Publisher's Summary

Managing the Value Lodge in her hometown was not what Anna Gordon had in mind when she set out in the hospitality industry. But it's a safe choice for a woman whose childhood was anything but stable.

Out of the blue, she gets a once-in-a-lifetime chance to reinvent herself by moving to New York City, where she hopes for a management position at a stylish new boutique hotel. The big city is full of surprises - not the least of which is Sean O'Neil. Her childhood crush has applied for the very same position!

Sweet, romantic, and endlessly entertaining, this romp through the storied streets of New York City will enchant listeners. Melody Carlson has created characters so charming that listeners will long to meet them in the lobby of the stunning Rothsberg Hotel.

Not a book about faith in God

Melody Carlson usually writes books where her characters are believers or become Christians during the story. Not so with this book. It was a pretty straight forward romance but i still enjoyed it for its chill factor. It was nice to listen to 2 young people falling in love in New York. In my opinion, it would have been better if there had been some faith- based character development.
