Sunshine Avenue - Book Review

Sunshine Avenue by Jan Moran

The second book in the Crown Island Series

Junie Raines is ready to move on with her life after losing her husband two years ago. She is living on Crown Island with her grandmother, mother and sister and running the gift shop at the Majestic Hotel after closing her on line business she owned with her husband. It is time to find her own place to live and take the next step in her career. She may even go on a date or two when things settle down. When she places a bid on a dilapidated house across the street from her best friend, things look like they are coming together. When she finds out that the Majestic’s newest employee Knox MacKenzie has also bid on the house, the race is on. Can Junie outbid the handsome, frustrating Knox to get her life back on track or will she be back at square one?

This second novel in the Crown Island series by Jan Moran is everything you could hope for in a small-town series. We have Junie who is trying to start a new chapter in her life, a handsome new man Knox with an adorable six-year-old daughter, a run-down house with an overgrown garden, and family and friends willing to help them both. The characters are so well written, you fall in love with Junie from the very first page. We met Junie in the first novel, Beach View Lane where we were introduced to the Raines family and read April’s story, so I was excited to read this next book in the series. This novel also touches on Maileah’s story, Junie’s sister and I will be anxiously awaiting her journey in Orange Blossom Way, the next novel in the series. My sincere thanks to the author Jan Moran for an advanced copy of the book which I voluntarily read and reviewed. If you like, small beach town series with fascinating characters, this is one you do not want to miss.
