PRAISE FOR THE WORK
OF JOANN ROSS

Sea Glass Winter

“Beautifully descriptive and gently paced, this heart-warmer captures coastal small-town flavor perfectly and nails the high school vibe. A perfect read for a long winter’s night.”


Library Journal

“A fast-paced novel about romantic relationships, parent-child relationships, and teacher-student relationships. The narrative voice has a humor and rhythm that is fun to read, the teenagers walk the walk and talk the talk of real teenagers, and the conversations among the adults are witty, kind, and meaningful.”


Kirkus Reviews


Sea Glass Winter
will wrap you in warmth and good feeling. I’ve read many who say this series will make you want to move to Shelter Bay. I can only say ‘ditto.’”

—Romance Reviews Today

“Fans will enjoy this lovely visit to Shelter Bay. . . . It’s heartwarming to watch old friends settle happily into life . . . like a hot cup of tea on a cold afternoon.”


RT Book Reviews

Moonshell Beach

“A lovely addition to the Shelter Bay series. Ross builds a charming town filled with good, solid people—the best place for warriors to come and rebuild their civilian selves. The women are strong, too, making Shelter Bay a place that readers will really want to visit.”


RT Book Reviews

“Shelter Bay is the kind of town I’d love to live in myself. . . . I can’t wait for the next book in this series.”

—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

“An uplifting novel, it’s especially appealing if you have fond memories of the healing properties of good food and conversation in the cozy comfort of your grandmother’s kitchen. Bon appétit!”

—Romance Junkies

One Summer


One Summer
has romance, a light splash of intrigue, two wonderful protagonists, endearing supporting characters, and an enchanting, fast-paced rhythm, making it the perfect summer read.”

—Joyfully Reviewed

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

“Ross continues her homage to the brave men and women in the armed services in a romantic and sexy thriller spotlighting the difficulties that members of the military face when they return to civilian life.”


Booklist

“It isn’t often readers find characters they’re willing to spend a weekend with. However, that’s exactly what Ross accomplishes in
The Homecoming,
enveloping the reader in the lives of two endearing, albeit flawed, characters.”


RT Book Reviews

Breakpoint

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


Midwest Book Review

Crossfire

“The plot is riveting, the characters sizzle, and the ending will blow you away. Trust me, you do not want to miss
Crossfire
. But keep in mind, once you pick it up, it’s impossible to put down.”

—Fresh Fiction

“[A] can’t-put-down-forget-the-housework-cereal-for-dinner book. The chemistry between Quinn and Cait screams off the page and practically singes your fingers.”
