Water Lily in July

A Romantic Suspense for Every Month of the Year (Flowers Can Be Fatal)

By: Clare Revell

Narrated by: Lynne Thompson

Kaylie Wells loves her job as a lighthouse keeper—the job she took after her husband died. As her heart heals, she works on a lily pond, nurturing the plants to bloom once again. The high point of her day is the cheeky fisherman who radios in for weather reports.

Rob Peacock is married to the sea, but dreams of the lady in the lighthouse to whom he speaks daily. When they finally meet, Kaylie is everything Rob longs for in a woman. But with his need to follow the fish, and her need for the solitude of the lighthouse, how will they forge a relationship?

When a massive weather system comes in that threatens to inundate the entire town and possibly wash away the lighthouse, Kaylie tries to warn Rob of the ensuing disaster. Out of radio range and on the leading edge of the weather front, Rob doesn’t acknowledge Kaylie’s call. As the storm sweeps in, bringing with it all the terror of a tsunami, Kaylie recognizes how much she cares for Rob. She refuses to lose another man she loves, so she hangs on at the lighthouse, keeping watch for his boat. Will Rob make it to safety? Or will the raging sea steal Kaylie’s second chance at love?

Will their romance be swept away in the storm?

As I've been working my way through the Flowers Can Be Fatal series I've pretty much quit reading the blurbs and started enjoying the element of surprise with an entirely unknown storyline. I've loved lighthouses since I was a kid, have even visited a few, so I was most happily surprised when I started Water Lily In July and found that it was set mostly on a lighthouse!

Out of the six audiobooks that I've listened to in this series I think that this is definitely my favorite one. I absolutely loved how Clare Revell changed tack with this one having more adventure elements instead of suspense. What more could you ask for than a heroine with a unique job, a handsome hero, the storm of the century, and a lighthouse that holds some mysterious secrets?

As with the previous audiobooks in the series I've really appreciated the continuity of the same narrator, it's made the stories flow more easily within my imagination. Though, once again the audio recording quality leaves something to be desired. However, a good narrator and a great story definitely outweigh any problems. So, whether you are lighthouse lover or a British fiction enthusiast Clare Revell has you covered with Water Lily In July, the 7th book in her Flowers Can Be Fatal series...

(I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are entirely my own.)

How did he get out?

He's a fisherman, she is one of four lighthouse keepers.
Their first contact was over the radio, him wanting an update on the weather. They each were attracted by the others voice.
A chance meeting on her days off, gave them a chance to get further acquainted.
Then drama and suspense occurs when disaster strikes.
How, when and where, is the author's story to tell. It is remarkable and nail bitting drama.
I believe you will enjoy this tale.
Again, as with the rest of the books in this series, there are strong religious beliefs expressed, so if this offends, then perhaps this book and /or series may not be for you.

Power of Love

Powerful story of love, and determined not to lose out on it, and the second chance at happiness and love.
Kaylie found healing, and enjoyed seeing for distances while up in the tower. Rob a true fisherman loving the openness and solitude. For her she also noticed his intoxicating voice, as though it held secrets.
Thinking they can’t change, till nature comes about and changes their priorities. Delightful story of second chances.
