Snowfall on Lighthouse Lane

In JoAnn Ross's Snowfall on Lighthouse Lane, the 2nd installment in the Honeymoon Harbor contemporary romance, 'tis the season to be jolly and home for the holidays. For Jolene Wells, she had lived on the wrong sided of the tracks and had fallen for Aidan Mannion, one of the sons of the richest families in Honeymoon Harbor, a small town outside of Seattle. He was her high school sweetheart who broke her heart and went to the Marines. Years later, he's the new chief of police and been mourning the loss of his partner from the LAPD who made an angelic appearance to help him out. As the new chief in town, he dealt with police corruption and a disturbing domestic violence case in the neighborhood. But he never thought he would see a blast from his past. For Jolene, she was the only child of a single mother who had her when she was young; her father had an abusive and criminal past that ended up dead. She worked her way as a hair dresser and was once Emmy nominated too, and suffered a broken heart as well. But when she learned about her mother's cancer scare, she flew back home to be there for her mother and then reunites with Aidan in her former hometown. From there, they rebuild their relationship and find out they were made from each other with a surprise ending during the holidays.

This was a wonderful and heart-warming Christmas contemporary romance. I do love the small close-knit community of Honeymoon Harbor and had every location had its own historic value to the town. I do love the North West location as it's by the water and how close and homey it makes you feel at home. I did care for Jolene and how she made a name for herself and how she looked after her mother and how close they were to each other. I loved how Aidan had mellowed out and softened as a former bad guy who now loves to protect and serve his community and how his family is supportive of each other. They would make you feel nostalgic about your own former crushes and loves with sweet romance, plenty of action, a dash of drama, and lots of suspense on every page.

Will you join the celebration in Snowfall on Lighthouse Lane?

The Homecoming

In JoAnn Ross's The Homecoming, the first installment in the Shelter Bay romantic suspense series, this novel would move you to tears and tug your heart. For Sax Douchett, this Cajun former Navy SEAL came home from the war with the ghosts of his past. He didn't plan on going to his homecoming parade, when he met his former flame and brother's best friend's widow, Kara Conway, a widow with a son, and the sheriff of her small town. When he uncovered a skull on the beach with his dog Velcro, that's what started it all for them to uncover the truth and rekindle old feelings. For Kara, she still mourned the loss of her husband and lived with her mother, who decided to find love with her senior deputies. Between Sax and Kara, it started as friends and blossomed into something else entirely between them, when they solved two cold cases together with a connection between them all with a sweet ending.

This was a lovely and tender romantic suspense novel. I really cared about Kara and Trey, Faith, and Sax. I loved the cold case connection to the novel to bring closure in the end. Shelter Bay sounded so idealistic and heavenly to be by the coastline for a small town as the perfect setting and location. This would make you heart swell with pride and swoon for a guy like Sax to have as your own. Great drama, excellent suspense and intrigue with non-stop action, mystery and plenty of romance all around.

Free Fall

In JoAnn Ross's FreeFall, the first installment in the High Risk romantic suspense series,  you'll be enticed and enthralled with the passion and the danger in this novel. We were introduced to former Navy SEAL Zachariah Tremayne and Sabrina Swann. They have both landed on Swann Island, a fictional island over in South Carolina, when nothing was where they seemed. Family secrets come back to haunt them, when there was a serial killer on the island, and someone who came gunning after Zachariah, too. And what brought them back to the island haunted them in a freefall like motion. We saw how troubled Zach was from his days overseas, and how he felt for Sabrina, and vice versa, when she survived a bombing in Italy. But the chemistry was red hot and smoldering like a wildfire.

This was another heart-pounding and explosive romantic suspense. I came to care about Zach and Sabrina, when they've escaped dangers overseas. I liked the Swann Island location off in South Carolina, since it sounded idealistic for the perfect small town location with hidden dangers. This would make you heart pound and swell with every turning page, until you can't stop reading until the ending. Great drama, excellent suspense, romance, intrigue with mystery, and lots of dangerous traps along the way.
