A great addition to the Red Stone Security series. Featuring Travis and Noel this is a short story but full of action and romance. I received this ARC from NetGalley for an honest review.

This fourth book in the Red Stone Security series is a short and sexy story filled with fast paced suspense and romance. Travis and Noel’s attraction has been simmering for months as they slowly get to know each other. Travis was in the military and now works for Red Stone Security. He is big and scary but underneath all his tattoos and piercings, he is a protective, nice guy. Travis is the perfect person to help Noel with a scary situation. I enjoyed this intriguing holiday read and I thought Travis and Noel had a great connection and lots of chemistry.

I enjoy this series as well as her other books. This is about Noel and Travis he works for the Red Security, and has tattoos and piercing, and always try’s to keep to himself. While Noel is attracted to him, first they have a dangerous situation to combat first, then maybe their attraction.
Her’s are always full of adventure from beginning to the end. You fall in love with the characters.
Given ARC for my voluntary review and my honest opinion by Net Galley and K R Press

A great enjoyable read kept my attention from start to finish and I’d recommend reading it the author had a way with words that had me hooked can’t wait for more

From the very first chapter you are drawn into the suspense of this book. It’s a very fast read. I read it while my daughter was getting dental work done. It’s steamy and very intriguing. I liked this book very much!

It simple amazes me how an author can pack in so much information, excitement and romance in a few shot pages and have reader feel they almost read a full length novel.

If readers have read any of the Red Stone Security Stories this will be a fun addition to their collection.

A big thank you to NetGalley and KR Press, LLC for the book. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. I enjoyed the book. It is a very quick read. This is part of a series, but reads well as a stand alone. This is a sort of Insta love, although Travis and Noel have chatted in her coffee shop for months they had never been on a date! the book has a bit of suspense, which was a nice touch. Well worth a read 3.5 stars.

Miami, Mistletoe & Murder by Katie Reus is book Four in the Red Stone Security series. This is the story of Noel Baskov and Travis Sanchez. I haven't yet read the previous books, so for me this was a standalone book. Travis was Marine but now works for Red Stone Security. Not the friendlies looking person with his tattoos and piercings but that doesn't stop Noel from being attracted to him. Travis usually uses his looks to keep people at bay but with Noel he wants to pull her close. When he goes to finally act on his desire she is heading out into what is a dangerous situation. Travis goes with her and that opens up danger but also brings them closer together.
Really enjoyed this quick hot read!

ARC received for review

Great book. It was really short, but hit all bases. Travis and Noel were great together.

Miami, Mistletoe & Murder (Red Stone Security, #4) by Katie Reus I just love the Red Stone Security and all the heroes ....Thanks to the publisher and #NetGalley for letting reread this book. This is Travis (former marine Red Stone contractor a man with a past that haunts him and some very interesting piercings) Noel ( coffee shop owner...protective of those she cares for..has crushed on Travis since he first came into her shop) Add in a couple of bad guys, some violence, some laughs, a great piercing, steamy sex and you get to their Merry Christmas HEA>

Reasons I enjoyed this book:
Action-packed Funny Great world building Scary Page-turner Wonderful characters Happily Ever After Steamy Romantic Witty Entertaining Easy-to-read

Miami, Mistletoe and Murder is a short and sweet story that packs danger and romance! I love this series so much, but am still making my way through the backlist so I hadn't come across this yet. Travis is on mandatory vacation and decides to check in with his favorite coffee shop owner, Noel. These two have been crushing on each other for a bit but when Noel runs to help a friend, Travis steps in as well. There is plenty of danger, which this series is really known for, but I also liked Travis and Noel. They are kind and loving. The story is really quite short though, so I am sad to not have gotten more of them!

I really enjoyed this holiday novella. Travis and Noel make a great couple and their chemistry is red hot. Travis vows to keep Noel safe but that is easier said than done when he realizes that he's a target too. Action, suspense, and romance make this a great read!

The Story in 4 Sentences or Less: Noelle and Travis have danced around their attraction for months but before either of them can do anything about it, Noelle finds herself in a dangerous situation. Travis is determined to show Noelle that he’s more than just the guy with the bad boy image, he’s forever material and he wants forever with her.





Like It? Hate it? Love it? Why? Whether it’s a novella or a full length novel, Katie Reus knows how to tell a story. Miami, Mistletoe, & Murder has characters with chemistry, a dash of suspense, and a red hot romance that I loved from start to finish.


I love a good bad boy and Travis is exactly that. Big, tatted, and pierced in all the right places *wink wink* he possesses a good heart and a healthy dose of humility to go with that huge protective streak of his. One minute he’s putting bad guys six feet under and the next he’s being all gentle and tender with Noelle.

And Speaking of Noelle, I love her, she says what’s on her mind and doesn’t shy away from what she wants *cough* Travis *cough* but she’s also a hard worker and a genuinely caring person which is how she ends up in a dangerous situation to begin with. I thought she was the right amount of sweet and strong for Travis who definitely deserved someone who would worry about him and care for him since he’s always been used to taking care of people in his line of work. Overall, they were a nice couple that got their start off page and were working their way towards asking the other out when the novella begins.

Click It or Skip It? Click It. Miami, Mistletoe, & Murder may be a novella but it packs quite the romance in a short time.

Ahhhh.....

Sweet and sexy with action and drama. I couldn’t read it fast enough!

I voluntarily read an advanced copy.

I really enjoyed this little story that had a bit of danger and suspense as well as plenty of swoony hero goodness. I realized a long time ago that this author tends to do heroes just the way I like them and I’ve yet to be disappointed in one. The fact that Travis and Noel have known each other for about a year and that they’ve slowly been getting to know each better keeps this novella from feeling rushed in the relationship department. They have both been celibate for quite a while and Travis has only been with women he has a relationship with. That in itself is a great little Christmas treat! Add in the touch of danger that helps to showcase the protectiveness Travis feels, a piercing that only escalates the steam factor between these two, and a heroine strong enough to stand beside the hero and you’re set to go.

This is a voluntary review of an advanced copy.

I love those Red Stone guys!! Travis finally acts on his attraction to Noel and on his way to meet her, she is rushing to help a young girl. From there, they are together practically 24/7 and both admit that they were attracted to each other for a long time.

Along with the romance, there is the intrigue of a stalker looking to settle a score with Travis. I enjoy when there is a bit more than just a romance so I love the romantic suspense of this book.

A few cute things in the story - Noel is really her middle name as her mother named her Christmas - wow, that is pretty bad!!

Can't wait for the next book!

Short, sexy novella! Travis was awesome and Noel independent and sassy. The story moves fast, so there's not a lot of extras in this story, but fun nonetheless!

Noel Baskov, owner of a Miami coffee shop, has been mentoring a young girl named Juanita.
When Juanita calls her and is afraid for her mother who is being accosted by her boyfriend, Noel rushes out of her shop and in to the arms of Travis Sanchez. Travis is a former Marine and now works for Red Stone Security. He has just completed an assignment and was on his way to Noel’s shop. He has been attracted to Noel and knows that she is out of his league, but that doesn’t keep him from wanting to see her…talk to her. He realizes that she is upset and when she explains, he volunteers to go with her. Noel has been attracted to him as well and accepts his help with Juanita. Their relationship will progress quickly as they realize their attraction is mutual and Travis will be there for her when his actions put her in danger. A thoroughly entertaining and HOT novella by Ms. Reus. This is part of the Red Stone Security series that is a must read and must-read series. I received a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to give an honest review. (by paytonpuppy)

A book that was publish a while ago, but I was allowed to read through Netgalley. I found this to be a very quick read, which I read in one night. The pace was fast with action and with a good romance between Travis the Hero who is a former Marine who now works for Red Stone and is ordered to take a vacation. He immediately heads for the coffee shop that is owned by Noel for he wants to ask her out finally. When he gets there she is rushing out to go help a friend which he brings himself along. There begins the time the two of them will be with one another for a while due to what happens at the friend’s house. There are plenty of heated moments between the two main characters and a few lite moments as well. I found this to be a wonderful story and a very quick read.

5 - "There’s nowhere I’d rather be right now, than with you." Stars!

Katie Reus delivers yet again with the fourth book in the Red Stone Security series. Although a quick read, Miami, Mistletoe & Murder delivered all the aspects that I love about this authors writing

He looked at her and saw the future he’d always wanted.

Travis and Noel having spent the last few months sussing each other out on the attraction front are finally moving towards more than just casual acquaintances when Noel is called by the young girl she mentors, her Mother and ex are rowing and she’s scared for their safety. Travis, who is with Noel when she takes the call goes with her to see if he can help.

But the risk isn’t eliminated as was initially assumed and Noel finds herself indirectly in danger because of Travis’s actions on that night.

He liked seeing her off balance around him…

Quick, sexy, and likeable characters are all things I have used to describe this author work many times before, and the same can be said again with this book. Another winner, and one that can be easily read as a standalone.
