Do Not Disturb - Tilly Bagshawe ... name. Palmers, a beautiful old jewel of a building nestled on the coast of the Hamptons, used to be the most glamorous destination in the world. Now Honor wants to restore its reputation, its glitz and its guestlist. But there's a new boy in town with a different plan. Lucas Ruiz is no stranger to struggle. He's worked his way up from the grimy hotel laundries of Ibiza, via Sweden and London, and now as manager of the new hotel on the block, he wants to bring modern boutique-chic to the States. He's got no time for the faded traditions of Palmers - or the ball-breaking girl who's trying to save it. As Honor and Lucas prepare to go head to head to get the rich and famous checking in, the locals are busy checking out the backstairs gossip.

She has created an enemy for Honor in the Spaniard Lucas Ruiz, the man initially in charge of the Herrick. He is an ...more

Being a fan of Louise Bagshawe's books, I was hoping I would also like the novels of her sister Tilly Bagshawe, who began publishing books in 2005. I loved her first one, 'Adored', so I hope that her third release, 'Do Not Disturb', would be as good as her debut. I managed to get my hands on a Proof Copy of this one, as it isn't released for a few weeks, and I was suitably impressed once again! Do Not Disturb is set in the world of hotels. Honor Palmer is a hotel heiress who is forced to take over the running of Palmers Hotel in East Hampton when her father dies. The local residents do not take kindly to this so Honor has to build up her reputation again. She ...
