You want a summer read set somewhere beautiful that actually delivers warmth and wit, not just pretty postcards.
You love romantic comedies where both characters have real depth and flaws beneath the banter.
You're a Julie Caplin fan or follow the Romantic Escapes series and know exactly what you're getting: reliable escapism with heart.

Maybe not for you if...

You don't enjoy series books and want something completely standalone without any recurring locations or characters.

About this book

Rebecca takes a temporary job at Quinta do Mar, a family-run hotel on Portugal's Algarve coast, seeking a fresh start after an embarrassing romantic disappointment. She expects sun, sea, and solitude. Instead, she meets Felipe Rebelo, a charming and confident hotel staff member who masks deeper responsibilities beneath his carefree demeanor. As Rebecca and Felipe interact, he finds himself drawn to someone who challenges him, makes him laugh, and is difficult to resist—the last complication he needs. This summer romance explores themes of self-discovery, choosing happiness, and the nature of love as recognition rather than obligation. The Hotel by the Sea is the thirteenth book in the Romantic Escapes series.
