“You about knocked me off my feet the first time I saw you. I had some very dirty thoughts about what I’d like to do to you behind the coffee bar.”Oh. Well, ____. “Same here, well, minus the dirty part. I’m sure my fantasies are a little tamer, but you were impossibly sexy and all mysterious looking. Always wearing those dark suits which seemed at total odds to the tattoos peeking out. I couldn’t figure you out.” And she still hadn’t.“You still think I’m sexy?”Now she snorted. “Still? How about even sexier. Every time I look at you…” She trailed off, feeling self-conscious. She hated playing games and she’d spent enough time around guys to know they hated it too, but just laying everything out there without any pretense made her feel vulnerable.“You gonna finish that thought?” he asked as they reached her car, his expression open and hungry. For her.Biting her bottom lip, she looked up at him. Screw it. Honesty was the best policy, right? “I get wet.”Former Marine and full time bad-ass Travis has been lusting after the owner of the coffee shop he goes to, Noel, for a while. Noel gets pulled into a potentially dangerous situation and Travis is there to assist. Unfortunately, they aren’t completely out of danger yet. Good thing Travis is there to protect Noel and while he is...he doesn't hesitate to get his girl!I really enjoyed this story. It is well written and I liked both characters a lot. I especially liked Travis. He is my favorite type of hero! Not only a former Marine, but covered in tattoos and has a very “interesting” piercing...Who can resist a hero with an apadravya? Too good to be true, ha. He's also not afraid to put the moves on Noel in a very public spot. No worries, no one could see, but the scene was pretty hot! There is a nice buildup of steam despite the shorter length of the book and I thought the romance was done perfectly.Miami, Mistletoe & Murder is the perfect shot of holiday romance and romantic suspense. The book is listed as the fourth in the Red Stone Security series and can be read as a stand-alone. I’ve read other books in this series and liked them but this one is my favorite so far. If you're looking to read a shorter novella, I'd definitely recommend checking this one out.Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
