I loved the two main characters. Such strong women I loved their little life they had, how protective they were of their families.

Rhonda and Ann own a hotel that is secure and private. Vice President Amelia arrives with her sister Lindsey to ask Rhonda and Ann to hide abused Lindsey from her ex husband who happens to be related to the President. Nosy neighbor Brock Goodwin Is a pain in the neck for Ann and Rhonda. and always threatening the them. The story has twists and turns based around those main characters. It was a lovely story. Nice to read. Not a lot of depth. I would recommend the book if you are looking for an easy, light read.

I received this book as an ARC from NetGalley.
NOTE! This is book #5 in the series!!

Well, Ann and Rhonda are back at The Beach House Hotel after their hostile takeover and they are back to what they do best. Keep secrets, treat their guests like they are the only ones staying at the resort, and trying to find the right balance of work/life.

The VP of the USA needs the ladies help. She needs the ladies to protect and hide her sister from her abusive husband while the divorce papers are being filed. In addition to the serious situation, they are still dealing with home issues - Liz trying to get pregnant, Angela having baby #2, and Vaughn dealing with his new love interest on the soap opera he works on.

A lot happens at this luxury resort and I am looking forward to book #6 in 2022.

This is book 5 in the Beach House Hotel and it can be read as a stand alone. I didn't realize it was part of a series until I started to review the book. I'll be looking for the previous books. Expecting to have the Vice President of the US as a guest at their Florida very private hotel, Ann and Rhonda are now playing host to her sister. She's in hiding from a powerful abusive husband. A good story with some great characters. There's also a wedding being planned and some mystery and intrigue. I enjoyed the story. I received a copy of this ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review.

The cover is what drew me to this book. The characters of this book were so engaging and their stories and lives were engaging. I just could not put this book down and was so involved with the story.

This is the fifth book in the Beach House Hotel series but the first book in the series that I have read. <i> Margaritas at the Beach House Hotel</i> is set in Florida and I love reading books that are set in the state I consider my home. Enjoyed meeting Ann and Rhonda, both run the hotel with a discreet staff that keeps identities of guests who want to get away, private. The neighborhood troublemaker, Brock, keeps sticking his nose where it does not belong. The guests, the staff, Ann, and Rhonda, make a great book. Will put the first four books on my TBR pile for sure. Another great book by Ms. Keim. Thank you for Ms. Keim, Quail Publishing, and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book.

Unfortunately, this book was not for me. I did not enjoy it, and I did not finish it. I was not invested in the characters. Sorry.

I would love to have Margaritas with Ann and Ronda, the proprietors at the Beach House Hotel. They demand the best for their guests, and privacy is of utmost importance. Extra security is needed for their special guests this time, and a lot of challenges are presented. I love the characters, setting, and storyline and did not want this one to come to an end. I look forward to reading the next Beach House Hotel story!

An intriguing story of lifelong friends, their pasts, their present and the potential for their future alongside characters experiencing pain, violence and heartache at their hotel. A testament to friendship, love, commitment, acceptance and family. A great summer read for all.

Margaritas at the Beach House Hotel is the sixth edition in Judith Keim’s Beach House Hotel series. In this installment, U. S. Vice President Amelia Swanson is multitasking as she simultaneously works to free a captive female American journalist in Central America while working diligently to protect her sister, Lindsay Thaxton, from her abusive husband Thomas Thaxton, brother of the sitting president, Edward Thaxton.

As Ann Vaughn and her business partner/best friend Rhonda Grayson work to help the VP and to protect her sister, many’s the day the two partners meet to discuss the trials of the day, particularly the wormy Brock Goodwin, nosy president of the Neighborhood Association, over margaritas on a secluded hotel balcony. As they navigate the antics of Brock, the protection of Lindsay, weddings, and visitors, the ladies of the Beach House Hotel move forward in their quest to run their lovely establishment.

This is another fine offering from seasoned author Judith Keim. With very interesting characters, this beloved series has yet another lovely adventure! I did enjoy this book and I do recommend it!

This is my first time reading anything by Judith Keim and it won't be my last! I enjoyed the book and felt like I was in the book as I felt connected to the characters. Keim paints pictures with words as she draws the reader into the story with every word. What a great read!

I enjoyed reading this story. Ann & Rhonda are best friends & business partners. Family is they most important thing to these women.. I truly enjoyed this story. This is the first I’ve read of this series but have already bought the others so I can start fresh. When I get to this book I know I will reread it just to have read in order, it was that good!

Margaritas at the Beach House Hotel is an enjoyable fun beach read. The Beach Hotel is an upscale hotel that is known for keeping the privacy of its guests. As a result, they have hosted a number of famous guests. It is run by the owners, Ann and Rhonda. The Vice President of United States asks them to protect the privacy of her sister who has escaped from an abusive husband who happens to be the brother of the President. They allow her to stay in their private cottage on the hotel grounds along with her security detail. In addition to keeping her secret from the public, they must also keep her presence hidden from Brock Goodwin, the nosy head of the local business owners association.

Things for Ann and Rhonda are also busy in their family life. Ann's stepdaughter has a new baby and comes in to town introduce the new baby to the family. Rhonda's daughter, Angela has her second baby .Ann's daughter has been trying to get pregnant but has had a number of miscarriages. Rhonda's mother-in-law comes in town to help care for her new grandbaby which provides much anxiety as she is very controlling.

Ann and Rhonda drink Margaritas as they meet at the end of the day to discuss business the drama that is going on with the hotel and their families. This is a great summer read. I recommend it.

Fifth book in the series didn’t disappoint. An easy read that moved fast enough to read in a day or two yet you’ll still enjoy the story.
