Review of “Crown City by the Sea”

Amazon reviewer: “This is a fun read. When I purchased the book at a gift shop on Coronado Island I hoped it would fill me in on the history of that beautiful Island. I wanted to know more about the fabulous legendary Hotel Del Coronado. Ms. Franks did a wonderful job crafting the story around the lives of those involved in the building of the one hundred and thirty-year-old Edwardian Hotel. The hotel’s magic was reflected in this charming romance. Old and young alike will enjoy wrapping themselves up in a blanket, sipping their coffee, tea, or hot chocolate and living alongside this captivating story.
