A Cottage in Lovely Bay : Contemporary Romance

Rate this book
Welcome to Lovely Bay where the sea sparkles, the sun shines and romance is in the air. From the bestselling contemporary romance author of The Boat House Pretty Beach comes a gorgeous women’s fiction romance story that will guarantee you’ll fall head over heels in love.

Fleur has had a gutful of a year. She thought she’d seen it all, but, well, no she most certainly hadn’t. After her dad passes away, her sister moves to the other side of the world and her daughter takes off on an adventure, Fleur is left wondering what in the world she is meant to actually do with her life.

Just as she’s in planning mode and not exactly exuberant about what is around the corner, the third smallest town in the country pops up and her path swerves from its same old predictable journey to a very different one indeed.

As soon as Fleur arrives in Lovely Bay, she feels as if she’s home…


Praise for romcom author Polly Babbington.

Warmth, humour, romance and romantic escapism at its best.

A gorgeous romantic read and perfect escape.

If you love small town romance you’re in the right place.

Just right for your contemporary romance bookshelf. Loved it.

As with all Polly's books, lovely bay sounds just like a place I would like to be "energized" too.
