The characters in this book are very believable and three-dimensional. For those who know me, that obviously means it was unputdownable and, in consequence, an amazingly awesome story! Loved it! I was eager to dive into The Lightkeeper’s Ball because of this and the fact that the cover was just so beautiful! I began the book at breakfast and finished it before dinner.

I have never read any book by Colleen Coble yet, but I have always heard great things about them. I would recommend The Lightkeeper's Ball to people who like Colleen Coble's writing. Whereas the mystery was good enough to keep me interested, though not complicated enough to surprise me, Olivia's charade wasn't very plausible, as well as the fact that Harrison asked the lady's hand without even knowing her first name. On the other hand, Harrison was a good character, I liked the way he cared for her mother and the strong belief he held in his dreams. up.) and, most of all, the way the author constantly tried to make her appear as "an admirable clever woman that wanted more from life than mere balls and dresses". Olivia was probably the main reason: she was too irritating for her own good with her spoiled ways and her rudeness (in some parts, I was internally begging her to shut.

I really liked the premise and I expected a good mix of mystery and romance, but The Lightkeeper's Ball was not exactly a masterpiece. I was disappointed by this book, even though I quite enjoyed it.
