The Beach Escape by Rachel Magee ⭐⭐⭐

A cute cozy love story but ending left you hanging with lots of unanswered questions. I was very disappointed. Maybe Rachel will finish with a second book, I will keep a look out for it.

I received an advanced copy of this book for my honest review.

This was not great. I had really hoped for some light, breezy summer reads here but it was so cheesy and the writing was just pretty subpar, unfortunately.

The Beach Escape by Rachel Magee

Molly Lawrence moved to Emerald Cove, Florida after her fiancé dumped her. She has a short-term Vet assignment, which includes a turtle rescue hospital.

I enjoyed this cosy romance novel. All the details about the turtles rescued was very informative. Great characters, well-written. I recommend this book.

Thanks to Net Galley for sending me an advanced reader’s copy for my review.

Hallmark Publishing and Netgalley thank you so much. I needed an escape from this cold. I want to be in Florida and learn about tourtles so much now. I love the personalities so much as well

The Beach Escape is the perfect escape read! Whether your toes are buried in the sand or you're cozied up near the fire dreaming of warmer days. Readers can easily relate to Molly's heartbreak and desperation and appreciate the friend she finds in Grant. Not only will you fall in love with their budding romance, but I also found myself wanting to know more about sea turtles. A fantastic book by Rachel Magee!

What a great romance book! This was a great read in the middle of winter and getting all the Florida vibes from the book. I definitely felt warmer and happier. This is a sweet and light read. I flew through this book like other Hallmark books. I have read most of them and they never disappoint. I will highly recommend this sweet beach read.

Thank you NetGalley and Hallmark Publishing for allowing me to read the arc.

I liked this book, but found myself getting a little distracted. A bit slow to start and during several other parts of the book. Still, a fun, easy read.

This was a wonderfully fun beach read! My only wish is that I was actually sitting on the beach while reading.

I really enjoyed getting to know Molly and Grant and watching there relationship grow. Loved how well they fit together and how sweet there relationship was. I loved the sea turtle aspect of the book and it was a different twist on the veterinarian book aspect!

This is a light fun read that was very easy to read and if you enjoy Hallmark movies then this is the book for you.

I received a copy of this book in return for an honest review. Thank you NetGalley, Hallmark publishing and Rachel Magee

Beach adventures.
New beginnings.
And turtles.

Molly Lawrence could use an escape. After all, her fiancé dumped her at her rehearsal dinner for her best friend. Fortunately, she has a short-term veterinarian assignment in Emerald Cove, Florida. A friendly workplace, beaches, and summer—what could be better?

Grant Torres shows up with a patient she wasn’t expecting: a giant loggerhead sea turtle. Soon Molly is immersed with helping Grant at the turtle hospital he manages, and work leads to snorkeling, sunset sails, a wedding date—and unexpected feelings. But even as they help injured turtles return to the sea, Molly and Grant both plan to leave soon on new adventures of their own. Can Molly heal her own heart? And could love turn out to be the ultimate destination?

Grant and Molly were so cute together! This was such a sweet summer read, set within a small beachside community where the locals are friendly and look out for one another. A light, fun read. Such a great way to spend an afternoon.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and will be purchasing a paperback copy for my shelf.

Thank you to @netgalley for a copy of this book in return for my honest review.

The Beach Escape is a sweet, enjoyable romance, the perfect summer read to just sit back and enjoy. Molly Lawrence was recently dumped by her fiancé at her rehearsal dinner for her best friend. She is a traveling who has a position in a beautiful beach town of Emerald Cove, Florida where she’ll fill in for the local vet who’s on maternity leave. Shortly after arriving she meets an unexpected patient, a giant loggerhead sea turtle as well as Grant Torres, director of the local Turtle Rescue and Rehab Center. She knows very little about the turtles or the rescue center, but throws herself into the work becoming the vet for the center. Not only do the turtles steal her heart, but she begins to develop feelings for Grant and he for her. The problem is that Grant is planning to leave town to work his dream job, and Molly is still healing and not planning to love again.

Traveling to Florida each year, I love turtles, but don't know a lot about loggerhead turtles. I enjoyed that aspect of the story and how the rescue center brings Molly and Grant together. The characters all wonderful in this story and Grant and Molly just fit together so well. Their developing relationship brought the setting to life with their work as well as their time together on the sailboat and learning about the area. This was an enjoyable book to read and I recommend it to those who enjoy a lovely, contemporary romance.

Firstly, I’d like to thank NetGalley and the publisher for giving me a free e-arc of The Beach Escape.

Molly Lawerence needs to find a way out. After all, she was abandoned by her fiancé at the best friend's wedding rehearsal dinner. She luckily has a temporary veterinary job in Emerald Cove, Florida. What could be better than a welcoming workplace, summertime, and beaches? She is surprised when Grant Torres brings her a patient she wasn't expecting: a massive loggerhead sea turtle. Soon Molly is involved with aiding Grant at the turtle hospital he maintains, and work leads to snorkeling, sunset cruises, a wedding date—and surprising feelings. However, Molly and Grant both have plans to go shortly on their own new adventures while still assisting injured turtles to return to the sea.

This book is such a good beach read. Just imagine romanticizing the beach as you read the warmest romance. Picture Lorde songs as a book— this would be the outcome. I'm sure Lana del Rey girlies would enjoy this if it were a movie.

However, if you’ve known me for a while, I’m not a great lover of clichés. I prefer learning new information; I don't like reading repetitious material. You'll probably be able to predict how the story ends because this book is so formulaic in so many ways, and being able to predict a story can make me lose interest in it.

Another story at the beach
Rachel Magee's romance novel "Beach Wedding Weekend" was published by Hallmark Publishing.
Molly Lawrence had other plans but now she is transitioning to a career as a traveling vet. Instead of being married, she is starting this assignment in the panhandle beach town of Emerald Cove, Florida, replacing Dr. Lacey who gave birth to a baby girl. Molly learns from Grant Torres, the director of the Emerald Cove Turtle Rescue and Rehabilitation Center that she has to do house calls when the patients cannot or do not want to come to the Gulfview Animal Clinic in spite of the fact that it is not included in her contract. Her contacts with Grant are multiple. Most importantly her time in Emerald Cove is putting her heart together that was shattered when her fiancé dumped her at the rehearsal dinner. Additionally she has good friends and a job she loves. But what will she do with in regard to her depending relationship with Grant knowing that her assignment in Emerald Cove is limited to three months? Will there be a future in spite of this?
This is the second book by Rachel Magee which I read. I highly recommend it since it I easy to read. It is a clean and wholesome romance story with enjoyable and believable characters. The book also includes a special Hallmark recipe: Tequila Lime Grilled Shrimp.
The complimentary copy of this book was provided by the publisher through NetGalley free of charge. I was under no obligation to offer a positive review. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
