mistletoe?
Most people
wouldn’t think of a bad Santa case as the perfect Christmas gift. Then
again, Molly Malone, office
manager at Hunt Investigations, isn’t most people, and she could really use a
distraction from the fantasies she’s been having since spending the night with
her very secret crush, Lucas
Knight. Nothing happened, not that Lucas knows that—but Molly just wants
to enjoy being a little naughty for once . . .
Whiskey and
pain meds for almost-healed bullet wounds don’t mix. Lucas needs to remember
that next time he’s shot on the job, which may be sooner rather than later if
Molly’s brother, Joe, finds out about them. Lucas can’t believe he’s drawing a
blank on his (supposedly) passionate tryst with Molly, who’s the hottest,
smartest, strongest woman he’s ever known. Strong enough to kick his butt if
she discovers he’s been assigned to babysit her on her first case. And hot
enough to melt his cold heart this Christmas . . .

I've read the Heatbreaker Bay series from the beginning and I loved this installment.
Molly is a character that has been a fixture in the series and it was a pleasure to get to know her better in this book. Lucas fits the Shalvis hero mold of Alpha with a little sweet. These two are coworkers, with Lucas being partners and friends with Molly's brother, Joe.
Ms. Shalvis created a fun twist to the scenario by adding an element of mystery and intrigue. This let us get to know both Molly and Lucas as the stretched their boundaries and perceptions of each other and gave us a front row seat to their growing emotional connection.
This is the 6th book in the Heartbreaker Bay series, but it is very much a standalone. Ms. Shalvis has mastered the art of community building so that loyal readers are pleased to see previous couples, but new readers aren't lost or confused by the large secondary cast. Speaking of the secondary cast, the group here is a lot of fun. Lucas' family is a pleasure to get to know and their friends are supportive and funny as always.
Hot Winter Nights is book that will be a treat for loyal Shalvis readers and new fans alike. I am looking forward to seeing where this series is going next.
