Please join me in welcoming Elizabeth Holland to Novel Kicks and the blog tour for her book, The Little Campsite by the Sea.
Beth never planned to return to Llancariad—or to see Rhys again.
Beth Alden hasn’t been home in years. The small seaside village of Llancariad holds too many painful memories, but when her mother suffers a fall, she has no choice but to go home.
As Beth settles back into life in North Wales, she’s forced to confront how much time has passed and how much her mother needs her. While trying to save the family’s struggling campsite, Beth’s past catches up with her, stirring her anxiety and reminding her why she left.
Then Rhys Howell, her childhood best friend and first kiss, offers to help.
Rhys has never forgotten Beth or the kiss that changed everything. As they work together to revive the campsite, their friendship reignites, along with feelings he’s spent years trying to ignore. But while Rhys can imagine their future together, Beth is adamant she must go back to her life in the city.
Can Beth find the courage to stay, or will she run back to London, breaking both their hearts?
Elizabeth has shared an extract with us. We hope you enjoy.

The Little Campsite by the Sea is a friends-to-lovers cosy romance set in North Wales. Beth and Rhys were childhood friends until something came between them. Before they could rekindle their relationship, Beth left for London. Now, a decade later, she’s home, and she’s not particularly happy to see Rhys again…
As he opened the gate, Rhys’s heart rate picked up. He could hear the thrumming in his ears, and his feet froze in place. Straight ahead, parked at the front of the house, was a car he hadn’t seen in a long time. He had many happy memories of being picked up in that car and driven back to the campsite. Although they weren’t talking at the time, Rhys had heard that on her seventeenth birthday, Evan had gifted his daughter the car. The woman he’d seen last night with her smile—had it really been Beth?
“There you are,” Carys called from the bench on the terrace. “I hope we’ve not put you out this evening.”
