Today is publication day for this brilliant, heartwarming and sunshine filled new release from Heidi Swain. Read on for my review of this wonderful book.
Book Description
Tess Tyler needs a break. Weighed down by her high-pressure job and her demanding father, she’s left little time to take care of herself. But after a shocking discovery sends her spiralling, she flees to Wynmouth, the seaside town she fell in love with as a child, to escape it all.
With its sandy beaches, stunning rock pools and welcoming community, Tess feels like she can finally breathe again. And as she grows ever closer to local barman Sam, she dares to dream that she might never return to her real life. But when a familiar face returns to town, Tess realises that there are secrets in Wynmouth too, and that her own past may be about to catch up with her . . .
The Secret Seaside Escape is the perfect read this summer, promising sandy beaches, stunning rockpools and breath-taking romance. Perfect for fans of Carole Matthews and Sarah Morgan.
My Review
I was so excited to see this book come up for request on Netgalley, I was even more excited to find out I had been approved, and I could not wait to get straight into reading it.
Tess Tyler works hard at her job. She does enjoy her job a lot but lately the pressure is beginning to pull her down and she is desperate for a break and to get away from it all for a while.
Tess finds a cottage available to rent in the pretty seaside town of Wynmouth. It is a place that Tess visited as a child and has many happy memories for her. She tells no one of her plans as she wants to get away from it all especially after the secret she revealed.
Tess begins to feel herself relaxing the minute the sea air surrounds her. It does not take Tess long to visit all of the places she remembers. She is soon getting to know the residents including the handsome barman Sam and the lovely Sophie that cooks some amazing and delicious sounding Caribbean food.
The longer that Tess spends in Wynmouth the more she does not go back to her normal life, she is enjoying becoming part of the small community and helping at all of the events they are putting on, but when a surprise visitor comes to the town with more secrets to reveal Tess realises that maybe you can't run away from your life after all.
This is such a wonderful read that you will love from beginning to end. I love the writing style of Heidi Swain, she has a way of really drawing you into the story and making you feel as if you are part of the story too. The character of Tess is great to get to know. You get a good sense of ow stressful her life is, you can almost feel her relax as the story unfolds.
There is a great cast of supporting characters within the book which provide a great support to Tess and she does build a strong bond with Hope.
The cover of this book is beautiful and really gives you a hint at the sunshine filled pages within the book.
If you are looking for a story full of friendship,
romance and the seaside then you are really in for a treat with this new release.
Thank you to Netgalley and Simon and Schuster UK for my advanced copy of this book.
