T.I.M.E. BOOK REVIEW
Are you looking for a new best contemporary romance book to read?
Lucy Checks In by Dee Ernst is the perfect best contemporary romance novels choice for anyone who loves a good second chance love story. With a strong female lead character, this book takes us on an amazing journey that starts from the lowest point of her professional and personal life. Making this a great best book club book selection for book clubs!
One caveat... Clear your calendar because you won't be able to put this book down! With its fast-paced and thrilling storyline, you'll find yourself rooting for the characters every step of the way. And when it ends, you'll be begging for more.
Dee Ernst has done an amazing job creating Lucy, a multi-dimensional female lead character that you can’t help but root for. You’ll love following her on this journey as she starts from the lowest point of her life and fights to get back up on her feet... Both professionally and personally.
Thank you, thank you, thank you... Dee Ernst! For delivering a book filled with a multi-dimensional strong female character lead who takes us on a splendiferous journey that captured my heart, mind, and soul from the first page to the last.
And reader rewards bonus?... Our amazing female romantic lead is in her 50s! This is my second Dee Ernst book to read and both books are contemporary romance books that explore second-chance love with more mature romantic leads at the center of the story.
With witty banter from our main characters, the character development is a delight to read.
Additional themes with a childhood best friend who is always ready to serve up “best friends to the very end” advice… And an unexpected "opposites attract" connection that is filled with undeniable chemistry as a potential relationship develops.
I loved her first book, Maggie Finds Her Muse, and knew Dee was an author to keep an eye on as she continues her writing journey. With Lucy Checks In, she is now landing on all four of my best books of the year lists with her second book... Brava, Dee!
Naturally, I can not wait to see what she has in store for us in contemporary romances next!
Perfect for readers looking for a complete escape in reading romance that will likely send you straight to your favorite travel app to book a trip to France toot suite!
This book may be the "kick in the pants" you are looking for to start your dream adventure, life, business, or relationship... Whatever your dream is, I hope you discover the faith you need to get there...
As for me... I will have a great glass of wine waiting for you. And I can't wait to hear all the details!... ✨😎✨

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
Lucia Giannetti needs a fresh start. Once the hotel manager of a glamorous NYC hotel and intimately involved with the hotel's owner, Lucy had her entire future planned out. But when the owner disappears, taking millions of dollars with him, Lucy's life as she knows it falls apart.
With her world in shambles and her reputation in tatters, Lucy decides to start over by taking a job managing a small hotel in the quaint French town of Rennes. It's not the NYC hotel she dreamed of, but it's a chance to rebuild her life.
But the Hotel Paradis is in worse shape than she expected. Can she succeed in bringing the Hotel Paradis to its former glory? And will her new life in Rennes be everything she's hoping for?
A heartwarming and feel-good contemporary romance novel about second chances, new beginnings, and finding love in unexpected places.
BOOK CLUB DISCUSSION:
Second chances are possible no matter how low you might feel you've sunken in your life.
It's never too late to start over, find love or create a new home for yourself, even if it's in a place you never thought you'd end up.
Sometimes our lowest points are the touchstones for launching us into our best life.
You are capable of much more than you give yourself credit for — often we just need a kick in the pants (or a big life change) to discover our hidden strengths and pursue our dreams.
BOOK QUOTE:
"It's funny how you can be going along, perfectly content, thinking that this is what your life is supposed to be, and then suddenly, someone comes around that makes you look in another direction. Suddenly, everything is new... And, I knew I would never settle for mundane again." — Lucy Checks In by Dee Ernst
