About this listen

'Beth O'Leary is that rare, one-in-a-million talent who can make you laugh, swoon, cry and ache all in the same book' Emily Henry

They'll do anything to save the hotel, except work together . . .

Welcome to Forest Manor Hotel, where the staff and guests are one happy family. Except for Izzy and Lucas - bitter rivals banned from working the same shift, for everyone's sake.

After struggling for years, the hotel may soon have to close its doors forever. But when Izzy returns a guest's lost wedding ring, the reward convinces management this might fix everything. With four rings still sitting in lost property, Izzy and Lucas are forced to work together to try to save the day.

But as their rivalry becomes something much more complicated, Izzy and Lucas start to wonder if there's more at stake here than the hotel's future . . .

I loved the story. Beth never fails to write a great book. I really enjoyed the female narration by Jessie, unfortunately the Lucas narration was hard to hear clearly, when he did voices from other characters it was fine but the Lucas narration was muffled and difficult to understand. Such a shame. I’m glad I persevered as I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Great story. Struggled with narration

I absolutely love Beth O’Leary’s style of writing from 2 different perspectives. I thought this story was nearing its conclusion on a few occasions, and I’d have been disappointed with the ending I imagined. There were so many plot twists and turns and “aha” moments, particularly with the other receptionist about 3/4 through (no spoilers here). As usual a wonderful story and one I inhaled in under 24 hours!

I thought I knew the end of the story about 10 different times…then it changed!

The female narrator was clearer & louder than the make one so that sometimes made listening hard when the man was speaking - maybe because I listen in the kitchen when cooking. Sadly not as good as the flatshare, more a cheesy romance novel

Ok listen, some good twists

I’ve really enjoyed all of Beth O’Leary’s books but this one was a bit hard to get through. Predictable and with dialogue that had me cringing at times. Disappointing and lacking the originality and spark from her other books

Predictable & a bit cringy

Good story but it was hard to get into it. I think Lucas’s performance was very poor, it was very hard for me to listen at the beginning.

Good story but poor performance

It was a nice story , if predictable, narrated well, I enjoyed it, as I generally do with titles from this author

Nice story

The characters are endearing and it is a sweet storyline. For me I found the build up too long and rather than binging a Beth O’Leary book, I took about 9 months though!

Sweet storyline, but felt like a long build up
