About this ebook

A Top 100 Bestseller!

“As with the other books in the Davenport series, you'll be captivated! Strong family ties, deeply felt emotions, stellar characters and sizzling romance all combine for an absolutely special reading experience.” 5 stars

Erin Davenport always imagined she’d end up with a quiet man. Someone like her.

Then she met Jay Malone.

He’s the loudest, pushiest man she’s ever met. A top Hollywood agent, Jay’s bought a waterfront house in Carmel-by-the-Sea, and everywhere Erin turns, he seems to be there, Big, gorgeous and pulsing with life. He seems to go through women like candy, but Erin has no intention of being his latest treat.

Jay can sell anything to anyone. He turned a hot young surfer into an A list movie star, so why is it so hard to sell himself to Archer Davenport’s sister? Erin isn’t like anyone he’s ever known. Jay’s been in Hollywood so long, he’s accustomed to being surrounded by beautiful, talented women. But Erin attracts him in a way no other woman ever has. She’s gorgeous and rarely bothers with makeup or fancy clothes. She’s a brilliant writer, but happy to work for the local newspaper, The Sea Shell. 

He knows she’s the woman he’s been looking for all his life. But can he convince the emotionally risk-averse writer to take a chance on their love story?

Ratings and reviews

California Sunsets is book 3 in the Davenports series by Bella Andre and Nicky Arden. 4.5 stars Jay and Erin have known each other for years as Jay is her brother Archer’s best friend and agent. When Erin is tasked by her editor to get the scoop on the newest resident, she realizes there is more to Jay than she thought…and vice versa for Jay…attraction, family, laughter, opposites and a slow build to a HEA… I voluntarily read an advanced reader copy (ARC) of this book from the author. All t

Loved Erin and Jay’s Friends to lover’s story. Enjoyed the telling of the story in the story through the love letters and screen plays. As always, the girls coffee shop catchups and Davenport family Breakfasts are my favourite scenes and we get 2 each of these. Loved the humour that is typical of Bella Andre books. The overprotective Davenport brothers and a funny scene about sheep made me LOL.

Loved this 3rd book in the Davenport series. Brash and loud Jay, has known quiet and introspective Erin for ages. Now that Jay has decided to purchase a home in Carmel, they are thrown together more often. Add in an interview by local newspaper reporter Erin and a doe eyed puppy, and things get interesting very quickly!
