At this point, I consider myself a Trish Doller megafan. I love her shift into adult romance. Of course, if Doller decided to write more young adult books, I would not complain. The Suite Spot is Doller’s latest and features Anna from Float Plan‘s sister Rachel. The Suite Spot was like a warm blanket and a hot cup of coffee on a cold morning — pure comfort. I loved this book so much. I had zero regrets about preordering it (I preorder maybe one or two things a year). This book is going to have a special place on my shelf next to Float Plan and honestly, I am starting to buy Doller’s back list in physical copy so as to give them special places on my shelves too.
The Suite Spot opens with Rachel’s life falling apart. She has this job at a high end Florida resort. However, one of the guests assaults her and well, given the patriarchy, Rachel is not believed and loses her job. She has to do something for income — given she’s the primary parent for her daughter Maisie. Rachel’s friend gives her a lead — to a position on remote Kelleys Island in Ohio at a brewery hotel. Soon, Rachel is packing up and taking the leap to Kelley Island. There, she works for Mason Brown who is kind of gruff but also really handsome and thoughtful. Also? The job is a total dream for Rachel. She begins to help design what the hotel rooms will look like and rise from the ashes, so to speak, of her mistakes from Florida. Oh, and there’s some pretty intense chemistry between Rachel and Mason.
When I say this book is so warm, I 100% mean it. You know how sometimes you read a book and you shake your head because the drama feels so manufactured. Like, drama that happens because of a miscommunication because of the romantic leads and they just won’t talk to each other and resolve the issue? That doesn’t happen in The Suite Spot. Thank you to Trish Doller for not stressing me out with this book. I am already stressed out enough with my life.
I love that the romance between Rachel and Mason is healthy and sweet and just full of kindness and thoughtfulness. The conflict in this book is not between Mason and Rachel. And friends, we love a book that heals. I love the healing Rachel experiences by coming to Kelley Island. And how everything comes together with the hotel. The Suite Spot was the ultimate relaxation book and I am so obsessed. I cannot wait to reread this in another time of need/high stress.
