Two
hotel receptionists—and arch-rivals—find a collection of old wedding rings and
compete to return them to their owners, discovering their own love story along
the way.
It’s the busiest season of the year, and Forest Manor Hotel is quite literally
falling apart. So when Izzy and Lucas are given the same shift on the hotel’s
front desk, they have no choice but to put their differences aside and see it
through.
The hotel won't stay afloat beyond Christmas without some sort of miracle. But
when Izzy returns a guest’s lost wedding ring, the reward convinces management
that this might be the way to fix everything. With four rings still sitting in
the lost & found, the race is on for Izzy and Lucas to save their beloved
hotel—and their jobs.
As their bitter rivalry turns into something much more complicated, Izzy and
Lucas begin to wonder if there's more at stake here than the hotel's future.
Can the two of them make it through the season with their hearts intact?

Having worked in a hotel myself, I was sure that I would enjoy a romance based
in an independent hotel – and it certainly did bring back some amusing memories
of how crazy the hospitality business can be.
As Izzy and Lucas compete with each other to be the more invaluable, both
needing their jobs for different reasons, we get to meet the regular guests,
deal with some serious maintenance issues, and get ready for what might be the
last Christmas at the resort.
If you like the idea of understanding some of the behind the scenes escapades
at a hotel, and the competitiveness of the two leads in trying to save the
hotel, you will enjoy this fun story. It is a nice easy read with low angst and
some really amusing as well as moving moments.
