Review

The Morettis are a chaotic, loud, opinionated, and fiercely loyal family. They fight, but they also fight for each other.

As these men make their way into their own lives, they struggle, they find passion, and most importantly, they find love.

Each story follows one of the Morettis, their relationship to food and family, as they navigate rivalries, starting over, new towns, and finding love when least expected.

It’s a great collection of stories. Perfect for both familiar and unfamiliar with these men.

You can find my reviews of each story under the individual books, but know you’ll have fun with each one.

Synopsis

Come meet the Morettis . . .

The sweetest, busiest, nosiest, most romantic Italian family, all with hearts of gold and the skills to send your tastebuds to heaven.

Meet Gabe Moretti, who makes his Nana’s meatballs out of the food truck he owns with his cousin, and can’t help but antagonize—and swoon over—the sweet man with the sad eyes who happens to own a food truck with the exact same name.

Meet Ren Moretti, who’s sworn off love and relationships, until the ex-soldier who visits his food truck wants more than just Ren’s meatball subs. He wants a partner and a future, and it’s Ren he’s got his sights set on. Can a lifelong bad boy change his spots?

Meet Luca Moretti, all work and no play. He’s sent to Indigo Bay to turn around his aunt’s failing Italian deli, and discovers the playful local baker who’s determined to turn his frown upside down.

Meet Enzo Moretti, who’s left Indigo Bay to pursue his mural art dreams, but then finds himself back in his hometown for one hot summer. The only way to cool down is with the owner of the gourmet ice cream shop. Neither are looking for love, but the only way to combat Enzo’s matchmaking mama is to pretend they’re falling head over heels.

Meet Rocco Moretti, who’s just moved to Christmas Falls and bought the town’s adorable, picturesque coffee shop. But he’s hardly filled with holiday cheer when the changes he makes goes down like coal in the town’s stocking. Coming to his rescue is the town’s deputy mayor, who convinces him to go all-in not just with coffee, but with love.

Meet Marco Moretti, who’s so busy running his family’s restaurant to have a relationship. But then an old childhood friend shows up in Napa, ready to bail Marco out from a sudden pastry-chef-emergency. Maybe love can be sweet after all.

Includes On a Roll, Ride or Die, Sweet as Pie, Cherry on Top, Flake It Til You Make It, and Piece of Cake, a novella currently unavailable anywhere else.
