Thank you Avon Books, Bella Osborne and NetGalley for my digital review copy - my thoughts are my own.

This is the first book I've read by Bella Osborne and I was thrilled to be gifted a digital review copy after seeing great reviews.

I really enjoyed this first part to the Meet Me at Pebble Beach series - lots of humour but also some tough social issues such as homelessness. The character of Regan developed nicely and I'm looking forward to reading part 2 to find out what happens next.

Bella Osbourne never fails to entertain us reader and keep us enjoying it throughout.
This book is what we need right now to pass our time away with all the negativity around. The main charcater to begin with is Regan, in bed with her half eaten take out kebab.. Then has to make it to the airport and yes this woman is such a funny character, she left home without her pants, i can relate to this. lol.
The story is fun, and everyone life will change with a large lotto win and the other characters all have flaws but these are noticed mostly by the author but we have plots and stories and so many page turns you have to find out what happens next. As time progresses, you find out what really is importnat in life.
Thank you to netgalley and the pblishers for my early cvopy to review this.

I received an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This is my intro to Bella Osborne. Why she has not been on my radar prior to now is a HUGE issue! She is AMAZING! I cannot wait to finish my to read list to get more of Bella Osborne onto my list! She may be bumping some other authors, so they better look out and step up their game!

This book is just what we need right now, humor, romance and more. We begin the book with Regan waking up with a half-eaten kebab as a pillow. Seriously, I want to be her BFF! If I woke up on that, I know the night before had a story and it was a pretty darn good one! She is then interrupted in her slow reconstructing the night before by her being reminded that she had to take Cleo to the airport. Wow, this is some start. You better put your seatbelt on, strap in, because we are in for some ride with this author. I love her antics, her start, her style. Can the author be my BFF instead? I am available to Zoom, facetime, skype during this Quarantine so you can bounce ideas off of me, make me laugh, cry, etc. PRETTY PRETTY PLEASE!!! Regan also almost leaves the house WITHOUT PANTS! The start to this book is just PHENOMONAL! PANTS! YUP! I have almost done that- you CANNOT leave the house in BOY SHORTS! NOT APPROPRIATE attire, under any circumstances, especially now in QUARANTINE. I no longer have a Quaranheiny, it is a GIGANTIC heiny! OK, first chapter and we have a half eaten kebab, no pants, carpet burn on a nose, a forgotten mobile, double parking and more. Woah BABY! I need a serious airbag!
This book was so much fun and exactly what I needed right now, the only thing that I have negative to say about it was that there was not enough of it! PLEASE GIVE ME MORE! PLEASE CONTACT ME AND WE CAN FACETIME, ZOOM, GOOGLE HANGOUT, you name it, please slide into my DMs! You are my new fave!!! James Patterson, you may be replaced as my favorite author. I may have read 200 + of your books, but Bella had me by the cajones from page 1! If you are bored during this Quarantine, guess what, I have found the answer!

A new Bella Osborne series is always something great to look forward to.
I loved the first book in this series. Regan's life has a complete change in direction after a friends prank backfires.
Pebble Beach is a lovely setting for a book and the characters are so well drawn that you feel instantly invested with them. The first book has made me eager to read more.

Regan lives with her partner Jarvis but is getting fed up with his constant nagging over her lateness and untidiness. She is also fed up with her job knowing that the best part of it is her friendship with her co-worker Alex. Regan is over the moon when she discovers she has won the lottery, she dumps Jarvis and quits her job only to find that Alex had played a trick on her and she is now homeless and jobless with no money.
Angry and upset Regan meets Charlie and dares to believe her life isn’t totally in ruins but Charlie has a secret of his own that could wreck their new found happiness.
The ending had me wishing I had the next book so I could just carry on reading!

Winning The Lottery Causes Major Life Changes
That is especially true when it is a prank. None of the characters are perfect, but all are presented in a way that the reader overlooks their flaws and accepts them as-is. This is a very humorous story with a decent plotline of finding out what is truly important in life.
This is the first in a four-part series that must be read in order. I loved the book and can't wait for the next episode. I received this ARC book for free from Net Galley and this is my honest review.

Loved the first part of this book. Regan is such a disastrous, lovable character. Some real twists and turns along the way, and I definitely didn't see the twist at the end coming. Looking forward to the remaining parts of the story, and following Regan's onward journey......

Well this was an excellent way to kick off a series! This book wasn't what I was expecting but in a really good way... I mean everything that could go wrong for Regan really does and there are so many things hanging over her head it could make you weep, but it makes for excellent reading.



Regan is quite an easy character to get to know and so sympathise with from the word go. I would HATE to have her as a co-worker or even a friends for that matter because I think all of her troubles would stress me out a bit and I know I wouldn't be able to tolerate her work ethic. But as someone to read about, she is perfect reading material and allowed me to escape all the chaos in the real world.



I love the fact that this series looks like its going to be set in Brighton as well, it's been so long since I read a book set there and I can't wait to see what the town has in store for Regan and her friends. This opening installment of the series really does leave you wanting more and I can see that it is setting up for some trouble and hopefully some answers for Regan in the pages to come. I can't wait to read part 2!

Alex's prank upends Regan's life. He thought it would be funny to make her think she won the lottery but it turns out she didn't and well, she ended up losing her boyfriend (no big loss that one), her job, and her home. As bad as that might sound, she finds that there are bright spots ahead thanks not only to Charlie (yes, there's a new love interest) but also because she has been and continues to be kind to others, most notably Kevin, who is homeless. Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC. A cheery read that will remind you how it takes a village....

I adore this author. Her books never fail to make me smile. I haven’t been able to put this down at all.
Perfect setting
Perfect characters
Perfect plot

“He gave her a look that made her go weak at the knickers”!!

What a delightfully fun read that had me smiling and literally laughing out loud! Well written and full of wit! My first read of Bella Osborne and I will definitely come back for more! This is part one of a four part series and I am looking forward to reading the next three parts!

Part one introduces us to Regan who dumps her boyfriend Jarvis and quits her job after winning the lottery... a prank that goes terribly wrong and sees us following the story of how Regan will get back on her feet after hitting rock bottom.

Will Charlie, a handsome stranger who enters the mix during this rock bottom moment be the answer to Regan getting her life back in order?
We may have to wait until part two to see?

Thank you Netgalley, Avon Books UK and Bella Osborne for the review eARC in return for my honest review.

A really great first part to a book by an author I really look forward to reading, a few unexpected things happening along the way as well which make you wanna keep reading straight away

Oh I am so excited to start a new series of books from the very talented Bella Osborne! I have just finished the first part of the "Meet me at Pebble Beach" books and I am already totally HOOKED! It's so addictive! I want to know what is going to happen in the second part so so bad! the first part finished on a terrible suspense! I am so impatient now to read the second book! I totally recommend to read "out of the blue"! It's a short book and it's very addictive! A real page-turner!

This is the first book I read by Bella Osborne. I have seen so many great reviews of her work, that I definitely had her on my "need to read" list. I absolutely like her writing style, character development and plot.

I was just getting very interested in the plot, and then it came to an abrupt halt. I knew this was the first of a series, but was not really happy how it ended so suddenly. I later saw that this is "serial novel", so that misunderstanding is totally on me, but that will make me want to read the rest of the serial as soon as possible.

I want to thank NetGalley.com and Avon Books UK for allowing me to read the ARC. My review is my own opinion not influenced by receiving the Advance Reader Copy.

Amazing!! This past one in a four part series, admittedly I usually wait for the whole book to be finished before I read it simply because I’m so impatient with cliffhangers, but I couldn’t really pass up this opportunity to read a preview for net galley.
I’m a huge fan of Bella Osbourne so I knew I was going to get a good read and this didn’t disappoint.
That moment when Regan holds her winning lottery ticket, I was right there with her punching the air, I thought ‘yes! Now this is going to be interesting’ however - plot twist - it was all a trick from her work mate Alex and she doesn’t find out until she’s said and done everything she really thinks. It was totally hilarious! And then to top it all off she attacks Alex by repeatedly bashing his head against a revolving door! I was laughing out loud by this point. The story had certainly got interesting.
I loved Regans connection to Kevin and his hound dog Elvis, it was very touching and I’m hoping we’ll see more from him later parts and learn his story. I know it’s only the first part and it’s setting up all the pieces for the rest of the book, but I can already see the clogs turning in her mind as she’s discovering her own strengths and drives and ambitions, even at rock bottom she doesn’t give up. The huge plot bomb at the end regarding Charlie totally blew me away and I’m desperate to read part two and to see how she grows as a person to be able to live life to the max with him.

Regan is in an unhappy relationship, she doesn't like her job, and then her luck changes - she wins the lottery ! Or does she? - everything falls apart. Lots of laugh out loud moments, brilliantly written, I can't wait for the next instalment!

Obviously it's a short read as it's only part of a book. Wasn't the most engaging reason but I'm intrigued enough to read the next part

Obviously it's not a full book and therefore rather short. It was a bit 50/50 for me. Didn't like Regan. Who gives up everything until the money is actually in their bank? I did like Charlie though and I think his story will be worth reading the rest of the book

Lovely feel good book. It was well written and enjoyable to read. Loved the cover too. With this author you know you will be guaranteed a light read. Something to pick up at the end of a hard day

I absolutely loved this book, had me laughing out loud and gasping at bits in the book (not giving anything away as hate that in a review!) I haven’t read anything by this author before, but I want to read more already. I loved that characters, the wit, the storyline – just fabulous. As an author she seems to have my sense of humour which came across in her book. Looking forward to the next instalment. If I could give this 6 stars I would!

Thank you NetGalley for my complimentary copy in return for my honest review.
