Book Review: Christmas at the Grand Hotel, 2 novellas




Christmas at the Grand Hotel: White Pine Island Novellas #1 and #2
Liked the story line and thought cover was basic, simple and to the point. Am new to this author so excited to read this book and others.
Love the recap of the two books in this series without giving the whole thing away.
Island sounds so perfect!  Love that it involves a golf course as I am a fan.

Ned and Bethany's story, White Pine Island by May Williams
Phillips family owns the huge Grand Hotel sitting on the bluff overlooking the ocean. Ned runs the golf course and he's compliant on all the regulations. There is a group that wants him to make changes...
Ned's sister Ellen took care of transportation..other cousins handled other areas. Mr. Hinkle and his daughter Bethany would tag along and not play. Ned couldn't believe how much she had changed over the years-she was now a knockout!
They cut that night short and went to the hotel to check in-she's got her own room, early for the wedding preparations of her sister. She's there to spy on Ned, sending pictures of the golf course to her old boss who will go after his course as it's not compliant with rules and regulations.
She has a lot of secrets and he hopes to find out about them all. Love her new career choice, same direction but getting an education for me.  Also the history of the area is fascinating.
He hopes to get closer to her to find out her secrets....hot steamy sex scenes.
Misunderstandings arise and you wonder if they will continue their relationship....
Next in the series sound really good also, can't wait to read them.
