Summer in the Spotlight by Liz Johnson

 

Summer in the Spotlight by Liz Johnson is third in the Prince Edward Island Shores, but is a stand alone novel. Kelsey Ahern is the high school drama teacher who is losing her job because the local theater was damaged. She decides to do a benefit production to raise money for the theater. Levi Ross is the quiet school facilities director at the high school and agrees to help her. Levi has cared for Kelsey for a long time.

This was a sweet story. Levi and Kelsey were kind, broken, and lovable characters who changed and grew throughout the story. I enjoyed escaping to Prince Island for the conclusion of the series, and the Ross family including Mama Potts get a happy ending. It was a pleasure to visit with the other islanders and see the community support for the Ross family while watching the play, stage, and benefit come together. The themes of family, justice, and forgiving yourself were beautifully woven into the story.

The beautiful setting, wonderfully developed characters, and themes added to this fantastic story. I highly recommend Summer in the Spotlight. I am sad to leave Prince Edward Island, but look forward to the author’s future stories.

I was given a copy by the publisher and not required to write a positive review.
