The blurb:
Wriggle your toes in the sand and feel the warm
breeze on your face when you check into the hotel that’s full of dreams…
Three years after ditching her career in New
York City, Rosie never thought she’d still be managing the quaint faded
Victorian hotel in her seaside hometown.
What’s worse, the hotel’s new owners are turning
it into a copy of their Florida properties. Flamingos and all. Cultures are
clashing and the hotel’s residents stand in the way of the developers’ plans.
The hotel is both their home and their family.
That’s going to make Rory’s job difficult when
he arrives to enforce the changes. And Rosie isn’t exactly on his side, even
though it’s the chance to finally restart her career. Rory might be charming,
but he’s still there to evict her friends.
How can she follow her dreams if it means ending
everyone else’s?
THIS IS A STANDALONE NOVEL FROM THE AUTHOR OF
THE CARLTON SQUARE SERIES, WITH A WHOLE NEW CAST OF CHARACTERS TO FALL IN LOVE
WITH!
My Opinion:
*Book provided by the author in exchange for an honest
review*
The beautiful cover and the blurb and the fact that we
get another Lilly Bartlett book, got me all excited. I loved her previous books
and couldn’t wait to dive into this one.
In this story we get to follow lovely Rosie, who works
in hotels. She is back in her home town now. She used to work in New York and
had plans to go to Paris with her friend Digby. However, a guy called Chuck
comes along and she falls in love with him.
That was years ago now, but it’s still part of her
story.
In Scarborough she works at an old seaside hotel and it’s
time for some changes at the hotel, at least according to transition manager
Rory. Not everybody is happy about this... And then there is Rory... let’s say
the have some „moments.“
The story switches
between her time in Scarborough now and her past in New York. This gives us
readers a great insight to Rosie’s life and feelings. Every time she shares a
moment with Rory, she thinks of what happened with Chuck, which doesn’t make
the whole situation easier.
The characters in this
book are wonderful and well lined out. I really enjoyed following them around.
I really liked the seaside/Florida vibe oft he hotel and Bartlett’s writing
just adds so many sparks to the story. It’s vivid, bubbly, fresh and full of
heart and passion!
