There’s no way they’re sending my sweet, innocent sister to a secluded cabin in the mountains to have the baby of three big, bad mafia men. This is an elaborate scheme by my cruel and crooked uncle to reclaim the status the Moreno family once held in the underground world.
When I refuse to go along with his plan, my uncle threatens to burn our farm to the ground. I know what that would do to my sister, and I can’t let that happen. So, I come up with a plan and go in her place instead.
If I thought I would be negotiating my way out of the deal with three old men, I’m sorely mistaken. The heads of the Italian mafia are dangerously attractive, breathtakingly formidable, and simply won’t let me leave.

Snowed in with the Mafia was short,but very delicious,and gave me what i wanted. Alessia may have been young,and she may have been a virgin,but she was so very fierce when it came to her even younger virgin sister Gianna. Their uncle,his wife and daughter were lowlifes from the lowest shelf,and had forced themselves into the girls’ lives after their parents died. If it wasn’t for the fact that Gianna really wanted to stay on their late parents’ farm,they would’ve left,and not be in the position they were in now….. Which was,that their uncle and aunt had decided to sell Gianna’s virginity to the most powerful mafia bosses in exchange for money. That meant that Alessia was going to do it,because there was no chance in hell she’d put her little sister through that! And maybe,if she explained the situation,those 3 men would help them??? Without the actual taking of her virginity???
'They were expecting a docile woman whose virginity they were going to pay for once she bled for them. Not me. Not this farm girl with questionable fashion tastes and a mission on her mind.'
I loved this book. I was hooked to the story immediately and it was easy to hate Alessia and her younger sister Gianna's uncle, aunt, and cousin- who were scheming, entitled, and outright criminal. Alessia refused to let her virginal younger sister be forced to birth an heir for some dangerous mafia men just so that her uncle and his family could get status and money. Still a virgin herself, she volunteers to go in her place. I was literally seething for this situation, and salivating for the payback Alessia surely would rain down on them at some later point in the story. She was such a strong heroine.
I really liked Nico, Luca, and Vincenzo. The first sight moment between the four of them was powerful. The attraction mutual.
'My body tenses up more, as if I’m facing my greatest foe yet, and if I take my eyes off her, I’ll lose, and she’ll decimate me. Yet looking at her weakens me.'
I really enjoyed learning about these guys- in power by their skills and knowledge rather than merely inheriting the position. I loved their differing personalities. I was also fascinated by the politics of the mafia. How everything was resolved was a lot of fun.
My only complaint- and it's a small nitpick but it pulled my from the story- was this line:
“We’re not in the habit of unaliving women, but when it comes to Alessia, there are no exceptions.” I hate the "word" unalive. I understand it's slang, and I've seen it used on social media as censorship first to replace mentions of suicide or abortion, and then just for death and killing. But it just sounds like a fake word a teenager made up that people keep repeating because it's sounds "cool." So when it comes out of the mouth of a smart, respected, and feared mafia leader, whose worth is hundreds of billions of dollars, who has no problems torturing and killing... really? How am I supposed to take it seriously? The words killing or murdering are too much, so he says unaliving? As an English major, it made me angry lol Luckily it was towards the end of the story so I didn't have to dwell on it very long.
Rant over, but really- the right word can be so powerful, or destructive. Apart from that, I really loved this book. I was kept engaged throughout and it was suspenseful and fun. I wish we got to see a little more past the ending- especially with Gianna and Manny. Actually- I'd love this story from Gianna's POV. I'd love to see more of Manny and learn their romance because that would be such a good story too: a heroine whos had health struggles falling in love with a good man, only to have her cruel uncle try to sell her off and her sister takes her place. What goes through her mind at such a time? It would make a fun short story.
Alessia and her younger sister Gianna have been running the family farm since their parents died. Their mother died when Alessia was fourteen and their father died when she was seventeen. Alessia has been taking care of them for the last six years. Technically the land and farmhouse now belong to her Uncle Tony due to some stupid Italian mafia law.
Her uncle lost his own house in a poker game three months ago, so he moved in with his wife, Martina and their daughter, Bianca. Bianca and Alessia are both twenty-three now. Alessia has fought to make sure that she and Gianna are not treated like servants.
Her aunt and uncle have a new scheme. They want Gianna to produce an heir for the Falchi Family. They think binding Gianna to the Falchi Family will bring their family back into glory. The Falchi Family is the most dangerous mafia family around. Bianca can’t do it because she is not a virgin. Gianna has a heart condition and needs daily medication. Plus, Manny, who helps on the farm is in love with Gianna. To protect Gianna, Alessia agrees to go in her place since Alessia is also a virgin.
Alessia has a plan. She signs the paperwork the matchmaker gives her and travels by helicopter to a remote mansion in the mountains to meet the three men in charge of the Falchi Family. They are Nico Santoro, Luca Armano and Vincenzo Rosso. Shortly after Alessia arrives, the snowstorm outside gets worse and she is now trapped with the three men. They are not what Alessia expected.
I knew the interaction between Alessia and the three men was going to be interesting. I loved this story.

"Snowed in with the Mafia" is exactly what it promises to be—fast, filthy, and full of tension. Chloe Kent wastes no time throwing us into a seductive, high-stakes situation with a heroine who makes a bold sacrifice and three mafia men who redefine the word "dangerous."
The tone is dark, deliciously over-the-top, and unapologetically steamy. Alessia is a fiery lead who doesn’t just roll over—she pushes back, and that spark keeps the dynamic with her captors sharp and addictive. The pacing is tight, the chemistry explosive, and while the plot may be compact, the emotional stakes still land.
If you enjoy your romances intense, possessive, and laced with power play, this novella delivers. Don’t expect deep world-building or slow-burn development—this is pure, indulgent dark fantasy with teeth. I enjoyed reading it.

I must admit this is probably my favorite of the snowed in series so far. Oh these men fell and fell hard! Alessia was amazing. I loved how she was strong and determined and so loyal. She cared so deeply for her sister and when she fell she cared so deeply for her men. The men are completely possessive and more than willing to do whatever it takes to make her happy. The steamy scenes are steamy and good. Can’t wait for more!
I did receive an ARC from Booksprout and this is my honest opinion.
Snow melting hotness with a twist of danger and revenge
Snowed in with the Mafia is the fourth book in the Snowed in with Them series. This is a ripping hot RH romance between Alessia Moreno and the Falchi brothers, Luca, Nico and Vincenzo. This is a sizzling novella that packs some punches to the heart along with sets things on fire as one virgin meets three big, broody, built and sexy mafia men who all fall hard for her and will end up doing anything to keep her safe and give her what she wants.
Alessia’s aunt and uncle think they’ve won but have they? When Nico, Luca and Vince enter the picture things that a steamy turn. Read on to see what happens.

The Masters Nico, Luca, and Vincenzo have met their match in Alessia. She’s not what they were expecting and neither are they! And their road to discovery will be glorious!
This was not it.... DNF'ed multiple times although this is a short book.... FL is cringe 😬 and as she was the main POV it just made the book even worse... no 👎
