I tried to keep in mind that I was reading a kindle freebie but I found myself waiting around for the story to get going. While the characters were fine and the plot was mildly interesting I had to push myself forward a couple of times. The ebook numbers at 174 pages but it literally took me two weeks to read it. It wasn’t bad, it was kind of just – meh…I liked Ellie more than Carter, but not by much. Ellie is strong and independent but then becomes defenseless and irrational too quickly. I wanted Carter to have some more depth. I get that he had his heart broken when the two were younger but he seemed a little juvenile in his attempts at revenge. I never really took his intentions seriously either. I was slightly turned off by the author’s need to specifically name the brands of a number of clothing items and accessories the characters wore/used. I basically thought to myself, “Who cares?!”As I said the contemporary plot was interesting but it didn’t grab me enough. I found the ending to be entertaining but a little over the top. To prevent spoilers let’s just say I enjoy a HEA but not when the heroine risks her life unnecessarily like that. It was definitely a “get a grip” kind of moment, seriously. Overall, I had an okay reading experience and will likely read another story by the author if it is another kindle freebie. Ellie Montgomery is losing her legacy. Her family's hotel "The Montgomery Hotel" is being foreclosed on. With no other options she must battle through a auction. Meaning she must woo the would be buyers. Only she despises one & the other is a toad. Who will be the new buyer. Will they allow her to stay on & manage the hotel in need of repairs to bring back the grandeur. Enjoyable read, but not a strong storyline. Sex is kinda hot. I see this as being a beach read where you don't need to put alot into the read itself.
