In The Beach Club, the juicy first novel by Elin Hilderbrand, a series of personal dramas are played out during one summer at a Nantucket Beach Club. It's about the love of summer, summer love, and the special feelings we all have for that special summer place--in this case, a hotel and an island.
Mack Petersen, manager of the hotel, has been working at The Beach Club for 12 summers. Only this summer is different. His boss, the owner of the hotel, Bill Elliot, shows up in the spring with a new set of demands. His girlfriend Maribel is pressing Mack to get married and Vance, the African-American bellman, who has hated Mack since the day Mack stole his job 12 years ago, threatens him in a deadly scene. Mack knows something's got to give.
Love O'Donnell, the new front desk person straight from the slopes of Aspen, is desperately searching for a stranger to father her child. The bellman, Jem Crandall, who posed as Mr. November in his college calendar, is on his way to LA to break into agenting, until he falls in love with Maribel. Emotions are at a peak when a hurricane threatens to wash away The Beach Club and all it stands for.
An engrossing, sexy novel that will sweep you away to the beach any time of the year.

This book is MISSING the last ELEVEN PAGES. There are ELEVEN BLANK PAGES at the end of this book. Clearly a printing error and when I contacted Amazon customer support about the issue, there was nothing they would do because it was outside the return window. Really great coming from a company that started as an online bookstore.The book itself is good, but not her best. In general, I really like this author.
I was about to read this book and found an issue but it can't be returned because the time to return ended a few days ago. Pages145 to 158 cannot be read as the pages are doubled over and are included in the binding making them unreadable. Double check anything purchased.
Another good read by Elon Hilderbrand. Once again, an enjoyable story that gets wrapped up at the end. Easy to read and quick moving.
I truly enjoyed the story. I felt like I was at this hotel. The characters were engaging and you could feel for Mack and his abilities to handle many various situations.
Loved it! Great times on a great island I can’t wait to visit! Wish there was a follow up to this one
