Fisher's Light (Fisher's Light, #1) in Some Like It Hot!

May 04, 2015 Elisabeth Cole rated it did not like it

After reading reviews and the sample I couldn't wait to buy this book! What an incredible disappointment it turned out to be. The title should have been "Fisher's Light, a Book of Every Cliche Known to Writers" because that's all it was, one cliche after another. Lucy was the biggest doormat I've ever read. The few times she was even slightly sarcastic or got upset she immediately felt so guilty she would find that person to apologize for her behavior. Even after being treated so horribly by Fis ...more

Angst. Angst everywhere.

This is an unconventional romance. It doesn't focus on a blooming romance, but on a ravaged one attempting to come back to life. Fisher and Lucy were man and wife, high school sweethearts turned loving couple, until Fisher's mind became so broken by the horrible reality he faced as a Marine that he went into a self-destructive spiral, catapulting his relationship with Lucy into destruction in one fatidic night.

Fisher’s Light is the amazing love story of Fisher and Lucy. Fisher is a Marine who is now home after being injured on his last deployment. However, he is dealing with so much more than any physical ailment. Lucy is his wife, his rock, his light. But Fisher is struggling with so much darkness, will he ever see the light again? “To get to the good, sometimes you have to live through the bad.” Fisher and Lucy truly put this quote to the test.

I have always enjoyed the writings of Tara Sivec and Fis ...more

“The only way you’ll get to the end is by starting at the beginning. Maybe Lucy just needs a reminder of how it all started.”

Loved this book….even when I was crying my eyes out! It was a bit different from other romances I have read. It opens with the heartbreaking end to a marriage that should have lasted forever, but Fisher, our tortured hero, has pushed his soulmate, Lucy, out of his life just when he needed her most.

Fisher has been to hell and back…his mind is tormented and dark. He is a hero who did several tours in the Middle East. Each time he returned he lost more of his mind and soul, replacing the joy and love with darkness and nightmares. His drinking definitely didn’t help. Without ruining this beautiful romance, Fisher realizes his mistake and makes strides to help himself and return to his hometown to battle for Lucy’s heart again. It may be the hardest battle he’s ever faced.

“To get to the good, sometimes you have to live through the bad.”

Lucy and Fisher, along with us, have a lot of bad to go through to get to any good that might be left…be prepared it’s painful yet beautiful. There were happy tears as well as sad tears. Tara Sivec really knows how to connect her readers with her characters and story. You will feel every tear and every laugh with them.

A good portion of the story is told through Fisher in flashbacks through his journal. It’s the story of how he and Lucy met and fell in love. By doing this, I felt like I was a part of their group of friends. I love when the writer pulls me in so much that I can experience the book through my senses She did just that! I could feel the ocean breezes on my face and taste the salt in the air. My favorite part was the lighthouse. She used so much imagery and really tied everything into that special lighthouse and the special beacon it provided for this couple. You will see what I mean when you read it.

While this is one of my favorite romances, it brought more light and understanding to the issues facing our women and men in the armed forces when they return home. We all need to be aware and supportive to our troops and know that they may have changed, but they still have the same soul we love. Thanks, Tara Sivec, for a beautiful, emotional, and heartwarming story!
