Annie is the typical single mom; extremely hard working and self-sacrificing. Her one and only priority is a good life for her son. This is put in jeopardy when Annie is told she is to be laid off or transferred....to the other side of the country....to New Jersey. Annie knows no one and nothing in Jersey, but feels she has to take this job in order to be able to provide for her son.John needs a change, needs to get away from the daily reminders of his late wife. When he sees the perfect opportunity in buying a bookstore in California, he takes it. He is solely focused on getting his little bookstore back in the black. No time for anything else, that is until he sees Annie in the bookstore.I really enjoyed this book. While it was a tad predictable, it was also a very easy, enjoyable read. You don't have to be a "single" mom to relate to Annie. Other than the cover, my only reservation with California Sunset is how introspective John is. Perhaps it is a GOOD quality for a man to have, I just don't find it very realistic. I did like his character, other than all the introspection; he knew exactly what he wanted, and went for it.My FULL REVIEW at: solefulreader. com
