The greatest gifts aren't always wrapped in paper...

Call me a grinch but Christmas sucks. Always has. So when there’s an opportunity at work to infiltrate the Zicari Syndicate during their Christmas Eve bash, I jump at the chance.

The plan is simple: assume the identity of a seductive mafia mistress with dangerous tastes, and infiltrate the underground crime kingdom. I am prepared for the risks, but the unwanted attention is something entirely new. Specifically from Marco, the wickedly handsome younger brother and right-hand man of the monstrous Stefan Zicari.

Marco isn’t my intended target, but he has a hidden agenda of his own. Instead of killing me, he proposes we form an unlikely alliance. We’ll play pretend, with me standing in as Marco’s newest fling so that we can collect the evidence needed to bring down his brother’s criminal empire for good. And if we’re lucky, Stefan will be in handcuffs before jolly old Saint Nick comes down the chimney.

But things are quickly shifting between us. It’s not long before our acting crosses the line into something real, tempting, and dangerous. Being together can jeopardize everything we’ve worked for and get us killed.

Our charade was only supposed to be for the Christmas holiday, but now I’m wishing I could be Marco’s Mafia mistress all year long.

A Mafia Mistress for Christmas is a holiday mafia romance novella. This story is a quick read that contains some darker themes and lots of heat.


My Summary of The Story:

Lacey never liked Christmas, with her relationship with her mother as restrained as it is, she jumps head first for an opportunity to work on a case during the holiday. The thing is the assignment requires her to go undercover as a mafia mistress, and she was never good at pretending but still determined to do it anyway. Lo and behold, she was caught before she even managed to sneak into the party where a criminal deal was supposed to happen. Marco Zicari, the syndicate second-in-command caught her and offered to strike a deal with her to take down his own brother, It turns out Stefan, the head of the Syndicate has become unhinged and out of control for a while, and he wanted to stop him once and for all. Things are quickly shifting between with that much sexual tension between them, can they come out from this dangerous plan without getting killed?


My Thoughts:

This book was actually fun to read, it’s full of tension, and it’s thrilling to see them together attempting to take down Stefan. Their first meeting was interesting, I didn’t expect Lacey to be caught right at first glance (she’s not a very good cop now isn’t she?). They were hot for each other pretty much right away, this was instalust turned into instalove, Marco literally said the “L” word the very next day. I have read Brooke Harper’s book before, and she wrote hot and kinky smut, and I Iove it. I recommend this book if you like to read a holiday novella with some thrill and steamy sexy time.
