Ladera by the Sea is a four-book series by Marie Ferrarella, published between 2013 and 2015. Set in a small coastal town in Southern California, the series trades the Texas ranches of many Ferrarella books for ocean breezes and a family-run inn. The first book, Innkeeper’s Daughter, introduces the setting and the characters who will appear throughout the series, and each subsequent book brings a new romance to the same seaside community.
The series has a warm, small-town feel that readers of contemporary romance will recognize and enjoy. With only four books, it is a quick read compared to some of Ferrarella’s longer series, but the coastal setting and interconnected cast of characters make it memorable. Safe Harbor and Saving Home round out the later entries with stories about finding love and protecting the place you call home.
