Catchup with the Lost and Found Crew! Nate and Kay and the baby are hoping for a company reunion at Christmas. But when a call comes in from an old friend needing help, they pack up the RV, grab some guys and head into the fray!!!

Clay has never really gotten over his lost love. When she returns to town to sell on her family ranch, they reconnect and the chemistry that never really died resurfaces at a fast pace. 

Paige AKA Carol has committed career suicide and didn't verify facts. She will never be that gullible again. She was never committed to the family ranch as she always thought her sister and her husband would be there to take care of it. But after his death Sue Ellen is off to a teaching post. But when they find out the corporation they are selling to has pulled some sneaky manoeuvres, they decide to halt the sale and suddenly they are beset by "accidents".

Clay and Penny are young love who never really broke up, just drifted apart. They are both mature adults now and know what they want. The spark between them is bright! I loved meeting up with the L&F gang and I'm now totally in the holiday spirit!!

Totally Addicted to Reading

A HELLUVA HOLIDAY by Jerrie Alexander is a short holiday read, featuring the members of Lost and Found Inc. In this installment, the members come together during the Christmas season to assist Clay Hudson, a lifelong friend of Nate Wolfe. Clay sought Nate's help because the woman he loved and her sister had unwittingly engaged in a business deal with the notorious drug lord Carlos Vega. 

For a short read, character development was good. I was able to establish a connection with Clay and Carol. It was fun watching their interaction. I was glad to see them coming to terms with their feelings and accepting that they truly belong together. 

This installment packed a punch for such a short story. It was no less than what I had come to expect from the author. There was action, mystery, and romance. It was a page turner that kept me on the edge of my seat, that was until I got blindsided by the manner in which the story was wrapped up. 

The ending was disappointing, to say the least. After such a buildup I was expecting a lot more. Instead, I was left hanging. There were issues surrounding the investigation that had not been resolved, which left me with more questions than answers. 

VERDICT 

The story had the potential to be a five-star read, but due to the issues mentioned it fell short. Overall, it was not a bad read, the plot just needed some tightening up. It leaves one to assume that the author was in a rush to meet a deadline and not much attention was given to the ending. 

If you are looking fun and short read and don't mind the issues mentioned, then you will enjoy A HELLUVA HOLIDAY.
