Cracking my bedroom door, I slipped out into the hall on bare, silent feet. As I tiptoed past the room next to mine, the door opened. “Where do you think you’re going?” A disheveled Ben peered out, rubbing sleep from his eyes. “Um… the kitchen?” “You asking or telling me?” It took a minute to answer. All conscious thought fled my mind as I took in the bare chest before me. I’d known he was … chest before me. I’d known he was ripped, but oh, my God! There wasn’t an ounce of fat on him. Each muscle exquisitely defined, my fingers itched to touch his mostly hairless skin, to follow his neat, muscled V down into the loose sleep pants he wore.
“Um… I’m going to the kitchen.”
“Well, come on then.” He snagged a black t-shirt and pulled it over his head as he stepped into the hall and shut his bedroom door.
“You coming?”

Christmas in Italy
Ben is a novella in the Bachelors Incorporated series by Allison LaFleur. It is a fast-paced and quick “Christmas” story about Ben, one of the Scorpion Security men, and Selena, an Italian mob boss’s daughter. When Selena is in need of a bodyguard it is Ben who is pulled from an assignment he was going to and redirected to Italy to take on the task of guarding her body.
I quite enjoyed this novella and would recommend it to other readers.

The storyline was well written and the characters were so well detailed that as each and every page was turned Ben and Selena kept me totally engaged throughout the entire book!
Ben Wolfe was on his way to board a plane to Africa when his boss called and told him plans had changed. He was now needed in Venice, Italy to guard Robert Bianchi’s daughter Selena. Ben had been in Special Forces while in the military and now was working for Scorpion Security. He could think of worse things than Christmas in Italy. Selena was home from college in Georgia to spend the holidays with her parents even though her father had told her it was not safe for her to visit at this time. Selena had no idea what her father did for a living as he was the job leader in that area of Italy and another family was trying to move in and declare war. There are many twist and turns in this book as Ben and Selena develop a forbidden relationship. Of course then there was all the intrigue from the warring family. You will not be able to put this book down until you finish.

This book was starting off in the right direction but for the military time at the beginning of each chapter. I think that got in the way of the story. Yes he is ex military and it seems we the readers had to be reminded of that at each chapter.
I was enjoying the story but it ended without an ending, they are boyfriend and girlfriend, but what happen with her parents and the war that was coming?
I would give it a higher rating if only there was conclusion or ending…

Ben is sent to guard Selena. Her father has kept her sheltered from his business dealings, but fears for her safety. His main rival would love to get her to manipulate him. Since she doesn’t see the need, she tries to constantly shake Ben off her path. As they spend time together they become closer. But when they have an arguement, she runs one time too many. Now can he find and save her before it’s too late? And can he live without her if he fails? I wanted a much stronger ending. I wanted the whole HEA.
A quick read about a bodyguard and the girl he is to protect, a mafia head honcho’s daughter. He has a hard time keeping her safe, but at the same time is is falling heavily for her and she for him.

Ben, a former military man, is headed to another assignment in the jungle for Scorpion Security when his Boss calls and tells him there’s been a change of plans. He has to fly to Italy to be a personal bodyguard for a mob boss’ daughter. Selena, the mob princess, meets Ben when she’s painting at a cafe and has an accident. Fortunately, Ben catches her before any harm is done. The waiter tries to slip something into her drink. However, Ben is there to save the day. This isn’t what Selena wants because she doesn’t want to be restricted with her ability to paint wherever she wants. The fun continues between Ben and Selena. There is definitely chemistry and the typical bratty and spoiled behavior of a mob princess. However, it works out in the end!!
This was a great read that was quick. No cheating and a HEA! I would’ve loved to learned more about what else happens in the end, but I was fairly satisfied with the ending. Read the book!!
Ben works for Scorpion Security and is assigned to Selena whose father is a Mafia boss. This was a short story and I feel the characters could have been more developed and expanded.

Loved the story, Love this whole series.
Ben was great just wish this was a full story instead of a novella. I just keep thinking of all the trouble that could follow them back to the US.
Once more great story just not long enough.

The author has given us characters that we can understand. Ben, bodyguard, and Selena, college student and mafia princess, meet when Scorpion Security is hired to protect her from a rival family. Being together continually, Ben and Selena find that they have feelings for each other. The problem is that Ben must keep her safe while she tries to maintain some of her independence.

This was a bodyguard/client romance. I was short but sweet. Because Selena did not know her father was a criminal so she really didn’t take being in danger seriuosly. The characters were likeable and the story moved along well.
