Loved how this story connected to her previous beach books but featured fresh new characters and storylines. Also loved that her female characters grow and are empowered to leave their antiquated relationships behind and discover their own voices and personal strengths.

Quick read with great plot...

I enjoy Jan Moran Stories because her heroines begin lost but don't require rescuing, just time to find their way. This book follows Moran's winning formula including the dynamics of mothers and daughters. I enjoyed the crossover inclusion of the Seabreeze Inn women, Ivy, Shelley and Carlotta Bay.

This is an enjoyable book that was over too quickly. Check it out.

Heartwarming New Series!

Author Jan Moran has done it again! Beach View Lane is the perfect start to her new Crown Island Book series. It's filled with heartwarming moments as well as emotions that range from the feelings of new love to the bottom of despair at losing everything. I bought this book yesterday. Once I started reading it, I couldn't stop! (Ms. Moran, you made me lose a night's sleep! -- Totally worth it.) If you enjoy heartwarming sagas of families, friends, and romance, this is the book for you.

Surprising read

Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2023

I’m a big fan of Jan Moran, but this book was disappointing. I’m an avid reader, not a professional writer so my opinion doesn’t really matter. But, this novel seemed to sway completely to a weird flow, starting around Chapter 15 and never recovered. The characters were all over the place along with the settings. The main character April has a major life change that is the catalyst for her life change. Every character seems to be left out in the cold with no closure. I will be anxious to read other reviews of this book to see if anyone else sees the inconsistencies and total confusion.

Another warm and wonderful series from Jan Moran!

Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2023

Jan Moran is one of my favorite authors. I have read all her Summer Beach and Summer Beach: Coral Cottage books, and loved them all. So, I was delighted to hope on my bike and head back to the CA coast with Ms. Moran and this new Crown Island series (think a cross between La Jolla, Laguna Beach, Del Mar, and San Diego with a touch of the Hotel Coronado thrown in for good measure).
Two of the main characters, April and her daughter Junie, were introduced in Ms. Moran’s Seabreeze Reunion (part of the wonderful Summer Beach series, and some of the Bay family make cameos here), and I really enjoyed diving into their stories here. I would categorize this book as “women’s fiction” with a touch of romance, since the focus really is on April and Junie.
This is a story about loss, second chances, and above all else, family (both the ones we’re born into and the ones we choose). The dialogue really sparkles, especially between April and her soon-to-be ex-husband, as well as potential love interest Ryan Kingston. I found the characters, situations, and again, the dialogue, to be very true to life. I’m ready to dive into the second book in this series, Sunshine Avenue, when it’s released in September. And yes, I’m hoping that, after Book #2, there will be additional books in this series!
I received an advanced reader copy of this book from the author, and am happy to provide this honest review.
