Thank you to NetGalley and Simon and Schuster UK for this ARC.

Daisy, 28, is returning to her hometown of Wynmouth, Norfolk after having left her materialistic boyfriend Laurence. Her parents live and work on the Wynbrook Manor Estate for owner Algy who has always been somewhat of a grandfather to Daisy.

Daisy takes a job in the pub working for Sam from the previous book The Secret Seaside Escape while she mulls over what she really wants to do. Her parents aren't too happy about her turning up without Laurence, and they don't like it at first when she falls in insta-love with Josh, an American tourist. But is Josh all he seems?

I liked the community that always help each other out, with Sam, Tess, Nick and Penny always on hand. Daisy starts out as a petulant child and is treated as thus by her exasperated parents, but they have no right to interfere in her relationship with Laurence. Algy and Josh are lovely but could be less secretive.
 
This is a good description of a warm summer with a lot of swimming and outdoor eating, picking fruit and tending flowers. All this doesn't distract from the fact though that this is a fairly formulaic and predictable story - cosy but forgettable. It's feel-good, clean and light-hearted - regular readers of Heidi Swain will appreciate knowing exactly what they are going to get.
