Mother's Day Inn

Rate this book
I had everything under control until I met Theo.

My life was simple, straightforward, and clean. I thrived in my career, improved daily at being a single parent, and disguised any not-so-ideal parts of my life pretty well.

Like the fact I carried more than a few insecurities my ex-husband left me with. The biggest being the simple notion that I was one of many options, and my idea of love was ridiculous.

I knew it only existed on the big screen or in the pages of books, but I still wanted it.

Still yearned for it. Still hoped that maybe, somehow, I’d find it.

Never once did I think I’d find it in the lifeguard nearly ten years my junior.

Theo plans to dismantle everything I thought I knew. He wants to rip down every wall I have and rebuild it with just four words.

Hey there! My name is Lee. I like to think of myself as a bibliophile who belongs to the Ravenclaw house.
I write romances that can sometimes be sweet and spicy or deadly and kinky. I'm a firm believer in happily ever afters and men who always make sure their woman is satisfied first.
When I'm not writing, I'm drowning myself in a good book, losing track of time on the Nintendo Switch with my kids, and laughing or yelling at one of my husbands practical jokes. (He likes to leave fake spiders and roaches around.)
Also, something important to note. I live off Chai and Dean Winchester.

5 redeeming stars for single mamas

"Olivia. I want everything from you. All of you. Every fear, hope, and dream.”
“Every smile, kiss, and orgasm. ”


Another Holiday novella, another win and another unhealthy obsession with a fictional man diagnosed. yay.

Synopsis :

Olivia is a thirty three year old single mother of a six year old little girl. She wants to spend the Mother’s Day alone and relaxed but little does she know that the hot and young lifeguard, Theo, has other projets planed for her.🤭

What we got:


An obsessed and patient younger man😌🤌🏼
“I merely want you to be just a fraction as infatuated with me as I am with you.”  
"She needed time. So, I waited."
s.c.r.e.a.m.i.n.g



Chemistry, chemistry, chemistry..🎶
" It’s as though the entire pool is vacant, only he and I in this impermeable bubble. The sounds become muffled and the people fade to blurs. It’s always hard to remind myself that this is probably how he makes everyone feel and it’s not custom to me."


A special bond between Theo and Lyn —the daughter—
"I didn’t expect to happen was to become attached to both of them. To find an indescribable amount of joy and pride in teaching Lyn, while slowly growing fond of Olivia’s company."

*Ps: i didn’t feel weird while he was calling her "mama" it gave me a lot of "Get in the car Elizabeth." vibes 🤭


*•*•*•*•*•*

~quotes:

"Her piece of shit ex must have done a number on her, causing her walls to be a lot thicker than I initially thought. Either way, a fucking canyon couldn’t keep me from her."

"I want you to be happy."

"Olivia is biting into her lip, a smile hidden under her teeth, while Lyn is bouncing on her heels, waiting for me. 
It only takes a second for me to know I could do this every day and not want to go a single one without them.”



~~~~~~
It’s a sacrilege these novellas are so short...🥲 rtc.

~~~~~
and finally im gonna devour it..

"The author is not liable for any attachments formed to the MCs nor the sudden desire to have someone perform certain acts that could lead to a pregnancy announcement"😭😭😭

~~~~~~
you telling me this goddess dropped another Holiday novella with a single moma and a reverse age gape? baaah, you bet imma drop everything to read it😚

Lilyya and Rae forced my hand!! And I really just need a book to take me out and make me happy RN! 🤞💙

YEAH! IT MADE ME HAPPY!!!! 4.5 stars!!

It's funny, it's sweet, and it's HOT!!! Really, really HOT! And yeah ok, that one-part you guys are talking about may be a little weird, but I have the cheat code, I'm a Latina girlie so being called mami is pretty normal, so I am pretending it's like that, and if you don't like it mind your business and let me be HAPPY!! 😜😂

"Every part of you belongs to me tonight and I can't wait to show you what being my obsession looks like."

"She has absolutely no idea how infatuated I am with her. How the fibers of my being have untangled themselves and have reaches for hers since the moment our eyes connected."

"I merely want you to be just a fraction as infatuated with me as I am with you."

"I want to consume every part of your day with thoughts of me. Each barren, mundane, boring part. All of them with shadows of my presence."

Thank you to my awesome girlies for the Rec!!! 🥰

3.5 “Open up for me, mama.” STARS

Thoughts:

I usually keep my novella reviews simple and short just like they are!

The Eeeeps:
-Chemistry 🔥
-Length 💜
-(His) Length (lol) 🔥
-Pacing 💜
-Tension 🔥
-Daughter Interactions 💜
-Spice 🔥
-Obsession 💜
-Texts 🔥
-Epilogue 💜
-Breeding/Mama Kink 🔥
-Sweetness 💜
-THE PIERCING (AHHHH!) 🔥
-Theo 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

The Icks:
-The amount of times he said mama. I get it, Theo! (Though you can do no wrong and I signed myself up for it lol)
-Future kid talk (It’s a me thing!)
-The need to use the word ‘hippocampus’ for why lol?
-Men calling their girl “Woman.”
-“your arousal” why do we have to call it that?

This was yet another reason to not sleep on Lee Jacquot as an author!! This was a delightful little read!

P.S. If a man doesn’t have a few year plan and obsession with you, is he even worth it??

Also when they have a filthy mouth but are gentle and not gentle when needed>>>


LOVED READING THIS WITH YOU, HUDA BABES!!! 💜💜💜

Paperback/Hardcover/Audiobook/E-book:

How did I discover this:

POV: (single or multi)
Multi - Olivia and Theo

Quotes: *mini-spoilers*

“Because the one I wanted wasn’t quite ready yet.”


“Every part of you belongs to me tonight,” he groans, moving so fast now, I’m almost dizzy. “And I can’t wait to show you what being my obsession looks like.”


“Such a good fucking girl,”


“You have piqued my interest since the moment I laid eyes on you. Since I saw you and knew you were the last woman I ever wanted to look at.”


“When I make you come this time, I want you to watch me. I want your eyes to witness me drink every last drop of your cum, and see how good you look dripping down my chin.”


“Because no one has ever wanted you as badly as me.”

3.5/5 ⭐
4/5 🔥

Call me a psycho or whatever but if my man doesn't call me mama or mami I'd be filling a refund✋

When he:
-Sets up a whole Mother day Inn just to get her attention.
-Adds more🌽movies to your list (just to spice things up...)
-Is so good with your daughter🤌
-Calls you mama🤌
-Has a mf piercing on his🍆
-Has a gentle and dirty mouth.
-Is young but sooo mature

LORD THIS. MAN.😭
I loved everything, the writing was immaculate, the spice scenes were so hot, the communication, the chemistry was okay for me. This honestly felt more like a book rather than a novella.

But I didn't very much liked there relationship? Idk it was just okay I mean I didn't feel things, didn't felt that passion, the burn for each other enough to care abt them.

I love Lee Jacquot's novellas so much and this was another small hit from her.

Thank you so much, Hanna boo for reading this with me. I loved to share every thoughts with you. And yes we did enjoyed it. So could I say our 'educational research' was a success 😏😉

"Open up for me, mama"

“I merely want you to be just a fraction as infatuated with me as I am with you.”

“Our souls know our mates when they see them, and if we’re ready to receive them, we’ll feel the pull.”

"Its nothing like attraction or simple interest. It's a visceral yank you can feel throughout your entire body, and no matter how you think you can ignore it, it consumes you"

"I want someone so obsessed they need to spill every damn drop of their soul into me when they climax"

“You have piqued my interest since the moment I laid eyes on you. Since I saw you and knew you were the last woman I ever wanted to look at.”

Why did I take so long to pick this up? I really have no idea, but I enjoyed every bit of this novella.

Mother's Day Inn is a reverse age gap romance that is funny, sweet, and spicy that had me wanting more.

Olivia is a thirty three year old single mother of a six year old girl, Lyn. She has plans to spend Mother's Day relaxing and being pampered at Carnation Inn. Theo is a twenty five year old lifeguard at the community pool and her daughter's swim instructor, and she has been pining over him for a few years. What she doesn't know is that he has also been pining over her and has different plans for her, and he's the one that set it all up.

“Olivia. I want everything from you. All of you. Every fear, hope, and dream.” He reaches behind me, turning off the water before taking the towel from the hook next to the door and wrapping it around me. “Every smile, kiss, and orgasm"

“Instead of having it set in your mind that tonight is about getting me out of your system, let it serve as proof of how bad I want to keep you.”

Okay, now I need to go read everything that Lee Jacquot has written! I absolutely loved the way Theo was obsessed with Olivia from the beginning until the end of the three years later epilogue. When Theo called her mama the first couple of times, he had me melting as well as how he was with Lyn. Looks like we are getting something around Labor Day, and I'm looking forward to it.

Oh my fucking gosh-

Have you ever witness an author getting better in everything each time new book releases? And have you ever feel the tremendous satisfaction and proud and bliss for witnessing it? This is what I'm feeling right now. I am so proud with Lee Jacquot and how much she has achieved by this book and how it was 180 degrees different in a good way than the last book.

Writing! The writing is fucking impeccable. I'm going to give a round of applause to her for really rectifying and really give more effort in writing. Ngl, I feel like she read my reviews and really listen to my thoughts on my previous reviews and ngl it made me feel so special. Although I know this might not be the case but one can dream, right? The writing is really growing. There were no talking in gibberish, there were no awkward transition between one topic to another, there were no talking non sense. This was a fucking bliss too read and I'm sure I do not need to review the sex scenes as Lee Jacquot is the fucking master of it.

The characters were fantastic. Oh how much I love Olivia, Lyn, and Theo. The synergy and chemistry they 3 have to each other was just fucking awesome. I really love that Lee Jacquot also put a lot more effort in character development especially in Olivia. It really makes me feel so much when I read about her insecurities towards Theo and it really speaks to me. I feel so connected to her and it was surprising because I have always talked that Lee's character development wasn't the best and I have never feel like this to her character that she wrote before. So another round of applause for Lee.

The plot was fucking simple and yet endearing. It's not boring although it was something I have read before, it's so simple but still hooking my attention to the story.

Listen, this is my first 5 stars for Lee and she has earned it. So 5 stars for this!! Ugh I love this so much!! I love it and it's going straight to my favorite shelf! 😩🤌🏻

ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ

Welp- nobody was telling me the queen of erotic holiday is back with another book- 😭
And tragically this book reminds me of how it's been a long time I read my last erotica book- I'm thristyyyyyyy😩😭
I will devour this shit immediately 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️

4 ⭐ Happy Mother's Day!

No matter if you're a bio-mom, adopted mom, sister, primary care giver or, like me, you're a dog-mom -if you identify as woman- today is your day! Women are always pushed into caregiver rolls, even when we might not want them. So for everyone, willing or not, happy day to you.

This book was fun, fast, dirty and not at all perfect... but then again who is? Did I like that the younger mmc called the fmc 'mama' while doing spicy gymnastics? Nope. It was cringe and awkward. Just as when a younger fmc calls the older mmc 'daddy'. It's just yuck to me. Am I aware that it is absolutely someone's k!nk? For sure. It's just not mine. The rest of this was fantastic actually. I'm kind of jelly - I want to go to a b&b for a mani-pedi and a massage w/ happy ending!

So yeah, this was a great time.
100% recommend if you're looking for a novella today!

Theo. Theo. Theo!!

This is a Mother’s Day spicy novella. Olivia is a single mom and Theo is the gorgeous 25 year old swim instructor to Olivia’s daughter. These 2 spend a little weekend away for Mother’s Day that Theo secretly coordinated for her to finally get her alone and confess his feelings. It’s giving boy falls first and so damn hard. He’s been obsessed with Olivia for years and waiting until she was ready - there has always been attraction and chemistry between these 2 throughout the years.

The spice in this was fückïng perfect so so good! He’s pierced which makes it fun! And he loves calling her mama but it’s like very hot i cant describe it. Oh and HE LOVES breeding 😈

This one was a pretty fast pace novella and some tropes I'm not to hyped about I'm not into reverse age gap or single parents. But it was okay.

Olivia married an older guy and well it didn't turn out well he was a workaholic and hardly in there childs life so she went on to raise her daughter and not date but she did have a crush on Theo the hottie lifeguard at the pool she went to. They had this attraction but in her mind what young 25 year old would want with a mom. As for Theo he's always wanted Olivia but timing wasn't on there side she's freshly divorced and he did his time waiting but he wasn't celibate...which made no sense why he dated other woman if he loved her at first glance?!?

These two had a getaway weekend he planned to get her alone and finally make them a couple. Massage and some porn Recommend was hot 🔥.


No ow/om drama (had her ex husband), No cheating, sexy times, no virgins (mentioned he dated other woman she didn't date at all)

I'm always excited when a new Holinights book releases. While Mother's Day Inn was more of a miss for me, I still enjoyed the single mom aspect of the story and the cute relationship between Theo (H) and Lyn (h's daughter). Olivia (h) was very relatable with her focus on being a parent and her concerns about dating, specifically a younger man (h is 8 years older), given the negativity her ex had filled her head with. Olivia knew Theo peripherally for years as he was a lifeguard at the pool and taught Lyn to swim. There was attraction there, but Olivia felt she imagined it and Theo was waiting for the right time to pursue her, which comes about on a Mother's Day where Olivia is treating herself to pampering for the night. Written in first person, dual POV. No ow/om drama and neither were virgins (some details given about each of their histories; H was not celibate since meeting h, but had no serious relationships either).

I really liked the momming moments here and the supportive female friendships that are briefly shown. Both Olivia and Theo were likable and their romance was sweet. He calls her "mama" as a pet name and I loved it. There was also one peek a year prior into an interaction they had that I liked. One element that I didn't connect with on this read was Theo's obsession with Olivia. We're told he's obsessed and when the line is crossed and he actively pursues her, he gives her his sole focus. But it's that time when he was waiting for the right moment to pursue the relationship that happened before this story picks up that left me questioning whether obsessed was the right descriptor.

Also, Olivia flipping from worried about taking a step with Theo to her reactions with their first couple steamier interactions felt off. Specifically the first time Theo puts his hands on her, she doesn't even blink. Yes she was decided on them exploring the chemistry, but given the situation (without spoiling), I was surprised at her immediate acceptance. Like the others in the series, this has a big dose of steam, plus Theo comes "equipped" with some bling (which honestly I was caught up on the details described trying to picture it until it was described better later). Even though Olivia and Theo had known each other for years, neither delved too deeply into details with the other, but it is acknowledged that they're just starting out, even if they were both committed quickly once feelings were admitted.

The epilogue is 3 years later with them married and adds some extra steaminess and a moment of family sweetness. There was something about the epilogue that bugged me slightly but still a cute ending with their HEA.

i never knew i needed a spicy mother’s day novella but dear lord, did i 🥵

olivia is a single mom trying out some self care for mother’s day by checking herself in to the local b&b. enter theo, the neighborhood’s hottest lifeguard who’s 8 years her junior and fully obsessed with her.

first, theo’s relationship with her daughter was so cute, i actually couldn’t take it. second, THIS FUCKING MANNNNN. he was sooooo obsessed with her and the lengths he went to to orchestrate them finally being together was unnecessarily cute.

118 pages of him being equally adorable and obsessed with her and also being absolutely filthy 🤪

Honestly, not as great as the other novellas.

The plot wasn't that interesting.
Even for a Novella this felt too insta love type and the smut wasn't as promising as I thought it'll be.

I really enjoyed this book. Lee Jacquots writing is incredible. Her writing just sucks you into the story. It’s so easy to follow.

I think I found a new favorite trope of mine; the single parent trope. I loved Lyn so much in this book, she was like the heart and soul of the family. I loved that Theo was completely obsessed with Olivia and had been pining for her for literally 4 years. Let’s not forget that Theo calls Lyn “ Little Beaver. “ Stop it’s so cute.

“Our souls know our mates when they see them, and if we’re ready to receive them, we’ll feel the pull.” 💜💜💜

Olivia is a single mom who longs for a meaningful and 🔥 exciting 🔥relationship, but doesn’t know if it will ever happen. She met Theo a few years ago when he was her daughter’s swim instructor and has been pining after him ever since…except that he is a few years younger than her.

Theo has also been pining after Olivia for awhile now and wants the chance to show her how he feels. When Olivia books a mother’s day retreat at his parents inn, he decides this is the PERFECT time to show her what she means to him. 🔥🌶️💜

This novella was hot and fun with the right amount of plot. I definitely recommend it 💜

I downloaded this book as soon as it was released, but it took me a while to actually read it because the single parent + older woman/younger man tropes aren’t usually my thing.

Happy to report that I really liked this! It was a cuter/sweeter than the other books in the Holinights series (this one and Cupids Peak are less focussed on a kink, and more on the MMC’s pining/pursuit of the FMC), but still had great sexual tension and a lot of spice.

The FMC’s flip from being wary to let’s do this/together forever was a bit jarring for me, so I would have liked a bit more something there, but overall I really enjoyed this.

“Every part of you belongs to me tonight,” he groans, moving so fast now, I’m almost dizzy. “And I can’t wait to show you what being my obsession looks like.”

I just…..that was hot….and so good. I’m always a fan of older woman romances, and this novella was perfection. Theo was a man obsessed. He knew what he wanted, and was ready to let Olivia know she belonged to him. She deserved all the affection, love, and HOTNESS that Theo gave her. Not only was he perfect for Olivia, but he was so adorable with her daughter. My ovaries sung the entire time I read this.

I now need to binge the rest of this author’s books, cause this was such a fun read to devour in a day!

Ehhhhhhh, this was alright. I think this is the only novella I didn’t like from Lee, but that’s okay!

I just really wasn’t a fan of the whole “mama” talk. It was very cringe and the way they talked in general to each other just gave me the ick.

The text messages were weird because even though they both secretly had feelings for each other, the dirty talk was almost immediate and he was extremely possessive without realizing how she felt.

But we all love a happily ever after.
