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 The 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 readers everywhere.

A delightful must-read for lovers of historical romance." --India Holton, bestselling author of The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels

"Biller’s lush and atmospheric escape is dolloped with romance and the deep, complicated and sigh-worthy characters that always shoot her to the top of my auto-buy list." --Rachel McMillan, author of The Mozart Code

    This book has easily become one of my favourite historical romances. Diana Biller has created a luscious world with an eclectic bunch of characters that keep you guessing at every turn.

    There was rich historical detail as we were transported to 1800s Austria - it was a deeply enlightening on this era of History. I loved the incorporation of the journals of the 4 Wallner women at the start of each chapter.

    As for Eli and Maria… what a duo!

    Eli is a stern, sweet, cinnamon roll. I adored seeing him find his people in the least likely of places.

    Maria is a determined, strong, adoring woman. I loved reading about her bringing her hotel to life all while falling in love.

    The humour in the story was also excellent, particularly from the side characters. Josephine was brilliant and Eli, Mac and Claude were a delightful trio.

    I highly recommend this story for any historical romance lovers looking for a deeply romantic tale with a dash of mystery and family antics on the side…

    5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderfully charming historical romance with a mystery
    Reviewed in the United States on 31 October 2023
    I've been lucky enough to visit Vienna twice and even having gone in the 21st century, the majesty and romance still abound. Biller did a great job bringing the fantastical empire to life, near the end. I would love an epilogue or a sequel (Mac and Hannah?) but there's only so much time before WWI breaks out.

    Anyway, this was a very engaging romance with two fully realized characters. We get third-person dual POV from Eli and Maria, which is just the way I liked it.

    Eli's situation is very different from our usual broody heroes, and Maria is the perfect foil. She works incredibly hard and is very responsible, but she still knows how to enjoy life and how to love.

    I enjoyed watching them accept attraction, accept help, and discuss...sexy things. That was HOT. There are a few good scenes that are very well deserved. Nothing gratuitous because we have a mystery to solve and family dynamics to handle!

    2.0 out of 5 stars Thorough editing might have saved this one
    Reviewed in Germany on 22 September 2023
    Clearly, no editor had touched this manuscript. That the romance was a bit lackluster — ok. That there was no spark between the main characters — maybe not ideal. But why had no one looked at the many historical facts the author got wrong? (No, the Habsburgs did not rule since the 13th century, nor are they called HaPsburgs, for Christ’s sake). And what’s with the names?! An Austro-Hungarian aristocrat called Macario von Eder? A newspaper boy called Garit? A banker called Herr Kis? It would have been easy to get these right and shows a lack of care to get so many so wrong. Let alone that no one in strict Viennese 18th century raises a brow that the heroine is an unmarried illegitimate child in the 4th generation running a hotel on her own. Come on, do better.

    I was headed to Vienna and wanted a book to give some historical background. This read didn’t fully fulfill that purpose, but it was a great vacation read!

    5.0 out of 5 stars delicious, delightful, magical escape into the world of highly competent characters and glittering waltzes in Vienna!
    Reviewed in the United States on 11 April 2023
    Wow, what a way out of my reading slump! This has all of the catnip I could possibly put together, and I’ll attempt a more fulsome review soon. But this book made believe I can take chances on new books again.

    Maria, the lead, is driven, passionate, smart, and vulnerable. Eli, the male MC, is a workaholic punishing himself for his parent’s sins with all work and no play. They come together and their various jagged edges just for together. The relationship is beautiful, but rebuilding a hotel and planning a grand ball is even more fascinating.
