The Secret Seaside Escape is another brilliantly written book by Heidi Swain. This time, set in Wynmouth, we follow Tess who works for the family company, Tyler PR and is on the verge of burn out. Still grieving for her mother, she decides to get away and goe to the one place that she always felt relaxed and happy – her childhood holiday location of Wynmouth.

Wynmouth is the perfect location for her to recharge her batteries (I could also feel my own being recharged!) and it isn’t too long before she feels herself relaxing and becoming fully immersed in the close knit community.

The heart of this book is the community though and this wonderful little seaside village, and we slowly learn about the inhabitants and their quirky little secrets.

I really hope we learn more about Wynmouth and its residents as there are definitely more stories to be told....

Another winner from Heidi Swain!

What an amazing book! This book keeps you guessing right to the end. Makes you think and with a plot twist I didn't see coming! Definitely a good holiday read!

I enjoyed this book, it was a mostly relaxing read. A summer romance with a little bit of mystery. I liked the fact that the characters did not immediately jump into bed together, even though they were attracted to one another. The characters in general seemed realistic and the character development was good.

The only thing I found irritating, was the way everyone continually jumped to conclusions and didn’t bother to actually communicate with one another about important topics.

If you are looking for a summery romance with a little more depth to it, and some mysteries to uncover, then this is the book for you.

I was given a free copy of this book. My opinions are my own.

Absolutely loved this book. I couldn’t put it down and if real life hadn’t gotten in the way I would have read it in a day. The perfect book to curl up with on a rainy day, it made me yearn for summer and a beach holiday. Another fantastic story and location, let’s hope there’s more stories for this lovely place.

Thanks to Simon and Schuster and netgalley for a Arc.
Having read all of Heidi's books over the years I was delighted to read this new one.
I loved the slightly new style of writing and being by the beach made reading this FANTASTIC book even more so.
Following the lives of Tess Sam Joe and Hope anything is possible in the seaside town of Weymouth a fabulously warm intriguing plot that keeps your senses heightened till the very end.
As always a truly inspirational read.

Oh my WORD!!! This was absolutely worth the wait 💕💕 Heidi Swain has only gone and done it again!!!!!⠀

I was approved today by NetGalley to read and review this and I’ve just finished it!!

This book was absolutely magnificent and I was so excited to receive it today! I could not put it down, and fell in love with the residents of Wynmouth straight away.⠀

Tess is a wonderful character and I instantly warmed to her. The friendships she makes on returning to Wynmouth are lovely and I adored Hope......what a wonderfully bubbly and vivacious lady she is.⠀

I didn’t at all anticipate some of the revelations as they unravelled, which kept me whizzing through the book and wanting to find out more!!⠀

Heidi, thank you for another gorgeous book, as always I loved it, and The Secret Seaside Escape has left my heart full of warmth and happiness!!⠀

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from me......and all the stars 🌟 ⠀
