Light summer read
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.
Loved this book!
So-so
its easy and quick reading.
Predictable. Ok story.
This sounded like a fun premise however the book was boring and predictable. I kept hoping it would get better but it didn’t. I finally gave up and didn’t bother wasting any more time finishing it.
Loved it! Couldn’t put it down.
This book was not to my liking. The writing was disappointing.
It was alright, but seemed a bit disjointed. It didn’t flow as well as I like when I’m reading a story.
Very easy to read. Ended too soon. I really enjoyed it.
This was a fun romp — and I was pulling for the characters the whole way through.
Too much drama. Unbelievably.
It took everything I had to finish this book. Kept hoping I would enjoy it. I was bored plain and simple. Too much drama going on within the pages. I was looking for light and breezy. This was not it. Sorry.
Very entertaining – I read the series!
Strong ladies, enjoyed the premise of starting a hotel, nothing complicated good beach chick lit.
