I am fine with both of those elements, but, at times, I wanted less focus on Gus (the daughter), and more on the main characters. The Lights on Knockbridge Lane is for those who like books with heavy focus on children and family (the daughter plays a HUGE role in the book) and doesn't mind a lower-steam kind of story. I liked having some background knowledge about the side characters but it isn't at all necessary to follow the story. It is a sweet story in the Garnet Run series, but it can be read as a stand-alone. My main goal of 2020-2021 is to find books that captivate me and take me out of my head (I think we can all agree on that), and The Lights on Knockbridge Lane mostly succeeded on that front. It's a warm, fuzzy Christmas romance, but you do have to be in a particular mood to read it. (Oct.I really enjoyed The Lights on Knockbridge Lane by Roan Parrish, even if I found it a bit hard to focus on the story at times.
Agent: Courtney Miller-Callihan, Handspun Literary. Any romance lover will get caught up in this charming Christmas tale. Parrish elevates what often can be formulaic in category romances to a fine art, with laugh-out-loud dialogue, eccentric but endearing characters, and an emotionally satisfying finale. Adam’s open personality and Wes’s guarded one perfectly complement each other, while bright, spider- and snake-loving Gus steals every scene she’s in. But when people-hating Wes gets spooked by the attention, their happily ever after may become a thing of the past. Wes even joins Adam and Gus in their attempt to completely cover their new house with Christmas lights, leading them to go viral on Instagram. Their chemistry sparks immediately leading to a hot hookup, and soon Adam, Wes, and Gus settle into a comfortable domestic dynamic. After precocious animal lover Gus breaks into Wes’s house to see his fabled menagerie of unusual pets, the men come face to face for the first time. Single dad Adam Mills recently returned to his hometown of Garnet Run, Wyo., with his eight-year-old daughter, Gus, settling next door to mysterious shut-in Wes Mobray, who only ventures outside his house after dark. Parrish’s standout third Garnet Run romance (after Best Laid Plans) pairs quirky neighbors at Christmastime.
