Much Love from Pretty Beach

Contemporary Romance

By: Polly Babbington

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

🌸 Welcome back to Pretty Beach, the gorgeous, small-town world where sea breezes carry secrets, bunting flutters across cobbled lanes and second chances come wrapped in cups of tea and kindness.

🌸 When Darby Lovell hit her forties, she didn’t expect to start over. She thought her life had already been written. But then one quiet evening, she opens her laptop, films a little slice of her real life by the sea and accidentally changes everything.

🌸 In Much Love from Pretty Beach, Darby finds herself at the centre of a whirlwind she never planned. Between juggling family, work, and love with the man who’s quietly stolen her heart, she must decide how much of herself she’s willing to share — and what truly matters when the camera stops rolling.

🌸 Brimming with heart, humour and the dreamiest seaside setting imaginable, this women’s fiction romcom mix is a swoon-worthy, escapist contemporary romance for anyone who adores the idea of living by the sea, small-town gossip, and a happily ever after that feels gloriously real. Because, of course, we all dream about that oh-so-delicious HEA.

🌸 Gorgeous, heartwarming and utterly Polly — settle in and say hello to Pretty Beach. 💕

🌸 If you have not entered the Pollyverse yet, you need to. Make a pot of tea, get under a quilt and don't come up for air. 🌸
