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?

Praise for The Baobab Beach Retreat

"I enjoyed this book for all kinds of reasons and it's just as good as other romance novels I have read that grace the booksellers' tables." TripFiction.

"This book has everything good in women's fiction. It deals with serious issues, family drama, adventure and romance." Elizabeth, Chick Lit Chickadees.

"I love Kate Frost's voice, she is a wonderful storyteller... A wonderful read!" Tracey Rogers, author.

"This easily had all my favourite things in one handy book: exotic location of Tanzania; gorgeous scenery; sexy men (more than one of them); a character following her heart... I really loved every moment of this rather exotic book, and I can't wait to see where the series takes us next." Gilbster, Amazon Top 1000 Reviewer.

Product description

Review

“This book has everything good in women’s fiction. It deals with serious issues, family drama, adventure and romance.” Elizabeth, Chick Lit Chickadees.

“This is an intelligent, enjoyable and uplifting story told in steady, thoughtful detail, both regarding Connie’s inner struggle and the daily life in the luxury beach resort around her.” Debbie Young, author of Sophie Sayers Village Mysteries.

“This is a truly beautiful story, expertly crafted and written. There’s plenty of action and twists, especially when Connie discovers a dark, family secret. The romance is there in abundance and there’s plenty of ‘will they, won’t they’ moments to keep the reader guessing… An absolute must read.” AnnMarie Wyncoll, author of When Foundations Crumble.

“I would recommend this novel to anyone who enjoys a complex, compelling book that is a romance, but so much more – a tale about the frailty of human nature, how we can all make mistakes but learn from them as Connie does.” Elaine Jeremiah, author of Love Without Time.

“This book is perfect, read it, read the first one, and then pray that Kate comes out with the next one soon so we don’t have to wait too long for more.” Kerrie, Comfy Reading.

“I love Kate Frost’s voice, she is a wonderful storyteller… A lovely read!” Tracey Rogers, author.

Zoe (whatsbetterthanbooks)
4.0 out of 5 stars Atmospheric, tender, and hopeful!
Reviewed in Canada on July 12, 2019
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.

I really enjoyed this story. I felt like I was transported to each of these places. Everything was described beautifully. I like that the characters are real to life, trying to figure out their problems, like we do in real life.

An interesting read. At 25% in it appeared slow and pointless, however I persevered and a story slowly emerged. I was glad I finished it. It was full of twists and turns and I actually enjoyed it.

I like my novels to be light, easy to read and whisk me away. This met my criteria perfectly.

What a wonderful read. I felt as if I was at the beach resort with them. The characters come to life in this romance and what a twist when her mother passes away and her final words are such a mystery. Aunt Bella runs a successful beach resort in Tanzania and Connie doesn't want to leave
