Reader Reviews
“A new Jan Moran book is a true gem…strong, intelligent women heading up their own businesses. These ladies are always there for each other through love, break ups, business successes, and business upheaval. And whenever girlfriends get together, there is always laughter and lots of love.” – B.J.T.
“I enjoyed all three of these stories. All of these women have obstacles in the story for them to overcome and they find love along the way. It is also refreshing to read stories where the love scenes fade out.” – Irene S.

After meeting Dahlia, Penelope, and Elena in the first box set Love California Box Set: Books 1-3 that I binge read I was soo excited they got their own books to!
ESSENCE:
I was so torn for Dahlia as she was just getting her own brand off the ground and then tragedy strikes not one but twice although thankfully one was for the greater good! But now she has to face Alain and deal with him as well as try and work out whats happening to Camilla’s business. Sass, steamy, funny, suspicious and a happy ever after.
STYLE:
There was plenty of action in this one and there really was a chance that Penelope would make it to the end of the book which added another layer to this one. So someone is out to kill her, her career looks like it is completely over and she also has to work out her distrust and feelings for Stefan. There was loads going on both good and bad that had me nibbling the inside of my mouth as I watched everything unfold.
SPARKLE:
We got to travel to Aussie as we saw Elena’s story unravel and you could feel her emotions as she went through them as she has always been fairly quiet out of the whole group. Your heart aches for her as her future seems to be ripped from her and the first guy in a long time to make her heart flutter may not be able to be trusted no matter how awesome his Mother is. I felt like smacking Jake on many an occasion due to his inability to be articulate and forever fumbling on his words cause for a smart guy good lord he has no idea how to act around women, thankfully he has his Mum bless her to help sort out his life! lol

All of these stories contain tense relationships between the heroes and heroines. There is a bit of mystery as well. I enjoyed the plots and visiting with familiar characters in the second and third installments.

Loved this box set…
“Love California Series Box Set 4-6” is part of the “A Beach Reads Series” and is the second set of the “Love California Collection”. This box set includes Essence, Style, and Sparkle. All three stories have strong, independent women who are friends and appear in each book. The characters are well developed and relatable. Each storyline is original, fresh, and has drama, some danger, and a clean sweet romance.
I am looking forward to reading more books by this author.
