loved these characters so much.
I was happy to come back to Dune Island. Such a magical place.
I highly recommend.
My thanks to NetGalley for a copy of this book. I was NOT required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine.

“The lighthouse holds the key.”
It was so good to get back to Dune Island!
Meg Carter’s dream since childhood has been to spend an entire summer on Dune Island and it looks like she’s going to get her wish granted. She’s leaving behind the stress of a crumbling relationship and heading to help her great-aunt Ruby Berton run her 6-bedroom inn. She’s not there long when she realizes that even escaping to a quaint fishing village on the western side of Dune Island doesn’t mean that there won’t be challenges.
I saw so much of myself in Meg. I’m a control freak, too, and I’m always coming up with contingency plans because I don’t like being blindsided, either.
Harper writes with such depth and emotion that it’s easy to get swept up in her stories and imagine yourself in the setting. I got pulled into a great mystery, island history, intergenerational stories and secrets, and a sweet romance. This can be read as a stand-alone
I was gifted this copy by Bookouture and NetGalley and was under no obligation to provide a review.

Thank you NetGalley and Publisher for allowing me to read and review this book.
I very much enjoyed this book. The writing was great and the characters were well developed. I hope to read more from this author in the future.
