Lucie Peachtree is feeling all the Darling Island feels; picnics on the beach, long evenings watching the sun go down, and dipping into the waters of Darling Bay.

As she revels in life in the old coastguard’s house, it seems as if everything is going her way, from her romance, to her job, to her small, but busy, business.

We watch the love story from the sidelines and swoon in excitement as the biggest moment in Lucie’s life looms. But, just as she’s least expecting it, life decides it might just like to shake things up a little bit for Lucie. A curveball comes along slap bang into the middle of her world on Darling and leaves her more than a little bit confused as to what to do.

‘With the gorgeous Darling Island hazy blue, the old vintage trams, a plethora of divine Darling baskets, and the island showing off what it does best, gather supplies, get yourself cosy, delve into more of Polly B’s small-town world, and don’t come up for air. You’re going to utterly love it.’

‘I wasn't sure what to expect from this new story as Pretty Beach is very much In my blood, but I have to say that Polly you did it again. I love Lucie Peachtree. Can't wait for the next instalment.’ Fay, Amazon Review.

‘Polly’s writing is like being wrapped up in an emotional hug. There’s nothing better than getting cosy with a Babbington book.’ S Quinn.

Five-star reviews from romantic comedy readers on Polly Babbington's uplifting, escapism romance books.

Just as I was beginning to think Pretty Beach was the best and magical place to be along comes Darling Island Polly Babbington if I could give you 100 stars I would, not only has this been my BEST book yet but you have the ability to transport me to a fresh and amazing new place. Didn’t think anything could even come close to Pretty Beach but Darling Island has topped it.’ Agnes, Amazon Review.

‘I have read all of Polly's books and I have to say, Coastguard’s House may just be my favourite, although it is hard to choose. The books take us away to beautiful settings, quirky and loving characters. Can't wait for the next one!’ Jill, Amazon Review.

‘Just wish I could give a thousand stars (or more) thank you Polly B you've done it again.’ Elaine, Amazon Review.

‘This book offers all its readers a fairytale, that is realistic, believable and addictive. I just wanted to read on and on.’ Jason, Goodreads Review.

‘Another absolutely brilliant book. Hooked from the first page. If you like Debbie Macomber, you'll love this.' Reader Review.

‘Once again Polly has performed her magic. The minute you start reading you are transported to Darling Island getting to know the people who live there. Now desperate for the next instalment.’ Susan, Amazon Review.

‘I have read and loved all of Polly’s books, but wasn’t expecting to be so enthralled by Lucie and Darling. Polly creates characters that are both relatable and inspirational, and describes locations and interiors in such a way that you can almost touch and feel them. I cannot wait for the next instalment; Polly, you have such a talent!’ Eliza, Amazon Review.
