Tired of Lucy, this series has just gotten sappy
Written in different style than the other books, this one almost feels like an in between book that celebrates Christmas rather than one that stands alone. It was good, not great. It did give you more insight to the entire Kinkaid clan and that was good.
This book contains three novellas which tie together nicely in the end. The whole Kincaid clan is making their way home to San Diego for the Christmas holiday. Patrick Kincaid's mother asks him to stop in San Francisco on his way home and check on their neighbor's daughter, Gabrielle (Elle) Santana. It doesn't take long for Patrick to find Elle and get embroiled in a mess that includes human trafficking and people shooting at them.
Lucy Kincaid and Sean Rogan are stuck in a Denver Hotel along with Dillon and Kate when a body is discovered. Since the roads are closed due to a blizzard, Lucy and Kate decide to start an investigation until the police arrive.
In San Diego, the Kincaid family patriarch, Pat Kincaid, suffers a heart attack and is rushed to the hospital. When Carina Kincaid stops in to check on her father, she finds herself taken hostage by a gunman along with three nurses.
I found each of these stories to be entertaining and fast moving. The only part of the book that I did not care for was the character of Elle who I found jumped from one dumb decision to the next. She needed to use her brain. I enjoyed seeing so many characters from Allison Brennan's previous books. My rating: 4 Stars.

Although this is one book, it contains three separate mysteries which eventually tie together. Patrick is sent to San Francisco, by his mother, to rescue Gabrielle Santana. Sean Rogan and Lucy Kincaid, along with Kate Donovan and Dillon Kincaid are stuck in Denver due to a snow storm, and are involved in three murders. All finally get to San Diego where Colonel Kincaid is in the hospital and Carina is being held hostage.
All-in-all this is the best of the series that I've read so far.
