Secrets at the Last House Before the Sea

Heaven's Cove, Book 1

By: Liz Eeles

Narrated by: Francesca Waite

From the attic of Driftwood House, there are stunning views of the deep green sea and sapphire sky. But Rosie can’t tear her eyes away from the faded photograph in her hands, and the words written on the back that will change everything....

Back in the tiny seaside village of Heaven’s Cove after the death of her mother, all Rosie Merchant wants is to hide her tears, rent out her childhood home and get back to her ‘real’ life, away from the gossiping villagers and wild Devon weather she escaped from years ago.

She’s surprised to find a smiling man in hiking boots – local farmer Liam – waiting on the stone doorstep. His kind offer to help clear crumbling, isolated Driftwood House is hard to refuse, and despite Rosie’s determination not to let anyone get close, soon they’re walking and laughing together along the clifftops. As clouds scud across the endless sky and green waves crash against the shore, Rosie is reminded that nowhere is more beautiful than home.

Then, up in the attic of Driftwood House, Rosie stumbles across a photo which exposes the heart-stopping truth about how her mother came to live at Driftwood House years ago...and Liam only seems concerned about the implications for his own nearby farm. Did he know this painful secret all along, and should she run from Heaven’s Cove for good? Or will facing up to her devastating family history mean Rosie can finally put down roots in this beautiful place?

Get whisked away to the rugged, sweeping Devon coastline in this gripping story about old secrets, learning how to trust and finding where home is. Fans of Debbie Macomber, Barbara O’Neal and Mary Alice Monroe will adore this gorgeous and uplifting listen.

Great listen

I loved the fact the reader was either English or Irish. It made the pronunciation much clearer. The story was riveting and flowed easily.

Pleasantly surprised!

It was a sweet story from beginning to end. A perfect summer read. Light and sweet

Good story

Good story with some twists: the story line was somewhat predictable but it was still entertaining. I like the sweetness of the main character

Secrets, romance and coastal beauty!

Rosie returns to her childhood home after her mother unexpectedly dies. I love architecture and decorating so the stories of her home and it’s future really interested me.
The growing friendship and romance with the neighboring farmer kept me coming back.
The whole storyline was so interesting and made me listen to this for hours at a time!

Enjoyed Secrets at the Last House Before the Sea

The story started off a little slow, but it became very enjoyable with a surprising ending. I'm looking forward to listening to the 2nd book in the series.

Very nice

The narrator is good, though there were a few stumbles and self corrections, and the story kept my interest. It is a mystery of identity and circumstances, and I liked it. My only complaint is that I didn't feel a whole lot of empathy for the characters, but I was invested in the outcome.

Lovely story

Enjoyed this story especially the narrator who did a beautiful job. The story of Rosie held my interest the entire reading Highly recommend!!!

Truly a sweet story

I really enjoyed listening to this book, only docked a bit because it is a little predictable.

Really enjoyed listening

Heartwarming story and excellent narration. I anticipated how it was going to end, which did not deter my enjoyment. Definitely not suspenseful, if that is what you are looking for. The author well defined the characters and beautifully described the scenes.

Feel good

A feel-good story with a bit of mystery. Well written vivid characters some you will root for and others you love to hate.
