Trish Doller is just amazing. I love all of her books, without exception. I especially love this one, with its Ohio references and hotel setting. It's a bit lighter in tone than Float Plan, and the spice is much less spicy, if that's something you're looking for.

This is another story about the Beck Sister series. These books can be read alone but you definitely miss out on the connections between the characters.

In book 1, Float Plan, Anna Beck turns the tragedy of losing her fiancé, Ben, into the adventure he had meticulously planned to Puerto Rico. Fortunately, she meets up with Keane Sullivan in a manner which seems clandestine. Ultimately, she hires him to help her maneuver the boat through the rough waters. Keane accepts the job as he was travelling to Puerto Rico for a job opportunity. During the trip, Anna and Keane learn more about each other including the challenges and pains from the past. The story explores love and loss, finding your place in life, and when to let go of the past. The boat trip provided healing as just like the sea, Anna encountered many unexpected situations in which she learned to be open and flexible allowing her to discover her authentic self.

In The Suite Spot, Rachel Beck, is a single mother still living with her mother since Anna has been living on a boat with Keane in the Caribbean. The father of her 4 year-old, Maisie, is not responsible or reliable parent. Rachel enjoys her night job in a concierge reception desk at a Miami Beach hotel, Aquamarine. After working there for 9 years, an inappropriate encounter with an influential patron, Mr. Blackwell, results in her termination. Wanting to start a new life, she packs up Maisie and moves to Kelley's Island in Ohio for an opportunity to work for a brewery. When she gets there she realizes that the owner, Mason Brown, is in need of her experience in hospitality than he originally disclosed. Her first impression was disappointment after moving so far for the job with her daughter. But, it soon turns to optimism when Mason confesses to having little experience with the hotel part of the Limestone Inn and Public House. Of course, life isn't all sunshine and roses. Maisie's father, Brian, decides he wants to be involved in his daughter's life and Mason deals with his own past issues. Ultimately, Rachel and Mason need to work together to make the hotel a success. Themes address family, starting over, resilience and compromise.

Thank you to St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for the pleasure of reading this book. My review is offered voluntarily and unbiased.

I’m not sure how I feel about this one still. I liked it while I was reading it but I found it very forgettable. I did really like the characters and the story line.

Clever and funny romance with main characters who make you laugh! Both main characters have flaws and baggage but they have redemption stories in their resilience and effort to love again. I enjoyed the love story!
The characters and becoming hotel owners gave a good story for people who are afraid to fall in love.

i am boycotting st. martin's press due to racism within their marketing team and will not be reviewing any of their books.

Book where the main character works in hotels? Sold. She helps to design a new Brew Hotel? Extra sold.

Loved this. Very enjoyable part of this series. For some reason I read this last in the series, but that didn't matter, they hold up as standalone novels just perfectly.

I will read everything this author writes.

Off the Map is the third book in the Beck Sisters series by Trish Doller.

Carla is a no-strings-attached, adventure is out there kind of person. Nothing is forever and there is always more out there. She’s been traveling the world for a decade and has no intention of slowing down. When she arrives in Dublin for a wedding, Eamon is tasked with picking her up. His life isn’t playing out as well as he’d like. When he meets Carla, what should be a simple pick up turns into a complex, everything can go wrong trip. As the two spend more time together, Carla realizes sometimes string are okay and maybe romance is worth it after all.

Highly recommend!

What a cute romance! Loved the buildup between the featured couple, but also the built community after she moved north for work. Sweet and a little spicy. I'll definitely read this author again!

This is the second book to Float Plan where we get introduced to Rachel and I was intrigued to get to know her more. Rachel is a single mother working in hospitality, the father is not that big of help sadly. She ends up looking for a job after losing her last one. She gets a job working at a hotel brewery and meets a man named Mason. With Mason having a background in brewing beer it was a perfect match for them. While working together they start to form a friendship then a relationship started to form. Rachel's daughter Maisie was adorable. The story of these three is heartbreaking and emotional but has a HEA in the end.

A thoughtful romance that brings together two wounded people who find healing through their shared work and each other's company, Doller's Suite Spot is a sweet contemporary story that is likely to delight fans old and new. Full of sweet banter, sizzling romantic tension, and fully realized characters, Doller continues to demonstrate her ability to write a romance that feels grounded in reality while also being swoon-worthy. The characters are layered and authentic, the relationships feel realistic, and readers won't be able to help rooting for these two protagonists to work things out. Recommended. A gem of a romance.

This was a super cute and light-hearted read. I love the way this author has people who are going something difficult in their life, come together and find eachother, in a way that feels so effortless. I really liked the progression of their relationship in this, it felt very natural and not forced in any way. I was a bit shocked on how this started, a woman moving in with her child, into her boss's house who she just met. I'm not a mother and I can't imagine a mother doing that. I loved the found family vibes this gave. The side characters were such a great addition. I loved how Mason felt like home, even for Maisie, and how Rachel formed friendships for herself which she needed. This author covers difficult topics in such a well done way.

Gosh, this book was so cute! The perfect break to take from the thrillers I normally read. Loved the characters, the plot, and the imagery the Author created.

I absolutely adored this book. The story follows Rachel Beck, a single mother as she embarks on the hope and faith that a new job in Ohio will work. She leaves her mother's home with her young daughter in Florida to take a chance on a new brewery hotel on an island on Lake Erie.

Upon her arrival she fears she has made the wrong choice, but decides to give it some time. Her time on the island proves to be healing. She welcomes new friendships and relationships and finds herself again.

This was a quick read that can be finished over a weekend or on a beach!

I have never really been a huge reader of romances with people who have children, but I really enjoyed the development of this relationship. It was the perfect amount of tender and romantic.

I also loved the joint effort to bring this location to life. The grump/sunshine trope has been used a lot lately, but sometimes it makes the grumpy party just unlikeable. Thankfully, that wasn't an issue here and Mason is very lovable. I had a harder time connecting to Rachel at the beginning, but as things progressed her more protective shell melted away, and all her great qualities were really coming through. After not really getting to know Rachel (or liking her much) in the previous book, this was a welcome surprise.

I do want to mention that in some ways this is a workplace romance. Even though the workplace is really two people, the idea of Mason being Rachel's boss could very well have come off really creepy, but I didn't think it did at all.

So so cute! I love how easy and her writing and stories are.

The chemistry between her characters is always so enjoyable to read. I loved the setting of this story too!

I really loved Float Plan, so I was really excited to read The Suite Spot to discover Rachel's story. Unfortunately, it fell a bit short for me. I never really connected with Rachel and Mason, and their love story felt sort of bland. Even the big "challenge" to their relationship towards the end of the book wasn't really much of an issue, and things just seemed to fall into place too smoothly. I did enjoy their dynamic together though, and the book was a light, quick read. Hopefully the next book brings back all of the emotion and compelling plot that I felt in Anna and Keane's story!

Thank you to the publisher and author for sending me this ARC in exchange for my honest review, This was my first book by Trish Doller and it was wonderful. Very heart warming and one of those books that give you the warm fuzzies. Loved the small town setting and the second chance at love for both people involved. Pick this one up if you need a feel good read. Solid 4 stars

Trish Doller has become one of my favorite authors quick. There’s the romance aspect of her writing along with a realness that makes it feel like a friend is telling you the story.

I like that she keeps the same characters too!

There is something so delightful about the way Trish Doller writes. I just feel like I’m smiling the entire time I’m reading one of her stories. Her previous novel, Float Plan, is one of my all time favourites.

The Suite Spot was about the second chances that life gives us, and how if we open our hearts to them we just might find what we need, and what we’ve been looking for. It was so hopeful and so sweet.

Doller always manages to create such great main characters, and secondary characters that are just as good. They all play an integral part in the story and really manage to infiltrate your heart. Not to mention, they all banter with one another so well and provide many laugh out loud moments.

I’d I had one “off” thing it would be that I found the ending a bit rushed, for me. That is purely an opinion of my own and has no impact on how much I loved this book.

This book can be read alone but does have recurring characters from the first. But I love both so much I recommend just reading them all!

Thank you SMP Romance and NetGalley for the eARC of The Suite Spot! All opinions in this review are my own.

I absolutely loved this romance and here is why:
- the setting - A bunch of cabins on a tiny island in Lake Erie sounds like a perfect way to spend the summer!
- Maisie - While I'm not always a fan of kids in books, especially in romance books, I actually really liked Maisie and I liked reading about how Mason was with her.
- the gentleness/matureness between Rachel and Mason - After declaring that she has never had a strong relationship with a man, I appreciated how gentle and mature Rachel deals with Mason. She recognizes that he has his own issues to go through and she doesn't want to subject herself to that until he is ready to give them his all.
- the chapter "titles" - Instead of giving each chapter a name, they start with a word in another language and the meaning of it. Each word is a word that doesn't exist in English so the definition can be long, but the word has a very specific meaning that applies to the chapter.

The only downside for me was that the ending felt a little rushed but I also wonder if it felt too fast because I was enjoying it so much and didn't want it to end!

Float Plan and Off the Map (books 1 and 2 in the Beck Sisters series) are now definitely on the top of my summer TBR!
