Hold Back the Night

by Sandra Steffen

Starr Davison was climbing the stairs of the old, weathered lighthouse when she came upon a tall, dark-haired stranger in a bomber jacket. She sensed that he meant her no harm, but what was he doing here, trespassing on Uncle Mick's property?

From the first moment he saw her, Shane Wells knew why her parents had called her Starr. With sparkling gray eyes and features as alluring as starlight, the woman deserved her name. He couldn't deny the attraction he felt toward her, but he knew she would hate him once she discovered why he had come to this quiet village on the eastern shore of Lake Michigan.

At first, Starr tried to dismiss the stranger as an overzealous tourist. Then she learned he had come from Chicago to seek her adopted uncle--the keeper of the lighthouse, the only parent she had ever known. Shane Wells demanded answers from Uncle Mick and Starr wanted the outsider to keep his distance. She couldn't bear to lose her uncle, her beacon in every storm, to a stranger!

I did like this book, it was pretty good. I like the setting, it could have had a little more descriptions for settings. some parts dragged a little bit, and others that were a bit rushed. I liked the dog, Trixie, the most.
