Book 11: The Holiday House (Five Island Cove)
Revisit Five Island Cove at Christmastime! Join the women in the cove as they come together for an unforgettable holiday getaway, and new ideals to what it means to be a mother, daughter, sister, aunt, and friend.
As Christmas approaches, the close-knit group of friends—Robin, Alice, AJ, Kelli, and Eloise—decide to take a break from their usual routines and rent a luxurious, sprawling house on Rocky Ridge. With breathtaking views and all the comforts they could wish for, it’s the perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle of their everyday lives.
Amidst the twinkling lights and holiday cheer, there’s plenty of time for making cherished memories and embracing old traditions. But not everything goes as smoothly as planned. While the house becomes a hub of laughter and celebration, the close quarters also reveal underlying tensions and the tiny fissures in their friend group begin to surface, threatening to overshadow the holiday spirit.
Romances are blooming, with Mandie and Charlie preparing to take the next step in their young relationship, Julia and Liam deepening their connection, and Tessa and Dave navigating the early stages of their relationship. But when a small yet significant hiccup arises, it tests their bonds and forces them to confront their differences.
Will the magic of the season be enough to bring everyone closer together, or will it highlight the cracks that could pull them apart?
As they navigate the complexities of friendship, love, and family, they’ll discover that sometimes, the greatest gift of all is the strength to overcome challenges and come out stronger on the other side.
Join the women of Five Island Cove in The Holiday House, where the beauty of the season and the strength of their relationships shine through, proving that home is truly where the heart is.

This was a new series for me. I have not read anything else from this author and I know she has many other books in the series. I really enjoyed the story of the women in the Holiday House and wish for my own holiday house retreat! The women and storyline is all relatable and I loved their unique characters! Well worth the read and I will be reading the other novels in this series!
This is a wonderful addition to this series. I think people might get a little confused about some of the characters if they have not read the previous books, BUT it is a fantastic read, there is so much going on and you get all the feels, a pregnancy, young love, a little mystery, just a bit of everything and it is not predictable, well written. Just all around a GREAT read!!!
What an amazing group of friends! I love the depth of their relationships and that they've obviously evolved to include extended family. I enjoy that everything isn't always rainbows and hearts - they deal with real problems, sometimes petty and sometimes deep, but they work through them and come out stronger for it. Wonderful story!
Loved visiting Five Island Cove , a great women's novel full of fun and mystery.
A book of friendship, family and love.
I absolutely loved reading this story, so much emotion that felt real. A great women’s fiction story. I liked the mystery of what happened in the home so many years ago. I love the relationships between the women and their husbands, such strong bonds and friendships. Such a great addition to this series, I have loved them all and highly recommend this story.
