An ex-husband, two potential lovers, one reckless decision. Will Connie ever be happy in love?
When Connie Stone leaves behind a cheating husband and heartache in the UK for her aunt’s beach retreat, the last thing she wants is for her life to once again be complicated by men.
Yet when her past follows her to Tanzania, her time to heal is short-lived and a selfish act shatters her hopes for a fresh start. An unexpected return to the UK reveals a long-hidden family secret that Connie has to deal with before she can decide the direction her life should take.
Getting over a broken heart was never going to be easy. Can Connie put the past to rest and find peace and love in a country far from home?
Review:
Atmospheric, tender, and hopeful!
The Baobab Beach Retreat is a warm, sweet, emotive tale set in the beautiful country of Tanzania that takes us into the life of the heartbroken, embittered Connie as she flees to her Aunt’s resort to rejuvenate after a painful divorce, recuperate from years of infertility, embark on a new career, and perhaps even fall in love once again.
The writing is heartfelt and evocative. The characters are complex, supportive, and genuine. And the plot is an engaging, uplifting tale full of family, friendship, tender moments, dramatic events, self-discovery, and a little adventure.
Overall, The Baobab Beach Retreat is a charming, engaging, escapist read by Frost that reminds us that life is for living to the fullest, and there’s no better place for taking chances and finding happiness than where the animals roam freely, the water is warm, the sand is hot, and the sun is shining brightly.
