When Ann Rutherford's husband dumps her for the bimbo in his office, unfairly leaving her without a home or a job, she reluctantly joins forces with Rhonda DelMonte to convert Rhonda's Florida seaside estate into the small upscale hotel it once was. Ann, quiet and reserved, is no match for brash, bossy Rhonda, who left the family's New Jersey butcher business after she won the Florida lottery. Amid their struggles to succeed, "The Sins of the Children", a soap opera, films a number of episodes at the hotel and things get complicated in unexpected ways when Ann falls for Vaughn Sanders, the star of the show.

Annie Rutherford 's husband Robert wanted to end their marriage. He got involved with a much younger woman from work . Her name was Kandie which she said she spelled with a "K". She was pregnant and didn't want anything that had been Annie's and Roberts. Annie and Robert owned a consulting business and Annie had helped Robert over the years. But once divorced Robert was suppose to buy Annie's shares and pay her over time. Annie and her daughter named Liz took a trip to Florida to meet and spend Thanksgiving with Liz's roommates mother. When Annie first met her she didn't like her boldness or some of her language. But Annie had to now find a job and somewhere to live. After Annie had gone back home Rhonda who she spent Thanksgiving with in Florida called her and told her she wanted to talk to her but not over the phone. Rhonda made a reservation for Annie to return to Florida. Rhonda had a big house which use to be a hotel. It was run down when Rhonda bought it and she turned into something beautiful. So Annie returned to Florida and Rhonda told her she wanted to turn the house back into a hotel and wanted Annie to be her partner. There was a guest house on the property she could buy and refurbished it the way she wanted. At first Annie said no but then thinking about it she said yes. She would take the money her ex-husband had to give her from the stocks and use it to refurbished the house and use some of the money for the hotel. Annie met a financial advisor and told him he be welcome to come to the hotel so he could advise her better. When he came Rhonda and he who's name was Will fell for each other. Will advised them and eventually Rhonda and Will fell in love. Their hotel became successful and a producer of a soap opera called and wanted to know if they could come and stay there and shoot some scenes for the show there. One of the actors who's name was Vaughn Sanders saw Annie and they liked each other. One day while swimming in her own pool a photographer jump out of the bushes and snapped a picture of her and the soap opera actor where he had come up behind her and grabbed her only to pull her bikini top off. She was very upset about this because she was a very private person and she was trying to build a reputation for the hotel. After that any employee hired or otherwise had to sign a confidentiality statement saying they would not disclose what went on at the hotel or bother a guest. They became well known among senators and other famous people. Eventually Rhonda and Will got married and Rhonda said Annie was next. Annie did fall in love with Vaughn but there were ups and downs in their relationship. One he was a movie star and Annie couldn't help believe in things she heard or read about Vaughn. They stopped seeing each other for awhile but Annie still thought of him often. Then months later he surprised her and they started seeing each other again. He told her he loved her and gave her a necklace with their initials and 5 diamonds. She was worried how it would work because his work was in New York and hers was in Florida and she didn't ever want to leave. In the end he got killed off the soap and he moved to be with her in Florida.

I actually enjoyed this novel. The characters are likeable. Definitely realistic when dealing with ex-husband. I am not sure I'd ever want to stay in a hotel like this, but the description was so good I could picture it.

SPOILERS!

I was drawn in by the concept of this book. I always loved the idea of opening my own inn and love the idea of two divorced women going into business together making a fresh start. I expected a story of two finding healing, reinventing themselves, and of course finding new love along the way. You sort of get that but in a rushed and poorly executed way. The journey of the two female leads is a frustrating one. Several times I wanted to reach into the book and shake these women. They weren't acting like grown women with some years under their belt, but teenagers.

The lead Ann is supposed to be smart business woman that made her ex-husbands business so successful, but somehow her ex can't follow a divorce settlement? The whole divorce process seemed unrealistic. I also realize starting a new business is financially stressful and their are lots of concerns. However, I felt like we had to hear about her financial concerns way too often. Its realistic to mention it, but not every chapter.

Even the scene were a guest died. I think it was to be humorous as it was an older man clearly at the hotel with a young mistress. It was neither funny nor sad, and not sure why pages were wasted on it. I would have rather had more time spent on the love stories.

The romance between Vaugh and Ann felt unrealistic and rushed. They had some lunches together, shared a moment, and then were in love. It felt to cheesy (and this from someone who enjoy's Hallmark movies). Almost like a teenager wrote it. I was hoping for a more meaningful connection between the two who both had pasts they were trying to get over. Writing they shared a deep and meaningful bond doesn't make it real, the characters needed more time to develop. That is the major issue with this book, not enough character development to get to the end result. Its a series why not take your time?

Then it seemed like things just happened for the sake of happening. I think the author was trying to make a point that things can happen running a hotel, and that is true but not in this way. Guest rushed to the hospital, someone from the past dying of cancer, and big storms. It was too much and felt like it was added just to try and ad some interest to the story but fell short.

So much I think was added to create emotion but didn't work because again the characters were not properly developed. The one chapter some of the staff were injured in a car accident. I think it was to be all sad that they were injured, but the impact fell short because I felt like I hardly knew them. Since this is a series, maybe something like that would have suited better in a later book.

Note sure I will read the other books. I read their synopsis and seems good enough for me to know what will happen. Again not a bad book with some good moments, but overall disappointing execution. Its hard to connect with the main characters.

Surprisingly good!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on June 16, 2019

I bought this as it was free and I liked the blurb and I'm so glad I did! Read in one lazy Sunday in bed whilst the rain lashed down outside and I was completely transported to the coast of Florida with palm trees and sunny skies! I don't know what it was but the author drew me in and I was completely hooked! I really felt for poor Annie, I was reminded of my bad break up and I completely felt her hopelessness at being dumped for a younger model! Her feelings of fear and loneliness resanated with me and I instantly wanted her to prove her ex wrong and the flash guy next door.

If your looking for a story which weaves together the trials of a middle aged woman who's daughter is back and forth from college and is wondering where her life is going now she has lost her house, her marriage and her plans for the future then give this a go! Well written and I'm buying book two now! Cannot wait to see what else happens at the Beach House hotel!

Tedious Tale

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on September 29, 2021

Verified Purchase

After ‘Breakfast’ I am at a loss to guess whatever can be left to write about in the remaining ‘Beach House Hotel’ books in the series including ‘Lunch’, ‘Dinner’ etc. through to ‘Dessert’. Storylines are based on two main protagonists who are very different ladies coming together via their similar teenage daughters to be partners running an upmarket hotel in Florida.

Each have their own baggage with ex-husband difficulties and hopes for romance which provides the base for dozens of sub-stories. Nothing is of substance and as expected from a ‘chic-lit’ there is love and happiness, plus there are conundrums, yet always a sense of relief as problems are resolved and futures look bright. All gets a bit tedious, but the book is light-hearted with a nice degree of humour. It’s ideal for holiday reading on the beach but ‘Breakfast at the Beach House Hotel’ is only average – hence 3-star rating.

I loved this book.it was written with feeling. The story was about a hotel being set up by two ladies who really need it to work for them as their livelihood.
These ladies struggle to prove to their community that their hotel will benefit the environment and be good for local economy.
The fight to prove the hotel and these ladies romantic attachments make a lovely story with a happy ending
I would recommend this book.

After her marriage failed Annie has the chance of a fresh start with the mother of her daughter's best friend. Together they convert Rhonda's house into a small exclusive hotel. Not all the neighbours are happy about it and with Annie's ex husband trying to wriggle out paying her what she is owed, will they be able to make it a success? For some reason I connected with the characters immediately and I enjoyed the book from beginning to end.

A Nice, light read, but TERRIBLY expensive

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on July 30, 2021

Verified Purchase

I enjoyed this. It was a nice, light read. Nothing serious or heavy, but pleasant. Sort of a beach read. I got this one free, and would have tried the second in the series, but when I went to get it, thinking it would be around 99p, or better yet free, like this one. (as 99p might be too much for a short, light-weight book like this) I couldn't believe it was more expensive that all the best-selling authors whose books I buy! There is not a chance I would pay so much for an unknown author - unless the book was really brilliant. This wasn't that good.
