Loved the whole beach house hotel series
When Annie and Rhonda found out that their beloved hotel was going to be a possible grab back for them, they wanted to pounce! All it was going to take was an ‘ok’ from their husbands and their attorneys ability to get it back. But some things were already standing in the way. They’d already had several complaints from their customers about the service, from employees who’d left or been fired because of the lack of ability to run the hotel properly. Annie and Rhonda knew how to run the hotel perfectly, they knew it, their customers and employees knew it, even their husbands and families knew it.
But they only had a certain share of the hotel from when they’d sold it, that’s why they needed the help of their attorney. Annie and Rhonda were going to have to do a little bit of playing Dick Tracey of their own to get everything back from what had been destroyed at the precious hotel. They had been so caught up in their own lives and they’d heard what had happened, they hadn’t really seen it before. Not until now.
The Beach House was in ruins, the rooms at the hotel were all needing to be almost completely re-done. What a mess!! Had it not been for that rotten little-good for nothing-Bree, things would be way better! Annie just knew it was him that ruined her Beach House, not to mention canceled her daughter’s wedding plans, just because he could!!
In this cozy, feel good love story, I found myself wanting more of it. I don’t usually read these kind of books, but I did, just for a change. I very much enjoyed it. Very well put together.
