You’ve left me on a cliff hanger!!!! Arhhhhh! Brilliant book, second one in the series and just as good as the first. New characters introduced and still likable. Love the story line – what a rollercoaster!

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

I’ve just finished Meet Me at Pebble Beach Part Two in one sitting, I so can’t wait for the third instalment I need to know that Kevin and Elvis are ok. What a fab read, another great instalment by the fab author Bella Osborne.

OMG! What an amazing instalment. Part two in this great serialisation of this great book really amps up the suspense.
Following the relationship of Regan and Charlie, my heart went out to the both of them, and like Beanstalk states, I can see both sides of the reasoning as to how they feel. My fingers are still crossed for them to be so immensely happy together, no matter how short it is.
Seeing Regan finally developing a work ethic, trying to start her own business while already feeling like she’s drowning socially and personally. It’s really interesting and nice to see that before Regan found herself in this situation she still saw others that were worse off and tried to help, like buying Kevin a coffee, now, she’s the one that is receiving the kindness - the help from Malcolm, the friendliness of the librarian, Penny offering a temporary job, even Charlie sparking ideas for her market stall.
The storyline with Kevin has really touched my heart. Regan really wants to help him but doesn’t know how and feels she doesn’t have much to offer. My heart was in my mouth at the end of this instalment and I’m really hoping that Kevin and Elvis are ok. I really can’t wait to read part three.

Again so so enjoyable and an easy, quick read. This one in the series made me feel a bit more emotional because of what’s going on in the story but Bella always manages to keep the storyline uplifting and I really couldn’t put this down.

Can’t wait for the next part!!

Another fabulous read.
Just as Reagan Is offered a job working in a coffee shop with Penny and starts to get her life sorted and starts making plans for her business venture, she finds Charlie is distant from her. After Kevin gets attacked and then she can’t find him where she thinks he and Elvis should be.
As she gets the go-ahead for her business, she’s still not being honest with Cleo and worried about where she’ll go once cleo returns home.
On a night out with Penny, disaster strikes. Another cliffhanger at the end. Can’t wait for part 3.

Now that's how to leave things on a cliff-hanger!

The 2nd part of Ms. Osborne's 'Meet me at Pebble Beach' has just as much fun and drama as the opening. Regan and Charlie come to an agreement on their relationship, that neither are happy with. Cleo, her best friend is still out of the country and desperately unhappy. We learn more about Regan's new boss Penny. Poor Kevin, Regan's homeless friend is put through the Wringer (I have my suspicions about him, that I won't share yet).

All in all, and I've followed this author's writing journey, this is shaping up into her best novel yet. The writing is sharp, precise and brimming with energy.

Now, roll on a few days for Part 3. I've got to find out what happened!

This is part two of the four-part serialisation of the Pebble Beach series. As it’s part of a series, it does need to be read in order. Each part is, however, novella sized so you can easily catch up on the story if you’ve missed the opening part of the story. The full-sized book, with all four parts together, will be released later in the year if you prefer to read them in one go!

I won’t go into too much detail about the book in case I let any spoilers slip out. What I will say though is that Part One had already pulled me into the storyline good and proper, and this latest instalment kept me gripped throughout wondering what was going to happen between all the different characters. Regan is a lovely character and I love her story. You’ve got to feel sorry for her though, as for someone so bright and bubbly she certainly experiences a lot of bad luck. Hero-man Charlie, who Regan met in Part One, is understandably blowing hot and cold. I can’t wait to see where we are going with his storyline, but I hope I won’t need too many tissues to get myself through it!

This book, as expected, had me hooked from the first page and I sped through it just to get to the end. It manages to pull on your heartstrings and makes you chuckle all in one go!! It leaves the story with yet another cliff-hanger at the half way stage, and I can’t wait to pick up the book again with Part Three!! Just like the other books, the cover image for the book is beautiful with a differing backdrop of the Beach Huts for each of the four books! They really would be perfect for hanging on the wall!! Roll on Part Three!!!

OMG what a way to end, I dont think i can hold out for part three.

Following on from Out Of The Blue, i eagerly wanted to read the next installment. We follow Regan's journey in putting her life back together, just when Regan seems to be getting back on track tragedy strikes.......

Wow brilliant read but seriously itching to get my hands on Book Three of this wonderful collection.

Stop what your doing grab a cuppa and enjoy!

FABULOUS!

This story is so addictive, it has great believable characters but also has a sadness running through it which enhances your need to carry on reading because it can only get better, right?
Regan gets herself into predicaments that make you think really, where are you going with this girl? Unputdownable, and I so want some positivity for all in this amazing story. I’m ready for part 3.

Great read, the second part of this book. Finishes on a cliffhanger so can't wait to see what happens next!

This is the second instalment of Bella’s latest book.

In the first book we met Reagan for the first time. I did not take to her at all, which is a credit to Bella’s writing that she made me feel so strongly about this young, stupid, immature woman!

In this next chapter I’ve started to come around to her, I’m seeing her caring side, and how she really is trying to turn her life around.

Once again though, it kept me turning those pages! I can’t wait for the next part!

My thanks to Netgalley and Avon/Harper Collins for the advance copy

This book is part 2 in the Pebble beach series. You will definitely need to have read part 1 first, before reading this book.
It is hard to review this book without giving away spoilers. I can say that it continues the story of Regan, as she struggles with her whole life changing suddenly. She is going through her wish list with her friend Charlie, and trying to make positive changes.
I absolutely raced through this book, it was enthralling and I was engrossed. Then I got to the end,I actually gasped and then had to re-read the last page again to make sure that I had read it properly - I had, what a completely unexpected cliffhanger. Now I have to wait impatiently until part 3.
If you haven't read this series yet then you are missing out. Go back and read part 1, and then read this part.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for my ARC.

Carrying on from part one we see how Regan reacts to the news that Charlie shockingly dropped at the end of part one which was a shock.



As she and him set out on a relationship of sorts, he helps Regan discover what she wants to do next with her life and career leading to her getting a job she likes as a stop gap until she gets her feet in the ground and opens her own market stall!



Can taking chances guide her in work and love?



I can't wait for the next part once again Bella is a world wizard and I'm also intrigued into Cleo coming back from her work trip and reacting to everything that's changed for Regan too this story so far has me hooked and rooting for Charlie and Regan to work out and enjoy their happiness no matter how short lives of could be!



Many thanks to the publishers for allowing me to review this book for them!

Ohhhhh this series is brilliant,, i feel more twists with Charlie is in the pipeline and we still don't know Kevins backstory. Role on March for part 3.

Really enjoying this series!! That was the worst place for the book to end!! Why???!!!! Now I need to read the next one in the series to see what happened. Of all things for Regan to choose to sell at the market and she picks jam. She burns everything she tries to cook and always makes an absolute mess. The best part is-- she has never in her life even made jam. She had to google everything. She lives in a studio that has no kitchen and her dad doesn't seem to want her using his kitchen (although who would after her first jam making disaster.) So where did Regan plan to make the jam???? I keep thinking Regan is going to end up with Elvis and will need to hide him in the studio that she isn't suppose to be living in. Then there is Charlie. What is going on with him? Why can't he just enjoy his time with Regan?

Definitely recommend the book. As always, my only complaint is that it's too short. I just want to keep reading and find out what happens. I hoping maybe in the end, Regan will actually get a winning lottery ticket. Can't wait to read the next book and find out what is happening with Regan, Charlie, Elvis and Kevin. I love reading the author's books and love the cover of this book.

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