Synopsis (Goodreads):
Thank you for joining us at Gertrude Hunt, the nicest Bed and Breakfast in Red Deer, Texas, during the Treaty Stay. As you know, we are honor-bound to accept all guests during this oldest of innkeeper holidays and we are expecting a dangerous guest. Or several. But have no fear. Your safety and comfort is our first priority. The inn and your hosts, Dina Demille and Sean Evans, will defend you at all costs. [But we hope we don’t have to.]

Every winter, Innkeepers look forward to celebrating their own special holiday, which commemorates the ancient treaty that united the very first Inns and established the rules that protect them, their intergalactic guests, and the very unaware/oblivious people of [planet] Earth. By tradition, the Innkeepers welcomed three guests: a warrior, a sage, and a pilgrim, but during the holiday, Innkeepers must open their doors to anyone who seeks lodging. Anyone.

All Dina hopes is that the guests and conduct themselves in a polite manner. But what’s a holiday without at least one disaster?
Thoughts on Sweep with Me: I sincerely adore Dina and Sean and their dedication to their guests. Sean might be new to the Innkeeper gig, but he knows what it's like to protect and defend against overwhelming odds and my *heart eyes* are strong for them as a couple.

But this isn't just about Dina and Sean getting snuggly. There are also a couple of dangerous warriors and a gaggle of philosophers. One of those dangerous warriors is looking to close out a chapter of her life (for reasons that have nothing to do with what she wants) and the other is looking to start a new path in theirs. To say this group is varied in both customs and desired outcomes is putting things mildly.

That said, Gertrude Hunt, Dina, and Sean excel at finding solutions to seemingly impossible problems. They might be worn out from their last fight, but the inn is always open and they do what they have to do.

It's a big, bad, dangerous universe and the Innkeepers welcome all who agree to abide by the inn's rules. Love this world and these characters and the utter insanity they end up in the middle of time and time again.
