Beach View Lane - Book Review

Beach View Lane by Jan Moran

April Raines is at a crossroad. Her marriage is over, she can not face returning to her job or her home, so she is back on Crown Island staying with her mother while she sorts out her life. She loves the island and she loves having her family close by. She also enjoys getting to know her biological mother’s family that she has just met. As she is trying to decide what her next steps are in life, she knows one thing, she loves history and would love to start a historical society on the island. When she finds herself working along side the new owner of the local hotel and historical landmark on the island, she may have just found the start of a new chapter in her life. Can April put her past behind her and learn to trust another man again?

Ryan Kingston likes his private life as an investor and would prefer to stay in the shadows while he is back on Crown Island. His dream is to renovate the grand Majestic Hotel and bring her back to her former glory. Can he work with April to keep the history of the hotel alive while guarding his own personal history with the hotel?

What a fabulous start to the new Crown Island series by JanMoran. We first met April and her family briefly in Seabreeze Reunion, which was book eight in the Summer Beach Series. I was excited to read April story and get to know her daughters and mother a little better in this book. I loved that April is a mature woman with grown daughters who is facing a new chapter in life. The characters are very well written and I easily was captured by their stories. I am already patiently waiting for the next book in the series. Thank you so much Jan Moran for my advanced readers copy which I voluntarily read and reviewed. A great new read from one of my favourite authors.
