Pack your bags …

Hello! Happy New Year to you all.

Christmas came and went for another year. The tree went up, the tree came down. I had about ten days off, and they were slow and languid, but then January arrived and now we are less than two weeks from the release of The Last Resort.

Early Reviews:

We have had some gorgeous reviews, which you can go check out on my Instagram page. A huge thank you to everyone who read and reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy.

Here’s what they are saying:

This was a fab read. A mature rom com with characters that felt so real, this feels smart and grown up. I flew through this book in a couple of sittings, determined to see if our loveable Abbey and Nick end up together. If you enjoy a second chance romance with believable characters and plot lines then you will love this debut. PS I adored Gran Iris, she is probably one of my favourite characters of 2025.’

‘Holiday chemistry, champagne, and the Maldives had me wanting to jump on the next flight out the second I opened this. Abbey and Nick’s sparks fly perfectly, but the real fun comes with the internal struggles of Holiday Nick colliding with Boss Nick back in Sydney. High five for my home city getting a moment in the spotlight! I also loved watching Abbey stay entirely herself. EA Abbey, Holiday Abbey, always true to who she is while also growing and finding her confidence post-divorce. The chemistry and banter kept me grinning the whole way through. Five stars from me.’

A sneak peak ….

I promised to spill the tea and here it is.

The Last Resort audiobook will be narrated by the lovely and warm Elizabeth Nabben who’ll read the part of Abbey Parker. The role of Nick Northby will be read by the incredibly talented and suave Tom Alexander. One day, I’ll do a whole post about my levels of excitement over my audiobook! A massive thanks to Chiara at Wavesound and the lovely Cherie at Echo for working with me on this.

The Last Resort is available in store on February 3rd 2026, in Australia and New Zealand. It is available in e-book on the same day worldwide. The audiobook will also be available worldwide and is set to be released on February 26th. Well worth the wait, trust me.

And here it is. A sneak peak- Chapter One of The Last Resort, just for you.
