Talking To The Turtles
On the normally tranquil Derwentwater in England’s beautiful Lake District, there’s more than just a ripple when lonely divorcee Louisa, lover of all things aquatic and dedicated manager of the aquarium-on-the-lake, falls for gorgeous Aussie cruise boat skipper Alec when he literally comes crashing into her life.
Sadly for Louisa it’s not all plain sailing. Her failed marriage has left her with hangups, and he has a history that follows him around: when his jealous ex arrives on the scene and takes over the lakeside hotel, a situation arises that is so poisonous as to threaten not only Louisa’s new-found love but her very life by the lake as she knows it.
Is he really worth the heartbreak?
Against a background of exciting boat rides, colourful marine creatures and a swanky hotel, Talking to the Turtles is a roller coaster journey through falling in love, jeopardy, heartache and choosing the right path for happiness

A stirring story of young love, teenage growing pains, and tough choices

Can she survive the summer and beyond, or will she end it with a broken heart?
Reviews
TALKING TO THE TURTLES
“I was taken beautifully along with this story – engrossed from beginning to a satisfying end. I have no hesitation to recommend it as a modern day romance, with more than a few surprises.”
“Great characters, well-drawn. Sorry to get to the last page. This is a first novel from Tracey-Ann Beckett and I hope there will be more.”
“Wonderful escapism during my daily commute. Disappointed when I finished it as was enjoying it so much! Looking forward to the next one by T-A B”
AFTER DARK IN GREENWICH PARK
“This book had me completely hooked from the very beginning with its perfect blend of psychological thriller and romance. The character development in this story is absolutely stellar.”
“The drama in the book really had me hooked, I was rooting for Trudie the whole way, yet her mistakes were completely understandable and had me feeling a lot of compassion for her and her toxic relationship that I think many people have experienced. The end of the book had me on the edge of my seat, I audibly gasped and squealed, the action was great and I love how Tracey wrapped it up.”
“This second novel from Tracey-Ann Beckett is another terrific read…. keeps you there right to the end. I loved it!”
MIST OVER MEADOWLAND
“I loved this book. I was totally immersed into Nina’s life from the start. I related to her feelings and emotions. She had so much going on when her knight appears – Luke. Slow burn then wow! Heartbroken when they are torn apart then twists I didn’t foresee. Can’t wait to see what the next book has in store.”
“Tracey-Ann Beckett’s books just get better and better. Mist Over Meadowland has heartache and romance but also a cast of characters that will stay with you. If you enjoy deep, emotional fiction with humour and tenderness then look no further.”
