***The Snowed In Collection is a complete duology that contains two novellas that feature different main characters, but have an underlying subplot. Snowed In with My Captors ends on a cliffhanger that is resolved in Snowed In with My Bosses. They must be read in order.
Snowed In with My Captors
I'm used to being trapped by dangerous men, but these two are different ...
My father thinks he can marry me off to some Bratva pakhan to build his own strength. Not a chance. I'm off to find my runaway sister so we can both hide from our dreadful bethrothed forever.
Unfortunately, my escape effort has hit a literal bump in the road, so now I'm stranded in a ditch in the middle of a snowstorm, alone.
The obvious solution is to backtrack to the cabin I saw and find help. But that cabin contains two very hot men who are less good Samaritan and more bad, bad news.
Now I'm their hostage—and I've seen too much ...
Snowed In with My Bosses Blurb
Rookie mistake #1: Don't hack a hacker.
It's incredible what people will tell you when they're turned on. Working the Sulla brothers' club is about more than the tips for me—the elite of NYC are loose-lipped about their bank accounts, and that's all the permission I need.
A few dollars here, a few dollars there, and I'm just one cash injection away from ensuring my sister and I never have to marry within the Bratva.
Admittedly, stealing underneath my scorching hot bosses' roof is risky, but I figure I'll be long gone before they find out.
Except, they're better than I gave them credit for. And now I'm their captive in some out-of-the-way mountain cabin where no one can help me ...
T. Priceton is an indie author who writes contemporary and "diet" Mafia romance with feisty heroines and alpha men. Suspense and darker elements are a favorite of hers and you're bound to find both in her books. But, don't worry, she offsets the dark with lighthearted banter and humor between characters.
She currently lives in Colorado with her husband and kids. When she isn't writing, you can find her reading a romance novel, eating an açaí bowl, or binge watching a reality show.
It was a fun, quick read and I enjoyed it for what it was! Nothing too crazy, just some good spice, although I do wish the dialogue had been a little less repetitive because it kept pulling me out of the story
Extra half a star because one of the FMCs works in tech 💅🏻
What better way to spend time stuck in a cabin than with two hot men, times two novellas!
The Snowed in Collection is two novellas in one volume, following two sisters and their journey to be reunited before the younger one is forced into an arranged marriage with a man thirty years older than her. In the first book, we get Katya’s side and her finding happiness with Leo and Dante, who are a part of the Italian Mafia. In the second book, we get Anastasia’s side, trying to make it back after being gone and finding happiness with her bosses, Caspian and Cassius.
This book makes sense that the two novellas were put together as one, as some of the second book overlapped with the first, but also some of the second was hinted at in the first. I loved how determined the sisters were in finding each other, and somehow both were using fake names at the beginning of their journey. Though Anastasia was using hers for much longer, and I wonder how they explained that once they got back to New York if she kept working for her men.
I received an advance review copy from The Smuthood Promo, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
With the colder days settling in, this book turned out to be such an enjoyable read! It's a combination of two connected novellas centered around Katya and Stasia, two sisters trying to escape the lives chosen for them, and four men who make their already complicated situations a whole lot more interesting. Add secrets, danger, snowstorms, Mafia business, and plenty of heat, and you've got a story that's easy to get lost in.
Katya's story kicks things off when she refuses to accept the arranged marriage waiting for her and sets out to find Stasia, who has already disappeared in search of a life of her own. Unfortunately, running away in the middle of a snowstorm isn't exactly the smartest plan, especially when she crosses paths with two men and discovers something she was never meant to see. Stasia's journey takes us through both her past and present, revealing the sacrifices she's made to secure a better future for herself and her younger sister. Just when she thinks she's getting somewhere, the people she's been trying to escape catch up with her. Both women have their own battles to fight, and I loved how their stories came together while they struggled to find their way back to each other.
What really worked for me was the sisters themselves. Katya and Stasia have their vulnerable moments, but neither of them is willing to give up when things get difficult. They make mistakes, feel fear, and find themselves in situations they can barely control, yet they keep pushing forward. I enjoyed seeing them discover what they wanted for themselves rather than simply accepting what others had planned for them. Their determination made it easy to root for both of them.
And then we have the men! Cassius, Caspian, and the other men in these stories bring plenty of attitude, danger, and trouble with them. I particularly enjoyed the contrast between their intimidating personalities and the way they gradually let their guards down around the women they fall for. They aren't exactly soft-hearted gentlemen from the beginning, which makes those moments when their protective and affectionate sides emerge all the more satisfying. The romances have that delicious mix of tension, attraction, and forced proximity that works so well in this kind of story. Being trapped together by a snowstorm certainly doesn't hurt when the chemistry is already there!
The spice is definitely present, and these novellas don't shy away from it. The intimate scenes fit the passionate atmosphere, although I did wish Cassius and Caspian's encounters had offered something more distinctive, especially given their connection to the sex-club world. Some of those moments reminded me a little too much of what we experienced in the first book. I would have loved to see their particular lifestyles reflected more creatively in those scenes.
Beyond the romance, there's enough going on to keep things moving. We get Bratva and Mafia complications, hidden truths, tense confrontations, a touch of interrogation, and two couples trying to figure out their feelings while everything around them threatens to fall apart. The writing makes this an uncomplicated, quick read, but there is still a storyline underneath all the steam. I never felt as though the plot existed solely to connect one spicy scene to the next, which I appreciated.
I also liked the way the two novellas were woven together. Following both sisters gave the overall story more depth, and seeing their separate experiences intersect made the book feel connected rather than like two completely unrelated romances bundled together. Honestly, I'd happily spend more time with Katya and Stasia, and I think both stories could have been expanded into full-length novels with plenty of room for further character development and more detailed plotlines.
My biggest issue was the resolution. Everything seemed to come together a little too conveniently, particularly when it came to their father and how readily he gave in. Considering the circumstances and everything the sisters had been through, I wanted that confrontation to carry more weight. A slower build-up, greater resistance, and a more substantial final showdown would have made the conclusion feel much more earned. I also felt that the cliffhanger at the end of the first book hinted at developments that never quite materialized to the extent I expected, leaving me wanting a little more from the payoff.
Still, these issues didn't ruin my experience. I had a genuinely good time reading both novellas, and the combination of wintry isolation, dangerous men, determined women, complicated family ties, and scorching chemistry made for an entertaining escape. The setting gives the stories a chilly atmosphere, but the romances bring more than enough warmth to balance it out. And thankfully, despite taking place just weeks before Christmas, this isn't one of those overly sweet holiday romances where everything revolves around festive decorations and picture-perfect celebrations. There's far more trouble brewing here!
Overall, this was a fun, steamy, and engaging double read that delivered exactly the kind of dramatic romance I was in the mood for. While I would have preferred a more convincing ending and some fresher ideas in the intimate scenes, I enjoyed the characters, the interconnected storylines, and the fast-moving plot. If you enjoy Mafia romances featuring stubborn heroines, possessive and dangerous men with hidden soft spots, forced proximity, and plenty of spice, Katya and Stasia's stories are definitely worth checking out.
4⭐️ 2🌶️ 🖤Mafia X Bratva ❄️MFM 🖤Secret Identity ❄️Forced Proximity 🖤Suspense ❄️Multi First Person POV
This is a light holiday read, that’s cute, spicy, with a touch of danger. Two sisters, Katya and Anastasia, leave home to escape a life neither of them wants. They are both trying to find the other when they get snowed in with men that turn their world upside down. There’s plenty of secrets and heat in this snowstorm. This is a quick and entertaining read that will keep you turning the page. I enjoyed how their individual stories overlapped, tying everything together. Although, their situations with their men were a little too similar and some of the dialogue felt repetitive, I loved these stubborn sisters and their morally grey men. The forced proximity lead to great banter, steamy spice, and the perfect amount of tension. Also, who doesn’t love men who are instantly obsessed and protective? However, the pacing of how their relationship developed happened so quickly that I was missing a deeper emotional connection. This is a perfect read for anyone looking for heat, tension, and a dash of danger.

A Few Favorite Quotes: “Surely, I can’t be interested in the men who are holding me captive. Especially both of them? I mentally shake that ridiculous thought out of my head.”
“Even better than I imagined. Just wait until you get a taste of her, Leo. She’s like heaven mixed with hell’s fire.”
“I knew your mouth would be a sinful one.”
“Is that right, little hacker? Are you already drenched, ready for your bosses to f_€k you the way you deserve to be f_€ked?”
“F_€king hell,” he moans out. “Just wait until you get a feel of her tight pu$$y. It should be a f_€king sin.”
I had such high hopes for these connected novellas and was so excited to read these stories. Unfortunately, even though I made it through, the writing and how the stories went just weren’t for me.
The Snowed in Collection is two mafia holiday romances in one package. The first book ‘Snowed in with My Captors’ features Dante, Leo & Katya, wile the second book ‘Snowed in with My Bosses’ features twins Cassius & Caspian and Katya’s sister Anastasia.
On the heels of her college graduation, Katya is set to marry a much older man in an arranged marriage, but she decides to escape and attempt to find her sister. She finds herself stuck in a snow storm and puts her car off in a ditch. She remembers seeing another car turn off a bit ago so she sets off to find the driver to get help.
What she doesn’t expect to find is two men dealing with something she definitely shouldn’t have seen which results in her being held captive until they can figure out what to do with her. Leo & Dante are determined to figure out what brought her out in the storm and how she found them, but things quickly heat up between them.
When her true identity is revealed, will Leo & Dante be forced to deal with her?
Anastasia was also set to marry the same man as her sister before she fled to make money and find a way to reduce her sister before shes forced to marry. She finds work with Cassius & Caspian and quickly moves up the ladder of their business,
When they offer her another promotion, she accepts even though she plans to stepl money from them and flee town. Unfortunately for her Cassius & Caspian are hackers and catch on to her quickly.
They follow her to a remote town and take her to their cabin to wait out the storm. They want to know the truth of why she stole money and who she really is and they won’t let her go until they figure it out.
Eventually she comes clean and instead of harming her, they will attempt to help her locate her sister. Will they manage to locate her and reunite the sisters or will their father find them both and take them back home?
These novellas were everything id hoped they’d be and so much more! It’s hard to pick a favourite out of the two because there were things I loved about both novellas and let me tell you the spice was next level! I hope this isn’t the last we see of these thruples!
Snowed in with dangerously hot mafia men, forced proximity, and a whole lot of spice?! SIGN ME THE HELL UP. 🥵❄️🔥 This was exactly the kind of holiday chaos I can get behind! Two interconnected novellas, two sisters, and FOUR men who have absolutely no business being this tempting. The chemistry was insane, the possessiveness was everything, and honestly, who needs a cozy Christmas romance when you can have morally questionable men keeping you warm instead?! 👀🖤
I loved how both stories tied together while still giving us different relationships to obsess over. The women weren’t pushovers, the men were deliciously protective, and the combination of mafia danger, tension, and spice had me completely hooked. Was this your typical sweet holiday read? Absolutely fucking not, and that’s exactly why I loved it. 😂 If you like your Christmas romances a little unhinged, your men possessive, and your holiday cheer served with a side of danger, you NEED this one on your TBR! 🎄🔪🖤
I loved the whole snowed-in, secluded cabin atmosphere mixed with mafia romance, danger, forced proximity, and two very tempting men.
Both stories pulled me in with strong heroines who weren’t afraid to fight for what they wanted, and I really enjoyed watching their relationships develop with the men. The chemistry was hot, the tension was delicious, and there was just enough suspense and danger to keep me turning the pages.
I especially loved the interconnected stories and how everything came together. The snowy setting gave it that perfect cozy,but dangerous feeling, while the banter and spice kept things entertaining. If you’re looking for a quick holiday read with mafia men, strong women, forced proximity, and plenty of heat, this one is definitely worth picking up!
T. Priceton gave me exactly the kind of Christmas chaos I didn’t know I needed! 🎄❄️🔥
What a spicy fun time these two novellas were! What happens when you’re stuck in a cabin with your captors/bosses? Wellll you get a HOT why choose MFM 🥵🫠🤭
I loved the pacing of these two novellas and the mafia story behind them. These are bother interconnected and same timeline and must be read in order. The two FMC are bratva mafia sisters and with some hot Italian mafia men. This was the perfect holiday read for all the spice, some suspense and mafia vibes. If you are looking for a quick fast paced read highly recommend this one
Wow! I can’t get over I am obsessed with these characters, this novella will hook you from start to finish!
Let’s start with the first one, I just need to say that I called dibs on Dante since Isabella and he had everything I expected and more! I am obsessed with this man, but don’t let my obsession fool you; Leo is as dreamy as him! The FMC is fierce and opinionated; I absolutely adore her. I loved this novella; the chemistry between them, the mystery behind the story, and the spice was HOT as hell! I never read a novella so fast; the pace, the writing, the characters, and everything were so well written.
Now let’s talk about the second one; it was early Christmas morning reading about Cassius after seeing all through the DiMaggio series, he is absolutely brilliant and perfect; his twin, Caspian is delicious and I fell in love with him instantly. I love the hacker/morally gray aspect of this and it captured my attention immediately, the FMC is such a badass and I have a girl crush on her. The story, the chemistry between these characters, and the spice was the cherry on the cake! I loved it so much. This is the perfect holiday novella and I will always reread this every year! Just do yourself a favor and add this to your TBR!
❄️Snowed In Collection Review ❄️ Katya is a Russian Mafia Princess who goes on the run to find her sister Anastasia, who left over a year ago after their father tried to arrange her marriage to an older man in the Russian Mafia. Now Katya is being forced to marry him so she goes on the run to find Anastasia but instead..she ends up finding alot more than her sister. Book 2 overlaps and continues from book 1 but this one is from Anastasia POV. She is working for Cassius and Caspian...and Hacking into their computers and stealing a million dollars...no big deal..until they catch her..
Even though it was a Mafia romance, I still think this collection was light enough to be considered a palette cleanser. Definitely recommend this for a Mafia Romance fan looking for a quick spicy MFM read. Overall I definitely loved it. 4 stars and 🌶🌶🌶.5 spice rating.
Book 1 - Snowed in with my Captors Book 2 - Snowed in with my Bosses
What to expect: mafia romance / why choose / kidnapped heroine / Russian Bratva vs Italian Mafia / forced proximity / snowed-in / possessive morally grey MMCs / sex club owners
Book 1 starts off with Katya's father promising her to a much older man. Two weeks until the wedding — does she run to find her missing sister or stay and lose her freedom forever? She makes her choice, witnesses something she shouldn't, and gets kidnapped by two Italian mafia men.
Book 2 flips to her missing sister Anastasia, who works in an upscale sex club owned by two brothers tied to the men from book 1. Stasia is working as fast as she can to get back to her sister before her has to go through with this arranged marriage.
My thoughts:
The plot moves FAST and the smut is 🔥. Book 1 ends on a cliffhanger that could start a war between the Russian and Italian mafias — nerve-wracking in the best way. I liked the MMCs in book 2 more than book 1, but I'm not gonna lie — the spicy scenes felt copy/paste with just a position change. For sex club owners, I wanted more creativity.
My biggest gripe for both books: these morally grey men forgive WAY too fast. The FMCs lie (for good reason) and there's zero groveling. I WANT THE GROVEL.
Overall: quick, smutty, mafia-tied chaos. I had a good time. If you want fast, spicy, and mildly unhinged, this duet delivers.
Thank you T. Priceton for the opportunity to read this e-ARC.
This was such a good duet of MFM novellas. It follows two sisters who are a part of the Russian mafia who try to escape but end up the hands of the Italian mafia and a hacking/security group. It had a good spice to suspense ratio and was a quick and enticing read.
🍁✨Mafia x Bratva Romance Forced Proximity Secret Identity Suspense✨🍁
I've really come to enjoy fast-paced books and this collection has everything you'd wish to find in a story. I'm really glad to have been offered the opportunity to be part of the ARC team.
The Snowed in Collection has two fast pace crime packed spicy novellas! Book one, Snowed in with my Captors, follows Katya. Book two, Snowed in with my Bosses, follows Anastasia. Katya and Anastasia are sisters hiding from their father. While hiding out they both get into sticky situations.
T. Priceton writes the best mafia romances. Just like her previous books, the storyline is addicting. I love how the books flow with one another. There is also a great balance of grumpy and sunshine MMC. A great book to add to your tbr for a spicy winter read!
When I see a book called The Snowed In Collection, I expect forced proximity, a snowstorm, and maybe some questionable decisions made while trapped together.
What I didn't necessarily expect was two sisters running from their families, Bratva drama, dangerous men, secrets, and enough spice to melt all that snow.
Now THIS is more my kind of winter romance.
I really liked that this collection follows two sisters, Katya and Stasia, rather than just giving us two completely unrelated stories. They both want to escape the lives that have been planned for them, but their circumstances and the decisions they make are different enough to keep things interesting.
And honestly? I was rooting for both of them.
There's something about women refusing to accept the future someone else has chosen for them that I will always appreciate. Especially when the alternative involves running straight into even MORE dangerous situations.
Because apparently escaping one problem just means finding three more.
The men were exactly the kind of morally questionable characters I expect from mafia romance. Cassius and Caspian certainly aren't winning any awards for being normal, well-adjusted gentlemen, but that's not exactly why we're reading these books, is it? 👀
I liked the contrast between how intimidating they could be and the softer moments that came out around the women. I'm a sucker for a dangerous man who can be absolutely ruthless with everyone else but has a completely different side reserved for the person he cares about.
And with the snowstorms keeping everyone in close quarters, there was plenty of opportunity for things to get interesting.
The spice was definitely spicing.
Although I do think there was room to make some of those scenes a little more memorable. With the personalities and backgrounds involved, I expected a little more variety and creativity. Not that the scenes were bad, but I wanted something that made each relationship feel more distinct.
What surprised me was how much actual story was happening alongside the romance. Between the family issues, secrets, and mafia complications, there was enough drama that I wasn't just waiting around for the next spicy scene.
I also appreciated getting both sisters' perspectives on their situations. Stasia's choices and sacrifices added another layer to the story, especially when it came to her relationship with Katya. Their connection gave me something to care about beyond who was ending up with whom.
My biggest complaint? I wanted MORE.
Not necessarily more spice, but more time with the characters and more development in some of the bigger conflicts.
Both novellas had enough going on that I think they could've worked as longer books. There were moments when I wanted the story to slow down and let the tension build instead of moving on to the next development.
And that ending?
I feel like we went through all that trouble just for certain things to work themselves out a little too easily.
With everything surrounding the sisters and their father, I wanted a confrontation that really delivered on all the buildup. Give me the drama! Give me the consequences! Make these people WORK for their happy endings!
I think that's the downside of novellas for me sometimes. I love that they're quick reads, but when I'm invested in the characters and their problems, I don't always want everything wrapped up quite so quickly.
Still, I had a good time with this collection. It's fast-paced, dramatic, spicy, and has that combination of forced proximity and dangerous men that I tend to gravitate toward.
And I actually liked that it wasn't an overly festive Christmas romance. Sometimes I want a winter setting without all the sweetness and holiday cheer.
Sometimes I just want a snowstorm and some mafia men making terrible decisions.
If you're looking for two interconnected mafia romances with protective MMCs, strong-willed FMCs, forced proximity, family drama, and plenty of spice, this is a fun option for a quick winter read.
I just wish we'd gotten a little more time to explore everything before saying goodbye to these characters.
T.Priceton has done it again! I was hooked from page one and I could not put it down! We get right into it with Katya, her story is the first story that kicks off this book. She has been arranged by her father into a marriage to a much older man in the Russian Bratva and she refuses to accept this marriage so what does she do….she runs away in the middle of a snow storm. She is to marry the man that her older sister Anastasia was to marry before she escaped/ran away. Anastasia promises Katya that will is going to come back for her, she needs to make enough money to give her and her sister a better life. Katya gets stuck in said snow storm in the middle of the mountains she ends up at the door of two very delicious mafia men: Dante and Leo, I mean what could possibly happen? Dante and Leo have been friends their whole lives, they are more like brothers and Katya comes in and with one look fit right into their little group. There is such a pull between the three of them and at first this started out as Dante and Leo not really being able to trust her right and it turned into they will do anything to protect her. The way they fall for her and they fall hard was chef’s kiss and holly hell the scenes of the three of them together, I had to take a cold shower!
We have Anastasia who escapes the arranged marriage that her father has set up for her. She runs away to New York under a new identity, she works at an adult club owned by twins Cassius and Caspian who are just as delicious as Dante and Leo by the way. She works her way up to general manager and this position gives her an opportunity to put her hacking skills to use. Now she has no clue that both her bosses are only the best hackers in the world. She is using her hacking skills to steal money to save her sister, is it wrong she is doing yes BUT she is doing to save her sister how can you fault her for that. However she is of course caught by Cassius and Caspain, who did not see that coming? They trap her in their snowy cabin to interrogate her and honestly what could go wrong…..holly hell the hotness that follows. Cassius and Caspain can interrogate me anytime they want ;)
I loved this novella, I loved the sisters and how much they fought for one another for their own freedom. This was such a fun read and the spice was next level. It’s hard to say which was my favorite between the two because I had favorites in both novellas and both were great! The guys were all delicious and the sister’s were fierce. The Snowed In Collection is a must read and should be at the to of your TBR list, I promise you will not be disappointed. Thank you to author T.Priceton and Smuthood for the opportunity to read this eARC. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
I was lucky enough to receive an ARC, and honestly, what a wonderful pair of novellas! 😍 I loved both stories, and although I was left wanting more, I had such a great time discovering them.
Katya, the daughter of the Bratva pakhan, is expected to obey her father’s orders: marry the man her older sister, Anastasia, was supposed to marry before she escaped. Anastasia promised she would come back for her, but time is running out, so Katya decides to take her fate into her own hands and run away in search of her sister. What she didn’t expect was to end up at Dante and Leo’s cabin… and arrive at a rather compromising moment! 👀
I absolutely loved Katya’s story. The relationship between Dante and Leo, how they understand each other without saying a word, and the way Katya naturally finds her place between them all felt so organic. There’s such a beautiful connection between the three of them, and it works so well. And I have to confess: Leo had me falling for him from the very beginning. 🤭
Then we have Anastasia, who escaped the marriage arranged by her father, promising to build a new life and eventually return for her little sister. She now works at an adult club in New York owned by twins Cassius and Caspian, where she has worked her way up to become the general manager. The position also gives her the perfect opportunity to put her hacking skills to use… without knowing that her bosses are the best hackers in the world. And oh my God, the connection between these three! 🔥
One of my favorite things was how both stories intertwine, bringing everything together and letting us enjoy the connections between the characters.
Did they feel too short? Absolutely, YES! 🥹 But that’s only because I enjoyed both stories so much that I would happily have read more about these characters. And to me, that’s always a good sign. ❤️🔥
—————
He tenido la suerte de leer una copia anticipada y qué maravilla han sido las dos novellas.
Katya, la hija del pakhan de la Bratva tiene que cumplir con las normas de su padre y esas son casarse con otro pakhan, con el que tenía que casarse su hermana mayor, pero escapó y le prometió que volvería a por ella, pero el tiempo se le echa encima y decide huir en busca de su hermana y así conseguir escapar de este matrimonio arreglado. Pero su huida se complica y llega a la cabaña de Dante y Leo y llega en un momento un tanto comprometido 👀 La historia de Katya me ha encantado. Porque Dante y Leo, la relación que hay entre ellos dos y como se entienden sin decir nada y al final es lo que ocurre también con ella, me ha parecido que surge de una manera muy natural. He de decir que Leo me ha conquistado desde el primer momento 🤭
Y Anastasia huyó del matrimonio concertado que organizó su padre, prometió crear una vida y volver a por su hermana pequeña. En Nueva York está trabajando para los gemelos Cassius y Caspian, en un club para adultos, ha ido ascendiendo y ya es la general manager, lo que le facilita las cosas para aprovechas sus dotes como hacker, lo que no sabe es que sus jefes son los mejores hackers del mundo… Vaya conexión hay entre estos tres.
Me ha encantado como se han interconectado las historias y por supuesto, ¿se me ha hecho corto? Pues si, pero porque me han encantado y no me habría importado leer más de ellos 🥹
I'd run away too 🤷♀️ Oh yeah, this was an amazing collection of 2 books. I absolutely adored both, I adored how the first ended on a cliffhanger that we get to see the ending of in the next book. Snowed In With My Captors is the first in this collection and it's where we get to meet Katya, Dante and Leo. "Principessa"~Dante. "Bella"~Leo "She’s like heaven mixed with hell’s fire.”~Dante. "Anything for you."~Leo It's where we get to see Katya's background and how she got to where she had no choice but to run away. This is where we get to see the budding relationship form between Katya and her men after she drives into a ditch in a snow store and finds her way to Dante and Leo's cabin. This is where we learn about what Dante and Leo where doing in that snow storm that led to them being in the cabin and how it connects to Katya even without them knowing that at first. I absolutely love how they question Katya but she sticks to what she originally told them before getting to know them and telling them some things about herself. I love that the boys are head over heels for Katya even when they're suspicious of her. I love how her secrets came out after Dante scares her into confessing after he runs into her father and her "husband-to-be". Snowed In With My Bosses is the second in this collection and where we meet Anastasia, Cassius and Caspian. "Little Hacker"~Caspian/Cassius "I never thought the day would come where Stasia would be mine, and now here I am, holding the woman I’ve quickly become attached to. The woman I’d do anything for."~Caspian. "Her sweet vanilla scent infiltrates my nostrils, and I take a deep breath, not able to get enough of it."~Cassius This is where we get to see Anastasia's pov of events when she ran away. This is where we get to see what she had to go through in order to get back to her sister. Where we get to see the moment Dante was talking to Caspian and Cassius over the phone and how they got to that point. We get to see past the cliffhanger from the first book and we get to see the happily ever after. I love that Anastasia worked for her men before she left to get her sister and I love that they followed her when they realized what she had done. I love that when they found out her story they immediately offered to help her and they did. I loved when all 6 of them met up and then the ending of everything with the girl's father and Konstantin. These were both quick, steamy, cute reads and I love how the cliffhanger from the first book leads into the next book. A 10/10 from me.

Thank you The Smuthood and Team Priceton for allowing me to read a copy prior to release!
Other than the blurb, I came into this blind without having read any of the author's previous works (not that some weren't already on my TBR, though). I have genuinely come to like novellas; they are short and sweet, to the point, and/or they connect books like a side note. The Snowed In Collection is a duo of SNOWED IN WITH MY CAPTORS, and SNOWED IN WITH MY BOSSES. The FMC of each novella are sisters who haven't seen each other in 1.5 years.
SNOWED IN WITH MY CAPTORS is about the FMC Katya who leaves home and an arranged marriage to find her sister, but gets caught in a snowstorm and ends up in a cabin with two Italian Mafia MMCs. SNOWED IN WITH MY BOSSES is about Anastasia, who has already left home and an arranged marriage, attempting to find her sister, and she gets stuck in a cabin with her identical twin boss MMCs. Kismet happens and it ends up in an HEA. Of course there are other plot details, but there will be no spoilers here; just know there are lots of hidden identities!
The novellas are half smut (no judgement here), so half of the plot is how each sister's sexual relationship comes to be. I don't do spice ratings because everyone's cup of tea is different, but some of the scenes are relatively explicit, and both stories are MFM Why-Choose scenarios, so check your triggers.
I'd recommend this collection if you like dark romance with mafia men, hackers, and Bratva women.
if you love dangerous Bratva men, snowed-in forced proximity, badass sisters, and why-choose that will melt the snow right off your windshield... The Snowed In Collection was an absolute top-tier winter escape! ❄️🔥🖤
This double-novella feature follows two sisters, Katya and Stasia, both desperately running from their ruthless father and an awful arranged marriage—and landing straight into the arms of four very dangerous, very possessive men.
In Book 1 (Snowed in with My Captors), Katya flees during a blizzard, crashes her car, and stumbles upon a remote cabin... only to walk in on dangerous men Dante and Leo doing something she definitely wasn't supposed to see 👀. Leo had me swooning from minute one, and the natural, unspoken bond between the three of them felt so organic and satisfying to watch unfold!
In Book 2 (Snowed in with My Bosses), Stasia is working as general manager at an adult club in NYC for billionaire hacker twins Cassius and Caspian. She's secretly using her own hacking skills to steal money to rescue her sister, not realizing her bosses are literally the best hackers in the world. When they catch her and trap her at their snowy cabin for a little "interrogation"? Absolute FIREWORKS! 🔥
I loved how fierce, resilient, and vulnerable both sisters were—they made mistakes and felt fear, but they kept fighting for each other and their own freedom. Plus, the men bring that delicious contrast of rough, dangerous alpha exteriors that completely melt the second their protective instincts kick in. Between the Bratva drama, why-choose thruples, snowed-in forced proximity, and high-heat spice, it delivered all the drama and tension I was craving!
While I wish the final confrontation with their father had carried a bit more weight—he gave in a little too conveniently at the end!—the seamless way both novellas interconnected made this quick, steamy double-read such an addicting page-turner.
Well, well, well, what a pleasant surprise. I actually love Christmas novels. And I'm so glad I came across the author before and now I had the pleasure of getting this advance copy. This type of Christmas novels are like the last wedding dress for every fashion designer's show. Probably all kinds of plots are exhausted and I can't help but note that we have a classic snowstorm due to a snowstorm. It doesn't really matter, after all, this detail is a classic. What's pleasing to me is that for the first time I come across an almost Christmas novel related to the mafia. The other thing that's pleasing is that polyamorous relationships are my even more favorite element. I just feel like T. Priceton will become an author I'll be happy to read in the future. The two novels are connected, have a happy ending and look at two MFM couples. The sex scenes are very sensual and well-crafted in terms of details and the good thing is that they are not repetitive. One single question as a detail has been bugging me from the very beginning of the first novella to the end - how did the father, who obviously cares about this forced marriage, agree to "endure" his second daughter for a year and a half to study before ordering it as a final solution, given that her sister ran away from the same one. And somehow he very easily agreed to let them go in the end. In addition, both of the Bratva princess sisters were not virgins. Not that it matters to me, but it is a detail that is impressive, because of the whole suggestion that the mafia novels related to Bratva have left. Of course, for this type of short novella, this would be an unnecessary complication, but it would give the romantic element of falling in love a little more believability. I would say - well done T. Priceton! Five stars from me.
Thank you to the author and publisher for providing me with an ARC. All opinions are my own.
I had a fun time reading this book! It was quick, entertaining, and easy to get through, even if I wish I had been able to connect with the characters a little more.
One of my favorite things was the pacing. The short chapters made it incredibly easy to keep reading, and I constantly found myself thinking, “Just one more chapter.” The writing was accessible, the story was easy to follow, and I never felt like I had to work hard to understand what was happening.
I also enjoyed how this book balanced the romance with the overall storyline. The intimate scenes were enjoyable without taking over the entire story, which I really appreciated. Sometimes romance books include so many spicy scenes that I start wishing for more plot and character development instead, but that wasn’t a major issue here.
My biggest criticism, however, was the pacing in terms of the relationship development. Although I enjoyed the story, everything happened so quickly that I never quite formed the emotional connection with the characters that I wanted. I would have loved more time to see their relationship develop and to experience those smaller moments that make a couple feel more real.
Despite that, I appreciated that the book offered something a little different from the dark romances I usually read. It has elements of the genre without feeling overwhelmingly dark, which could make it a good option for readers who want to explore dark romance without immediately diving into something particularly intense.
Overall, this was an enjoyable and entertaining read. It kept me interested, and I can definitely appreciate what the author was trying to do. I simply wanted a little more time with the characters to make their relationship feel more meaningful to me.
Yes, this is two interconnected novellas in one book, following two sisters, four men and a whole lot of secrets and steamy spice… and honestly, I really enjoyed this one!
The girls were strong yet vulnerable. They were scared, but still willing to fight for what they wanted. I found both of them really likeable and enjoyed watching them navigate everything that was thrown their way.
The men, though… hot! I liked the contrast between their rough-and-tough exteriors and the way they completely melted for these women… well, eventually. There was a good balance between their dangerous sides and the softer sides they showed when it came to the women they cared about.
This was a fast-paced, easy and fun read. We have Mafia/Bratva, snowstorms, a little interrogation and, of course, hello spice! The spicy scenes were nicely done, although considering that Cassius and Caspian are sex-club owners, I was hoping for something a little different from their scenes. They felt quite similar to what we got in the first book.
The flow was good, and I enjoyed how the two stories unfolded and connected with each other. My only real disappointment was the ending. I didn't find it all that believable, particularly how quickly the father conceded. I think a little more build-up leading into a bigger conclusion would have made the ending more satisfying.
Book one also ends on a cliffhanger that felt like it promised more than what we ultimately got, so that was a little disappointing. That said, it wasn't enough to take away from my overall enjoyment of the book.
Other than that, I really enjoyed these two novellas. They were quick, entertaining, spicy and easy to read, with just enough Mafia drama, secrets and snowstorm chaos to keep things interesting.
T. Priceton does it again with another amazing book, and this one with TWO novellas. I ate this one up the moment it hit my book funnel. She not only gave us two handsome MMCs but four and I envisioned myself as the main FMCs, LOL. I mean, who doesn't want to be snowed in with two handsome men.
Book One follows Katya, Dante and Leo. If you have kept up with Priceton's Mafia world, you will recall meeting some of these characters before. Dante has a resting BF, moody, and tends to get under your skin but he has a good heart and cares. Leo is opposite. He is more nurtured and doting. The FMC in book one is Katya. The girl is not scared to speak her mind and tell you as it is. I love her fierce attitude toward the men. The chemistry between the three is definitely in the air and the steamy scenes are piping HOT!
Book Two follows Anastasia, Cassius & Caspian. I never wanted to be an FMC as bad as Anastasia, LOL. She is one tough cookie and will do everything in her power to get what she needs to move forward. She works for Cassius and Caspian under a ruse. She is an expert computer hacker and probably THE best one at that. Cassius and Caspian are twin brothers that own businesses and are friends with the DiMaggio Family. The twins were my favorite between the books. The men are gentlemen, and amazing bosses. Who wouldn't mind being stuck with these two during a blizzard?
Overall, this is a holiday quick read. If you enjoy MFM and mafia, its a must! T. Priceton does very well in making sure the chemistry between these characters stays steamy and classy. I love this author and always highly recommend her books. She never disappoints and glad she gave us this gift for the holidays.
The perfect quick winter escape... With a side of déjà vu?
If you are looking for a fast, cozy read to pair with a hot cup of cocoa on a snowy afternoon, especially if you usually devour darker romance like I do, The Snowed In Collection is a great candidate. This duology consists of two novellas that are incredibly quick to get through, making them the perfect palette cleanser between heavier books. Think classic "trapped together" winter romance setup, but make it mafia, and the FMCs are held against their will.
Let’s start with what I liked. The pacing in both novellas is absolutely spot on. Because they are shorter stories, there is zero filler or unnecessary fluff, which was a welcome break after a few recent slow burns! The writing is highly engaging, and I honestly flew right through the whole collection in a single sitting. They are genuinely fun, low-angst, and hit those forced-proximity beats perfectly.
My main critique is that these two stories felt just a little too similar. While the initial setups are different, the actual progression of the plots felt like a mirror image. Once the characters get isolated, the emotional side, the dialogue style, and even the spice are very similar. The spicy scenes are decent, but because the execution felt identical across both books, the steam lost its impact the second time around. Also, by the time I reached the final wrap-up in the second novella, the ending felt a bit anticlimactic because everything was resolved just a little too easily.
Don't get me wrong, these are still incredibly enjoyable, dark-ish, comforting novellas. I just highly recommend spacing them out rather than reading them back-to-back so you don't feel like you're reading the exact same book twice!
I just finished The Snowed In Collection by T. Priceton, and it completely exceeded my expectations for a holiday duology! This isn't a rushed, surface-level romance; the author packs an incredible amount of story, substance, and world-building into a short timeframe.
The structure of these two interconnected novellas is brilliant, with both stories utilizing the intense, isolated "snowed-in cabin" setting but offering completely different dynamics: • The First Novella focuses on the cabin isolation where the chemistry and trust naturally build between the characters from the ground up. • The Second Novella is also set at a cabin, but brings in a fantastic workplace background context involving a high-end club, exploring deep feelings and the journey of realizing a new shift in their relationship.
Both heroines are incredibly resilient and fiercely independent, completely shattering any assumptions of weakness as they take control of their own destinies.
As for the men, both sets of heroes are absolutely dreamy, levelheaded, and so easy to fall for, but they bring completely different energies to the table. The first set of guys has a good sense of humor, wrapped in a macho protector vibe. The second set brings a totally different, intense "don't mess with me" lounge-owner aura. They operate as a flawless, unbreakable duo with a deep-rooted, unspoken connection that perfectly masks their secret skills.
Even the side characters are exceptionally well-written, each receiving a full-circle narrative arc that serves a distinct purpose to the plot. If you want a fast-paced dark MFM romance with fantastic character depth and believable relationship progression, I highly recommend adding this collection to your TBR. I can't wait to read more from this author!
Well, T. Priceton clearly understood the assignment because what could possibly make being snowed in better? Two dangerously sexy mafia men, forced proximity, a whole lot of tension, and enough heat to melt every snowflake in sight!
The Snowed In Collection gave me everything I love about a deliciously dark, spicy mafia romance. Possessive men, strong women who refuse to be controlled, dangerous situations, and chemistry that is absolutely off the charts!
I loved that we got two different stories that were connected through an underlying storyline. Both novellas had their own personalities, but they flowed together so well. The suspense, the secrets, the captivity, and the constant push and pull between the characters had me completely hooked.
And can we talk about these men?! Because apparently one morally questionable mafia man isn't enough, and I'm certainly not complaining! The possessiveness, the dominance, and the way these men take control had my dark romance loving heart doing backflips.
What I especially enjoyed was that these weren't just spicy little holiday reads. There was actual danger, betrayal, family drama, and enough twists to keep me wanting more. And that cliffhanger between the two stories? Thank goodness I had the next novella ready!
If you love your holiday romances with a little less mistletoe and a whole lot more morally gray men, obsession, captivity, and deliciously filthy tension, this collection absolutely deserves a spot on your TBR.
Who needs a cozy Hallmark Christmas romance when you can get snowed in with dangerous mafia men instead? Because THAT is my kind of holiday spirit!
T. Priceton, you had me at MFM mafia romance, and you definitely did not disappoint!
