She never expected her first love to return, but is he here to stay?Īmelie St. Martin’s Press for gifting me a copy in exchange for an honest review.Diana Biller's The Brightest Star in Paris is a thrilling story of first loves and second chances. Pick up a copy from your favourite retailer or from one of the following links. Overall, Hotel of Secrets is an entertaining, intriguing, satisfying read by Biller that was a pleasant surprise with its exceptional character development, swoon-worthy ending, twisty, action-packed storyline, and unique setting that’s often not found in this genre. And the plot is an enchantingly scandalous combination of life, love, friendship, secrets, history, adventure, opulence, familial drama, wicked intentions, malevolent behaviours, tender moments, and delectable romance. The characters are resilient, independent, and resourceful. Hotel of Secrets is a passionate, compelling tale that sweeps you away to Vienna during 1878 and into the life of Maria Wallner, a hardworking, intelligent young woman who embarks on a mission to do whatever it takes to get her family’s hotel refurbished in time to host the illustrious Hotelkeeper’s Ball, even if it means that with all the mysterious mishaps, accidents, and lack of money she may have to befriend and ask for help from the frustratingly handsome, American secret service agent Eli Whittaker who seems to be on a mission of his own. 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. 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 has one lead – a letter the culprit sent from a Viennese hotel.

No matter how luscious his mouth is.Įli 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. 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. 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. During ball season, anything can happen, even love.
