My Thoughts
Mistletoe Masquerade by Jill Ramsower is a spicy, fast-paced novella that perfectly blends a Cinderella-inspired holiday retelling with a thrilling mafia twist. The story follows Sachi, who decides to trade her catering uniform for a gown to experience one of the elite parties she usually works.
Her "Cinderella moment" arrives when she is rescued from an uncomfortable encounter by a gorgeous man in a masquerade mask. That man is Dean Malone, a detective who is instantly smitten, keeping a possessive arm around her from the moment they meet. Their chemistry is explosive, leading to a steamy night of anonymity that both characters secretly hope could be something more.
The tension heightens the next morning when Sachi, fearing the complications of her close ties to the mafia, slips away before Dean can even learn her last name. As the best friend of a woman married into the Moretti crime family, Sachi knows that dating a detective is a recipe for disaster.
However, Dean is not a man who gives up easily. Using his detective skills to track down his mystery woman, he unexpectedly runs into her at the home of a mafia associate. The resulting miscommunication—where Dean assumes Sachi might be a setup for information—feels incredibly organic given the high-stakes world they inhabit.
Jill Ramsower masterfully balances the "insta-lust" energy of a holiday romance with the darker undertones of her Moretti Men series. It was a delight to return to this world and see familiar faces, but Dean and Sachi truly steal the show. Dean’s protective nature pairs perfectly with Sachi’s sweet but feisty personality; she is never afraid to ask for exactly what she wants.
Their journey from a chance encounter at a ball to being snowed in together provides a deeply satisfying emotional payoff that proves when you find that certain someone, you might as well dive straight in. The audiobook experience is elevated to perfection by the narration of Connor Crais and Persephone Lee, who capture the raw intensity and playful banter brilliantly.
Whether you are a longtime fan of the series or a newcomer looking for a spicy holiday read that works any time of year, this story is a total win. I absolutely loved this short but impactful journey and only wish I could have spent even more time with Dean and Sachi.
