New York Times bestselling author JoAnn Ross invites you to discover Honeymoon Harbor with the captivating prequel to her brand-new romance series!

The rivalry between the Mannion and Harper families has divided them for over a century. Which is why, when John Mannion and Sara Harper fall in love, they become the small seaport town’s very own Romeo and Juliet. But in Honeymoon Harbor, nothing—not even an infamous family feud—is a match for love.

Review:

I loved Home to Honeymoon Harbor by JoAnn Ross! I read it in a short time before I went to bed last night because I  planned to start the first full-length novel (Heron’s Landing) today. This is the story of Sarah Harper and John Mannion, set in 1985.

This is a small-town second-chance romance set in Honeymoon Harbor, which is a seaport town somewhere in the Pacific Northwest of the US. John and Sarah had a past relationship that ended two years ago and since then they haven’t been in touch at all. Now back in Honeymoon Harbor for the first time since they broke up, John plans to let Sarah know exactly how he feels about her, hoping for a very positive outcome.

The story was super-enjoyable to me. I loved John’s plan to get Sarah back. There are big nods to Leo Tolstoy and Jane Austen in here – I wasn’t expecting that and I love that these characters love to read the classics! At under 100 pages, this is an easy read and makes me excited to be continuing the series today.
