The Mariposa Hotel
A Tangerine Street Romance
(a novel in three parts)
Welcome to Tangerine Street
Tangerine Street is a must-see tourist stop with a colorful mix of one-of-a-kind boutiques, unique restaurants, eclectic museums, quaint bookstores, and exclusive bed-and-breakfasts. The Mariposa Hotel, a new resort, has revitalized Seashell Beach, bringing new life to the sleepy beach town. In the charming gardens of the hotel sits a three-hundred-year-old wishing well transported from Mexico. One toss of the coin, a sincere wish, and lives are changed forever…

The Fortune Café
The Boardwalk Antiques Shop
I read The Fortune Cafe last year and loved it! You can read more about it and my review here. I haven't yet read The Boardwalk Antiques Shop but it's in my TBR pile.
This book consists of three novellas by three different authors. This time, the setting is the Mariposa Hotel, and revolves around three employees. These are three of my favorite authors so I was excited to read this anthology!
In each story, there were assumptions made between the characters that threatened to keep them apart and they had to be willing to get past those in order to start a relationship. The three characters that work at the hotel are a maid, concierge and events coordinator and the other three characters are a US Marshal, plastic surgeon and a Hollywood producer. The second story didn't appeal to me as much as the first and third ones did, but it's still a fun read.
I loved the 300-year-old wishing well from Mexico that was part of each story. It was fun to visit it and hear the wishes from the different characters.
What I love the most about these books is that they are clean, fast, entertaining reads and I know once I start, I will use every spare minute I have to finish it. I hope there are more Tangerine Street novels in the works!
