Thank you @rararesources and @MaggieChriste33 for letting me be of this tour and reviewing this book.
Escape to Bellbird Bay is the sixth book in the series and is a contemporary genre.I enjoyed reading this book and I enjoyed the characters: Alison wo has been asked to go on early retirement and goes to visit her brother Adam at Bellbird Bay. Then there is Neil whose life not doing so well goes back to Bellbird Bay to visit his Dad with his Daughter Bronte. The story is heartwarming and I love the romance between Alison and Neil. I love Bellbird Bay and would love to visit it myself. The story is written well and you get lost in the story straight away which is good. This is the first book I have read in the series but you can read it as a standalone. I will be reading the others in the series. Lovely story 5 .
Escape to Bellbird Bay: A heartwarming story of second chances

Neil Simpson loves teaching and his position as principal at a prestigious boys’ school in Brisbane. But
when scandal rocks the school, and he learns his father’s health is failing, he has no choice but to
return to his hometown of Bellbird Bay.
Determined not to be a burden to her brother and his new partner, Ali is considering her options
when her world and Neil’s collide. Having avoided commitment all her life, Ali is unprepared for the
force of her attraction to the man who is trying to come to terms with the upheaval in his own life.
As fate conspires to keep them apart, can this small town work its magic on these two lost souls?
Author Bio –
After a career in education, Maggie Christensen began writing contemporary women’s fiction
portraying mature women facing life-changing situations, and historical fiction set in her native
Scotland. Her travels inspire her writing, be it her trips to visit family in Scotland, in Oregon, USA or
her home on Queensland’s beautiful Sunshine Coast. Maggie writes of mature heroines coming to
terms with changes in their lives and the heroes worthy of them. Maggie has been called the queen
of mature age fiction and her writing has been described by one reviewer as like a nice warm cup of
tea. It is warm, nourishing, comforting and embracing.
From the small town in Scotland where she grew up, Maggie was lured to Australia by the call to
‘Come and teach in the sun’. Once there, she worked as a primary school teacher, university lecturer
and in educational management. Now living with her husband of over thirty years on Queensland’s
Sunshine Coast, she loves walking on the deserted beach in the early mornings and having coffee by
the river on weekends. Her days are spent surrounded by books, either reading or writing them – her
