ARC Review: Escape to Lighthouse Cove by Kate Hewitt

Publication Date: August 12, 2026

Grace and Noah’s love story in Escape to Lighthouse Cove was full of heart, healing, and hard work. Kate Hewitt’s books always have such a warm ambiance of found family in them, and this is no exception. Lighthouse Cove itself truly was the perfect destination for these two to fall in love!

Noah develops such a soft spot for Grace’s son Jacob, and that’s something that totally resonated with me too as a reader. I loved seeing both Grace and Noah interact with Jacob. There was so much tenderness there, and it never failed to make me feel warm inside.

There was definitely some heavier content in this book between Noah’s brother’s passing and Grace’s ex-husband’s actions prior to the start of the story. Both Grace and Noah, as well as Grace’s son Jacob, had a lot of healing to do. They work on that journey together, but it’s definitely something to note prior to going into the story.

Thank you to Boldwood Books for the opportunity to read and review this book! I received a free advance copy of this book via NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving a review. All opinions expressed are my own.
