Synopsis
Months after stealing two time machines from a madman who wants them back, the Lanes, a family of seven, seek peace and safety in 1927, the latest stop on a journey through time. For a while, each succeeds.
Parents Mark and Mary find housing in affluent East Hampton, New York, where a gracious elderly couple offers use of their mansion. Son Jordan and his new wife, Jessie, plan a family. Siblings Laura, Jeremy, and Ashley pursue fun and adventure. All form strong friendships with the Prices, a mysterious mirror-image family that lives next door.
Billionaire Robert Devereaux could not care less. Reeling from the theft of his million-dollar devices, he sends a hit man to the past to retrieve his property and rid the world of his former business partner and his troublesome clan.
Randy Taylor, who programs the machines, is determined to stop him. He tries to undermine his boss and save the Lanes, even as he tries to help his mother beat a deadly illness. He pines for the day he can join his fugitive friends and rekindle a promising relationship with Laura Lane.
Filled with romance, humor, and heartbreak, SEA SPRAY follows a modern family on the adventure of a lifetime as they navigate their way through the exciting and often dangerous world of Lindbergh, Gershwin, and Fitzgerald.

Review
If you enjoy time travel novels, this is a series you will want to pick up. The books follow the Lane family who jumps back in time to escape a crazy business owner that has other ideas for these time boxes that may not be altruistic. The Lane family has become fugitives to this man and has narrowly escaped an assassin that has jumped back in time. Luckily they have inside help!
This book focuses on their jump to the roaring ’20s. This is a time that they feel comfortable until they are discovered. But their adventures along the way make for some great memories. Who wouldn’t be interested in going into the past with the knowledge we have today? While I wouldn’t personally want to change my past, there are a few things that I wouldn’t mind doing a little differently. But to meet some famous people from the past, visit a speakeasy, and so much more.
Each of the characters endures some trials and tribulations in this book. From forming new friendships to finding new love.
I always find myself engrossed in this series and can’t wait for the next book that finds them in Hawaii in 1941 right before the bombing of Pearl Harbor.
We give this book 5 paws up and highly recommend this time travel series.
