About this ebook

One favor deserves another, or does it?

Against their better judgment, Ann and Rhonda agree to help a young girl in distress at the request of the vice-president of the United States, Amelia Swanson. After almost losing their lives because of an earlier request of hers, they plan on being more careful.

Amanda Rogers was an intern for Senator Worthington’s office when she was drugged at a staff party and got pregnant. Now, alone without parental support, she and her friend, Jax Thomas, arrive at the hotel to wait out the last weeks of pregnancy in privacy. Senator Worthington and his wife want to adopt Mandy’s baby girl, but she’s made no promises. Jax would like to marry Mandy and raise the baby with her, but Mandy’s parents have made it clear that Jax deserves better than someone like her, and Mandy’s torn.

After vowing not to interfere, Ann and Rhonda find it more and more difficult to stay neutral. But they have other things on their minds. Aubrey Lowell, who almost ruined The Beach House Hotel managing it, their old nemesis, Brock Goodwin, and a couple of others have opened a nearby hotel called The Sand Castle, a playground for the hip, and have every intention of destroying The Beach House Hotel, no matter what it takes.

There is much to celebrate as happy news from both families and the hotel is shared by all. As Ann and Rhonda agree, life can sometimes be as sweet as one of Jean-Luc’s desserts at The Beach House Hotel.

            

Ratings and reviews

This was a great read and I really liked Ann and Rhonda's friendship and how they balance each other out and they need it as they have new friends to make with their latest guest and her friend she brings as well as things going on in their own lives and someone also trying to hurt their hotel. You get a great story to be immersed in as well as great characters to connect with and the need to turn the page to see how things will pan out for everyone. I haven't read the other books in this series but found I could still follow along things that had previous happened however did make me want to go back and read the others! :)

I love being back at The Beach House Hotel - and for dessert! It is great to catch up with Ann and Rhonda as they fight Brock's and Aubrey's determination to bury The Beach House Hotel - again, do a favor for the vice president - again, and become grandmothers. Ann and Rhonda have such class and are so willing to help as they get caught up in the guests lives. I love these well written books from Judith Keim and wish the series could go on forever. so forget your chores, pack your bags and let's spend the day at The Beach House Hotel!

This is a beautifully written heartwarming story that you don't want to miss. This is the perfect beach read, it hooks you on the first page and doesn't let go. Loved it!!. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

About the author

Judith Keim enjoyed her childhood and young-adult years in Elmira, New York, and now makes her home in Boise, Idaho, with her husband and their two dachshunds, Winston and Wally, and other members of her family. 

While growing up, she was drawn to the idea of writing stories from a young age. Books were always present, being read, ready to go back to the library, or about to be discovered. All in her family shared information from the books in general conversation, giving them a wealth of knowledge and vivid imaginations.

A hybrid author who both has a publisher and self-publishes, Ms. Keim writes heart-warming novels about women who face unexpected challenges, meet them with strength, and find love and happiness along the way. Her best-selling books are based, in part, on many of the places she's lived or visited, and on the interesting people she's met, creating believable characters and realistic settings her many loyal readers love. Ms. Keim loves to hear from her readers and appreciates their enthusiasm for her stories.
