Coming Home To Wishington Bay by Maxine Morrey
Coming
Home To Wishington Bay
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!

We can see where this is going, right? But it is the journey there that is so delightful.
Holly has devoted her life to work and getting ahead professionally. She gave away her heart once, against her intuition, and it lead to disaster not only for her personally but also damaged her at work. She began to have panic attacks and was forced to take a break, at least the summer off.
Her aunt had died the previous year and this gave Holly the time to get the house she had inherited sorted for sale.
Although she knew a respectable doctor lived on one half of the beach house, neither was prepared for the impactful way they first met. Gabe looked more like a surfer dude than doctor, and was acting like neither that fateful morning. Happily he turns out to be a stand up guy (until tackled on the beach) and close friends with Holly's brother and pregnant sister-in-law.
Wishington Beach is a colorful and close community. I enjoyed the shops and the neighbors, but this is really a family-centric romantic tale. A clean read with some very humorous moments and a very sweet and endearing dog.
Holly's troubles are her addiction to work plus the panic attacks she struggles to control. Gabe is enjoying life, but when his parents surprise him with an extended visit, he has to act fast. He sort of told his parents he was in a long distance relationship with Holly, never imagining they would meet. This came as a last minute shock to Holly and her family as well.
The story of one interesting summer and two people finding what they need close to home.

Bio
Maxine has wanted to be a writer
for as long as she can remember and wrote her first (very short) book for
school when she was ten.
As time went by, she continued to write, but 'normal' work often got in the way. She has written articles on a variety of subjects, as well as a local history book on Brighton. However, novels are her first love.

In August 2015, she won Harper
Collins/Carina UK's 'Write Christmas' competition with her first romantic
comedy, 'Winter's Fairytale'.
Maxine lives on the south coast of England, and when not wrangling with words loves to read, sew and listen to podcasts. Being a fan of tea and cake, she can (should!) also be found doing something vaguely physical at the gym.
