Hot Winter Nights by Jill Shalvis

Hot Winter Nights (Heartbreaker Bay, #6)

by Jill Shalvis

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 was into Molly and Lucas from the very beginning of this book, which was pretty funny. The banter between these two was fantastic, and no doubt, there was great chemistry, but there was a lot more to them then just their physical attraction.

Molly aspired to be an investigator for Hunt, but due to a previous injury, she was coddled and handled like fine china by all those in her circle. She just wanted a chance to prove herself, and it looked like that chance was going to come in the form of Lucas. He was supposed to be watching over her, but as their off-the-record investigation continued, he started to see what a competent and amazing investigator Molly was. He believed in her and support her pursuit, which was something that meant a lot to Molly. And, she was there in a more emotional way for Lucas. He was still suffering from some major losses, and these losses forced him to isolate. Slowly, Molly helps him open his heart, and reconnect with important people in his life.

Loved the hero. Loved the heroine. Adored the family interactions, and as always, it was loads of fun spending time with the Cow's Hollow gang. I also thought the suspense plot line was fun, and liked seeing Molly and Lucas functioning as a team.

Overall: Another great Heartbreaker Bay book that was the perfect blend of fun, romance, and suspense.
