The Suite Spot by Trish Doller
Rachel Beck has run into an impasse. She is a single mother who continues to reside at home while attempting to salvage a failing marriage. The one bright spot in Rachel’s life, except for her kid, is her job as the night reservations manager at a five-star hotel in Miami Beach—that is, until the night she gets fired for an offence she didn’t commit.
On a whim, Rachel calls the brewery hotel on Kelleys Island in Lake Erie to ask about a management position. When Rachel receives the job offer, she moves across the nation with her daughter in tow. She discovers Mason on Kelleys Island, an attractive and brooding man who is an expert at brewing beer but has no experience managing a hotel. Especially one that consists of studs and a base. Although Rachel wasn’t seeking a job, Mason gives her the opportunity to work on a hotel construction project while also starting over in her own life.

The Suite Spot by Trish Doller, the author of Float Plan, is about taking a chance at a new life and a new love. With her daughter’s father, Rachel has accepted that their relationship isn’t perfect. Despite being 28 years old, she has decided to live with her mother because Ft. Lauderdale’s high cost of living is hard on single parents’ wallets. She has decided to content herself with daydreaming about the existence and the future she is adamant about having – managing her own boutique hotel – in the future. Getting the career promotion she has been working toward for ten years is the first step.
When a pushy, entitled, predatory hotel guest approaches Rachel after she declines his overtures, Rachel’s hopes are dashed. Although Rachel’s job loss throws her into a frenzied frenzy, it also serves as a wake-up call. She currently perceives life as a perpetual effort to maintain above the typical high water mark and a constant treading of water to avoid drowning.
Rachel gets a position as general manager of a brand-new boutique hotel in Ohio that is owned by a brewing startup because she is determined to shift her career path. The position appears to be ideal on paper. It’s an advancement. It brings her dream one step nearer. It receives a respectable wage and is housed. Its location on an island in Lake Erie is a disadvantage. Snow is present. It is chilly. These offend her greatly because she has lived in Florida all her life. Ferries are the only means of transportation to and from the mainland. Mason Brown, the proprietor, doesn’t appear to mind that she and Maisie are a pair. She has just the expertise he needs, he tells her, to make the hotel profitable.
Nothing on Kelley’s Island is exactly as it seems, as Rachel finds out when she gets there. It doesn’t quite feel like she’s been the victim of a bait and switch, but she hasn’t.
And to make matters worse, her new employer is also incredibly handsome and emotionally distant. And despite his assurance that she could bring her daughter, he appears to be very uneasy around her animated three-year-old.
The fact that Rachel is given free freedom to manage the property’s renovation and an open chequebook is a consolation in what could otherwise be a complete farce of a situation. The guest accommodations and the event area were entirely built and designed as part of this renovation. She has a fantastic chance to use the skills she acquired while studying hospitality.
The only hitch in her plan is trying to maintain a professional relationship with her distant job. Mason is unlike any other man she has met before. And sure, because her life has been dominated by her profession and her daughter, she is dreadfully unprepared for the dating world. But occasionally, she notices him glancing at her out of the corner of her eye with a face she can’t place. There is also tea. likewise the stargazing.
