Carlotta Brentan narrates a historical romance set in the opulent city of Vienna. Maria Wallner must find a way to restore her family's hotel to its former glory, while Eli Whittaker must find out who has been selling top-secret American information across Europe. Their paths collide on New Year's Eve. Brentan captures Maria's bold determination, which is appropriate for a woman who has many obstacles to overcome, not the least are those she sets up herself. Eli is more reserved but no less determined, and Brentan ably portrays his quiet stubbornness. While it is refreshing for a historical romance to be set on the Continent, rather than in London, it is unfortunate that Brentan's accents for various characters are occasionally inconsistent or otherwise flawed.

It's ball season in Vienna, and Maria Wallner only wants one thing: to restore her family's hotel, the Hotel Wallner, to its former glory. She's not going to let anything get in her way-not her parents' three-decade-long affair, not seemingly random attacks by masked assassins, and especially not the broad-shouldered American foreign agent who's saved her life two times already...no matter how luscious his mouth is. Eli Whittaker also only wants one thing: to find out who is selling American secret codes across Europe, arrest them, and go home to his sensible life in Washington, DC. He has one lead-a letter the culprit sent from a Viennese hotel. But when he arrives in Vienna, he is immediately swept up into a chaotic whirlwind of balls, spies, waltzes, and beautiful hotelkeepers who seem to constantly find themselves in danger. He disapproves of all of it! But his disapproval is tested as he slowly falls deeper into the chaos-and as his attraction to said hotelkeeper grows. Diana Biller's Hotel of Secrets is chock full of banter-filled shenanigans, must-have-you kisses, and romance certain to light a fire in the hearts of listeners everywhere.
