Description
All Holly wants for Christmas is to prove to her parents that her pricey college education was worth it. When she lands a reporting job in tiny Blue Lake, where the chill winds blow off Lake Huron all winter long, and a guest dies at a dinner party, she isn't sure she can meet that goal. Holly has a second writing gig as a true crime reporter in mind, but there's only one problem: the new love interest keeping her warm is determined she should not write about the one thing her heart desires.
Bob has one goal: to get his life back on track after a train wreck of a relationship with a fragile first love named Lily. Oh, it would also be nice to feel excited about work again. Not to mention Christmas. Holly’s new in town and she stirs something cheerfully seasonal in him, but when he realizes she’s willing to take down Lily for her own purposes, he decides a holiday romance is the last thing he needs.

Overall I enjoyed this book. Holly is working at the small town newspaper, but has aspirations of writing a book about a past violent crime. Bob, a local architect, was in love with one of the women from that crime. Sam, is a local cop, with a spooky vibe about him. When another man is murdered, the questions and confusion swirl around the town. I liked the story, and I liked the on and off again struggles of Holly and Bob. First book I've read though, so not sure of exactly what had happened in the past, and names are thrown out and hard to keep track of at times. Not a big distraction, but enough to cost a star in my rating. Still, I wanted to keep reading and see what happens, and enjoyed the book and author. Would highly recommend.
