The Silver Lake Hotel by Anne-Marie Meyer: Book Review

 **ARC received for consideration. All opinions are my own. 

The Book

If she only knew how empty my life had been before I met her, then she would understand why she’s the one person I can’t ever let go of.

Sabrina

I may have made a mistake.

I didn’t think this all the way through. Apparently I thought blowing up my life in Harmony and leaving town with Liam was going to solve my problems, but from where I’m now standing, that decision just created new ones.

Not only am I a single mom, trying to fulfill her new role as an assistant to a rockstar, but I have been thrown into a world that I know nothing about. Liam’s life is after parties and gorgeous women, while my life is poopy diapers and late night feedings.

For some reason, I thought I could handle being a working mom, until it becomes very evident that I cannot. Everyone can see how much I’m floundering, so why isn’t Liam firing me? Why isn’t he marching me out of his life and back to the small town where I belong?

I’m so obviously out of my depth, but Liam doesn’t seem to care.

The lines between boss and assistant blurs until suddenly I’m falling for him and all I want is for us to be a family.

Too bad he already has a daughter. Too bad, his ex seems to have the same idea.

Emery

Just my luck, as soon as I discover a note from Carson stating that he wants me to find love again should anything happen to him, the board calls me into a meeting. Apparently, there’s some decades old requirement for the CEO of Torres Investments to be married and they have no choice, but to enact it.

I may be able to broker billion dollar mergers, but flirting and dating paralyzes me.

Frustrated, Noah, Timothy, and I fly to Harmony so I can clear my head. And it works, until Abigail starts asking questions about Noah.

Who is he? Why is he here? And the worst question imaginable? Why not date him?

Now I’m so confused that I can’t think straight. All I want to do is crawl into a hole and hide, but I’m no quitter. I’m determined to protect everything Carson had spent his life working for. I’m determined to honor his memory.

Book Review

It's no secret that I have been hooked on this series since book one. Now eight books in, and I'm still just as invested. For anyone new to the series though, just keep in mind that this is NOT your typical romance series where you can pick it up in the middle. Each book actually features two couples... one whose story was started in the previous book whom we will see get their happily ever after (Sabrina and Liam) and another who is just being introduced, whose story will continue onto the next book (Emery and Noah), so you definitely want to start from the beginning to get the full story. If you're someone who won't be satisfied without an immediate HEA, you might want to wait for the series to be complete. Trust me though, if you love small town drama, this series is absolutely a must read! In The Silver Lake Hotel, we pick up with Sabrina and Liam right where Honey Bee Library left off. And oh my goodness, I love these two. We met Sabrina earlier on in the series and seeing how far she's come with her struggles with postpartum depression and watching her become more independent... there's something really beautiful about that. And then there's Liam. A rockstar who is great with babies? I mean, really, what more do I even need to say? Their story was so sweet and healing but also had a touch of danger mixed in for some added drama and I absolutely couldn't get enough of them. And that SWEET bonus scene? My goodness! I don't always read bonus scenes, but I would definitely recommend this one, it only made me love Liam even more! The introduction to Emery and Noah has me fully invested in their story and anxiously awaiting the next book to see how it's all going to play out. I absolutely cannot wait. 

The Silver Lake Hotel is a closed-door romance with kisses only and some language. Please note, while the book stays firmly kisses only, there is also an optional open-door bonus scene readers can choose to download in addition to the sweet bonus scene, if desired. This is the eighth book in the Sweet Tea and Southern Gentleman series and is best read in order.
