Blog Tour for An Invitation to Seashell Bay by Bella Osborne

About The Book

An Invitation To Seashell Bay

One ambitious businesswoman.

One irresponsible heir. 

A deal that will turn both their lives upside down… 

To grow her craft business, Nancy is in desperate need of two things: help and money. So when a potential investor she’s looking to impress recommends an assistant, she jumps at the chance to secure both.

Freddy Astley-Davenport is a notorious playboy with zero work experience. He’s poised to inherit his family’s estate in sunny Seashell Bay – but only if he can hold down a job for six months first. His plan is to take the assistant role in name only, then do the least work he possibly can.

Nancy has other ideas, though, and the pair butt heads from day one. However, as they argue, sparks begin to fly, and they soon discover exactly why opposites attract…

An absolutely escapist, funny, feel-good summer romance. Fans of Cathy Bramley, Katie Fforde and Milly Johnson will adore Bella Osborne.

My Thoughts

Bella Osborne books are such fun pick me ups.
This one is full of fun, laughter and taking what life throws at you while working through it with the help of friends and family.


I was impressed with the character development. Once we learn of the characters back story, we have a better understanding of their surprising past, and they turn out to be a pretty decent person after all. Life isn’t all roses, and we see that here, but I love the positive vibes and encouragement we see for the characters here from friends and parents.


I have read other books by the author so I know I will enjoy the banter, lightheartedness and encouragement in all her books.
Looking forward to more reads by this author.

Pub Date: 20 Jul 2023
I was given a complimentary copy of this book.

An Invitation to Seashell Bay: Part 2: A heartwarming and feel-good romcom that will make you smile this summer- by Bella Osborne

Publish date May 24,2023 Publisher Avon

About The Book

Time is running out for Nancy to save her future…

Nancy needs to secure investment for her craft business – and fast. When an opportunity comes up that’s too good to miss, she prepares for the biggest pitch of her life.

But when a clumsy accident leaves Nancy injured and unable to give the all-important presentation, she needs someone to step up to the plate to help her. With most of her team away, there’s only one person Nancy can turn to – her useless new assistant, Freddy, who Nancy is convinced doesn’t care about either her or the business.

Forced to ask Freddy for help, Nancy is terrified about leaving the fate of her business in his unreliable hands. But she has no other choice – the show must go on.

Will Freddy be able to step up to the plate when Nancy needs him?

Or will her suspicions about him be proven right after all?

My Thoughts

Part two of this four-part series is just as hilarious as the first one. Picking up exactly where we left off at the end of part one, Nancy has a broken wrist after a clumsy fall out of the dressing room while taking the curtain with her. An all-important presentation has Nancy worrying after her staff all comes down sick at the same time. With her unable to do the job correctly because of injury she must rely on new-hire Freddy and that may be trouble because they don’t get on well. Nancy has to leave the running of her business to seemingly uncaring Freddy. Will this be her downfall?
I am totally loving these serialized installments. The descriptions had me laughing out loud as I read and my family looking at me like I was crazy. This is the sunshiny happy read you need. The perfect quick relaxation read.

An Invitation to Seashell Bay: Part 1: A heartwarming and feel-good romcom that will make you smile this summer by Bella Osborne.

May 10, 2023 publish date Avon publisher

About The Book

The brand-new summery rom com from Bella Osborne, full of laughter, love and life’s twists and turns!

This is the first part of a new feel-good romantic comedy, published as a four-part serialised novel.

*****************************************************

One ambitious businesswoman.

One irresponsible heir.

A deal that will turn both their lives upside down…

To save her business, All Things Crafty, Nancy is in desperate need of two things: help and money. After a pitch goes horribly wrong, Nancy is convinced she’s failed to secure either. But, when a potential investor recommends an assistant, she jumps at the chance to hire them – hoping it will help her land a much-needed deal. 

Enter Freddy Astley-Davenport, a notorious socialite with zero work experience. He’s poised to inherit his family’s estate in sunny Seashell Bay, but only if he can hold down a job for six months first. Nancy is not impressed. Freddy’s late, rude and totally incompetent – and that’s just the first day!

Nancy is further horrified to learn of Freddy’s plan to take the assistant role in name only, then do the least work he possibly can, expecting Nancy to lie to his parents on his behalf. She has other ideas, though, and the pair butt heads from day one.

However, as they argue, sparks begin to fly…

An absolutely escapist, funny, feel-good summer romance. Fans of Cathy Bramley, Katie Fforde and Milly Johnson will adore Bella Osborne.

My Thoughts

One thing you can count on with Bella Osborne books is that they are FABULOUS! Once I started this one that was it, I simply couldn't put it down. Read it all in one sitting. There is lots going on in this novella length book which is fabulous as it sets us up for lots of books to come in this series. Several times it had me laughing out loud as I imagined the going-ons. The perfect escapist read I can't wait to be back in Seashell Bay again shortly. I LOVE these characters!
