exciting holiday romance

DEA agent Sara Hanrahan returns to her hometown to investigate potential drug trafficking. Sara works undercover so she cannot share her mission with anyone even though she would like to shout how far she has come from living down her father's crime and an estranged relationship with her mother.Deputy Nathan Roswell still receives family pressure to forget this childish cops and robber middle class job and join one of the companies they own. However, Nathan refuses to accept a soft desk job because he likes what he does. Nathan finds himself interested in the mysterious Sara in both a professional and personal way though she avoids him as if he had the plague. He plans to find out why, unaware that his actions could place both of them in danger. Though the attraction between them is strong, Sara still plans to leave town when the job is done.OPERATION: MISTLETOE is an exciting holiday romance that emphasizes dysfunctional family relationships. The story line captures the audience's attention because like Nathan, readers will be intrigued by the independent confident Sara. Though there are too many secondary subplots that introduce apparently future characters, fans of contemporary romance with a sprinkle of a police procedural within the plot will want to read Roxanne Rustand's enjoyable tale.Harriet Klausner
