Beach House Summer: A beautiful heart-warming summer romance novel from the number one Sunday Times bestselling author!

Such an amazing story about love and friendship. I couldn't put it down and finished it at 4am one morning.

The characters in this story helped Joanna find herself again and showed her what true friends do. The strength they gave her shone through. It was amazing to see how Ashley looked at everything in a very mature way and helped Joanna every step of the way. A good read.

I love it when a book wants you to carry on reading & this is one of those. I've only just started & already a third of the way through. A great start, easy read & can't wait to find out how it pans out.

This was such a good read. Never thought about the other side for famous people and the intrusion and lies caused by others. Loved Joanna and Ashley and the bond they made. Loved it

Sarah Morgan is one of my go-to authors when I'm looking for a heartwarming, feel-good read and she doesn't disappoint with her latest book Beach House Summer which features two women, Joanna and Ashley, who were complete strangers but soon their lives become entwined. Their paths might not have crossed in the most conventional of manners but in their times of need, they are both there to support and encourage one another to take the steps necessary to move on with their lives.From the outset I was asking myself what would I have done in Joanna's shoes and I'd like to think that I'd have been as welcoming, especially once the full details are revealed, but until you are in the same situation I don't think anyone really knows how they'd react. It also took guts for Ashley to take matters into her own hands even if the outcome ended in the most devastating of circumstances and left her feeling even more alone.I loved the whole concept of escaping from the spotlight to a remote beach side house to come to terms with the way your life has been turned upside down. For Joanna it's a chance to re-evaluate her life after putting up with so much from her philandering ex-husband who she still worked with running the business side of things. What's in store for her now? Whereas for Ashley, it's a chance to come to terms with everything and decide what she wants to do next.As for the setting, the Californian beach town of Silver Point sounded like the perfect place to run to for them to recuperate although for Joanna she also had some ghosts to lay to rest and friendships to repair having left the town so suddenly 20 years ago. But with the beach on your doorstep, and a vibrant community welcoming you with open arms, how could you not cast your demons and fears aside and make new plans for the future?Friendships, old and new, are at the heart of this novel and it was great to see both Joanna and Ashley blossom as the story progressed. Both women had suffered greatly in the past and it's only over time that they can heal and move on.I hope that this not the last that we see of Joanna, Ashley and the rest of the community of Silver Point even if it was just a catch-up novella at some point in the future.

Great summer read. Lovely story, very easy to read and very enjoyable love story. Another great read from Sarah Morgan.

What a perfect read, especially after the heatwave when the weather had cooled a touch in the UK and I felt like reading again. This was a delightful novel with a stunning California location, interesting characters and a plot I got happily lost in. This book held my attention from the first page until the last one and I didn’t want to put it down.I was actually a little sad that this book ended and this is very rare. It deserves all of its 5 stars and more for being so delightful, heartwarming and sunny. I liked the character development, the strength of the leading lady character and the second chance romance aspect. I definitely recommend this novel as a great holiday read!

Highly recommended

There isn't any book by Sarah Morgan I haven't liked. They're all pageturners and none of them has a similar plot. This one again is very different from the other books she has written and I liked it a lot. I like it when people feel empowerd by a change in circumstances.

Sarah Morgan creates characters and relationships that are so real. The emotions and personality traits of each character is shown clearly. This book has feel-good romance, feel-good strong women friendships, and lessons in parenting - or rather, in being a normal human being.

Loved this novel. Yeah it’s predictable but it’s still enjoyable. Loved the relationship formed between Ashley and Joanna and the second chance romance between Joanna and Nate. I’m a sucker for the hometown coming home again to rekindle love novels.
