If she has her way . . .
Willa Davis is wrangling puppies when Keane
Winters stalks into her pet shop with frustration in his chocolate-brown eyes
and a pink bedazzled cat carrier in his hand. He needs a kitty sitter, stat.
But the last thing Willa needs is to rescue a guy who doesn’t even remember her
. . .
He’ll get nothing but coal in his stocking.
Saddled with his great-aunt’s Feline from Hell,
Keane is desperate to leave her in someone else’s capable hands. But in spite
of the fact that he’s sure he’s never seen the drop-dead-gorgeous pet shop
owner before, she seems to be mad at him . . .
Unless he tempers “naughty” with a special kind
of nice . . .
Willa can’t deny that Keane’s changed since high
school: he’s less arrogant, for one thing—but can she trust him not to break
her heart again? It’s time to throw a coin in the fountain, make a Christmas
wish—and let the mistletoe do its work . . .
Willa Davis is many things; child of the foster system, animal lover,
pet boutique owner, trusting person and
great friend. But when Keane Winters; guy who stood her up for the Sadie
Hawkins dance!, walks into her store, all her good feeling is thrown out the
window, and then add insult to injury…he doesn't remember her! Which makes her
even more annoyed! But it doesn't stop her from boarding the beautiful Siamese
cat he has brought with him.
When Keane Winters walked into South Bark Mutt Shop, willing to do
anything to have her keep his great aunts cat for the day, he wasn't expecting
to see a stunning women…with a x-rated headband on her head, or the fact that
his great aunts angry cat, suddenly becomes sweet and loving, so he feels good
leaving her with Willa, now if only he could figure out why he can't seem to
stay away from Willa, or her band of slightly strange bff's, but he wants to
get to know Willa better, but doesn't know why she seems so dead set against
him.
But when the truth comes to light, Keane feels such remorse over an
incident he doesn't remember. But he is determined to make it up to Willa, if
only she gives him a chance…and I'm going to stop it there, as there is SO much
more to this story, but I'm not going to give it away.
So Jill Shalvis with another amazing book in the Heartbreaker Bay
series, and she has brought the hashtags with her! Yay!! Jill Shalvis is still
a new author to me (this is only the 2nd book I have read), but it's so
incredibly easy to fall in love with her writing style and amazing plot lines.
I don't think I have ever become addicted to an author and her books, as
quickly as I have with this authors.
When it comes to the characters, I absolutely love Willa and Keane;
from Willa's soft heart to Keane's determination, it is so very easy to love
these two! Now the other characters like Rory, Archer and Max, what's not to
love! They are all divinely messed up, that I cannot wait to read their
stories.
I give Trouble with Mistletoe 5 stars!
“You want
to come upstairs, Willa?”
What she
wanted was to put her hands back on his chest now that she knew it was as hard
as it looked. Instead she gripped either side of her seat with white knuckles.
“Of course not.”
“I think
you do. I think you want something else too.”
“What I
want,” she said as coolly as she could, “is dinner as promised.”
“Liar,”
he chided softly.
“Well
that’s just rude, calling your date a liar.”
“So it is
a date.” His tone was very male and very smug. It should’ve pissed her off but
instead it did something hot and erotic to her insides.
Clearly
knowing it, he smiled at her and then dragged his teeth over his lower lip as
he contemplated her.
Gah. She
wanted to do that. And she wanted to do more too. She wanted him shockingly
badly and suddenly she couldn’t remember why she shouldn’t. She tried to access
her thought processes on the subject but her brain hiccupped and froze. Which
surely was the only reason she let go of the death grip on her seat, slid her
fingers into his hair, and . . . brushed her mouth over his.
He didn’t move, not a single muscle, but when she pulled back, his eyes had gone dark as night, piercing her with their intensity.
He didn’t move, not a single muscle, but when she pulled back, his eyes had gone dark as night, piercing her with their intensity.
“Don’t
read that the wrong way,” she whispered.
“Is there
a wrong way to take it when a beautiful woman kisses you?”
