Lizbeth Sullivan looks forward to her upcoming wedding. She and William are ecstatic to be tying the knot and work vigorously together to organize the huge event. One thing that Lizbeth wants more than anything is for her father to escort her down the aisle. His duties usually take him away from home since he is a Captain of his own fishing vessel, the Misty Pride. For Lizbeth, it has been a harrowing nightmare each time her father is out at sea and a storm gale arises. On the eve of their marriage, a horrendous storm shatters mayhem on the seas that has Lizbeth on pins and needles worried about her father. She stands on the widow’s walk watching the terrible gale as she prays all the ones in the ship will be given safe passage home. William, concerned over Lizbeth, decides to stay with her not desiring to leave her alone. She seeks the reassurance that the lighthouse light will guide the men to shore safely but when the beacon of the light doesn’t shine, trepidation really sets in.

Widow's Walk is an electrifying story. I love books that are filled with tender romance and anything with lighthouses. Every beautiful detail in this poignant read is depicted brilliantly. The characters and their conversations along with the whole complete setting really enhance and make it unique. It is such a forceful read that I found myself relating to the characters in many ways. They reach out and touch down to the soul. Lizbeth is such a robust woman and with William she seems to stand even taller. I am so glad that he was an understanding man and not like some of the other citizens in that time frame. Nikki Leigh shapes a book that excels, gives hope and proves, romance is still alive. With her talent she composes a book where this reader visualized everything as if right in the middle of the storm, right down to the slashing waves. Her in-depth writing exhibits Lizbeth’s pain and joy throughout the story. She knows how to craft a masterpiece that touches not only the heart but also the soul. With a colorful well-rounded cast of secondary characters and a picturesque setting hard to forget, this reader found this book an absolute breath-taking, gratifying read. It is one that I could read again and again.

Lizbeth Sullivan is busy preparing for her wedding to the man of her dreams, William Kinsey. A violent storm blows up and her father is lost. It was a loss that could have been prevented if the lighthouse keeper had been doing his job properly. With the tragedy occurring a few days before her wedding, Lizbeth and William know they must postpone it. It is their love for each other that helps them get through the weeks that follow. William Kinsey and Lizbeth love each other as no one else can. It will be this love that will get them through the death of her father and all the other problems that follow.

Widow's Walk is a testimony to what we can endure and conquer if we had the right person next to us. Lizbeth was an independent woman indulged by her father. There were many people in the town who resented this and let her know. William was her perfect match. Very strong, he would not tolerate any one hurting her. Together they can handle and conquer everything life throws at them. Truly an inspiration to those of us who have handled tragedies, Widow's Walk is a must read novel. Kudos to Nikki Leigh for penning such a wonderful tale.
