Silent Night With Luca: An Off-Limits Holiday Mafia Romance

by B.B. Stone

I was hired to protect Fiamma Luciana. But who’s going to protect her from me?

Winter Haven may be draped in Christmas lights, but there’s nothing festive about this job. Fiamma—the don’s reckless, untouchable cousin—is wild, defiant, and everything I’m forbidden to have. Yet every time she’s near, she sets my blood on fire.

This isn’t just a job—it’s a death trap. Marco Vitale plans to use her as a pawn to dismantle the Lucianas, and I’m the only one standing in his way. I should be focused, cold, unbreakable. Instead, my loyalty and desire are at war.

One wrong move, one forbidden kiss, and it’s not just my career on the line—it’s my life. But letting her go might destroy me faster than any bullet ever could.

This Christmas, the greatest threat isn’t Marco or the bullets waiting for me in the shadows.

It’s the woman I can’t resist.



Authors Step into the snow-covered, perilous town of Winter Haven, where steamy romance collides with dark mafia secrets. The Winter Haven Holiday Mafia Romance series offers unforgettable stand-alone stories of second chances, forbidden love, and deadly betrayals—all set against the backdrop of a picturesque destination where festive cheers meet ruthless passion.

Luca Rossi is in charge of keeping Fiamma safe and that's no easy task, especially since Fiamma hooked up with Marco Vitale, a member of a rival family, and then left him. Marco wants to get her back, but to do so he'll have to go through Luca. Thank goodness Luca takes his job seriously, what he doesn’t respect so much was the thing about keeping his hands to himself.
Luca and Fiamma are explosive, what a fan of showers they are😂.

Silent Night With Luca is an off-limits holiday mafia romance book which I thought to be a charming, suspenseful and page-turning book. Author BB Stone has created yet another amazing romance story with a sensational plot, spectacular characters, and an outstanding outcome for the main characters. I positively LOVED reading Silent Night With Luca which I found to be beautifully written and amazingly executed. Silent Night With Luca is the narrative of Fiamma and Luca. Luca is hired to protect Fiamma Luciana, every second that Luca is with Fiamma, he can’t control himself. A man named Marco Vitale is looking to use Fiamma to take down the Lucianas, and Luca is in a position to stop him. Fiamma is a wild and a rebellious young woman who is completely off-limits. Will Fiamma and Luca’s relationship become more serious? Or will Luca walk away from Fiamma to keep her safe? After reading Silent Night With Luca to the end, I absolutely love the fact that Fiamma and Luca’s story has a happily ever after with them being married and having a beautiful daughter named Emilia. Fiamma and Luca are absolutely amazing characters that I immediately fell in love with right from the beginning. Silent Night With Luca is definitely a mafia holiday romance book that I would give as a recommendation to anyone who enjoys reading mafia romance books. I’m looking forward to reading more amazing books by Author BB Stone.

The bodyguard and his brat - Luca isn't thrilled when he is tasked to shadow the brat of the Luciana mafia family. Fiamma tests his mettle too often when he's just trying to do his job. When she is kidnapped he moves quickly to retrieve her from her captor. But not fast enough as her quick thinking got her out of that sticky situation and into something so much bigger. A conspiracy to bring down her whole family. Uh oh. Now she has to use the big brute to keep her family safe, especially since everyone knows they will be in Winter Haven en masse for the holidays. What better time to wipe them all out?

Betrayal is at Fiamma's front door even as her and Luca's passion rises in this thoroughly engrossing mafia romance. The MCs are on fire together, although she should have made him apologize for denigrating her before she dived headfirst into his bed. Action-packed at times, with enemies dispensed with swiftly. I read and listened to "Silent Night with Massimo" first and can't wait til Adrian's story is ready for my listening pleasure.

The AI narrator was pretty good, switching to mimic the sex of each chapter from Luca's or Fiamma's POV. A novelty I haven't noticed often with AI that makes up just a little bit for the machine's inability to tell the difference between "leed" and "led" for "lead".

Good,

Not bad,Good story line.Fiamma is considered a brat but maybe because she is always being told what to do buy men.She wants freedom,space to breathe.Luca is her bodyguard,he is hard,no feelings,a brick wall.She tries to escape him but it doesn't work.Fiamma and her friend come up with a plan for escape him but that doesn't work either.But a old flamed does come back in her life,he is mean and dangerous and does kidnap her but Luca does get her back but it is more serious than they thought,there is a inside person.Fiamma fines out who it is and she is hurt,shock when she fines out who it was. Happy ending!Enjoy

A hot, dark Mafia romance

I love reading this collection of Winter Haven Mafia stories. This book shows that, even when your life is on the line, you can still find love where you least expected it. Luca is a hot bodyguard, and his job is to protect his charge at any cost. What he didn't plan on was falling in love with her. Fiamma wasn't even looking for love, but it found her anyway. Even at her darkest times, she finds Luca there for her, and it turns into more than just a job. They find each other, but will life literally tear them apart, or bring them closer together? Please read their journey to find out.

Not enough silence ❤️🎄💪💙

Fiamma and Luca have a tremulous beginning, as he’s the bodyguard she always wants to get away from. She was kind of annoying. If it drives you crazy to read about smart women who constantly make bad decisions that get them into trouble, here’s the book for you.

There’s some violence in the book, as would be expected from a mafia story, but they do get their HEA.

I really enjoyed this book , Luca is charged with protecting Fiamma , the thing is she doesn't want to be protected , she wants to go out and party with her friend , get drunk , each time she runs from him , things get more and more heated and when she finally gives in , does she is told , stays in with him to relax and be safe is when things start to get very interesting , this is a 200 page forbidden love mafia romance , the first of a 5 part stand alone collection of books

I usually don't DNF novellas and certainly not 23 pages in. I don't think this book is for me. It's a bully enemies to lovers. I'm not too keen on the bully part. Right off the gate, he calls her a bitch. And in the inner dialogue, he calls her that, making me feel like he meant it. And the FMC is a huge huge huge brat. It's not my cup of tea.

Luca has been given the task of keeping the wild and carefree Fiamma safe as her bodyguard. A steamy Christmas time read with touches of drama and action along the way.

A quickie

It was an engaging story. Some action, some intrigue, some passion.
A few editing issues and repetativeness annoyed me, but not enough to throw off the story.
I already have the next book so I will read it.

[Lori Laidlaw · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great enemies-to-lovers set at Christmas time in a postcard-town with an underbelly of Mafia intrigue and violence.

This is a HEA standalone but part of a series written by different authors. I've started the second book and it has recurring characters but a completely different story.

Christmas read

A bodyguard romance with heat. A nice read for a chilly winter day. Nothing like running for you life, kidnapping and backstabbing to add to your holiday cheer.
