Too Busy For Love
For Beatrice, working at one of London’s boutique hotels is a dream come true. She doesn’t need a social life. She just needs an ordered diary, crisply folded sheets and happy guests. But Beatrice’s routine comes to an abrupt halt when her hotel is raided by the police. Suddenly she finds herself released on bail, and trapped in London, with only the hotel chef Jock for company.
Having decided to make the most of their situation, Beatrice lets her hair down – figuratively and literally – for the first time in her life. And incredibly, despite the threat of possible prison around the corner, she finds she loves every moment spent exploring London in Jock’s company.
But all bubbles have to burst, so when the pair are released without charge, it’s time for Beatrice to get her life, and her career, back on track. She can’t let a little thing called feelings get in her way… So why can’t she forget Jock, even when her career dreams look set to become reality?
Beatrice may like to keep life fully booked, but can you ever really be too busy for love?

My Review:
Too Busy for Love is a fantastic women's fiction, romantic comedy. Hotel manager Beatrice loves working at a unique boutique hotel in London. Sure the owner, and her boss, is a bit quirky but Beatrice enjoys her guests and her routine. Her world comes crashing down when the hotel is raided by the police and she and the chef, Jock, are arrested. Forced together under house arrest until the police decide to press charges or not, Beatrice and Jock make the best of their new, hopefully temporary, arrangement. When the police decide not to press charges, Beatrice and Jock end up parting ways.
Both characters move on with their lives, thinking about the other but not doing anything about reuniting. Beatrice is adamant that she get her life and career back on-track. When she's about to embark on a dream-come-true, she still can't stop thinking about Jock. Too Busy for Love is a wonder exploration of Beatrice's life and the path she wants to take and the path she needs to take.
My only complaint is the lack of Jock throughout this story. There wasn't nearly as much romance in the book as I thought there would be. Beatrice and Jock are wonderful characters, though I would have loved to learn more about Jock, and get to know him better.
I loved the entire story from the catastrophe at the beginning to the finale that pulls everything together. The secondary characters rounded out the story nicely and it was a pleasure to meet them. I was engaged in this book from the very beginning, and couldn't put the book down. I was provided a copy of this book.
