As I read this book I recognized that I had already read this book before so I was disappointed that it was a reissue. I did not recognize the title so was assuming that the book was new.

I Also Recommend:
I had looked forward to this series after reading Ross's High Risk Series. Unfortunately, after the first book I haven't really been drawn into the stories of Shelter Bay. I felt like this one was really lacking in character development and connection. I have the next book and find it hard to stop a series once I've started; so I'll move on hoping for something more compelling.

I have read all of the Shelter bay series and this one does not disappoint.
Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.I was lucky enough to win this book and couldn't wait to read it. After I started it I wish I held back and waited until I read the first two books in the series. Ross did such a good job of bring me into her world that I felt a little lost without reading from book one. Now saying that guess what I'm going to be getting! Sometimes old love can be a new love again and Ross proved that perfectly in Lavender Lane. I enjoyed how she balanced the past with the present. I also enjoyed both Madeline and Lucas and wanted to know their stories. I also liked how she left you wanting more. This is a must read book. The only negative I had about the book was that it left me feeling...hungry.

Why come up with two incredible characters if your going to talk about design project. Its like someone telling you about an interesting fight scene and also desribing the color of the floor and walls. Really? This story needs to told again.

Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.I am a big fan of JoAnn Ross, but for some reason I stop reading this book not even halfway through it. I do not know what it is about this book but I can not get into it. I will finish reading it one day because I brought it and I just can not believe that I will not start to like it.

The plot was great, but all the "green living" refrences were a
little over the top. Almost felt like propoganda piece. I don' t read romance novels to develop social or environmental conciousness. It was like a mom trying to hide pureed spinach in brownies so her child eats veggies.

JoAnn Ross is one of my favorite authors. Her Shelter Bay Series is wonderful storytelling. I wouldn't miss her books for anything.
Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.On Lavender Lane by JoAnn Ross delivers a wonderful and compelling story about giving love a second chance.
Celebrity TV chef Madeline Durand perfect world was turned upside down when her husband’s sex video it the internet. She jumps at the chance to return to Shelter Bay to help her beloved grandmother start a new business on the family farm. Maddie doesn’t know it but the man who broke her heart many years ago has returned to Shelter bay.
Former Navy Seal Lucas Chaffee at a loss on the direction his life is now going to go. He had planned on working on restoring old homes with his father but his father’s sudden passing has him struggling to find a new path for himself. Lucas is thrilled that Maddy has come back home and vows to not let this second chance with her slip through his fingers. He knows he has a hard sell to ever get her to forgive him for what he did many years ago. But a Seal never gives up and Lucas has lots of town folks on his team.
Maddy and Lucas begin the process of getting to know each other as adults. They both realize the connection they had as teens is still there but more powerful. Will Maddy be able to forgive Lucas his youthful mistake and take a chance on a love of a lifetime?
Each book in this Shelter Bay series is a keeper. Lucas and Maddy’s story is no exception. Their chemistry reach and powerful and their meetings just snap and sizzle. Love getting a chance with each book to reconnect with old friends from previous books. You will enjoy On Lavender Lane, it’s a top notch romantic story.
