The dismissal line is pretty hot: „I’m worth a lot more than what you are offering tonight. As much as Kai wants to be with Lia, she is dismissed, but still she seems to have left a doubt on Amelia’s mind, on how to understand her employees better, mainly to be close to them and doing the work they are doing, even if temporary. Kai is smitten with „Lia”, especially after the shower she has given to the waiter for mistaking her drink. Their chemistry is palpable the discussion is very entertaining and the language is typically for Lee Winter, brilliantly chosen for the ice queens and smart bigmouthed deal makers. Of course, Amelia’s identity will be hidden and Kai’s shortcut of a name doesn’t point to the „Closer”. It was invigorating for both of them to flirt with a stranger, no strings attached. I loved their first meeting at the Prohibition bar of the Duxton Hotel in Vegas (even the bar’s name suggest something forbidden, good one, Lee). They both have one good reason to be in Vegas: they want to buy the same business, Mayfair Palace. We have our main characters working on opposite sides: Amelia is the vice president of Duxton International Hotels (created by her father Conrad), running its European branch, while Kai is „the Closer”, a deal breaker, who is working for Grand Millennium owned by Mr.Stein The book was also greatly documented and the reader feels like she/he/them is in the hotel industry for real. Also, the mystery of the plot, the complicated mixture of greed, betrail, wrong family values, discrimination, respect, trust or the lack of them or choosing the greater good, create an one of a kind development of the story. That is why I adored „Hotel Queens”: it has amazing main and side characters, which are as different as they are similar, but they have the same level of strength and reputation, this time. Will she put them in awkward, embarrassing situations that will lower down their walls and melt the ice just a little? Definitely, yes.
I wonder what is Lee going to do next to her ice queens. I love Lee Winter’s books, especially because she knows how to write really great characters and unique plots (to be more specific age gap adventurous romances and incredible ice queens) and she has a cool sense of humor, also.
