JoAnn
Ross introduces readers to the small town of Honeymoon Harbor and the residents
that make up this lovely town. When Brianna Mannion decides to quit her
high-profile job as a concierge in Las Vegas, she falls in love with this big
old Victorian house that she loved as a child in her hometown of Honeymoon
Harbor. But when she returns home, she finds her childhood friend Seth Harper
grieving for the loss of his wife (and Brianna’s best friend) and she is
determined to make her dream a reality, even if it means working closely with
the one man she had a crush on as a kid and teenager.
Seth
Harper is enjoying running his family construction business but after the loss
of his wife, Seth has just put one foot in front of the other and tried to just
live each day even as he missed her terribly. But now that Brianna is back in
town, Seth finds himself seeing her in a new light, one that has his frozen
heart and emotions ready to thaw. But what happens when the sparks that fly
between these two cause a flame to burn out of control and Seth will have to
take the leap to the future that includes Brianna and a life filled with love
once again?
JoAnn
Ross delivers her introduction to her new series, Honeymoon Harbor, with a
delightful tale of childhood friends, loss and more in HERONS LANDING. I got to admit, I was hesitant in trying this out
but after reading just one chapter I couldn’t put it down. I love the history
between Brianna and Seth as well as how the author weaves the past of the town
into the storyline. I don’t want to give too much away so please note if you
haven’t read one of this author’s books, then this is a perfect introduction
story to get your feet wet. The story starts off slow as the author sets up
Honeymoon Harbor and the main players in the HERONS LANDING. Just make sure to keep reading as it does pick up
the pace after a few chapters in. I
loved how this author incorporates the past of how the town became in with the
present. The characters, though, are where this author just shines. I love how
diverse the population of Honeymoon Harbor is and we got a glimpse into
characters that may pop in future books as well. The characters are what makes
this story so enjoyable and entertaining in my opinion. You got the colorful
characters such as these two 90-year-old twins who run a dress shop and then
you got the ones who follow the rules and don’t take risks. Each resident we
are introduced to in this first book makes the story more real to me. It could
be any small town in any part of the world. This is an author who shines in
creating entertaining yet diverse characters that readers can fall in love
with.
HERONS LANDING is a delightful
entertaining read that will lead the reader on an adventure as two friends find
they have more in common than they thought and as hearts reach out to one
another, it takes a measure of risk to let yourself fall in love again after
the death of a loved one. If you are looking for a feel-good story that will charm
you, then try Honeymoon Harbor and settle in for the perfect beach read this
summer. I can’t wait to read book two, Snowfall on Lighthouse Lane and return
to this charming seaside town.
