Ann and Rhonda own the Beach House Hotel. They have helped Amelia Swanson, the vice-president of the United States, before and she wishes them to keep Mandy who is pregnant at their hotel. Mandy was drugged and got pregnant while an intern for Senator Worthington. He and his wife want to adopt the baby. Mandy has been friends with Jax all through school and he has come with her. Jax loves her and wants them to get married. Mandy is not sure whether she wishes to give up her baby. Senator Worthington is pressuring her.
I have read another Beach House Hotel book and really enjoyed it. I found this one hard to get into given there is so much from previous books going on. Ann and Rhonda meddle in everyone’s lives, and it got a little old. There is lots of drama with her movie star husband, their adopted son, daughters that are pregnant and a new hotel next to them that threatens their livelihood. I did enjoy the relationship between Jax and Mandy as they struggle to do the best for the baby.

I want to visit the Beach House Hotel. It gets better and better each time I visit via a bestseller by the marvelous Judith Keim. Her descriptions throughout the book are so on point I can hear the waves and smell the salt while digging my toes into the sand. Annie and Rhonda are two ladies that I would love the be best friends with or at least have a margarita with them in the afternoons. Cinnamon buns abound and all that happens in the name of love are all the desserts at the Beach House Hotel. Thank you so much to #NetGalley, the publisher and the author for my requested advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.

Ann and Rhonda from Beach House Hotel series have become some of my favorite book characters, and reading this book felt like catching up with them! The Beach House Hotel is facing competition from a new hotel run by Brock Goodwin, who still hasn’t given up trying to make their lives miserable. There is also a new guest at the hotel that adds additional complications.

I really like the way that Ann and Rhonda’s friendship has deepened, they have become an extended family and each book adds new people to their close-knit group. There is some love/romance, but the focus is really friends and family. This is a part of a series, and I would definitely recommend staying with the first book and reading in order - it will give context to the relationships, and also some of the minor characters.

I received a copy of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed this lovely book. This is the first in the series that I have read. First time author for me, too. This is a beautiful beach read. Loved getting lost between the pages in the story.

This is the first book I have read in this series. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was like I was sitting back watching everything as it happened. You definitely won't be disappointed with this book.

I received a free ARC, and this is my honest opinion.

Dessert at the Beach House Hotel by J. Keim, published by Wild Quail Publishing, is book 6 in the Beach House Series and maybe the conclusion.
Ann and Rhonda are the owners of the hotel, are business partners. When a favor is acked from them they can't refuse. I mean who refuses the vice president?? Not many. What plays out is a complex story, a slow burn, conservative read that had me in suspense til the last page.

Thank you NetGalley, Judith Keim, and Wild Quail Publishing for the ARC of Dessert At The Beach House Hotel. This is my personal review.
Ann and Rhonda are back again, and this book is as fantastic as the others in the Beach House Hotel series.
Rhonda and Ann own the Beach House Hotel and reading this book and being back was them felt natural and like I was with family.
They were asked by their friend who happens to be the VP if they could help in another situation by having a guest come that needs a place to stay that is safe and can have privacy. Of course, being the wonderful women, they are they did not hesitate to assist.
I adore all the characters in this series, and I know you will too. Again Judith Keim has written a book that will entertain you from page one to the last page.

Life can be many things, and as the people in Dessert at the Beach House Hotel, know, the way things are today can look so different as you move along through the days and months. Ann and Rhonda, has agreed to help a young woman as a favor to the Vice President of the United States. As I was reading this book, I kept thinking this is, don't judge a book by its cover. It looks like this calm, relaxing beach read, but reading the story, it had my imagination going all over the place. Many things that are happening, like life, we have to wait to see how things turn out. That is the way the story goes. It is people's life, and we have to wait, just like they do, to hear the results.
Judith Keim's books has a way of connecting you to the people in the stories. This was no different. There are many things happening, but like the family and friends they are, they all blend together.
This is book #6 in the series, and you can read this book by itself, but I highly recommend reading the series. Each story has some of the same people, but there are other people added, so it is a different journey each time. I received an ARC from Wild Quail Publishing through NetGalley.
