My Thoughts on Resolution Room
Resolution Room is a sweet romance novel with a fun bed and breakfast that offers rooms for each holiday, plus a handsome handyman.
I love the idea of a bed and breakfast that has rooms for each holiday. Would you want to stay in the Easter room this time or the Christmas room perhaps? How fun! I’m not big on decorating for holidays. I really don’t at all, unless you count letting the kids make things because they love crafting! But, I do love celebrating and baking for them, so maybe I could do the breakfasts while the author handled the rooms and celebrations!
Owen is the handyman at the bed and breakfast. Willa and her friends come to stay and then make it a tradition to stay every year. Owen was immediately attracted to Willa and felt sparks but she’s been a bit slow in seeing or admitting love. However, Owen is determined to change that! Will his scheme work? Or will it backfire and leave them both hurt?

More from Courtney
Hello, Readers!
I’ve dreamed of many businesses that I thought would be fun to own – things like a food truck, a bookstore, and a bed-and-breakfast were considered. I loved the idea of decorating and planning the theme of a B&B, but since I’m not a morning person, the whole preparing breakfast part seemed less exciting. Thankfully, as an author, I can put my imagination to work and experience being an inn owner in my books.
As someone who loves to decorate for the different seasons and holidays throughout the year, I wondered what it would be like to have a B&B where each room had a different holiday theme. Enter Carol Holliday and the Holliday Hotel. Carol was born on Christmas and dearly loves all holidays. When her husband unexpectedly dies, she decides to pursue her dream and open the Holliday Hotel, which would not only have holiday-themed rooms but would also offer celebrations throughout the year for her hometown to enjoy.
In Resolution Room, I wanted to explore the tendency we have to push our timelines and agendas ahead of God’s timing.
By making a resolution to not be single by the following New Year’s Eve, Willa makes her desires and timing the focus of the year. How often do I do the same thing? I say I want God’s will, but I push ahead with what I want even when He is saying ‘no’ or ‘wait’.
I hope you fall in love with Holliday Hotel as much as I did and that you come back to visit for the other holidays! See how God’s love is very different from worldly love in Sweetheart Suite. Celebrate the power of the resurrection in Resurrection Rest. Explore the peace of reconciliation in Mama’s Morning Room. Embrace God’s fatherly love for us in Daddy’s Den. Freedom in Christ and forgiveness are the themes of Independence Hall, while God’s power over darkness takes the stage in Harvest Hollow. Gratitude and its relationship to love is the focus of Pilgrim Passage. Finally, celebrate Christmas with a second-chance romance in Christmas Chamber.
Thank you so much for visiting me! God bless and happy reading!
