Meet Me at Pebble Beach: Part Two – In Too Deep

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.

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!

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.

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!!

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.

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.

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 enjoyed this second part of the Meet Me At Pebble Beach serial. I am so fond of the characters after meeting them in the first story and learning more about them in this second part. Regan has a heart of gold and follows it. Charlie is a gem, trying to protect others even though he is not well. Kevin and Elvis (his dog) stole my heart almost from when they were first introduced.

The situations the author has created are both humorous and heartbreaking. I am totally invested in continuing the story. I absolutely need to find out the result of the cliffhanger! I am hopeful for a happy ending.

I want to thank NetGalley and AvonBooks UK for allowing me to read the advanced reader copy. My review is my opinion not influenced by receiving the ARC.

In this second part, we see Regan begin to explore the possibility of setting up her own business, which you have to admire her for. She is desperately hoping that her relationship with Charlie will to start to blossom although he seems to be distancing himself. And we end on a cliffhanger, will Kevin and Elvis be OK? Looking forward to part three now

Regan's life is on the up, she may not have proper accomodation ,but she fins a job and decides which way her career will go next. Her romance with Charlie is not going well but she is living in hope . Hard to put down, just as enthralling as part 1.,really looking forward to part 3

I was very excited to get to read the second part of this book, to find out how Regan, Charlie, Kevin, Elvis and the other characters were getting on, and I wasn't disappointed. It had me gripped, and I have to say the way the 2nd part ended has me completely hooked! I wasn't expecting that (I am not going to spoil it for others), and really need to read part three as soon as it comes out to find out how it continues...……………….

Cliffhanger ending or what 😱! Love the unconventional and very human heroine. Light reading but with some serious undertones. Enjoyed part two of the book and can't wait for part three.

I just received an advanced copy ofthis book in exchange for an honest review.
You can receive your copy here : https://www.amazon.com/Meet-Me-Pebble-Beach-Part-ebook/dp/B07WNKTLTP/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=In+Too+Deep+%28Meet+Me+at+Pebble+Beach+%232%29&qid=1585321589&sr=8-1 Thistitle is set to be released on April 16, 2020.  You could download Part 2 at this time, or youcan wait until May 28th for the entire story. You can only imaginethe excitement when I received the email stating that sometimes wishes aregranted! Well, some of my wishes were. I am still available for sociallydistanced Happy Hour with the author, despite the time difference! I am NOTOPPOSED to Day drinking, I used to get paid to serve people and encourage it!We can be Instagram friends and do stories together. I truly NEED to be herBFF!   We are in different times here in the World. Bella isEXACTLY what we need right now! She starts this book out with a BRAIN TUMOR. Iam sorry, but the first thing that I thought when I read this was Arnold Schwarzeneggersaying, “It’s not a TUMOR!” from Kindergarten Cop. I was not trying to beinsensitive, but it was comical. Regan quickly snags a temporary job with herfriend Penny, while Kasia is laid up with a strained Achilles. After hearingthe news, Regan is torn in so many ways! She had quite the day, dropping herphone down the loo or toilet as we call it here in the United States. Charlie’sbrain tumor is making Regan reconsider her entire life. Charlie talks about howRegan is really the only one person standing in her own way of happiness. Isn’tthat true with all of us? We make excuses, but the real reason that we do notdo things is that we are scared. Fear is what holds us back. Fear is what mustbe holding the author back from being my bestie. What if I am the BESTESTfriend that she will ever know? She will never find out without contacting me. Charlie talks about the inflatable sheep that he boughtoff of eBay that took three months to arrive. Seriously? We all need aninflatable sheep to go with our inflatable pub that you can now purchase.  Bella has me giggling with so many of thesesmall little giggles!I cannot wait to get my greedy little paws on thethird installment of this book. I have ravished this book in one sitting, andit is leaving me with insatiable hunger for more! Thank you so much for indulging me with this guiltylittle pleasure of a book!

Part two of Meet Me at Pebble Beach is full of drama leaving us on such a cliffhanger for part 3. Once again we join hapless Regan as she attempts to embark on a new business venture plus build on her relationship with lovely Charlie. This part will make you feel all sorts of emotions and longing for part three. Thank you to NetGalley, Avon Books and the author for the chance to review.

Regan Begins Her Future
This book is part two of a series that must be read in order like chapters in a book.
This episode has a big message about how to be a good person while you live your own life. I love this series and can't wait for the next episode. I received this ARC book for free from Net Galley and this is my honest review.

Really enjoyed part 2, the story keeps developing, it makes me want to keep readying and not put the book down, really looking forward to find out what happens between Charlie and Regan and how and if the relationship develops further, while awaiting to see what happens with the market stall

If you read my review of book one in the series, you will know that I was looking forward to reading more (There are another two after this one).
The combination of humour and desperation from book one is still there but, Regan is starting to find her feet. I’m really enjoying the way Regan’s character is developing along with Charlie, Kevin and Elvis. Another cliff hanger but, at least I know there is more to come.
I’m really looking forward to the next instalment and seeing where Bella takes us .

OH MY WORD! Part 2 of a series of 4 and i am so desperate to get my mitts on the other two and devour them now. These two so far have been completely addictive page turners and i raced through them. I really want to read all four before writing a full review. But so far, one of my fav series to date.

Well In Too Deep,part two in Bella Osborne's new series Meet Me at Pebble Beach, was equally as enjoyable as the first part which introduced us to Regan where we were informed of the major calamity that had befallen her. Normally I find books spilt into serials tend to waver in the second and third parts before picking up again for the finale but this wasn't the case here and the story goes from strength to strength. In fact I really do think it's one of the best books Bella Osborne has ever written. Everything moved along at a great pace and not a chapter was wasted. There was no filling in and I felt we really moved away from the events in part one which had set everything nicely up for the remainder of the book. The foundations had been laid and they were built upon brilliantly.

When I say move away I don't mean all the events that had occurred had been forgotten about. They gave us the basis for the story and now that Regan is slowly starting to come to terms with what has happened to her she begins to realise she can't remain in a sorry state for herself bemoaning what has occurred. She needs to get out there and claw her way back to some sort of happy state of mind and turn her life around. The way in which sets about doing this was so enjoyable to read and I flew threw part two which only whetted my appetite to see what was to come in the remaining two parts.

Having been left on a cliffhanger with the ending of Out of the Blue it was resolved somewhat at the beginning of In Too Deep but that's not to say I was overjoyed to read what the outcome was. It put Regan in a precarious position in which she has to do some deep thinking and decide should she go down a road that may lead to heartbreak or should she step away from something that could bring much joy? She really was caught between a rock and a hard place and between that issue and trying to keep the fact she had lost her job and was living in a small artists studio secret from her best friend Cleo she was maintaining a fine balancing act. One little slip of the tongue and things really could have gone belly up for her.

What I really liked though that with a little nudge in the right direction from her new friend, firefighter Charlie, was that Regan grabbed a little bit initiative and ran with it. A spark of an idea set forth in motion a whole new storyline and I loved the way it was developed. Focusing on perhaps a slightly sadder aspect of the overall plot would have brought down the overall optimistic and hopeful tone of the book and I was glad that this didn't happen. After all this is a story where one must look to the positives in establishing new and happy steps in life.

Regan knows that she needs to earn some money and fast and the idea to set up a stall at the local market was brilliant. The title In Too Deep really came into its own as she appeared like a fish out of water as she struggled to think of something new and creative that hadn't been done before. The jam and chutney making idea using left over fruits and vegetables from the market was brilliant and led to a very funny scene in her Dad's kitchen. The humour throughout was balanced so well with some of the more serious issues at play. But it showed that Regan was turning a corner and that she wasn't going to give up and she understands she can't sit around forever. No one is going to offer a new life on a plate, that she needs to get out there and work for it herself.

A quick mention to the storyline regarding Kevin the homeless man Regan has befriended and his dog Elvis. It's a bit hard to read at times and I hope it does go in a positive direction but I love how it is being weaved in around the overall storyline. As for Regan's Dad, I have my suspicions as to what is going on there so it will be interesting to see am I proven correct or am I way off the mark?

In Too Deep was another brilliant read. OK it may be a quick read but in these troubling times when your mind can't settle to anything for longer periods of time it is the perfect anecdote to take your mind off things for a short while. Again we are left with another cliff hanger ending which makes you want to get your hands on part three Sink or Swim as soon as possible. I can't wait to discover what's next in store for Regan and co especially as things seemed to be on the up for her.

In Meet Me at Pebble Beach (part two)we catch up with the irrepressible Reagan and her blossoming relationship with the gorgeous Charlie. Except the blossoming part has come to an abrupt halt with Charlie’s shocking revelation and Reagan is struggling with her emotions. Finding a temporary job in the much loved coffee shop she frequents, Reagan’s thoughts turn to setting up her own business in the local market as means to making some much needed money.
What I love about Reagan is she is most definitely a ‘fly by the seat of your pants’ kind of woman, the complete opposite to me! The silly humour from part one is still much in evidence with Reagan deciding that jam making will be her route to bagging a market stall, her USP being quirky flavours. Of course that’s perfect for Brighton but she is a complete novice and her attempt to create samples to win over the market manager are so funny. I do have to bring the author to task here; as a long time resident of this seaside city I do think cauliflower and rhubarb would appeal to some!!!! I absolutely love her optimism in the face of near disaster and she is a great character to lift your spirits.
Her caring nature is further explored in part two through the development of homeless Kevin’s story, bringing a level of seriousness to what I would class as a funny but frivolous read. Again the reader is left wondering the fate of Kevin and his faithful companion Elvis and exactly what will happen to Reagan and Charlie’s relationship.
The overall tone to this book is one of humour, warmth,friendship and maybe love, with some great one liners and has the added appeal for me being familiar with all the locations described.
Look forward to part three and my thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for giving me the opportunity to read.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for granting my “wish” to read part 2 of this mini series. Can I be really cheeky and ask for part 3 now as I. Dying to know what happens next after that cliff hanger ending .......

Great continuation to the story and an ending that makes you want to read more.

I enjoyed the first instalment of Regan's story and this second part didn't disappoint.

Regan is trying to turn her life around, she's desperately in love with Charlie but he's trying to push her away to protect them both.

Hurry up with part 3!

Thank you to Avon Books for a digital review copy - my thoughts are my own.

Having enjoyed Part One, I was eager to find out what happened next to Regan. As her relationship with Charlie becomes a roller coaster ride of emotions, Regan needs to find ways to follow her dream to run her own business.

Part Two ended on cliff hanger and I'm eager to read Part Three.

I was extremely lucky to have been given the opportunity to read and review the second book in this new series! I instantly paused the book I was reading to switch to this one. What can I say! It was better than the first part and has left me wanting more! The story pulls at your heart strings and makes you realise that bad things can happen to the nicest of people or that bad things bring out the best in people - you decide. I cannot wait for the next part and don’t want to give too much away but the ending left me shocked andI have to know what happens next!

Well things get a bit dark and twisty for poor Regan in this installment, we really get in much deeper into her storyline and her reasons for being. I like that we really got to know Regan as a character during part 1, out of the blue because that means we can move forward with the plot of the sotry in this installment and get to know ore about some of the side characters, namely Penny, Charlie and Kevin.



I really like Penny as a character and I love the fact that we have a side character who is a little more diverse, Penny is gay and is also an entrepreneur who I feel will really give Regan some help and support over the course of this novel. I have enjoyed getting to know Charlie although I find him a little frustrating as a person. On paper he is a fireman who practices mindfulness and I love that about him but in reality he is still a bit of a mystery and I want to jump into the book and find out some more about him. I like that this book does put a focus on homelessness and the risks for people who are homeless physically and mentally and I've enjoyed getting to know Kevin through that and his dog Elivs. We definitely get deeper into Kevin's story in this part of the book.



This installment drives the plot forwards in terms of Regan's bucket list and her life plans. She ticks off a couple of things on her list and takes steps towards having her own business. I really like the steps that she took towards this (no spoilers here) and I'll be really interested to see how this develops in future parts. There's also the potential to develop more side characters from her new business plan and I am looking forward to seeing where that goes. Chloe is an interesting side character and sub plot and I really hope we get to see and hear a bit more from her in future parts because I feel like she is important but we don't really know how she fits into Regan's life as much because she is such a distance away...



So part 2 of Pebble Beach definitely got darker, we got to know people more and we moved on with Regan's life plan. I am itching to find out what happens in part 3!

Part two in this nice series sees us learn more about Charlie and Reagan not not much more about the mysterious Kevin. Reagan has an unworkable scheme to make money, Charlie's still a great guy, and well, I'm looking forward to part three! This is a fun short read but you very much need to have read the first novella in order to appreciate this one. Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC. Perfect light reading.

What a great segment book!
Part two definitely intensifies the suspense of the happenings.

In this part of the series we can see the thinking of both Charlie and Regan and their logical reasoning of things, their relationship and you just have to have feeling for both of them. As a hopeless romantic I hope and secretly think that they are going to be happy together.

It is really great reading about someone that owns their shit, acknowledges the mistakes and tries to make the best out from the circumstances surrounding them. That is the main reason I love the character of Regan - falling down to the bottom, never forgetting to be kind when she can and trying her best to change something. Nothing too big happens but we can see how her different relations come together to help her in a very simple way that means everything to her.

I am very eagerly awaiting the third installment.

Regan is trying to get her life back on track and although she is still squatting in Cleo’s studio her relationship with Charlie appears to be going well. Coming up with an idea that could enable her to earn a living she dares to believe her life could be improving.
Then after a heart to heart with Charlie and an incident involving Kevin, Regan fears her new found optimism was misplaced.
The characters really grew in this second book. I found myself totally absorbed in the story and the ending had me shouting in shock!

4 Star⭐⭐⭐⭐

“You’re not that irresistible, Charlie McGee”!!

I had to come back for more after getting drawn in by part one of this four part series!

Part two had me smiling and laughing out loud all over again!
It also pulled on my heartstrings quite a bit and I truly become deeply invested with all of the characters.

It takes us on the journey of Regan getting her life back in order. The building of her relationship with Charlie, the possibility of a new business venture, her trying to help out her dad, her continued caring for homeless man Kevin and his dog Elvis and a cliffhanger of an ending!

Will part three have us in tears of devastation or joy?

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

oh YES YES YES YES for this second book of the "Meet me at Pebble Beach" series! It is so so so so GOOD! Even better than the first part! It's such a page-turner! You can't stop reading, you need to know what will happen! There is so much going on, you never get bored, it's so well written, I love this so much!!! And again, just like the first part, the second part finishes on a cliffhanger, it's too much for my heart! I need the 3rd part! I need it so badly! I so want to know what will happen next! Bella Osborne, I already knew you were good from your previous book, but now I think you are a genius! I give this second book of the series a 5 stars out of 5! It was the perfect read!!!!

Oh I love Bella Osborne, her books never fail to make me smile.
I have devoured this book in just one sitting it has been a great escape and left me smiling. I cannot wait to read more. Highly deserving of five stars.
