The Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of . . . HOT WINTER NIGHTS (The Heartbreaker Bay, # ) . . . Molly was the glue for the office. We learned her story in the book before this one, About That Kiss. In that same book you find that there was a burning bite of lust in the eyes of Lucas. Lucas the co-worker to Molly's brother and Molly if you really have to see things in that manner. Molly had been hurt in the past both physically and emotionally, but in different ways for different reasons. She does not want those event to affect the way she carry through life, but they do. She closes off her heart to what could happen. She sassy, sweet, sexy, smart, and Lucas finds her to be what he wants. Lucas also finds that he too has closed off his heart. He soon finds that with Molly many doors open up and the adventure on the other side is most certainly more different than he expected.
There are characters you want to love. Others you just want more of. There past come to make them who they are today. Jill Shalvis gives you that contemporary romance that makes you believe in the magic of love. The chance of a forever. The chance of yes its really happening to me. I always, yes I said always, find me a romance that makes me feel good and hopeful.
I have spent time just before picking up this romance to read each of the books that came before it and I was able to follow the romance of the residents, friends, and family of this small little community made in one building complex of San Francisco. I found their varied journeys to be ups, downs, discoveries, and commitments. At times the time lines don't fit and others things just some to run together, but overall the series allow you to believe that romance can be found for each and everyone that wants it and even some that don't.

Who needs 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.

EXCERPT
“Tell me about your night. You know you want to.”
“Actually, it was over so fast, I can’t really remember.”
He gave a low, rather triumphant laugh and turned her to face him. “You haven’t yet once managed to look me in the eyes and tell me how bad I was. Here’s your chance, Molly. Give it to me.”
See, that was the thing. She did want to give it to him, quite badly. Naked . . . Gah. She really hadn’t seen this coming, but she deserved fun like anyone else, right? She looked at his mouth, desperately wanting it on hers. And then her body somehow mistook the fantasy for reality because she went up on tiptoes and . . . kissed him. Just a soft brush of her lips across his, gently and a little hesitant, but it was most definitely a kiss.
