Synopsis

PRE-ORDER BEST SUMMER EVER, THE BRAND NEW NOVEL FROM MILLION COPY BESTSELLING AUTHOR HEIDI SWAIN, COMING APRIL 2025.

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…

Goodreads review by exploraDora on June 23, 2024

Now that I'm done reading this book, I wish I could go back in time and DFN it 🤦🏼‍♀️ it seemed so damn long, the story dragged and wasn't as good as the rating makes it out to be..

Such a fantastic book, I really loved the beautiful setting of Dorset, and the wonderful character of Ally. Straight away I felt a bond with her, her attempt to give herself a taste of the life she wanted to lead was so moving. Seeing her give up her dreams to support her lovely dad was very inspiri......more

Probably my least favourite from Heidi Swain 💔 Story took so long to develop, didn’t really like the FMC, you didn’t really get to know the MMC, you were just kind of told that they were perfect for eachother, the parrot was supposed to be funny but was kind of just annoying, lacked the heidi swain......more

I always enjoy Heidi's books, She is a really good story teller with a relaxed and easy to read style. However, this is the first book of hers that I've struggled with.

I love a Heidi Swain read and it’s been lovely to get to know Kittiwake Cove in The Holiday Escape. Ally and Geoff are the perfect custodians of Hollyhock Cottage and the creative breaks they offered from their home sounded wonderful in such an idyllic setting. Full of community spirit, the whole Co......more


Quotes

‘Thought-provoking and unashamedly romantic’ heat

‘A fun read’ Bella

‘I know I’m always in safe hands when it comes to Heidi Swain, and The Holiday Escape is just what I expected from a master of romantic fiction…Swain writes female friendships so realistically, and the relationship between Ally and BFF Flora is funny and relatable. As for Ally, we really feel the way she’s being tugged between her family duties and her dream life. When it comes to Logan, you’ll be rooting for them all the way – and tearing through the book to find out what happens next’ My Weekly

'Romance, community, friendship and joy - this story has all the elements we crave in a Swain novel. Dreamy.' Woman's Weekly

‘A delightful romance for sun-soaked days.’ Woman’s Own
