review 1: When Brad was clinically dead for thirteen minutes, his life wasn't the only one forever changed. The effect this had on his wife Bailey and his marriage was unimaginable. One moment she was about to be a successful Manhattan realtor, and the next moment, she was married to a man who had "been to the light". A man with secrets, and a man who apparently wanted to go back to the light, literally. The secrets Brad is keeping and the changes in his behavior threaten to tear apart the fabric of their marriage. Bailey must decide whether or not to fight to save her marriage, or just go back to her old life.So many books are being written today regarding paranormal experiences, both fiction and non-fiction, that this should be a bestseller. Brad has the quintessential near... more-death experience with the tunnel of light, the out-of-body experience, the whole shebang. Combine that with Aunt Olivia who may or may not need help crossing over, a melancholy/mischievous ghost, a cast of memorable characters, romance, and a bit of mystery, and you have something for everyone. The feature I liked most was the setting. While I have never dreamed of owning a cute little B&B, the idea of a lighthouse just grabbed me from the beginning. And I must warn you: if you read in bed, or for that matter, in public, there are some laugh-out-loud moments in the book. I won't go into detail for fear of a commiting a "spoiler", but in Chapter 4, at the end of the chapter, the conversation Bailey had with the nurse caused me to laugh so loud that I awakened my husband. I volunteer here and now to review any and all future novels by Ms. Carter. 4 starsDisclosure of Material Connection: I received this book free from the publisher through the Pump Up Your Book book review bloggers program.

review 2: My first book by Mary Carter (ironic as this was my ex-mother in law’s name) - Like no other book I have read…it was quirky, funny, crazy, mysterious, out there, jumped around…yet all in all was entertaining! Being in the hotel business loved the lighthouse and the B&B setting….so realistic with the guests….story of romance, mystery, ghosts, adventure, and some good laughs! Brad did get on my nerves and wanted to kick him to the curb at times; loved Bailey’s sarcasm and guts….Mary, you do have quite an imagination! less
