A great start for a new series. I had fun and rooted for the characters.
I liked the entertaining and well crafted plot, the likeable characters and the lovely setting.
Can't wait to read the next instalment.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.

Meet Me at Pebble Beach Part One - Out of the Blue was yet another great book by Bella Osborne. Part One introduces us to Regan who on thinking she’s won millions on the lottery dumps the boyfriend and her job to live out her bucket list. However things don’t go to plan and she finds herself homeless, single and with no job. What will she do now? A great first book of this new series I’m waiting not so patiently for Part Two as I can’t wait to find out what will happen to Regan next.

I always love a new Bella Osborne series so was excited to read the first part of Out Of the Blue (Meet Me at Pebble Beach).

In this book we meet Regan. She has a winning lottery ticket. She can wave goodbye to her rubbish boyfriend and terrible job. Though does it seem that it’s a little bit too good to be true? Jobless, homeless and single she meets Charlie - but could he be her chance for a fresh start?

Well written, it will captivate you from the start and leave you eager to read the remaining parts.

Thank you to NetGalley, Avon Books UK and the author for the chance to review.

This was such a pleasant surprise!

I almost never read the whole description of a book because I want to enjoy it as much as possible without knowing a lot of details.

And I didn't realize that this was a novella, a series of 4 books and I am so looking forward to the other parts of this book.

The author's way of writing is very captivating, very quick with just enough humor and serious issues as well to keep your attention and you start craving for the rest.

Regan - such a cool name! is the main character and in this 100 page novella we can read how she tries to get back on her feet after thinking she won a big lottery prize.

I have a lot of acquaintances that act/ed similarly as Regan as it was sometimes tough watching them find their grounds in this world.

That is the appeal of the book - you can read about the person that you can identify with and feel her struggles.

No need to say that I can't wait to read the other parts of this series! As quickly as possible please. :)

Can't wait to read more, a fun and great start to a promisingly good new series by Bella Osborne. Can't wait to find out what happens next

Fabulous.
The story of Reagan whose in a relationship with Jarvis. She buys a lottery ticket and makes a list of things she’d do if she won. She leaves the ticket in her drawer at work as her boyfriend doesn’t think buying a lottery ticket is good to do.
When she comes into work after the weekend, her friend asks her to check the ticket, she thinks she’s won, then she ends her relationship and quits her job, only to find out that her colleague changed her ticket over and now he’s won. She fights with him only to get stopped by Charlie(who she thinks is a police officer)
Life takes a downward spiral, she has no job, nowhere to stay and limited funds.
Then she attend a community centre where she finds that other people have been through more than her.
The ending was a cliff-hanger and now I want to know what happens next. Can’t wait to read the second part.

Her life is chaotic and thanks to a joke gone wrong, Regan finds her life changes within hours.

I couldn't help but feel for her as she tries to get back on her feet. There's a gorgeous stranger in the mix too.

I am impatiently waiting for the next instalment to find out what's next for Regan.

I always love when a Bella Osbourne series appears. You know it’s going to be fast paced with a cliffhanger end makin u want more. This was no different. Looking forward to part 2

Thanks Netgalley and the Publisher. I really really like this author and everything she has written, this is going to be a start of another great series, great characters and locations, roll on book No.2

Classic Bella Osborne

A human flawed heroine, a hero with his own issues and a scenario any of us could find ourselves in. Bella never fails to entertain and make me laugh at her books, but with serious undertones at the same time.

Can't wait for Part 2.

I love this author’s books, so I know when I see a new series beginning that it’s definitely something which I’m going to enjoy reading! This is Part One of the Pebble Beach series and is a novella sized read. The four books of this series are initially released as a four-part serialisation, with a full-sized book released at a later date. As it’s a short read, it’s absolutely perfect to settle down with for a couple of hours and finish it in one go! In this series, we meet Regan. She’s in a relationship that she’s not happy with and works in a job where she feels the same! When her numbers come up on a lucky dip lottery ticket, Regan’s life will never be the same again!

I fell in love with this series right from the first chapter. Thanks to its seaside location, it felt so bright and cheerful straight away and I just wanted to jump in between the pages so I could be part of it!! Regan is a great character – she is messy, clumsy and always late, but she has a big heart of gold, which shows with her buying Kevin, the homeless guy a coffee every morning. Thanks to her impulsive purchase of a lottery ticket, she finds her life changes, and without giving too much of the storyline away, I loved the twist of the plot!

We get to meet a few of the other characters along the way. Jarvis, her boyfriend, is a bit of a control freak. I have to admit I didn’t really like him so let out a little silent cheer when Regan ruins his rug! Charlie, a hero in more than one respect, is just perfect and I can’t wait to see how his storyline develops, particularly with the cliff-hanger we are left on at the very end!!

The storyline is great, the characters are so likeable and there is obviously so much more to come. The cover of the book is so beautiful and would definitely stand out amongst others on a shelf! The only down side is that I have to wait for Part 2 to find out what is going to happen next! I have my ideas about how life pans out for Regan, but I will have to see if I’m right or wrong! Would definitely recommend…fab, fab, fab!!!

When you begin a Bella Osborne book, you just know you are in safe, comfortable hands. This new offering is no exception. We are introduced to Regan and Jarvis, love their names, so quirky. Then Charlie appears, a man in uniform, who introduces Regan to mindfulness classes. Following a personal cancer diagnosis, these classes have been recommended to me too, and I shall be following this up after reading a taste of what happens there. Looking forward to seeing how the storyline develops with these two characters.

Another brilliant read from the talented Bella.

Regan, dead end job and dating a man who does nothing but irritate her. In a twist of events Regan finds her life in a downward spiral. Can Regan pick up the pieces and stop herself from hitting rock bottom. Part one of the pebble beach collection. Am eagerly awaiting book number 2.

Genuinely couldn’t put it down. Loved it from page 1 and has a pretty cover too.

It's always a highlight of the year when the first part of a new Bella Osborne book is released. This year is no different.

This is the tale of Regan (female persuasion) and Charlie (male firefighter) and it is turning out to be a piece with real substance to it. I haven't made up my mind yet is I like Regan that much. However, that's by the by as this is a superbly written introduction to Regan's world, the first couple of pages are some of the funniest that I've read in a long time.

With a bombshell of a cliffhanger, I'm going to be checking Netgalley for the second part and start reading that asap.

This is Ms Osborne taking her writing onto a new level. Don't miss it!

My thanks to Avon and Netgalley for allowing me to read.

Hurry up part two!
Regan certainly knows how to create attention, she had me cringing, she had me happy, she had me sad. She has timing issues and it seems bad luck in everything which isn’t helped by a meddlesome co worker. Things just start to improve then boom, will her luck change? I do hope so. I can’t wait to see how her character evolves in the next books. A great start, just don’t leave me hanging to long.

It's hard to review this book without giving away any spoilers, but I can say that I absolutely loved it. The only negative thing that I can say about this book is that I have to wait to read the second part.
The ending was very unexpected, and I really need to know what happens next.
The characterisation is wonderful, I especially hope that we see more of Kevin, and learn his story.
Thank you to Netgalley and the Publisher for my ARC.

I am a Bella Osbourne fan, so I already knew I was going to enjoy this start of the story.

As usual, Bella’s characters are likeable, sassy, a bit messed up, but good at heart.

I really enjoyed the start of this series, it’s uplifting,. romantic, and as ever - full of drama!!

My thanks to Netgalley and Avon Books

You can't go wrong with books by Bella Osbourne and this series is going to be fantastic, i await the 2nd part with bated breath.

When Regan's artist friend Cleo leaves to go abroad on a work trip, Regan's life falls into tatters over a lottery ticket she thought she'd won big on thanks to a sour prank by her work colleague Alex.



Losing her home with partner Jarvis her job and life as she knew it, kind homeless man and his dog Kevin and Elvis and new stranger Charlie help her realise that though she may be down on her luck and without any millions she can still change her life into a better one...



I loved this first instalment of Bella's new book so much from down on her luck Regan, mysterious Kevin and his dog Elvis and Mantra the mindfulness group cracked me up as if you don't know Bring Me The Horizon sung a song called Mantra which kept going through my head while reading and isn't a classic to help with mindfulness really! The intrigue means I will certainly being reading the next part especially to see what will happen with handsome kind stranger Charlie and Regan.



The ending was a shocker prepare yourselves a wonderful drama rollercoaster ride of emotions book!



Many thanks to the publisher's for allowing me to review this book for them!

Cute story. Definitely can't wait until the next part to see what happens to Regan next. Was not expecting the what Charlie reveals to Regan. Of course, the book had to end there. I can not believe the pranks that Regan and Alex would lay on each other. Knowing this I still fell for the one that ends up causing Regan to be homeless and jobless. Jarvis wasn't much of a loss. The "special" toffee apples for Alex were pure genius and he will definitely be getting a surprise. He deserves it. I have a feeling Kevin and Elvis will play a bigger part in the other books. I also have a bad feeling about Regan staying in Cleo's studio. Nothing good can come from that. Cleo's artwork is very .... interesting. Who is buying the canvases and where are they displaying them????

Definitely recommend the book. It's full of great characters (Tarty Tara- the name says it all). Looking forward to what happens next. I wish the books were longer!!! Loved the cover of the book.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Avon Books UK through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
