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, this is one book you won't be able to put down. ( )

I love this author's writing, but boy, did she make things hard on herself with this one!

The prologue sets up the heroine as a spoiled rich girl whose father's just cut her out of his will. Suddenly penniless, she finds herself unable to pay a several-thousand-dollar hotel bill, and ends up taking a job in housekeeping at the hotel to pay it back and to save up enough money to hire a lawyer to break her father's will.

My only problem with this story is that I wanted more. I wanted to see more of her conflicted feelings about her father, more of her struggling to accept that she has to earn money at least temporarily, more of the developing emotional connection between herself and the hero, the manager of the hotel. I get that it's a light story, so you don't want too much angst, but this author's pulled off that feat before, so I expect more. ( )

From BackCover:
Maid service was something she required…
Jet-setter Katya Morgan believes that love comes in gilt-wrapped packages tied with neat red bows. So when her father disinherits her, her first priority is to get her money and cushy life back. Meanwhile, having no way to pay the enormous bill she racked up at the Royal Palmetto hotel in Scottsdale, Arizona, poses a slight problem--and the manager has the gall to suggest the unthinkable: that she pay off her debt by work at the hotel--as a maid...

Not something she ever expected to provide!
Alex Sheridan, the hard-working general manager of the sumptuous Royal Palmetto hotel, doesn't much care for the spoiled Ms. Morgan--at first. But when she dons the uniform and proves her mettle as a housekeeper who cares about more than cold, hard cash, he begins to change his mind. He's got plenty to distract him when a rash of disasters befalls his beloved hotel -- disasters that could be the result of a saboteur. It isn't long before Katya finds herself in imminent peril just as Alex is starting to fall for the once-spoiled brat who's acting more and more like a real woman every day... ( )
