Who is Lily Seabrooke?

Bayview is a place before it is a series, and romance listeners know what a town named for its bay tends to promise: an overlapping cast, a harbour, and a supply of second chances handed out over successive instalments. If It’s Meant to Be belongs to The Bayview Romances, and Lily Seabrooke arrives in our catalogue through that world.

The recording sits on the LGBTQ+ shelf, and the title carries its theme without ceremony. A question about fate, phrased the way people phrase it when they are trying to talk themselves out of hoping. Eight hours is the classic length for this sort of romance, long enough for a relationship to be earned and short enough to be finished across a couple of long evenings.

Ellie Gossage reads, and in a series built around one recurring setting a steady narrator does quiet structural work: the town has to sound like itself from instalment to instalment or the whole premise loosens.

This is the best supported entry we hold from the sequence, with several hundred listener verdicts settling at four and a half stars. That is a strong showing for small-press romance, where the audience is devoted but rarely enormous, and it makes this a sensible way into Bayview for anyone starting cold. The listings below will point you towards the town.
