Summary

All work and no love can make for a dull life. But cupid's arrow has a habit of striking when you least expect it...

A heartwarming, feel-good romance to curl up with. Perfect for the fans of Marian Keyes and Veronica Henry.

Mallory Westerman is the successful proprietor of Le Petit Cadeau, a gift shop extraordinaire in thriving Leeds.

Concentrating solely on her business, she has almost given up on finding someone to love. That is until she literally falls into the arms of a handsome, intriguing stranger who becomes her Knight in shining armour.

The whirlwind romance that ensues changes her life-path irrevocably. However, the road to true love is never smooth and things don't always turn out how you expect...

Lisa's debut novel was shortlisted in the 2014 RNA. Her stories centre around believable, yet down to earth characters and the places in Scotland she has visited and fallen in love with.

Critic reviews

"A Seaside Escape" is a funny, poignant and beautiful story of love and loss, just like life. Mallory's story is life affirming and bursting with emotion that will have you reaching for the tissues. A very well told story perfect for reading on cold autumn nights by the fire.
-- Adele O'Neill, Author

This is a story to fall in love with, a triumph of love over loss, hope over heartache and ultimately a tale that will lift your spirits and leave you smiling at the end! Well done Ms Hobman, a great debut!
-- Faith Hogan, Author

Great story but narrator mmmmm

Sadly the narrator made me sleepy but the story was great. Which is a handy thing at bed time I suppose 😂

I loved this!

I do like this author a lot and loved the book, I read it then I bought it on audio too because Colleen Prendergast is one of my favourite go to narrators. I don't think twice to one clicking an audio book when I see that it's Colleen narrating.
The story did bring a few tears to my eyes, it was quite emotional in parts both sad and happy tears though. I thoroughly enjoyed Malory's journey from start to finish.

Lack of detail…

Not much happens and the main characters are rather pathetic, they are always crying or absolutely desperate for each other; like looking through an opaque window, very little detail. I ran out of sympathy and interest in all of them fairly fast.
Not for me, but some readers may enjoy it - I thought the narrator did OK - considering…
