BLURB:
Christmas on Catalina Island–it’s just what the doctor ordered.
Injured in the line of duty, FBI Special Agent Shane Donovan is longing for a few days of peace and quiet. Some nice meals, a couple of good books, and maybe a bottle of the best. No family, no friends, no Fa la la la la…just a little time on his own to think things through.
But an offshore storm, a geriatric treasure hunter, and the guy who dumped him without a word two years earlier are about to unwrap all Shane’s carefully laid holiday plans.
REVIEW:
This is a cute, fun little short that delivers the goods. And seriously, how can you resist a Christmas story with a MC whose name is Linus?
Shane heads to Catalina feeling a bit lost and bumps into “Norton” his fling of two years ago who disappeared into thin air. A bit of animosity, a bit of longing, a winter storm and a suspicious neighbor all add up to a delightful read from Lanyon. It always amazes me how quickly she can pull you into a story that has you shaking your head that it is over too soon. I recommend this one.This is a cute, fun little short that delivers the goods.

Josh Lanyon has a way of drawing you into her stories very quickly. Her heroes are always forthright and steady and incredibly likeable. And Shane is no different. You feel how frustrated he is at his integrity being questioned and how hurt he was at being dumped without a word, even though he insists it was just a fling. Linus is an enigma. He unfolds as you go along and you discover his regrets and hopes as Shane does.
The writing is fast paced and at the same time involved. Anyone who is a fan of Lanyon’s work will enjoy this one.
