Lucy Checks In by Dee Ernst
4.0
Attempting to make a comeback after an unexpected, catastrophic, and out-of-her-control career and romantic failure, Lucy moves to France to take a job as a hotel manager in Rennes. She signed the contract while still in the U.S.—having never visited her new place of employment—and, well, the hotel, the cast of characters involved with it, and what is covered under her job description are not what she expected.
After spending 30 years working in the North American hospitality industry and the last two years of her late 40s unemployed and living with her parents, will Lucy be able to adjust to the change of culture and pace?
And what will she do about that instant attraction and instant antagonism that she feels toward Bing, one of the hotel’s permanent residents?
Joining Lucy on this journey was definitely worth my time. I loved the found family aspects, watching her grow and regain her confidence, and the slow burn buildup between reluctant Lucy and magnetic Bing. I became invested, not just in Lucy’s story, but in the relationships and friendships surrounding her as well.
If you have a Saturday afternoon to spare, I recommend picking up Lucy Checks In.
