Ex on the Beach: A BRAND NEW sunkissed beach read romantic comedy from Phoebe MacLeod for 2026

Escape to the sunshine with this BRAND NEW feel-good romantic comedy from Phoebe MacLeod 🏖️☀️🍹 Perfect for fans of Sarah Adams, Emily Henry and Tessa Bailey! She heads to Jamaica for rest and relaxation and ends up starring in her own tropical rom-com, featuring an ex she can’t escape, and sparks that refuse to stay on holiday 🌴💘

Tori needs a holiday. London is cold and grey, work is manic, and after a regrettable New Year’s Eve hookup with her ex, her best friends won’t stop pushing her onto dating apps. So when a colleague offers Tori the last spot on a Jamaican getaway, she doesn't take much persuasion.

But paradise comes with a twist. Not only is she forced to share a room with grumpy, recently dumped Robert, but her ex has turned up too, hand-in-hand with his new girlfriend. Ten days in the sun suddenly looks like ten days of torture.

Still, Tori is determined to make the most of her situation. And who knows, with sun-kissed beaches, poolside views, and a charming hotel piano player, this trip might just turn into the escape she didn’t know she needed…

Praise for Phoebe MacLeod:

‘The perfect book.’ Goodreads review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

‘MacLeod weaves a tale of unexpected love, second chances, and the magic of warm summer days.’ Goodreads review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

‘Phoebe Macleod writes easy to ready, sweet but not shallow books. She has a lovely writing style and she’s the sort of author that I feel safe with, that I know I’m probably going to love pretty much anything she writes - one of the finish-a-book-and-buy-one-straight-after-on-kindle kinda vibes!‘ Goodreads review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

‘I love when a book can make me LOL in real life the whole time. This was such a fun rom-com and a safe one for people who like books without all the spice.’ Goodreads review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

‘This is a delightfully sweet and charming romantic comedy with a grumpy/sunshine trope (one of my favorites!)’ Goodreads review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

‘It's a very light, feelgood read and certainly put a smile on my face.’ Goodreads review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

‘A cute rom-com that focuses on friendship and different types of relationships, not just romance. I loved it, the characters are messy and complex as in real life.’ Goodreads review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
