Margaritas at The Beach House Hotel

Thank you NetGalley, Judith Keim and Wild Quail Publishing for the ARC of Margaritas at The Beach House Hotel. This is my personal review.
This is book five in the Beach House Hotel series and it is as magnificent as the others in the series.
Ann and Rhonda own and run the Beach House Hotel in Florida. They make sure all their guests have a wonderful time when they are at the hotel, and they do everything they can to make sure the privacy of their guests in protected. The guest they have this time is the sister of the Vice President of the United States. Keeping her out of the spotlight is essential to her safety and this puts a lot of pressure on Ann and Rhonda as well as staff members. They handle it with the help of trusted employees, but things get complicated.
Grab this book to read as you relax and you will be so glad you do!
I enjoyed being back at the Beach House Hotel and I look forward to more books in the series.

This book revists Ann and Rhonda at the Beach House Hotel - I believe this is the fifth of the series and I listened to all the previous books in this series on Audible. I would recommend reading the others first, it is not necessary, but it does give insight into the past development of the characters, their families, and the hotel.

Ann and Rhonda have been at it for a few years by the time this book is set - they are running a successful upscale hotel that caters to important people who want to get away, and have some privacy while doing it. Of course their are nosy people that live nearby and want to get the scoop on their visitors; and one of their current visitors requires the utmost privacy and is in danger if her whereabouts are known.

This book is filled with love, friendship, family, and margaritas. An excellent summer read!

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

Entertaining. This is a book that is somewhat deep in a series - Book 5 - and never once shies away from that fact. It has a wide range of established characters and storylines, but Keim does a remarkable job of making sure the reader understands the relevant histories, no matter if they've been a long time fan or if this is your entry point to this series or even this author - as it was both for me. Indeed, it is arguable that perhaps Keim does *too much* rehashing of prior stories- more in repeating a few sentences (with variation, not copy/ paste, at least not obviously) about whatever relevant fact such as how characters met or why another character is so problematic, etc.

And yet, despite and perhaps because of all of this, this book absolutely works as a continuation of its world and as a showcase for the author's style and tone. Those that enjoy ensemble casts with a lot of characters and a lot going on will thoroughly enjoy this book, those who prefer fewer characters... probably won't like it as much. But the storylines all interweave remarkably well, particularly with the narration being solely driven by one character's perspective and the primary focus being that character and her business partner and friend - who enjoy catching up in stolen moments via the titular event.

Ultimately a strong book about friendship and defending the hurting, this tale is very much recommended.

Margaritas at The Beach House Hotel is part of a series. It can be read as a stand alone but after reading this book, you will want to go back. Ann and Rhonda who The Beach House Hotel. Two very different woman. They agree to help the Vice President host her sister, who was in a abusive relationship. I enjoyed all the characters in the story and how they handle their nemesis Brock. A fun beach read. Thank you to NetGalley and Wild Quail Publishing for the E-ARC. This is my own opinion.

A book that is close to home! On the coast of Florida!.
This was a very enjoyable good heartwarming book!
I wished I have read the series in order... Because I'm weird like that!
Still though out of order this book was amazing!
The characters in this book are great wonderful people!
I loved the story the most!.its a feel good story that will have you feeling all warm
Now I've gotta get her other books

Thank you NetGalley and Wild Quail Publishing for this awesome ebook!

This is book five in the series and the story continues on with Ann and Rhonda running the Beach House Hotel. As I was reading, there seemed to be a lot of things happening with the things going on at the hotel, the families, and the President of the Neighborhood, but everything flowed so smoothly. I was amazed that the book was so relaxing with all that was going on.
They have the right employees who they trust, they have built up a reputation of giving everyone their privacy, whether it is a tourist, a celebrity, or the Vice President of the United States. They are prepared for the unexpected and, yes, there are unexpected things that happen, As, I didn't have time for a mini vacation, I felt like I was on a mini vacation reading this book. Even having some Margaritas with them.
I received an ARC from Wild Quail Publishing through NetGalley.

Even though this is book five in a series It can easily be read and enjoyed as a stand alone book. Ann and Rhonda are great characters and their home lives run easily against their work at the Beach House hotel. There is a lot to enjoy with weddings, babies and the neighbourhood trouble maker. Ann and Rhonda go the extra mile to keep their guests safe and protect their privacy but they are tested to their limits when they are asked to protect an important guest from her abusive husband.

I really enjoyed Judith Keim’s writing style and was hooked from page one. This is a book I would definitely recommend to anyone who enjoys a good read with behind the scenes glimpses of hotel life.

Margaritas at The Beach House Hotel by Judith Keim takes the reader back to visit Sabel, FL, and two wonderful characters, Ann, and Rhonda. This is the fifth booth in this series but can be read as a stand-alone novel. The ladies have hugely different styles but work together and have made a success of the Beach House Hotel.
Ann and Rhonda have a request from an extremely important person. Vice-President Amelia Swanson is asking for a place of sanctuary for her younger sister Lindsay Thaxton. Lindsay is married to the president's younger brother who has been sent to a rehab facility. He is repetitively abusive to Lindsay. She needs a place to recover and escape from her husband while she waits for a divorce. The Beach House has a small cottage at the back which will be used for Lindsay and her bodyguard, Debra. The Vice president's limo has not been gone long before their number one troublemaker comes to call. Brock Goodwin has come to ask who was in the limo that he had seen at the hotel. Ann and Rhonda let him know it is none of his business and they have a right to keep their client's identity private. Problems continue to surface as the ladies try to provide a safe haven for Lindsay amid noisy neighbors and the media photographers.
An incredibly good sequel in this series!

Thank you to NetGalley, the author, and publisher for the opportunity to read this book.

Rachel and Ann are co-owners of the Beach House Hotel. It is an upscale, small hotel where guests are given utmost privacy. That is why the Vice President of the United States is there along with her sister who is in the process of divorcing her husband, the President’s brother. Keeping everyone safe requires a lot of help and some interesting happenings. Rachel and Ann believe the staff are like family and they also feel that way about many of their guests. Ann is married to a long-time soap opera star who has his own interesting life. He maintains a loving relationship with his wife, Ann, and their children from previous marriages. The setting is the beach in Florida, and I felt like I had been transported to their lovely hotel with activities and the beach at my disposal. Great characters and stories that provide insights into relationships between grandparents and new mothers, new mothers and their children, best friends, and extended families.

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.

Wonderful characters , great storyline , the topic is a sensitive one that needs to be addressed , nice to see a different take on it with the political view .The characters are full of personality , fun and whit . Look forward to reading more from this series .

A very enjoyable novel, the characters and settings really came to life and I felt part of it all. I am about to order the whole series to read them as them stand. This is the first book I have read by this author but it wont be the last. 5 stars

Thanks to Netgalley and publisher for this ARC

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!

I really enjoyed this book. Character development was good. The plot was very interesting. Not a lot of typos.

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.

Firstly, Judy Keim is such a talented writer and I adore all of her books. This series has been such a delight to read. I so much enjoyed this one. Not only do I love Ann & Rhonda, the main characters, but all the supporting ones that are a part of the hotel & their families. This story was so unique with the domestic violence aspect and a female Vice President featured(YES!!!) as the main storyline. There was lots of intrigue but also the sweet female fiction that Keim is so wonderful at keeping all of her books full of. The new babies and love of the characters balanced with the danger posed to Lindsay was perfect! Another 5 stars. As always!

I love this series. I have loved every book I have read by Judith Keim. This story line is wonderful and may have more truths than some folks would like to admit. The characters are awesome. Who wouldn’t want a partnership like Ann and Rhonda have? I just wanted to keep reading and didn’t want the story to end. I can’t wait for the next one! I received this book from NetGalley, but my opinion is my own.

I love this series of books! It was so fun to revisit the beach house hotel and all the new adventures these women take. I am enjoying the direction that has been taken of the “girls” reclaiming the hotel and the evolving story line of their daughters preparing to assume the responsibility of the hotel. Looking forward to where this saga leads!

Rhonda and Ann own a boutique hotel overlooking the Gulf of Mexico in Florida. This isn't just any hotel, but one that caters to theirs guests' privacy, and more if needed. When the Vice-President, America, Amelia Swanson comes calling to ask Rhonda and Ann if there is someplace very private for the President's sister-in-law and her sister, Lindsey Thaxton the answer is a resounding "yes." Seeking sanctuary from her abusive husband, Lindsey stays in the private house behind the hotel while she is waiting for her divorce. The Beach House Hotel is the perfect fit.

Yet, while adding to their stress of securing this haven, the two of them have their own lives to juggle...New babies, relationships that need special handling, not to mention the press that come sniffing around looking for a front page story. Through it all, their friendship remains strong, and on most days ends up with the two of them enjoying a margarita!

This book was a page turner, as I was eager to keep reading, more than curious to find out what was happening next! I love the way it was written, I enjoyed the friendship shared by the two. For me, not only was the book "yummy" but so was the margarita I had when I was reading it on my patio! Highly recommended...both the book and the drink as well.

My thanks to NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

To be reviewed on Goodreads, Amazon and my blog https://bookreviewsbylulu.blogspot.com/.

I love, love, love this writer and this series. Actually I love all of her series. This book is the 5th in the series and doesn’t disappoint it is filled with love and friendship, with some margaritas thrown in for good measure. It is a feel good story that will have you feeling all the feels. Highly recommend.

A full ensemble of characters lead us through Margaritas at The Beach House Hotel. The main characters are Ann and Rhonda, very different women, who work together to run The Beach House Hotel on the Gulf Coast. This book is fifth in a series, but it can be read as a stand-alone. The hotel is upscale, and entertains VIP guests. With a storyline involving domestic abuse and females supporting females, the book also has suspense, mystery and intrigue. This book is perfect for a summer vacation suitcase or beach bag, or to cozy up with on a chilly day by a fireplace. I would like to read the previous books in the series to discover more antics and adventures by Ann and Rhonda.
Thank you to Net Galley and Wild Quail Publishing for the Advance Reader's copy and the opportunity to review this book.
