Review: K.L. Montgomery’s “The Light at Dawn”

I have to admit that I have a guilty pleasure. Even though I am a middle-age man, I turned 60 last year, I also like to read romance novels. This week K.L. Montgomery, who lives in the Rehoboth Beach area will be releasing her fifth book in her Romance in Rehoboth series, Wedding Wars. I have the book on pre-order and will review it as soon as I can.

The following is my review “The Light at Dawn” that I published on the ChesaDel Crier.

Romance Author K.L. Montgomery, who lives in the Rehoboth Beach area released The Light at Dawn, on February 7, 2019.

It’s not part of a series, nor does it take place on the Delmarva Peninsula. I found it to be a story of heartbreak as well as one of survival. Ms Montgomery does “warn you that this book is emotional or would make you cry”. And that it is.

In the opening pages Angelia White receives the worst news that a mother can receive, the death of a child. And then things gets worst, her husband leaves her.

Five years later and hundreds of miles from her home in the Adirondacks she meets Mark Lyon. A man so much different than herself and beliefs. Soon afterward Lyon experiences the death of his daughter in the same way she lost her son.

They develop a unique long distant friendship that only two with this same experience can have. An encounter a few weeks later brings them even closer together in a twist that brings their lives even more together.

The Light at Dawn is in ways your typical romance book, as those who read romances are well aware, but there are enough twists and unexpected elements that make this a unique and entertaining story.

Be warned, the book does contains sensitive subject matter that may be upsetting to some readers.
