This is an anthology that contains 10 mafia romances. The stories are fairly brief (novella length). There are several stories written by well known authors such as; Arianna Fraser, Jane Henry, Lucy Monroe and Cate C. Wells. The stories have a variety of interesting tropes such as, age gap, marriage of convenience, second chance romance and arranged marriage. Many of the stories contained either family or secondary characters from the author’s previous books. So it was nice to see how a character’s daughter is doing as an adult. Great book with interesting stories all centered around the mafia. 
My favorite story in the anthology was “Yuletide Pact” by Jane Henry which focuses on Kolya and Galina who fell in love but were separated. Kolya believed that Galina had gotten married and when he found out that she was available, he knew nothing would keep the apart, not even her brother. This is an age gap romance.
