Coffee at The Beach House Hotel by Judith Keim
This is one of the best books, I read in a long time. It's a reflection of our worth, life, and our mental health. We often speak about strength, but when it comes to mental health, we avoid the conversation. This is one of the best books that speaks about mistakes, forgiveness, and forgiveness to self.
I just reviewed Coffee at The Beach House Hotel by Judith Keim. #CoffeeatTheBeachHouseHotel #NetGalley

This is the 7th in series. This can be read as a stand alone. Thank you to the publisher and to Net Galley for the opportunity. This is the story of two friends running a boarding house at a coastal location. The many guests they serve bring drama as well as friendship. This book the focus is on a errant NFL player sent to straighten himself out . I enjoyed the coastal setting, the charcters richly drawn to the story and the pace of the story. A fun read for summer.
Rhonda and Ann and the rest of the staff is back for a new chapter in the story of the Beach House Hotel. There's a new "special guest" and Brock Goodwin is still trying to throw wrenches into all their plans. I am a little torn writing this review because one of the things I love about this series is the continuing stories of these characters, but I found myself wishing for something a little different to happen, something completely unexpected to shake things up a bit. I would love to see that happen in the next book to reinvigorate the Beach House Hotel. But, if you have read the others in this series, you know you can't go wrong with this one - the characters are just that likeable (well, other than Brock)!
Two women balance running a hotel with managing their families and helping their employees and friends.
Connecting with old friends is always wonderful, even if they are in one of Judith Keim's series. Ann and Rhonda, still make all their guests welcome and feel like family. In this story, we meet, Bobby “Bugs” Bailey, a star player in the NFL, who let fame go to his head, and needed an attitude adjustment. Bobby’s coach has sent him there, knowing how they had helped others before.
Life at the Beach House Hotel, has love, challenges, family, a sense of relaxation and peace, Brock, but it always feels like coming back to your favorite vacation.
I received an ARC from Judith Keim.
