About this listen

Her dream holiday is his everyday life. His dream holiday is her normal life. What happens when they collide?

Ally and her dad, Geoff, run the family business, a creative retreat, from their home Hollyhock Cottage in picturesque Kittiwake Cove. They give their guests their dream break, but Ally hankers after glamourous city living, fancy restaurants and art galleries.

Ally’s survival strategy is to escape out of season, take a break abroad and pretend to be the person she always imagined she would be. She meets Logan while she’s away and he turns out to be exactly the kind of distraction she’s looking for.

With her spirits restored, Ally returns home, picks up the reins again and sets her sights on another successful season, but when Logan unexpectedly arrives on the scene, she soon realises she’s in for a summer that’s going to be far from straightforward…

A story about bringing a holiday home – and what happens when what goes on on holiday comes back to bite you…

Home is definitely where the heart is

What a great story, pre ordered as I love all Heidi Swain books & this didn’t disappoint. A little bit of romance, with home life, jealousy, intrigue & a little bit more romance. Karen Cass is a fabulous narrator. Super listen, all done in 48 hours couldn’t put the book down.

Lovely!

I always enjoy Heidi Swain's books and this one did not disappoint. Likable characters, a beautiful setting and just enough "peril" to make the story exciting. Now I'm looking forward to the summer. A very enjoyable listen.

Stilted narration

I sadly couldn't carry on listening. The stilted way the narrator read was too irritating.
