This is a great bridging short story, one in which an established couple is able to get their Christmas wish and start their new beginnings. But, it’s also a story in which another Morelli starts his journey to true love and a happily ever after. Baby, It’s Cold Outside hints at so many different layers to this world that I’m keen to dive into (even if they are going to be far more intense than the stories I normally read).
Baby, It’s Cold Outside is a story which features a Mafia boss and the incredibly tough and independent woman that he marries. I honestly was expecting it to become a bit of a threesome story, but it was just a bridging tale. With lots and lots of lust to keep you warm at night. This short story might only have been three chapters long, but everything in it was filled with intensity, from the couple’s relationship and their burgeoning friendship with Tiernan.
I love that Baby, It’s Cold Outside shows the beginnings of Tiernan Morelli becoming independent of his evil and controlling father. With all of the beginnings of this culminating at the Morelli Christmas Gala, like the other stories in the Meet Me Under the Mistletoe Anthology.
