Enter, handsome son of the owners of the Bonneville, Joe Douglas. Fresh from his successful business in extreme adventure in the US, he is back and living at the hotel. The consensus is that he is there to learn to manage the hotel as he is slated to work in every department. The trouble begins, starting with his introduction to Rosie. It is a prickly relationship from the first encounter and goes down hill quickly. They look at wedding planning differently, and butt heads constantly. Joe freely talks about his beliefs, that "the bride should get the wedding she wants, not the one the wedding planner wants." He is happy, laid back and always speaks his mind. Life for him, is too short and he wants to live every moment at it's fullest. Rosie is the direct opposite and the fight is on.
HONEYMOON HOTEL is a romantic romp told with wonderful descriptions of the workings within the Hotel Bonneville in preparation for the classic, lovely weddings, and the staff involved. The romance of Rosie and Joe was slow but oh so sweet! Joe is as delicious as all the sweet treats he steals at every opportunity. I found him to be adorable, lovable and a "keeper". I'm so glad Rosie thought so too. HONEYMOON HOTEL is my favorite read in a long time. Thank you, Hester Browne.
Book Summary
A charming novel in the vein of The Wedding Planner featuring an ambitious and by-the-books event planner who finds herself at odds with her new assistant, who happens to be the son of her boss, on the eve of the biggest wedding of her career—from the New York Times bestselling author of The Runaway Princess and the Little Lady Agency series.
The Bonneville Hotel is the best-kept secret in London: its elegant rooms and discreet wood-paneled cocktail lounge were the home-away-from-home for royalty and movie stars alike during the golden age of glamour. Recent years haven’t been kind, but thanks to events manager Rosie, it’s reclaiming some of its old cachet as a wish list wedding venue. While Rosie’s weddings are the ultimate in romance, Rosie herself isn’t; her focus is fixed firmly on the details, not on the dramas.
She lives with a professionally furious food critic and works tirelessly toward that coveted promotion. But when the hotel owner appoints his eccentric son Joe to help run Rosie’s department, she’s suddenly butting heads with the free spirit whose predilection for the unconventional threatens to unravel her picture-perfect plans for the most elaborate—not to mention high-profile—wedding the hotel has ever seen, a wedding that could make or break not only the hotel’s reputation, but also Rosie’s career.
From the author whose books are described as “deliciously addictive” (Cosmopolitan), Honeymoon Hotel will reaffirm your belief in happily ever after.
