About this eBook

She hates Christmas and everything that goes with it…

 

Explosives expert Elliana hates Christmas—and the only good thing about this holiday season is that her gorgeous neighbor seems allergic to shirts and clothes in general. She knows because she’s been watching him for months with her drone. She’s never stalked anyone before, but he not only doesn’t seem to mind, he puts on nightly strip shows just for her. When she finally works up the courage to talk to him, she stumbles right into a murder—that he’s committed.

 

But this holiday is one she’ll never forget…

 

According to Theo, the whole murder thing is no big deal—the dead guy needed killing. And while her hot neighbor wants her, protecting her is his main priority. So when she’s targeted, this cinnamon roll hitman kidnaps her for her own good. With a deadly threat hunting them and a hot hitman who keeps handcuffing her to him “for her own protection”, Elliana is starting to reconsider her grinchy stance on the holidays. And when everything finally comes to a head, the results are bound to be…explosive.

HOW THE HITMAN STOLE CHRISTMAS is the first novella in Katie Reus’ contemporary, adult HOLIDAY WITH A HITMAN romantic suspense series. This is hitman/ assassin for hire Theo Contos, and US Marine explosives expert/business woman Elliana Reed’s story line.HOW THE HITMAN STOLE CHRISTMAS can only be described as a ‘reverse’ grumpy-sunshine, holiday, romantic suspense novella with a little big of fun and lively interactions. The fast paced premise is captivating and exciting.

Elliana is an ex-marine & expert on explosives & uses her drone to spy on her hot neighbor Theo who is a hitman, she doesn't know it initially. She goes to his house to talk to him & appears upon a murder scene (Theo kills bad guys as a hit man). This was also funny & its the perfect start to read holiday romance. I really enjoyed this one. I received this book at my request & have voluntarily left this unbiased review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

This was a super cute reverse sunshine-grumpy romance decorated with a dash of action and suspense. I never thought I'd enjoy a grumpy heroine but I absolutely loved Elliana's disgruntlement towards all things Christmas. Especially because of Theo's determination to bring her Christmas cheer. I loved how he had "murdery" reactions when his protective instincts kicked into overdrive regarding her. This is a perfect read to kick off the holidays.
