My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Managing the Value Lodge in her hometown was not what Anna Gordon had in mind when she set out in the hospitality industry. But it's a safe choice for a woman whose childhood was anything but stable. Out of the blue, she gets a once-in-a-lifetime chance to reinvent herself by moving to New York City, where she hopes for a management position at a stylish new boutique hotel. The big city is full of surprises--not the least of which is Sean O'Neil. Her childhood crush has applied for the very same position!
I enjoyed this quick, easy summertime read from Melody Carlson. The romance was sweet although a little downplayed due to the fact that Anna is fearful of losing her job if she lets herself fall for Sean. I liked the immediate connection Sean and Anna feel after not having seen each other for years. However, after spending an amazing day together, they have to pull way back on any ongoing relationship when they find out they are working for the same hotel. This causes Anna to agonize way too much about her feelings for Sean.
As with the other book in this series, I enjoyed the description of the city and their working environment and how they both were helping renovate and get this new venture up and running. It was fun to read about Anna getting away from her dead end job to such a glamorous change. :)
There's very little to recommend this as a Christian romance. No mention of any kind of regular church attendance and maybe a few mentions of prayer. It's pretty much just a clean romance.
