lOVED!

All it takes is a simple dose of reality when a rich daddy dies and leaves his only daughter "nothing" in his will. Think about how you would feel being spoiled all of your life, getting everything you want, not having the responsibility of a job or caring for a pet and then it all come to a halt with the reading of a will. I really enjoyed this first ready by Brandt and loved her writing style which always kept me wanting to turn the page to find out what was going to happen next. Love comes about in mysterious ways and will surely leave a smile on your face as you read the last page.

A Hilarious Ride that Will Keep You Laughing Til the End

Katya Morgan is the quintessential poor little rich girl in Brandt's latest romantic comedy, ROOM SERVICE. She's a jetsetting playgirl who's never worked a day in her life - that is until her father dies and she's left with nothing that she hasn't bought herself - which is, well, nothing. Alex Sheridan is the hardworking manager of the Royal Palmetto hotel, where Katya is staying. Of course, Katya can no longer pay her quite substantial bill. At the request of Jillian, Katya's `wicked' stepmother, Alex offers Katya a job - as a maid. Needless to say, comedy commences. ROOM SERVICE is a hilarious ride that you will be unable to put down. Underneath Katya's cold and calloused exterior are numerous layers, and she slowly evolves from a cold hearted spoiled girl to a sympathetic young women whom all readers will be able to relate to. Of course, this will take the love of a good man. *g* If you are looking for a fun summer read be sure to put ROOM SERVICE at the top of your summer reading list

"Room Service" Delivers Romantic Punch

Katya Morgan was raised to believe that money equals love. Sent away to baording school upon the death of her mother at age 10, her father has always been absent in every way but one. He's always provided her with every material possession that money can buy. And when he dies and disinherits her, even having her stepmother Jillian take back everything that his money ever paid for, Katya is not only devasted, but broke. When sexy Alex Sheridan, the general manager of the premier Royal Palmetto hotel in Arizona, offers her a job in the housekeeping department, Katya knows she's sunk to a new low. Once a guest, now a lowly housekeeper, Katys is truck with the realization of just how much money it takes to survive. Throw in a saboteur trying to take over Alex's job at the hotel, the hotel owners dimwitted son Chris, a slew of Alex's family, and a drooling dog named "Daisy", and you've got a story you're not likely to forget. I loved "Room Service". Whether it's due to the fact that Ms. Brandt obviosly did her research on the daily runnings of a hotel, or just the fact that the story is a wonderful one, "Room Service" is one book you won't be able to put down.
