Alex is a Harvey Girl and has been working at the resort for four years. Most of the Harvey restaurants are designed to get people in and out in a short amount of time, but this one at the Grand Canyon is more about luxury and enjoyment. Embarrassed by her father's adulterous behavior, she wishes he would go away. When Senator Winthrop brings a party of people, her problems grow.
Luke has been in love with Alex for quite some time, but she only sees him as a friend. Her view of men has been affected by her father's treatment of her and she feels that all men are the same. Bundling Luke into that category is a little unfair, but Alex has to realize that on her own. One of the Winthrop party has taken a liking to Luke and he can't seem to get rid of her.
These two get into a lot of trouble. Winthrop's assistant is willing to do anything, and I mean anything, to make sure the senator gets into the White House and has no conscience. He uses anyone and everyone to accomplish that goal and eliminates anyone who gets in his way. Alex'a mother arrives on the scene and now the stakes have been raised when Alex and her mother are not only threatened by Winthrop's assistant but also by Alex's own father.
I enjoyed this book. I found Alex to be a little heartless at times when she would prejudge Luke and have no faith in him. She eventually learns the difference but what will she do about the danger surrounding herself and others at the hotel? Book 2 is called Across the Years and book 3 is called Beneath a Harvest Sky. Looking at the main characters in book 2, it appears that it doesn't have a significant connection to this book and can be read as a standalone or out of order. Good Book!
