Hannelore Riker is a grad student with a dry sense of humor, a pathetic dating life, and little patience for grade-grubbing undergrads. She does her best to keep from falling for a guy who always seems ready with a witty remark, and she learns to deal with eccentric professors who play by their own set of rules.
Some reviews for Hannelore Takes Note:

About the author:
My parents always had great books on their shelves — classics, crime novels, comics, art books, histories, books from around the world — to discover. They also made sure that I put the books aside long enough to experience some adventures of my own, like chasing a hungry brown bear away from our camp with pots and pans, haggling in a noisy Turkish bazaar, and celebrating Christmas at a stately English home over a dinner of fish a la catsup and alcohol-soaked pudding.
What inspired you to write your book?
I’ve always liked romance novels with heroines who evolve during the course of the book. Authors like Jane Austen gave us interesting, compelling characters who are memorable partly, I think, because they aren’t “perfect.” With that in mind, I wanted to create a character who would learn something about herself and the people around her during the course of my book. I also think it’s hard to maintain a romantic relationship unless you have a clear sense of who you are and what you want. In my book, grad student Hannelore Riker is going through the process of figuring out who she is and what she wants, even as she is forced to deal with the eccentric professors and uninspired undergrads around her.

Tango Boat Dancers by Charles Frankhauser
From the earliest of times, leaders encouraged groups of people to accomplish difficult tasks. Issues associated with maintaining high levels of morale were critical to the success of the tasks at hand. During the 1930’s, an Admiral seeks advice from a psychologist in regard to maintaining high levels of morale among sailors serving long tours at sea. A male and two female naval officers lead a team in a clinical trial to determine the effectiveness of a doctor’s recommended cures to raise morale and cure homesickness.
A German U-Boat Admiral assigns a young officer to develop a plan to eliminate depression and homesickness among sailors on training missions near the American coast prior to WWII. The Admiral gives the officer no specifics in terms of how to develop a test plan based on a few remarks of a renowned psychologist in Berlin. The Lieutenant is assigned two female Lieutenants as members of his first command. The command is ordered to submit a test plan for approval based on the psychologist’s vague unclear remarks to his friend the Admiral.
One Lieutenant is the psychologist’s daughter; the other Lieutenant was a chorus girl with previous experience running an escort service for high-ranking party members. The male Lieutenant and the psychologist’s daughter are attracted to one another; the experienced escort member of the team guides the other team members in learning the basics of brothel management at a brothel run by her family in Hamburg.
A plan is developed to hire contractors from Hamburg to staff a boat designed as a treatment center for depressed sailors. A team consisting of three naval Lieutenants and five contractors travel by cruise ship to Key West, Florida to work undercover in a bar while conducting homesick treatment tests at sea during rendezvous with U-Boats.
Specific tests are ordered for each patient as prescribed from the psychologist’s office using shortwave radio from Berlin. The importance of validating the treatment theory is given top priority with unlimited support provided from the German General Staff.
