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.

Review: Finally, finally, a book in the Heartbreaker Bay series that I could really enjoy. Almost all the others (except the novellas) fell absolutely flat for me. They were repetitive, boring in places and I couldn't connect with most of the characters.
With Hot Winter Nights, almost everything changed. There may still room for improvement, as there are some rather slow moving pages that could be spruced up, but overall Molly and Lucas make a perfect pair right from the start. The suspense part of the story actually brings in some suspense, there are a few hilariously memorable scenes and nothing in Molly and Lucas relationship sounds unrealistic or forced.
Hot Winter Nights is a great companion for any night, winter or otherwise, and I recommend it.
