review 1: Hm. This is a very explicit and very dirty book, consisting of a series of short stories tied together by recurring main character and fellow employees at the hotel where the stories are set. I felt detached from the main character - the scenes are told in a distant first person, descriptions cool, so it was hard to feel much compassion or much of anything really. There is a HEA, of sorts for the main character. I don’t know that I would classify it as a romance though. Bought from kobo.
review 2: I not quite sure how to describe my thoughts on this book. It was well written, and the author has a great writing style. However, I wasn't sure abut how well it flowed. The main character Sophie has an infatuation with her manager Chase and whilst she does end up ... morehappily with another man, I didn't feel that Sophie's feelings for Chase were resolved, or what indeed Chase thought of Sophie. I also thought the relationship between Sophie and Lloyd seemed quite rushed and their wasn't much of a lead up to it, in fact I hardly recall Lloyd being mentioned in any important context before the group night at the pool. A bigger build up of their relationship would have probably drawn me into the story more easily, as well as making me sympathise with Lloyd more and not feel like Sophie ended up with the consolation prize because Chase didn't want her.Overall a well written, intriguing story and I'd recommend it to others, but due to the problems I felt it had its flow and the way the characters stories were resolved, I couldn't quite give it 4 stars, 3.5 stars in my opinion. I'd definitely read from this author again though, as her writing style was great. less
