I really enjoyed this. It's funny and smart with great characters you find yourself really wanting to spend time with.

A very interesting and heart warming romantic novel with characters to make your heart melt. The storyline was humorous and when it ended, I had a goofy smile on my face. Worth every second.

A love story that starts with the couple getting together in the first part of the book? Can it work?
It worked. I liked this book very much, I liked the characters and the banter.

Review: Mary Jayne Baker is an amazing story teller. I had seen a lot from this author on Facebook and this is my first I have read by her. I really liked it. A brilliant read that just keeps on giving. I couldn't put this one down.

This is my last book review of 2017 and what a gorgeous book to finish the year with. I loved the down to earth feel of this story with the characters feeling so realistic, it was such a joy to see Bobbie and Ross bring the lighthouse back to life. The characters act on impulse along with the help of alcohol and come up with a brilliant plan to open a music venue in a lighthouse. I was rooting for them all the way even with the obstacles that end up in their way. The question is will there be a happy ending?
There's something so charming about the premise of the lighthouse that easily pulled me into the story. Along with some fun minor characters that gave the story an extra lovely touch, a special mention has to go to Bobbie's twin their conversations were always lots of fun. With some fab one liners that I will have to borrow. There were some brilliant laugh out loud moments, plenty of giggles and I was pretty much smiling all the way through. The story has some deeper issues for example a lack of trust that gave the story a more balanced feel. If you are in need of a pick me up I can definitely recommend this story. I ended up reading Meet Me at the Lighthouse over two nights, I really wished I could have finished it in one evening as I didn't want to put it down!
Fun, flirty and wonderful!
Five stars from me!
With thanks to Harper Impulse and Netgalley for my copy. This is my honest and unbiased opinion.

I chose this book basically from the title and the picture. The story is good but I had a very difficult time staying with it because it is written with a great deal of British slang and dialect. I think if you are British this would be much easier to understand but I didn't enjoy trying to figure out what they were talking about all the time. The premise of the story is great and I lenjoyed that part of it but trying to plow through the snogging, pissers, kerfuffles, and razzles was just too much.

A story of a second chance romance which begins with the impulse purchase of a lighthouse! A contemporary romance with an unusual storyline. I really enjoyed this book.
I couldn't put it down and read it in a few days. I loved the characters in the book and the setting of the story in Yorkshire. I laughed out loud in places. It is a fun story, with heartwarming characters and a hint of Grand Designs.
A really lovely book to read on a sunny afternoon or n holiday this charming story will make you smile. Highly recommended.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

I enjoyed this book, the story of Bobbie and Ross. They know each other from school and shared their first kiss at 14, but both are now recovering from broken relationships – so they buy a lighthouse! The book is well written and funny, with a selection of quirky characters – I wouldn’t mind another book about this group of Yorkshire folk.
The only bit of the story that annoyed me was that they bought it for a £1

5☆ Fun, Sexy, feel good, laugh out loud read!
Meet me at the lighthouse is by far one of my favourite reads.
It has everything, A Lighthouse, Romance, Humour, Passion, Alcohol, Elvis, Plenty of Music, Jealous Ex's, Crazy Parents, Family Dramas,Community Spirit...
When Bobbie and Ross cross paths outside Cragport’s Victorian Lighthouse... who knew their lives would literally change forever!
Bobbie and Ross grew up together, shared their first kiss together at the school disco to Robbie Williams - Angels.
But then they grew up and parted.
10 years later and they stumble across each other when Ross is putting up a for sale sign on the Lighthouse...' £1 ' is literally what he's uncle was asking for.
Bobbie decides that she wants the Lighthouse and tells Ross that she wants to buy it.
That evening she meets her twin sister Jess in the local pub to celebrate their birthday.
But who should happen to be in the pub....Ross!! He is performing on stage.
It's from this point the night ends up with ALOT of alcohol being consumed
Oh and..... a partnership is formed
Ross and Bobbie decide to pay 50p each for the lighthouse and their plan is to set up a music charity for kids inside the lighthouse.
The next morning after waking up together and one major hangover the two set out to put the plans in motion. First stop contracts to sign over the ownership.
Bobbie and Ross find trouble at every hurdle.
No one said transforming the lighthouse would be easy. But they are both so determined to make it happen, and with the community on board what could possibly go wrong!!
I absolutely adore Bobbie and Ross.
I loved watching their friendship blossom and their sizzling passion between them was electric! In and out of the bedroom!!
However their relationship is far from plain sailing.
Bobbie was previously in a relationship, well that was until she caught her scum bag Ex Alex cheating on her.
Bobbie doesn't find it easy to trust, she appears to be strong but has a vulnerable side.... oh and definitely a green eyed monster side... which to be honest If I was in her shoes I would of acted exactly the same way!
Ross is still married to Claire.... well technically they are separated!
So when Claire shows up to throw a spanner in the works... will Ross behave? And what is he hiding?
I could go on for ages writing about the story it's so good, but it will give everything away.......
I urge you to pick it up and discover for yourselves whether the lighthouse is a success.... or if Bobbie and Ross make it.... or will everything just sink around them!
All of the characters are fun, entertaining, relatable, even when you want to hate Claire for instance... she redeems herself and opens up a whole other side to her, which you can't help warming too.
I loved the charm of Cragport, how everyone knew each other and everyone was willing to help.
The story line is captivating and had me hooked from the very first page.
I was rooting for Bobbie and Ross from the outset... I mean how cool is it to transform a lighthouse into a music venue for kids!!
I adore lighthouses there is something very endearing about them, so when I see this book and the cover I knew I just had to read it. (My cousin even got married in a lighthouse, so magical)
I am really hoping there will be a book 2 as I think there is so much more to come from The Lighthouse!
Meet me at the Lighthouse really is a fun, light hearted read, which melted my heart and held me captive right till the very end!
I urge you to pick up this book and delve into The Lighthouse and become swept away with it's endearing charm and loveable characters.
Perfect read for lovers of Chick Lit, Rom Com, Cosy feel good reads, Music references.

What a page-turner! I was sucked into the story and couldn't leave until I'd finished the last page!

Originality defines this author’s books, the lighthouse in the title is an important character, as well as providing the perfect setting for this hilarious, sexy, romantic romp. Whilst second time romance is not as instantly gripping as love at first sight, the chemistry between the two main characters is undeniable and makes for a page turning read.
Like her first story, unscrupulous characters feature here to very good effect and give this story it’s realistic edge. The attention to detail is evident and makes the story a worthwhile read.
If you’re tired of reading tea shop romances you’ll find this story about a rundown east Yorkshire coastal resort, delightfully refreshing. Great story telling with interesting characters and lashing of romance, the perfect seaside treat.
I received a copy of this story from the author in return for an honest review.

Bobbie Hannigan was just taking the dog for a walk when she found herself buying a lighthouse for 1 pound. Not something you do every day of the week.
Bobbie ( lives a quiet seaside village sharing a cottage with her sister and their dog, Monty. She is happy enough at 28 with life she is making despite recently facing heartbreak and an unpleasant situation. She certainly wasn't expecting to buy a lighthouse and find the love of her life on a morning stroll but that's exactly what happens when she bumps into Ross Mason, a blast from her past.
Ross was the first boy she kissed and now it seems he might be the last one. Of course the path to love is never with an obstacle of two and Mary Jayne Baker certainly makes her characters face a few rocky moments throughout the book.
The endeavor to restore the lighthouse to its former glory and provide the youth with somewhere to play music is one that the whole village gets behind. There is a wonderful cast of supporting characters including Bobbie's sister, Jess and her mother, who is a masterful interrogator of any man who wishes to take on her daughters. This is a truly delightful book which holds your attention and draws you in - there are quite a few laughs on long the way and a tinge of sadness here and there. Glad I had the opportunity to discover this author and I hope that there will be more tales ahead.

Fantastic summer read. Its charming, witty, enjoyable easy read. The cover made me desperate to read it and usually when this happens I can get disapointed. But not in this case. They complimented each other perfectly. Was a refreshing read. Lovely characters that fitted well with the storyline itself. perfect

The cover is very pretty, vibrant and memorable. It compliments the story perfectly. The book was incredibly refreshing. There are 1000’s of romance novels on sale and often they can become mundane, repetitive and bland. Not in the case of Meet Me At The Lighthouse, Baker manages to keep her story refreshing and on point. With intricate side stories threaded through the main event. There was never a dull moment or a need to skim.
Bobbie is a unique and loveable character, I have to be honest and reveal that every time they said Miss Hannigan, I was immediately blasted back to the 1980’s movie Annie and I giggled each time. Bobbie is a modern women, strong, independent and someone I would like to know.
Baker has done a very good job of keeping the book modern without any cliche long drawn out scenes of lovey dovey nonsense. The book is witty, engaging and sentimental.
I recommend the book to lovers of love and to those who like to remember those gone before us and how important it is for us to keep shining a light for them.

A fun quick read, but at times a little skimmable. While I liked Ross and Bobbie together, at times there were too many issues that seemed to influence things but were not explained indepth. Made it more difficult to care about the characters at times. For example, the ex-wife or the ex-boyfriend, and why they were needed here. Or the way his mother ignored Bobbie and kept bringing the ex-wife Claire around. Or what happened to the guy who wanted to buy the lighthouse and argued against them getting the funding. Or about the gang of kids doing the destruction. I do not mean to be so picky, but these are questions that I had while reading. On the other hand, I did enjoy the book enough to keep reading, and see through to the end. Would still recommend, and it would actually be a good summer read, since it would be easy to pick up and also to put down.

This story was sweet and romantic! The characters were charming and funny.
This is a lovely story about doing up a lighthouse in a small town and the things that happen in the community.
The writing is good, with a nice dose of humour as well as emotion and the characters are likeable and well written. Overall I very much enjoyed this book.

A spectacular book packed with laughter and romance that had me gripped from the very first page.
I loved the characters in this book Bobbie and Ross. It is clear from the moment they meet after years apart that they are destined to be together.

Charming, witty, sweet and romantic!
This is a heartwarming story about small-town living, first loves, family, friendship, community, dreams, goals, music and of course the passion and tiresome commitment involved in refurbishing a derelict lighthouse.
The writing is amusing and fluid. The plot is a highly entertaining journey filled with laughs, drama, chemistry, and second-chance love. And the characterization is spot on with a whole gang of fun, quirky, spirited, and endearing characters.
This is the second novel I've read by Baker and once again she's proven she can write clever, lighthearted, laugh-out-loud funny stories with characters you won't forget.
Thank you to Mary Jayne Baker and HarperImpulse for providing me with a copy in an exchange for an honest review.

hat a truly delightful book this has been, I found it to be thoroughly enjoyable with a few funny moments thrown in.
The story was well written and draws you in right from the get go, I loved getting to know all of the characters and to see how the twins interacted with each other and all of the other characters. The setting and location of the book was so well written and highly descriptive, that you almost felt like you were there.
If you like a fun light and summer read then be sure to give this book ago.

OH MY! Meet me at the Lighthouse by Mary Jayne Baker is a serious contender for my favourite book of 2017. Without a doubt, Harper Impulse are not only fabulous at designing their covers but have the unique talent to search out books with a difference.
I loved this book from the outset, Bobbie Hannigan is as mad as me and immediately I warmed to the character. It was her birthday and not only did she impulsively buy a lighthouse for one pound (which would be something I would do), but she met the love of her life once more, her childhood sweetheart, Ross Mason, the gorgeous musician, the first boy she ever kissed. After a drunken reunion Ross puts up half the money, 50p and becomes a joint owner of the once glorious Cragport Victorian Lighthouse, their plan to turn it into a music venue, but it’s safe to say everything wasn’t always plain sailing.
For me, this book was impossible to put down, I read it in a couple of days with a silly grin etched on my face. It was an uplifting story, moved at great pace, all the characters were charming and I simply adored the setting.
The story had the right amount of giggles, romance and learning curves of life. This book by Mary Jayne Baker is definitely one for your summer holiday!
A story that is just perfection and full of fun!
