So what's new? Look for the new SEABREEZE GALA, which earned a spot (thanks to readers!) on the USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestseller lists, so we've been celebrating. Besides my women's fiction beach series (Summer Beach, Coral Cottage, and Crown Island series), I also write 20th-century historical sagas with a touch of romance. THE WINEMAKERS is my latest re-launch, and HEPBURN'S NECKLACE, set against the Audrey Hepburn film, ROMAN HOLIDAY, is my latest dual timeline historical.

If you enjoy Mary Kay Andrews, Elin Hilderbrand, Brenda Novak, and Mary Alice Monroe's beach reads, then you'll want to start with SEABREEZE INN. If you like to escape to another time with Danielle Steel, Beatriz Williams, Lauren Willig, or Fiona Davis, then check out THE CHOCOLATIER, a sweet read set on the shores of Amalfi, Italy, HEPBURN'S NECKLACE iN Lake Como, Italy, or THE WINEMAKERS, which will whisk you to 1950s Napa Valley and Tuscany.

If you're an audiobook aficionado, you're in luck! Most of my books are available in audio on my store: https://store.janmoran.com/collection..., and on Audible, Apple, and Amazon, read by the super-talented Erin Bennett (Elin Hilderbrand, Debbie Macomber, etc), an award-winning narrator.

My SUNSHINE & SECOND CHANCES series (aka LOVE CALIFORNIA) is also a lot of fun. It's a linked series of six best friends that I based on some of my favorite travel destinations. Each book is a mini-vacay, starting with Paris in FLAWLESS, Spain in BEAUTY MARK, Malibu and Ireland in RUNWAY, and three more fun locales. These are also widely available on audio Audible, Apple, and Amazon, as well as Kobo, and Barnes & Noble.

"A woman with a plan is a force."

Jo Dufour, owner of CuppaJo Diner on Summer Street on Crown Island loves her life, loves her work and loves Blue Blumenthal, one of the cops on the Island. But does he love her?

Setting that aside she embarks on a crowdfunding campaign and enlists her friends old and new in watching it develop. Will it get her where she needs to be? And will she be wholly there to accept the outcome.

Jan Moran has done it again. I didn't expect to open the story and not move until it was done but that's exactly what happened. I admit it usually does when I get caught up in these books. Join me won't you? Highly Recommended 5/5

At 7:30 this morning I downloaded an ARC copy of this book. At 3:00 this afternoon I finished reading it. I have read all of Ms. Morgan’s 3 series and this is one of the best. The pacing of the story as well as the character development made it a joy to read. I don’t want to post any spoilers but there are special moments throughout. A perfect summer read.
