"Reading The Suite Spot is like wearing bunny slippers and drinking cocoa in a blanket fort (with a really hot guy)--the ultimate comfort read to escape into when you need a break from the world." - Roni Loren, New York Times bestselling author of What If You & Me
We stand there on the brink of something we both feel but neither of us is ready to identify, and the little half grin he shoots me is nearly as devastating as his full-blown smile.
One of the few bright lights in Rachel Beck's life is her job at a Miami Beach luxury hotel-until she's fired for something she didn't do. As a single mom, Rachel knows she needs stability, and fast. On impulse, Rachel inquires about a position at a brewery hotel on a tiny island in Lake Erie called Kelleys Island. When she's offered the job, not even the grumpy voice on the line can dissuade her from packing up her whole life and making the move.
What she finds on Kelleys Island is Mason, a handsome, reclusive man who knows everything about brewing beer and nothing about running a hotel. Especially one that's barely more than foundation and studs. It's not the job Rachel was looking for, but Mason offers her a chance to help build a hotel-and rebuild her life-from the ground up.
Trish Doller's The Suite Spot is about taking a chance on a new life and a new love.
Short Fun Atypical Romance. This is one of those romance novels that is almost more women's fiction than romance. Yes, ultimately it satisfies every "romance book" check box I am aware of, even the most stringent ones... but it really does read as more of a women's fiction "find yourself" type tale. Hell, we don't even meet the male lead of the book until a fairly decent way into the overall text. Quite a few wokeisms tossed in as well, but those are more irritants than true detractions from the tale, and at least a couple of them are actually fleshed out into realistic characters. Overall a solid and fun tale, and *as a story*, very much recommended.
All of this noted, I would be doing readers a disservice to fail to note that after I picked up this book to review last fall, I became aware that the author had signed a petition in favor of banning books because she didn't like them. And this reader does not abide those who ban books, no matter the reason. So this author is now on my "never read again until she recants from book banning" list, though certainly you as a reader of this review and potential reader of this book are more than welcome to do with the information I've provided here both on the book and the author as you will, and I wish you well either way. :)
