This is another story about the Beck Sister series. These books can be read alone but you definitely miss out on the connections between the characters.
In book 1, Float Plan, Anna Beck turns the tragedy of losing her fiancé, Ben, into the adventure he had meticulously planned to Puerto Rico. Fortunately, she meets up with Keane Sullivan in a manner which seems clandestine. Ultimately, she hires him to help her maneuver the boat through the rough waters. Keane accepts the job as he was travelling to Puerto Rico for a job opportunity. During the trip, Anna and Keane learn more about each other including the challenges and pains from the past. The story explores love and loss, finding your place in life, and when to let go of the past. The boat trip provided healing as just like the sea, Anna encountered many unexpected situations in which she learned to be open and flexible allowing her to discover her authentic self.
In The Suite Spot, Rachel Beck, is a single mother still living with her mother since Anna has been living on a boat with Keane in the Caribbean. The father of her 4 year-old, Maisie, is not responsible or reliable parent. Rachel enjoys her night job in a concierge reception desk at a Miami Beach hotel, Aquamarine. After working there for 9 years, an inappropriate encounter with an influential patron, Mr. Blackwell, results in her termination. Wanting to start a new life, she packs up Maisie and moves to Kelley's Island in Ohio for an opportunity to work for a brewery. When she gets there she realizes that the owner, Mason Brown, is in need of her experience in hospitality than he originally disclosed. Her first impression was disappointment after moving so far for the job with her daughter. But, it soon turns to optimism when Mason confesses to having little experience with the hotel part of the Limestone Inn and Public House. Of course, life isn't all sunshine and roses. Maisie's father, Brian, decides he wants to be involved in his daughter's life and Mason deals with his own past issues. Ultimately, Rachel and Mason need to work together to make the hotel a success. Themes address family, starting over, resilience and compromise.
