This is the sixth book in the Heartbreaker Bay series and like the previous books, it is a standalone read. Having been introduced to the main characters in the previous installment I hungrily gobbled up their story, as I was eager to know what made them tick.
I loved the fact I had the chance to reunite with the characters from the previous installment and to enjoy their meddlesome antics.
From the beginning, I knew I would be in for a treat. Lucas who is recovering from a GSW got the shock of his life when he woke up to find a woman in his bed. To top it all, he had no memory of how she got there. Then to make matters worse she turns out to be his co-worker and sister of his best friend. How did Molly, reach in his bed? What made this situation hilarious was Molly’s decision to make fun of it and poor Lucas did not know what hit him.
Molly has gotten bored with her job as office manager with Hunt Investigations. What she really wants to do is fieldwork, but neither her boss nor her brother was on board with her desires. Therefore, when her senior citizen neighbour approaches her about shady happenings at the Santa Village she saw this has an opportunity to prove herself worthy of being an investigator. Molly’s hang-ups with her looks came from emotional and physical scars she has borne since the age of fourteen. Lucas too has had his share of pain stemming from loss. Therefore, they both had serious emotional baggage. I loved Lucas and Molly. I thought they were perfect for each other even though they frustrated me with their push and pull behaviour. It was a relief when they finally got their act together. Molly took a long time coming to her senses. The facts surrounding the case proved interesting and ended up being dangerous for the parties involved. Molly got the chance to shine and for the men she work with to take her seriously as an investigator.
