Home is where the heart is…
Holly doesn’t have time for a holiday this year. But when her
job threatens to send her over the brink, her boss insists she take a
sabbatical. So she packs her bags and escapes to her beloved grandmother Gigi’s
house on Wishington Bay, which has sat empty since Gigi passed away.
But Holly’s dreams of a coastal escape take an unexpected turn. Holly didn’t expect to spend time with any man this summer – let alone an Aussie Adonis…but when she meets her next door neighbour Gabe and his little dog Bryan, it’s clear her quiet summer of strolling along the sand and wandering through the seaside village’s tiny streets on her own will come with a hefty dose of distraction.
With a summer to fill and Gigi’s wonderful and surprising house to sort through, Holly knew it would be a summer packed with old memories. She just didn’t expect to make so many new ones…
Coming Home to Wishington Bay is the new gorgeous uplifting rom-com from Maxine Morrey, perfect for fans of Sarah Morgan and Tilly Tennant!

Review
Coming Home to Wishington Bay is another gem of a book by
Maxine Morrey, I love how she never fails to make me smile when reading any of
her books and this one is no exception. It may be a predictable romance; but I
just loved following Holly on her journey on how to relax and let the romance
flow.
Holly is a self-confessed workaholic who hasn’t taken a
holiday in years. After her latest panic attack sees her sliding down her bosses’
desk into a heap, she’s forced to take the summer off or she’ll have no job.
Reluctantly Holly heads to Wishington Bay to the house she was left by her late
grandmother Gigi. Filled with happy memories from her childhood Holly’s
overcome with sadness that she didn’t spend as much time with Gigi as she could
have. After an unexpected exposé with neighbour Gabe the two strike up
a firm friendship that soon has the makings of becoming the romance Gigi was
hoping for Holly, but will Holly relax enough to let it happen
This was such a joy to read Holly was a great character with
such a great creative streak once she learned to switch off from her job and did
thing that made her happy. I loved the easy banter she has with Gabe almost instantly
and them chemistry between them sizzles away slowly throughout the book.
We never actually meet Gigi in the book but I loved how
through Holly exploring her old belongings and sharing memories with Ned, Carrie
and Gabe that we really got a feel for what a wonderful woman she must have
been with so much love to give out to those she cared about, she reminded me a
lot of my own grandma.
Even though I’m not a dog fan little Bryan was one of the
highlights of this book, every-time he was mentioned curling up with Pete the
Prawn I just got a huge smile on my face imagining how cute he must have looked…..feel
free to run into my house anytime Bryan.
This is a great novel which I highly recommend about letting
go of stress and finding out truly what makes you happy in the most perfect of
settings….Wishington Bay.
Thank you so much to the publishers for sending me a copy to
review and to Rachel’s Random resources for inviting me to be part of the blog
tour.
