The Suite Spot was a lovely book. It didn't have any shocking realizations or plot twists, but it was a simple, sweet story of love and second chances. Rachel has long dreamed of owning her own hotel, but has never made the leap to make those dreams happen. She's been stuck in a rut, until the day she's forced to take a step out of her comfort zone. Mason has been stuck in his own rut due to grief and life changes, but he's decided to move forward and live his life instead of watch it pass him by.

Rachel is hired as the "manager" of Mason's cabin getaway in Ohio (a far cry from her Florida roots) but she's surprised to find that the job title of "manager" is a bit misleading. It's actually a flat out lie. Mason hasn't constructed the cabins yet and is giving Rachel carte blanche to decorate, design, and basically get everything up and running if she chooses to stay on. In a leap of faith, Rachel agrees and they spend their days working, learning, and growing together.

I loved the cameos of Anna and Keane in the book (from Doller's novel, Float Plan) - Rachel is Anna's sister. While The Suite Spot is not a sequel to Float Plan and you certainly don't have to read it to follow along with the storyline, it gives more meaning to Anna and Keane's relationship than what is alluded to in The Suite Spot.
Overall, an easy read with a lighter subject matter than Float Plan - there were some hard topics, but the focus was more on the recovery than the tragedy.

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for the ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.

The Suite Spot by Trish Doller is an excellent contemporary romance that is the second book in the amazing series: Beck Sisters.

I loved the first book, The Float Plan, featuring Anna, so I knew I had to read Rachel’s story. It was equally as enjoyable.

I loved the location of the novel: Kelleys Island near Lake Erie. It is right up my alley. The descriptions of the landscapes, locations, and surroundings were peaceful and enjoyable amongst the ups and downs of the issues of the characters and the issues with reinvention and renovation.

I liked Rachel and Mason’s stories. Both have their own issues they bring to the table, but both have their strengths as well. I enjoyed their “opposites attract” interactions that gradually moved towards tolerance, friends, and more during their professional workings. I enjoyed their progression throughout the novel, and I most certainly enjoyed the outcome.

5/5 stars
