The Caliendo Resort series is one of Shannyn Leah’s earlier works, set at a family-owned luxury resort in Willow Valley. The first book, Sunset Thunder, centers on Violet Caliendo, a wedding coordinator who no longer believes in love, and follows her into a complicated entanglement when she has to plan her ex-husband’s wedding. The series continues through the remaining Caliendo siblings, each getting their own love story against the resort backdrop.

The books have a beachy, sun-drenched feel and move at a fast pace. Leah uses the resort setting to put characters in close proximity and keeps the tension high with family dynamics and past history. The Willow Valley setting also connects this series to her Bad Boys of Willow Valley books, making it a natural next read for fans of that world.
