Jules Lovestoread's Review at Mrs Condit & Friends review blog: Don’t you love when you read a book by a new author (new to you), and you like it so much you immediately go to see what else they’ve written? That’s what I did with this book.Where the Lovelight Gleams gives us the story of Ryan and Cary – best friends, and co-stars on the hot new TV show, Space Academy. It begins with them filming an onscreen kiss that they have to share, but we quickly find out that Ryan has actual feelings for Cary, which are unrequited. Or, are they?? ;)I loved how this story unfolded. The pace and flow are perfect. Keira Andrews does a fantastic job at getting you immediately sucked into these characters, and their situation. You feel both sides, and root for them both individually and together as things play out. Ryan’s family is FABULOUS. There are so many funny, charming, and endearing moments at the cabin. Cary needs this family Christmas so badly – I don’t think he even realized how badly – it was wonderful to see Ryan’s entire family just take him under their collective wing.The chemistry between Cary and Ryan is so good. There are many possible traps here that the author could fall into: Predictability of a friends-turned-more story; possible disbelief factor of a GFY plotline…but, I think she avoids all of that. The story is fresh, and the characters have a deep affection and respect for each other, but none of it felt predictable or cheesy to me.This was an adorable story. Perfect for a nice, little Christmas read, or any time of year!!
