PRAISE FOR THE SHELTER BAY NOVELS

Moonshell Beach

“Ms. Ross writes a story that wraps around your heart and ensnares you. . . . She is a master storyteller.”

—Fresh Fiction

“Ross gradually builds up the sexual tension between her characters with convincing tact in a comfortingly idyllic milieu where nearly everyone else is in love. . . . [She] satisfyingly fleshes out their mating dance with secondary characters familiar from her earlier books and tantalizing glimpses of stories to be told in future installments.”


Publishers Weekly

“This is a lovely addition to the Shelter Bay series. Ross builds a charming town filled with good, solid people . . . making Shelter Bay a place that readers will really want to visit.”


RT Book Reviews

“I immediately dug into
Moonshell Beach
and read it cover to cover in two days. I just couldn’t put it down. . . . Shelter Bay is the kind of town I’d love to live in myself.”

—Love Romances & More

On Lavender Lane

“Cooking, romance, and a warm, inviting setting work their delectable magic in this tender charmer that introduces new characters (and some serious issues) and reprises previous series players.”


Library Journal

“[A] tear-jerking tale of a commitment-shy professional cook learning to love a former Navy SEAL in idyllic rural Oregon . . . [a] savory romance.”


Publishers Weekly

“The Shelter Bay novels have been lauded, and this one is a worthy entry in the series. The characters, especially the recurring ones, are so likable that the reader can’t help getting caught up in the story . . . engrossing with just enough humor to keep the readers on their toes. I await each new story with anticipation.”

—Fresh Fiction

“Shelter Bay is a town that envelops readers in warmth. This latest entry in the series features a lovely romance that rolls in with the inevitability of the tide. Warning: It is also a foodie book that will leave you hungry—and hungry for the next book, too!”


Romantic Times

One Summer

“Ms. Ross knows how to tell a story that pulls her readers in and takes them on an emotional journey as they turn the pages. If you’re looking for a fulfilling story that you can’t help but fall in love with, then this along with her other novel in the series,
The Homecoming
, are two books you shouldn’t pass up!”

—Night Owl Reviews

The Homecoming

“Quintessential Ross, with a terrific romance [and] mystery. Not to be missed.”

—The Romance Readers Connection

“Ross has again hit a homer . . . an outstanding job.”

—Fallen Angel Reviews

“One of the best books I’ve read this summer. . . . Ms. Ross penned such emotion into her story line and created characters that you easily fall in love with.”

—Night Owl Reviews

“An action-packed thriller that never decelerates until the finish . . . one of the better high-octane sagas on the market today.”

Crossfire
. But keep in mind once you pick it up, it’s impossible to put down.”
