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 .

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

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?

the river on weekends. Her days are spent surrounded by books, either reading or writing them – her
