About the author

Jan Moran is a USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author of more than 40 books, including romantic women's fiction, beach reads, and 20th-century historical fiction. She is best known for the Summer Beach series, beginning with Seabreeze Inn, which has been optioned for television. She also writes the Coral Cottage, Crown Island, and Sunshine & Second Chances series, along with historical sagas including The Winemakers, The Chocolatier, and Hepburn's Necklace. Jan's heartwarming novels celebrate women's journeys, second chances, sisterhood, and family, set in sunny small beach towns and in Italy, Paris, and Napa Valley. Her novels are clean reads with closed-door romance and no profanity. She lives near the coast in San Diego, California.

From Jan: Hi there, and welcome! If you love feel-good stories that whisk you away to the beach or across the world to la dolce vita, come on in and pull up a beach chair.

WHERE TO START

Love beach reads like Mary Kay Andrews, Elin Hilderbrand, Mary Alice Monroe, and Brenda Novak? Start with Seabreeze Inn, Book 1 of the Summer Beach series, now optioned for TV. Ivy's story has grown into a beloved, binge-worthy series because readers kept asking for more. Then visit Coral Cottage and Crown Island for more sunshine, family, and fresh starts.

Love historical escapes like Danielle Steel, Beatriz Williams, Lauren Willig, and Fiona Davis? Try The Winemakers (1950s Napa Valley and Tuscany), The Chocolatier (the shores of Amalfi, Italy), or Hepburn's Necklace, a dual-timeline novel set at Lake Como against the filming of Audrey Hepburn's Roman Holiday.

Love travel and friendship stories? The Sunshine & Second Chances series follows six best friends, and each book is a mini vacation: Paris in Flawless, Spain in Beauty Mark, Malibu and Ireland in Runway, and three more fun destinations.

[LOVEROFBOOKS · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was an enjoyable read, even though it is a bit dated, and I would have loved photos of the perfume bottles of each one. Overall it suffers from age and lack of photos. It's still fun though to have the computer by your side to look up the ones that interest you and see if you can get them online.
