Bliss Sherman comes to the cape determined to make a name for herself and her new firm by accomplishing an incredible engineering feat--moving the Cape Destiny Lighthouse inland before it's swallowed by the Atlantic Ocean. Bliss, who has struggled with dyslexia, discrimination, and betrayal by her ex-husband and former business partner, Jonathan, faces her greatest challenge when she falls in love with the handsome, mysterious descendant of the lighthouse keepers, Parker Swain, who vehemently opposes moving the lighthouse.When Bliss is viciously attacked, she begins to wonder if the curse that is rumored to be attached to the lighthouse may be true. Who is sabotaging the move? Who is trying to ruin her? Who wants to kill her? When all clues point to Parker, she dismisses her suspicions, deciding to trust him and her heart, but as the evidence mounts against Parker, she begins to doubt not only herself and her heart, but Parker. Can she trust her judgment? Can she trust Parker? Most importantly, when she is trapped inside the lighthouse with him during a hurricane, can she trust Parker with her life?

It starts out like a pretty typical romance novel. She's in charge of moving a historical lighthouse from its disintegrating home so a safe spot further inland, and he's agin' it. You know of course that they are going to end up between the sheets because sparks fly instantly.
And from there on, they fight, they circle back to each other, lingering glances are exchanged as they try to deny their feelings, a secret from his past threatens to destroy her trust; she's hholding oonto a secret of her own, etc etc etc. We've all been down this road before.
Okay, the first problem is -- everybody in the book, including the hero, agrees that if the lighthouse isn't moved, it's going to be destroyed. So where are the objections coming from?
And the second is ... about three-quarters of the way through, it suddenly tries to become a suspense book and one of the characters goes completely (and conveniently) off the rails in an utterly unbelievable dramatic climax. (And this is not a spoiler, just a statement of fact --- ONE Vicodin tablet dissolved in Alka-Seltzer, will not knock a person out.)
I probably wouldn't even have finished this, but I was stranded without anything else to read. Reminder to self: download some more Kindle content, even if you have to PAY for it in order to get books that have been well written. ( )
