Read an Excerpt

So Inn Love

Chapter One

"And you are?"

You've got to be kidding me.

I was the last person to arrive. I hate walking into a room that's already full of people-even if the room is the front lobby of a gorgeous seaside inn on the coast of Rhode Island, where I was lucky enough to be starting a great new summer job.

Being late wasn't the impression I wanted to make on my first day, especially since I'd barely gotten this job to begin with, and had found out only a week before that it was mine.

"Hi. I'm Elizabeth McKenzie," I said to the woman standing in front of me. She had short, reddish hair and a stocky, athletic build. She was wearing khaki pants and a white Tides Inn polo shirt that looked as if it had been ironed. The short sleeves had actual creases. "But please, call me Liza," I said. "Sorry-am I late?"

"Just a minute or two. Miss Crossley." She held out her hand to shake mine, and gave me a quick once-over glance, as if she was deciding whether to approve of me or not. I was relieved that I'd removed that pink streak from my hair before I got here-she didn't seem the type to appreciate things like that. Her handshake was so strong, I nearly winced from her grip. "So you're the last-minute hire," Miss Crossley said.

She didn't sound all that happy with the decision, which was funny considering she was the Inn staff manager and she had to be in on hiring me, at some level. I wished she hadn't announced that I was "last minute" like that to the room. Everyone kind of looked up and focused their gaze on me, as if there might be something wrong, or suspect, about me.

As if I'd onlymade the security clearance by the skin of my teeth. As if I were only good enough when there was no other option.

Or at least that's what their faces told me. That I was being snobbed.

Yes, it's a verb. Especially useful around exclusive communities like this one. I actually hadn't known that much about it until three years ago when, because of my mother's job as a professor, we moved to a new town, where Snobs 'R Us was the name of one of the after-school clubs.

Just kidding. But moving right before sophomore year had been a little traumatic for me. Just when I was working my way up from being a lowly freshman, I had to start all over again, and the cliques at my new school didn't make it easy. It was like everyone had lived in the same town forever and I was the sole new person. That wasn't true, but that's how it felt until I made some friends. Now I was wondering if I'd just walked into the same situation here, at my perfect summer job.

One girl flashed me a sympathetic smile, so at least there was that. The room was filled with about forty people, taking up nearly every seat in the large, spacious lobby. It was starting to hit me that I was actually on the Tides Inn staff. I couldn't believe it. Everything had happened so fast, since I got the summons a week ago. My dream job, coming through. I might be late and I might be a little uncomfortable, but at the same time I knew I was lucky to be here.

I finally spotted an empty white wicker chair by the window, so I nodded to Miss Crossley and scooted past her to take a seat.

"Now, we'll do some introductions later on, once you've had a chance to get settled. But the Inn opens for summer season-the only season we have around here-in two days," she said. "That gives us two days to get completely perfect at everything we do. We don't accept less than perfection here at the Tides Inn. Our customers expect it, and we demand it. You've all been hired because of your extreme trustworthiness."

She made it sound as if we were about to go into battle, and we were the elite soldiers. The Green Berets-although I didn't think the Inn's color scheme was green. More like a blue-gray, the color of a whale you might see if you went out far enough in a sailboat. And instead of berets? We'd probably wear floppy bucket hats.

"Now," Miss Crossley went on, "some of you are new to me, some are old friends-" She stopped as the screen door creaked open and slammed shut with a bang.

A tall guy with brown hair, wearing long khaki shorts, flip-flops, and a navy T-shirt ripped at the neck, stepped into the lobby. He glanced behind him at the door, then turned back to Miss Crossley and smiled. He had the kind of smile that made you like him instantly.

"Someone's going to have to fix that before the guests get here," he said.

"Thanks for volunteering, Hayden. Nice you could make it," the manager said. She cleared her throat as she glanced at her watch.

So I wasn't the last one to arrive, after all. Victory! Or at least not total outright failure. I looked at him; his T-shirt said, "Mapleville Academy" on it, a place I'd only vaguely heard of but probably should know about. I thought it was one of those elite private schools in New England.

"Sorry, Peach. I got lost," he said.

"Peach?" several people repeated.

I'd only met Miss Crossley a minute ago, but I didn't get the impression that she was very "peachy" at all. Apple, maybe. Granny Smith Apple. Sour.

"In case the rest of you are wondering, Hayden's the only one allowed to call me that." Miss Crossley narrowed her gaze at Hayden. "And even then I'm not so sure, actually. And what do you mean, you got lost? You've been here the past two summers, plus I picked you up from the New York train yesterday. So where have you been?"

    Crash and Burn

    Liza McKenzie is going to Tides Inn for the She is going to work there for the whole summer with people that she doesn¿t even know. The first thing that Liza notices is the hot lifeguard, Hayden. Some of the people working at the Inn are new but some of them are not. So the returning employees take some of the new employees and throw them into the ocean. Claire, Liza¿s roommate, is also a newbie so they both get thrown into the ocean together. Hayden just happens to have thrown Liza in and notices the expression of pleasure on her face. There is just this immediate attraction to each other. They only problem is that Hayden has a hard time showing people that he and Liza are an item. Liza hates it when Hayden likes like there is nothing going on between the two of them in public. She wants to know why Hayden hates to show affection in public. Will Hayden be able to show his affection for Liza, or will he crash and burn? I liked this book and all, but I think that it waited too long to begin. I really liked it when Hayden would do something cute and romantic for Liza. Yes this book had romance in it but it didn¿t over do itself. I thought it was really funny when Hayden threw Liza into the ocean and then he was in disbelief that she actually enjoyed it. This book is not part of a series, but there are other books like it. Love on the Lifts, Summer in the City, and Icing on the Lake is some the books like it. This book also reminds me of the movie 27 Dresses at the end. The people that would enjoy this book are probably more girls than boys. If you like to read about love and romance then this book is for you. The book doesn¿t over due the whole love and romantic thing. There are just a few parts that are cute. The authors that have some books like this is Rachel Hawthome books and Elizabeth Craft¿s books.

    Cute

    Liza's working at an inn in Newport, RI. At first she imagines working at the front desk - but in reality she'll be housekeeping or where ever else they need her to fill in. Soon she's starting a summer romance despite her roommate's protest. Soon that gets rocky with Hayden keeping their relationship on the down low in public. Is her summer going up in smoke?

    Liza takes a summer job at the Tides Inn to make some money, get a tan on the hotel's private beach, and find true love.

    When she arrives at the Inn to report for duty things, as expected, do not go as planned.

    Instead of working as a front desk clerk she ends up on the housecleaning crew. The dorm that the employees stay in is not nearly as nice as she had hoped. And her former friend that she knew from vacationing in the area with her family acts like Liza is a dead bug on the bottom of her shoe.

    SO INN LOVE is a cute summer read, although at times predictable and it seems to have an abrupt ending. It's a great book to read while lying in the sun, though!

    It was an absolutely perfect teenage summer romance. As with all Catherine Clark's novels the pages practically turned themselves. It was fun and funny. I highly recommend it.

    Loved it

    i just loved this book. just how people can just love each other so much after a short time but then how just one little misunderstanding can change the other persons view on the the person. and how the person will try so hard to get the other person back. the amount of love that flaunts between the two lovers is pure bliss. it just makes you so happy when there happy. because with the way how catherine describes the lovey parts (nothing really bad) it just makes you happy because it like you can feel the love coming through the pages. okay i just really liked it. if you like romance novels this is for you!!!!!

    a great read

    this book is a great summer read, sitting on your porch with a this book, with a iced tea and a lemon wedge on the side, thats what i did. this book repasents what all teens girls want, or have, a summer fling or even finding love. i may only be 16 and never been in love, but i have seen my fair share seeing it. this book is a ralation to every teen girl or mabey even guy, if a guy would read this. this book, shows love in its true form, confuseing, happyness,and hurt, but above all how good love can be. this book is for everyone to read, it show true love.
