Book Reviews of Hotel Liaison (Modern Romance (Bold Strokes Books))Book Review: Something Old, Something New Summary: 4 StarsIn her fourth book, as has become expected, JLee Meyer presents an engaging story with lovable characters and a lasting impression. Laurel and her partner haven't seen eye-to-eye in a long time. In this reader's opinion, Laurel should have moved on a long time ago, but she's not a quitter - even in relationships. What makes matters worse is her partner is the dean of her department and Laurel is hoping to gain tenure at some point. She learns of a unique find in a hidden room of an old hotel - a find that includes old documents and letters from famous women to famous women. It seems the hotel was at one time a ladies getaway until it was taken over by a men's group.
Stephanie has purchased the hotel to restore it and make a name for herself without interference from her father or brother - two men who have little respect for women in general. She's not really interested in dealing with the distraction of Laurel's work. However, she can't seem to resist the professor.
The book also has several colorful supporting characters who keep things light and help round out the story. These include everything from an old, mysterious woman (who knows more about the hotel than anyone could guess) and a young, homeless woman who is more than she appears.
Bottom Line - Meyer has a great imagination and is able to create an engaging, almost-believable story (this is fiction folks). If you have enjoyed her previous books, you'll also enjoy this one. If you haven't read her previous books, this is a great place to start.
Summary of Hotel Liaison (Modern Romance (Bold Strokes Books))Two women searching through a secret past discover that their brief hotel liaison is only the beginning.
Laurel Hoffman, an associate professor of women's studies in Berkeley, struggles to stay on track for tenure while caught up in the last throes of a crumbling relationship with a senior colleague. When she hears of a hotel being renovated and a secret room full of papers about women who once stayed there, she knows she has a potential career-saving article.
Stefanie Beresford, the hotel owner, is not exactly receptive when Laurel approaches her about researching the hotel's history, but that doesn't stop her from flirting with the alluring academic. She doesn't need the distraction, but for the first time in her life she wants to take a chance on more than a fleeting encounter.
While Laurel can't deny her powerful feelings for Stefanie, she fears she's risking her heart as well as her future if she acts on her desires. But can a simple encounter between two rational adults really be all that dangerous?
