Birdie s a girl on a mission. Start a new job at a fancy hotel, look for some interesting mystery to solve and try to block out the disastrous one-night-stand that happened a couple of weeks ago. Of course no plan survives contact with the enemy and on her very first shift she encounters Daniel - the other half of the one-night-stand, working at the same hotel and on the same shift. Before Birdie can figure out what do do, Daniel has drawn her into a mystery with a proposal to investigate a reclusive author who has been rendezvousing at the hotel. As Birdie and Daniel work together to solve the case, they will learn more about each other than they ever thought possible.

I really enjoyed this book. Even as you read about Birdie's struggle with her health issues, her family issues and her relationship with Daniel, you can't help but root for her. Daniel is an equally believable character - flawed yet sweet with secrets of his own. This isn't a fluffy teen romance - though there are some romantic elements of course - it's a story about figuring out who you are and who you want to be. As Mona would say - be a gusty gal.
