Poppy Wyatt is having a very bad day. First, her antique engagement ring disappears during a fire drill at a hotel champagne tea. After searching and contacting the police and hotel personnel, Poppy leaves the hotel to regroup and decide how to tell her fiancé about the mishap. Before she starts dialing, her phone is grabbed by a youth on a bike. Now, even if someone finds her ring, they won't be able to contact her. She goes back into the hotel to explain her newest problem. While waiting in line, she discovers that someone has thrown away a perfectly functional phone in a nearby trash can. Finders, keepers, Poppy decides. When the man whose PA tossed the phone calls and demands that she return the phone, Poppy negotiates a deal. She'll forward all his business and personal items if she can use the phone and number to try and get her ring back and keep her wedding plans on track. What could go wrong?
A fluffy and fun romp of a story. Poppy seems quite ditsy at first, but she grows on you. There were a couple of times I was very moved by her plight. A nice change if you've been reading heavier things.
