Thank you NetGalley, Judith Keim and Wild Quail Publishing for the ARC of Coffee At The Beach House Hotel. This is my personal review.

Ann and Rhonda run The Beach House Hotel on the Gulf Coast of Florida. They cater to many different types of guests and each one is always given the treatment as every guest that stays there.
This is another amazing book by the author. She writes so the characters all feel like someone I want to meet. The stories revolve around friends and family and each book in the series has a bit of everything in it. The connection the main women Ann and Rhonda has with the other characters is perfect.
Every time I start reading a book by Judith Keim the rest of the world drifts away until I have finished reading the last word in the book.

I love to read Judith Keim's books. She writes the most powerful female characters in a calming, accessible way. No wonder the Vice President keeps sending problem cases to Rhonda and Ann! This time it's a young football player who needs an attitude adjustment. In addition, there are weddings to deal with, an old nemesis return, some matchmaking, and personal dilemmas that the ladies must work through. Reading Coffee at The Beach House Hotel helped me remember that self-care is essential and left me glad I read it.

The Beach House Hotel is set on the shores of the Florida Gulf. Run by two women Ann and Rhonda, they have made this hotel a first class spot for the rich and famous, so much so when the Vice President asks for help in rehabilitating an NHL football player, no questions asked. Indeed, Bobby 'Bugs" Bailey needs an attitude adjustment. There are other characters that come along with this book...family matters, Brock a nosy neighbor that is a thorn in their sides, persnickety guests that need special attention! However, Ann and Rhonda are strong women who rise to the what occasion is necessary, but first a cup of coffee (if there is time). This is a good beach read, well written and enjoyable. Highly recommended. My thanks to NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This is another wonderful book in the series. I love this series. Rhonda and Ann are such strong women. There’s always something going on at the hotel and it usually puts them in danger. I love how family is always centered in the storyline. The writing is very clear and concise and I feel as though I’m in Florida at the hotel. voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced free copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I received a copy from the publisher through Net Galley.

Coffee at The Beach House Hotel by Judith Keim

This is one of the best books, I read in a long time. It's a reflection of our worth, life, and our mental health. We often speak about strength, but when it comes to mental health, we avoid the conversation. This is one of the best books that speaks about mistakes, forgiveness, and forgiveness to self.

This is the 7th in series. This can be read as a stand alone. Thank you to the publisher and to Net Galley for the opportunity. This is the story of two friends running a boarding house at a coastal location. The many guests they serve bring drama as well as friendship. This book the focus is on a errant NFL player sent to straighten himself out . I enjoyed the coastal setting, the charcters richly drawn to the story and the pace of the story. A fun read for summer.

Rhonda and Ann and the rest of the staff is back for a new chapter in the story of the Beach House Hotel. There's a new "special guest" and Brock Goodwin is still trying to throw wrenches into all their plans. I am a little torn writing this review because one of the things I love about this series is the continuing stories of these characters, but I found myself wishing for something a little different to happen, something completely unexpected to shake things up a bit. I would love to see that happen in the next book to reinvigorate the Beach House Hotel. But, if you have read the others in this series, you know you can't go wrong with this one - the characters are just that likeable (well, other than Brock)!

Two women balance running a hotel with managing their families and helping their employees and friends.

Connecting with old friends is always wonderful, even if they are in one of Judith Keim's series. Ann and Rhonda, still make all their guests welcome and feel like family. In this story, we meet, Bobby “Bugs” Bailey, a star player in the NFL, who let fame go to his head, and needed an attitude adjustment. Bobby’s coach has sent him there, knowing how they had helped others before.
Life at the Beach House Hotel, has love, challenges, family, a sense of relaxation and peace, Brock, but it always feels like coming back to your favorite vacation.
I received an ARC from Judith Keim.
