Author: Lindsay Harrel
Publisher: Sunrise Publishing
Release Date: April 22, 2025
Genre: Contemporary Christian Romance
She’s fighting to save her island’s legacy. He’s here to secure his family’s future. When their worlds collide, will they build something lasting—or tear each other apart?
Dani Sullivan is determined to revive Jonathon Island’s fading charm and reunite her fractured family. Her plan? Reopen the Grand Sullivan Hotel, a once-impressive landmark that’s been in disrepair for a decade. But without the funds to restore the hotel, Dani’s forced to accept help from Liam Stone—a big-city hotel developer whose sleek, modern vision is everything she’s trying to avoid.
Liam has never been one for small towns or rundown hotels, but this project isn’t just any job. His father’s health is declining, and if Liam can prove himself by turning the hotel around, he’ll finally earn the chance to take over the business so his dad can retire. But Jonathon Island is far from the high-end luxury projects he’s used to, and Dani’s fierce dedication to preserving its history clashes with everything Liam stands for.
As they battle over the future of the Grand, Liam starts to see Jonathon Island as more than just another project—it feels like the home he’s never had. But with his responsibilities pulling him back to Los Angeles, can he really stay? And can Dani trust him with her dream—and her heart?
A lot rides on the success of this project, but when emotions run high, will Dani and Liam find a way to work together—or will their differences tear them apart?
On Jonathon Island, love and loyalty are the ultimate balancing act.

Contempory Christian Romance is a genre that I truly enjoy. Meet Me at the Grand by Lindsay Harrel is the lastest in this genre that I have read. It is Book 1 in the Jonathan Island series.
The storyline of this book is interesting from the very begining. The 2 main characters are Dani Sullivan and Liam Stone. Dani has always loved Jonathan Island and she is determined to revive the Island, in particular The Grand Sullivan Hotel. The hotel needs quite a bit of work after being closed for over a decade and Dani doesn't have the budget to complete to work. She decides to enlist the help of a big time developer, Liam Stone, to help her with the financial aspects of the renovation. Liam's vision is very different from Dani's vision and they immediately clash on several decisions. Jonathan's Island has special meaning to Dani and she really wants to get the Grand Sullivan Hotel reopened but keep the History and Value of the Hotel. Liam really wants the job to go well so that he can take over the Family Business from his Dad. I really LOVE that the pair realize that they are both stubborn and harboring things from the past. I think it was sweet when they began to be a TEAM rather then belittle one another. The sweet budding romance was also a special part of the book. The book is one of Trusting God, Family, Moving Forward and more. I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Contempory Christian Romance. GREAT BOOK!
