How the Hitman Stoke Christmas by Katie Reus
Holiday with a Hitman series #1. Holiday Romance, romantic suspense.
Elliana is not a fan of the Christmas holiday. Her neighbor seems to be the exact opposite with plenty of outdoor decorations. But it’s really his indoor decorations that Elliana is interested in. She’s been using her drone to spy on him and he’s given her quite an explicit show. Maybe she’ll take him a little Christmas gift so she can actually meet the hottie next door.
Theo Contos knows his neighbor is enjoying their little game of spying. Once he figured out she wasn’t planning to kill him, he wasn’t opposed to giving her a little show and hopefully he can influence her appreciation for the holiday season.

Steamy, amusing and not quite halfway to dark, this holiday novel was a joy to read. And since his entire family and neighborhood is “in the business”, I can’t wait to see what the next situation is that requires a Hitman rescue.
Theo has depth that’s revealed as the story progresses. He goes from single hot mystery man next door, to family man planning for the future. I expected a bit more steam from the teasing start. ( )
