The fabulous setting couldn’t save the lackluster plot or the horrible dialogue. I really wanted to like this book but it was impossible.

The beginning grabbed me, being from Florida where the Beach House Hotel is located and loving the Tampa Bay Bucs was another plus. I also was in the hospitality industry so also could relate to the main characters. This was the first I read in this series and truly there seems to be a cast of hundreds. It was confusing with all the characters and I was lost in parts due to stories from the previous books. I definitely suggest reading it in order from the beginning would make this a more enjoyable read.
Thank you NetGalley for this eARC. I am voluntarily posting an honest review after reading an Advance Reader Copy of this story. #NetGalley #HighTeaattheBeachHouseHotel

I love the Beach House hotel series, It is like visiting a favorite family member. Love all the characters and the setting.

It was so nice to be back with Ann, Rhonda and the fabulous staff at the Beach House Hotel. Their escapades are always great! Nice catching up on their growing families. This is part of a series but can be read as a standalone given the recaps throughout the novel. A nice, light, enjoyable read.

I love the Beach House Hotel books, and this one is no exception. It almost feels like calling home to talk to a friend. If you haven’t read any of them yet, I would suggest that you read the very first one to get the introduction to the characters, and get to know them as they form their bond. Reading a new Beach House Hotel book is like checking in with your family or friends, with some sort of complication at the hotel central to the story. With this book, that ‘complication’ didn’t crop up until about half way through, but catching up with the characters in the meantime was nice - and I especially loved the new development with a set of grandparents for Robbie.

So, pick this one up and check in with Ann and Rhonda, and see how Brock is complicating their lives this time!

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley; all opinions are my own.

As with this author's Beach Hotel series I love this one too. You never know what is going on there. Rhonda and Ann started a great hotel and have been running it a long time. Rhonda and will and their family and a wedding that is Rhonda's son-in-law's father. Reggie and Angela have 3 children. Ann and Vaughn have Robbie and Liz . She has triplets with her husband Chad. There are so many characters that come through each book and they all begin to be family. This time it is royality . Hazel and Kurt. Are they royality or something else? This is a VERY GOOD READ.

#HighTeaattheBeachHouseHotel #NetGalley is a great book that I thoroughly enjoyed reading.
Even though there are several previous books I hadn't read, I was able to relate to the characters and understand the concept of the story.
This book grabbed my attention and the mystery was well done.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for selecting me to read an advanced copy of the book.

I truly enjoy these Beach House Hotel books by Judith Keim and this one didn't disappoint. I have been patiently waiting for this newest book to come out and was excited to be able to read an ARC copy on my most recent vacation in the area where this takes place in FL. I enjoyed catching up with Ann and Rhonda and their families as well as the happenings at the Hotel and beyond. I appreciate that they treat their employees at the hotel as family and are always trying to help them if they need it. I also appreciate the shenanigans that some of their hotel guests get into.
If you need a fun Beach read, then this is it.

Thanks to NetGalley and the Publisher for the ARC.

This is my first time reading a book by Judith Keim. I found the book to be a light read, enjoyable, but found myself wanting a little more substance. Overall, a nice read.

It grabs you from the start to the finish. Easy read, great characters and beautiful setting.

Thank you to Judith Keim, NetGalley and Wild Quail Publishing for the arc of this book

High Tea at the Beach House Hotel was an easy, companionable read, suitable for times when you just want to chill with a book and a drink.

The writer detailed mundane things, and tended to write in short sentences, which frankly took a little getting used to. I wish more flesh and depth could have been added to the characters and emotions of the book. Whilst it was enjoyable and at times heartwarming, I had hoped to be more invested in each character and the situations they found themselves in, rather than touch and go moments.

A new book in this fantastic series Judith Keim. I felt as though I was visiting family. It’s such a heartwarming book with some mystery thrown in. I love how Anne and Rhonda’s inner circle keeps getting bigger.

It sure was nice visiting the Beach House Hotel once again. Each time I go, it is so inviting, the food is amazing, everyone makes me feel like I am just part of the family, and there is always a little intrigue.
Never been to a high tea before, and that was a lot of fun.
Hilda Hassel, a member of the Bavarian royal family, was a guest here, and she was quite interesting in many ways. I had to chuckle at what happened to Brock, I still am.
If you have read the other books, I hope you revisit the Beach house Hotel, and have a wonderful time like I did. If you haven't read the books, you could read this by itself, but knowing all that happened at the Beach House Hotel, gives it a different perspective. This review is different from my usual, because coming here, makes me feel, I am on vacation, and know everyone.
I received an ARC from Judith Keim and Wild Quail Publishing through NetGalley.
