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. Readers will wish for more substance, but there's still enough charm here to please series fans.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.
Parrish keeps things surface level as she packs in the plot, including a half-baked story line about Zachary's missing sister, leaving little time to dig deeper into her delightful characters and their connection. But as they volley, the men begin to get to know each other and their animosity turns to friendship-and then something more. When it becomes clear that Bram will be Zachary's only true competition for this year's contest, Zachary can no longer contain his temper and accidentally incites a prank war between the two. He's content to spend his days working from home as an architect and his nights designing for the contest using the creativity his day job doesn't value. Zachary doesn't appreciate Bram's attempts to disrupt his morning routine with small talk.
As the new man in small-town Garnet Run, Wyo., Bram Larkspur is charmed by the welcome he receives from neighbors, all except for Zachary Glass, the six-time winner of their street's Halloween decoration contest. Parrish's sweet but shallow fourth Garnet Run romance (after The Lights on Knockbridge Lane) leaves readers wanting more.
