This book was a nice mixture of contemporary romance, mystery, and a smidgen of suspense.

Juliet Rose Astor Lowell has just moved to New Orleans to work on her father’s most recent acquisition in his hotel chain. The hotel is actually the former property of a high-society family, who are living in the home until an appointed time. Juliet’s father is interested in having her guarded, since she received some disturbing letters prior to her arrival in the city, so she’s assigned Sergeant Beauregard Dupree. Beau isn’t interested in doing any sort of protection work for the Boston socialite, so he doesn’t really take the job seriously, until some incidents start happening that change his mind: cut car breaks, historic bullets fired, etc. Of course, this wouldn’t be a fun Andersen story if there wasn’t some serious hanky-panky going on, and Andersen doesn’t disappoint.

Overall, a fun story with a light-hearted mystery to round everything out. Loved the side storyline with the Panty Snatcher and the funny New Orlean-isms.
