After walking into his girlfriend's house and finding her murdered, Tony is struggling to get back to normal. Everyone's looking at him like he's damaged, but they don't know the truth. And when they find out, they won't ever look at him the same again. But a one night stand changes everything. Suddenly, everyone at Reed Security is trying to set Tony up with this crazy woman that can't cook, shows up at his work, and calls him at all hours of the night. He doesn't want to hurt her, but how long is a man supposed to go along with a crazy person that thinks there's a relationship where there isn't one?
After meeting Tony one night, Molly knows without a doubt that he's the man for her. He's everything she's been waiting for, and she's not going to let this opportunity slip through her fingers. She knows that he's slightly damaged and dealing with a lot, but with a little encouragement from Tony's teammates, she refuses to let him push her away. She has a whole arsenal of tips and tricks to keep a man's attention, and with her momma's advice and her best friend's help, there's no way she'll fail. Now she just has to make Tony see that what they have is forever.

Why do the guys at Reed Security always make fun of Tony Tacos?
I have read a few of these Reed Security books now and have been really enjoying them. I plan to go back to the beginning and read the entire series. I like the guys, their wives and girlfriends, the camaraderie they have, the jokes they play on each other. The fact that the few that are still single can’t figure out how the married ones have basically changed from tough military men into women who binge watch TV and talk about it in the office.
I like the nicknames they give each other like Tony Tacos, or taco cheese, or whatever they seem to call him on any given day despite the fact that he is Italian not Mexican. But Caps wife met him while he was working at Taco Bell after he came home from the Middle East so he got the name Tony Tacos and it stuck. He hates it, since other people have better nicknames like Rocco, Sinner, Storm and Hunter.
Tony is trying to get over the guilt he feels over the death of Delaney, the girl he was seeing. Though both he and Delaney knew the relationship wasn’t going anywhere, they were having fun for a while. A friends with benefits situation, really. However, since she was murdered he feels guilty for not protecting her and everyone else is misconstruing his feelings of guilt by thinking he was in love with her and is mourning her.
He goes out to drown his sorrows and ends up going home with some woman he met at the bar. Though he hightailed it out of her apartment in the morning. The woman, Molly is certain they made a love connection and that she is now Tony’s girlfriend. She shows up at Reed Security with lunch for him and though Tony is away at training exercises, Cap is only too happy to show her around. It turns out Molly is the worst cook ever and Tony can’t get rid of her, she keeps showing up. Especially when his co-workers start conspiring against him.
I really liked a lot of the plot in this one. There were some hysterical moments and Molly was so naïve and oblivious but so cute at the same time it was hard not to like her. Though I can see how she would drive someone crazy it would also be their own fault for trying to save her feelings and not just telling her the truth, like about how bad her cooking is. They keep eating it instead of just telling her to stop cooking.
Anyway it is kind of funny how they just let the psycho stalker woman come back over and over again and keep setting Tony up, but she is really harmless. Also just because she is cute and naïve doesn’t mean that the romance isn’t smoking hot. It takes quite a funny turn but because of it it gets quite steamy very quickly. The romance between Tony and Molly is both hot and sweet. I really enjoyed both sides.
I will definitely keep reading more of these books and I still plan to go back to the start of the series! They have wonderful plots, terrific supporting characters, great humor and hot romance.

Everyone needs someone like Molly in their life, she is a freaking JOY! Her interactions with Tony is by far my ABSOLUTELY a favorite! She is a bit oblivious and stalkery, but not in a harmful way, it is a bit endearing. I was laughing out loud during many parts of the book. I have not read any other books in the series, but this one was absolutely excellent.
The book is a strange mix of absolute chemistry, naivety, craziness, with suspense thrown into there. There is a lot of interesting moments and I absolutely adored all of it! I give this book 5 HUGE stars and will definitely read more of the Reed Security books!

TNT, Reed security book 23.
Were to begin with this book.
Giulia Lagomarsino as done it again.
TNT was amazing I loved everything about this book.
This continues from coop.
This as you crying and laughing in all the right places.
Tony (taco cheese) is dealing with some guilt and doesn't really know what to do about it.
He is a shell of a man and thinks once everyone finds out what he is hiding they will turn their backs on him.
Molly is a wierd woman it took a long time for me to warm up to her. She can't cook to save her life. Which was funny to read about.
She and Tony met at a bar one night.
She became obsessed with this big angry, lost sexy as hell guy..she kept turning up when he didn't want her too.
Theres a killer on the loose do you think they'll catch the killer. Pick up this book and find out.
I cant highly recommend this book/series and author enough.

As Tony 'TNT' Tacos, you're a d*man good looking guy, intelligent, physically strong & calmly lethal when your Reed Security mission calls for it. You are surrounded at work by fellow 'Reeders' who have your back, who you trust with your life, friends & brothers in arms who would do anything to support you. Normally you are a 'hit it & quit it' 'one & done' male but you entered into a benefits only relationship with a woman who knew the score & was delighted with it.
But then, she's murdered. You cared for her but didn't love her. You feel guilty but you're not mourning. Everyone who knows you, thinks you are. The unrelenting pressure of their sympathetic misunderstanding & constant efforts to help you 'heal' are exhausting & depressing you. In order to try to forget you go to the local bar, The Pub, to get blissfully hammered, get lucky & get on with your life.
So, you go, you get HAMMERED, you get lucky & panic when you wake up in bed with an unknown woman. You leave her apartment like greased lightening while she's still sleeping. The End.
Only, SHE doesn't see it that way. AT ALL.
IMO, this one by Ms Lagomarsino is wonderfully & deceptively thought-provoking & is a skillful blend of hilarious, sexy, sad & pathos. On the surface of the plot (again, IMO) it's a hilarious comedy of a woman (Molly/h) who long ago made the deliberate decision to seriously intensify her natural bent to accept all people as inherently good to nuclear levels. She is a constant in her realm of influence: happy, sympathetic, a great listener, smiling, bubbly. She is also horrible at cooking, waitressing & almost anything else she attempts. But once she is focused on TNT, NOTHING will divert her, drive her away or give up on her 'One'.
And this laser focus of hers is what, for me, was both funny & sad. The undercurrent of this one is (for me) sad because she never seems to realize or even suspect her multitude of shortcomings & none of those in her orbit ever try to help guide or gently correct her. Why? Because Molly is just too sweet, too happy, too gentle, too kind to let her know.
BUT, that said, this IS a hugely funny & wacky inadvertent romance of a lethal security operative who becomes increasingly panicked & frustrated when he finds he can NOT scrape a bound & determined one night stand off him no matter what he says or how he tries to do so. And a few of his attempts put him directly in the crosshairs of a couple of Molly's very aggressively protective & threatening male friends.
Ms Lagomarsino is a mistress of writing exciting action laced stories sprinkled throughout with steam, humor & comradeship. And once again, I found she does NOT disappoint. The writing is smooth & has an excellent flow. The reader is easily drawn into the plot & Ms Lagomarsino deftly fleshes out her characters until the reader feels they understand them, want to know them. Want them to find love, peace, their happiness. Want them to deliver justice to the villain(s), want them to work through their angst, insecurities, fears, worries.
If as a reader you crave romance, some steamy scenes, suspense, action, danger & lots of humor: Read this one. It's heart warming & tinged with some heart ache, will make you laugh, chuckle, smile & even bring a tear or two to your eye. It's a wonderful story peopled with characters that intrigue the reader so they are invested in the resolution of all aspects of the book.
I GREATLY enjoyed it & I think most readers will too.

Received an arc from the amazing author for an honest review
TNT is bout Tony Nachos Tacos who walks on his murdered GF.It shows his journey from a tortured soul to a fun,loving guy who kidnaps Molly (the one who brings him back to the living world) to marry her
Obviously we have many other Reed security members creating havoc in Tony & Molly's story,but Tony & Molly are made for each other
Not so much Molly's cooking that's a sure recipe for poison
Loved it, recommend it to all
I just love this author😍😍😍😍

So I’m giving this a 5 star because Tony really made this book. I have to say this is my least favorite as for female characters. I don’t know how Molly even survived. I’m surprised the guys actually liked her.
I absolutely loved everything about the book.... but her character. Maybe it was just me.
I will say this book has me laughing sooo much! The guys & Tony really made this book for me. TNT!!!😂😂

what to say...?
I laughed out loud more than I expected. This was a romcom more than a romantic suspense. Well written blah blah..
3 stars? Well, I did not like Molly very much, and Tony wasn't all that likeable either...and the way Molly was treated by the others? Also not cool.
But I laughed...really hard and loud and uncontrollably at 2 am...so there is that.

I love this whole series. TNT is a very good read. I love a book that pulls you in and you feel like part of the story. Some really funny parts and some serious bits that where very well written. Can’t wait for the next one.
April 15, 2020
Very good book. Molly and Tony are crazy but I loved them very much. I laughed so much at their wedding. the twists in the story kept me on my toes. Today I locked myself in the room just to finish this wonderful story. Although I was sorry that it ended so fast,I couldn't wait to read the next page.
Another great book by Giulia.

Since Tony joined Reed Security, I’ve been wanting to know more about him and after the events of the previous book it was obvious that his was going to make for an interesting story. Tony was a likeable character who’s currently going through a very difficult time and with the overwhelming guilt he is feeling it’s hard not to sympathise with his character. We learn more about his discharge from the military, which is something that’s always been an unanswered question, and more of his personality as we see things through his perspective. I just wish we’d learnt a little more as the main focus of this book is Tony’s attempted avoidance of Molly. Now Molly is possibly the most naïve character I have ever read about. Her completely clueless nature and bubbly personality make for a sweet character but I struggled to like her and found her to be very annoying. As a result, I just couldn’t lose myself in their story or really understand the relationship, it just didn’t work for me.
As the relationship between Molly and Tony progresses and the plot moves along more is found out about the beginning of the relationship. It’s perfectly placed and written in a way to make the reader really get into Tony’s perspective and frame of mind for the revelations. Whilst my opinions and thoughts of the relationship changed and I could engage with their story more it just felt to late in the plot to really change my opinion all that much.
Giulia does include some of that signature Reed Security humour in TNT and these were my favourite parts of the book. The camaraderie between the guys is always enjoyable to read and I loved the paintball scene. The action in this book is a lot less intense than what we were given in Coop: A Reed Security Romance but with the action in this book following on from those events it draws readers in and adds some suspense to the plot.
I love this series and it is one of my most favourites I have ever read. Unfortunately, I just really struggled to enjoy this one as much as the others. I still enjoyed some parts of it and was engaged enough to want to see where it was going and keep reading whenever I could but in comparison to previous ones this one just wasn’t really for me.

Tacos has dealt with so much recently that he goes out and gets blind drunk. He meets Molly and goes home with her, all he does is talk to her about the past. Molly then becomes clingy to the point where she basically stalks him. All Tony can think about is Delaney. But Molly keeps coming back like athletes foot.
In the meantime Maggie does it again by fooling h Tony that she is in labour and needs driving to hospital.after helping to deliver he triplets Tony has images that he cant get rid of.
Tony then tries everything to get rid of Molly including talking to her dad who tells him to go before it's too late. But he cant get her out of his head. Taco has a epihany about the night he meets molly and realises that she is his love. He chases after molly and wants marry her.
Molly is a little bit dippy and she has a trusting nature. She meets a man who is drunk and takes hom home to sleep it off. Little does she know that he isn't what he seems.
The court case completes over Delaneys murder and he escapes to reek havoc. Tony realises where he is once cap tells him. Tonys plan is " I'm going Red" . I will leave this review there as I could really spoil it for you.
Another brilliant book by Giulia.

Fun, sexy mexy, plenty of action and yes at times tears.
This is by far the best series and the offspring series I have read this year.
The complex threads that Giulia weaves her stories, and her characters keeps you coming back for more. You will be riveted to the pages and find that hours have passed by the time you manage to pull yourself away.
You will laugh your arse off when you are not sweating through the action.

Ugh. Spoilers for sure!
When I first started this series, I liked the first book. And then the next couple books went downhill, and then there was another couple good books. And then I just wanted to get to Lola. Then I enjoyed her story so I kept reading The series. Now, I'm just so far into it, that I will finish The series because you can't read forward in books without missing something usually. In this case, they got the killer from the last book. So they really do continue and you can't just pop in without getting the full picture. Well, I suppose you can technically. But having the full context is something that I appreciate. Except some of these books are just absolutely terrible. 🤦🏼♀️
When I first started this book, It was from Sean's perspective and he was arresting Delaney's killer from the prior book. So I thought, cool. They're going to continue that and we'll get the conclusion. Awesome.
Then, I was 6% in when I audibly groaned and dreaded this book. I would like to say that it got better and that I didn't feel that way after a while. But that is simply not the case. Molly is literally like Craig from his book. And I couldn't stand him. He was completely oblivious. So is she! She lives in her own little world. And it's not a good one. She's bat crap crazy. Only because I don't know if I should curse in here. When I was reading that she thought chicken in the microwave, I thought, okay. That's cool. People do that. But then when she put it in there to cook... Hell to the no. Who does that?
Turns out she's a terrible cook. No surprise there. So between being completely oblivious and showing a history of her obliviousness, on top of being just like her momma and having her momma way too involved in her life, I could not stand this book. Like they were literally already planning the wedding after Molly spent the night with the Tony?! That's not normal! That's not something I want to read about!
I've had other books in this series where the other characters in the book have been able to save it and get it to two or three stars. That was just not the case in this one. It was just too terrible. Really not sure which one was worse. This book or Craig's. They were both equally awful.
I couldn't stand Claire's character, But the other characters in that book did save it from a one-star review. However, as much as I couldn't stand Claire, I think I might actually like her better than Molly.
This book could not end fast enough. Every time I picked it up I wanted to put it back down, but I also wanted to get done with the book so I could be done with a book and never have to look at it again. It was really that bad.

TNT... Another book of such an amazing series...
Having read all the books to date, you can either read them alone or want to know more about each of the other characters and trust me you will want to. I started on the first in the series and I can't stop, I look forward to each of their stories and the future of Reed Security. The author draws you in from the start, you don't know what each book will entail but they all share the same feelings and/or thoughts we have with the connects we make in our lives. Through it all, no matter what you'll feel like you're a part of the book, you'll feel the same things or understand them. If you're anything like me, I have a little bit of all them in me. I truly suggest you read each one from the start of the series and the men and women within it. I started with Sinner and went on from there. You can't just read one and move on to another book, oh no, you need to read the next one and the one after that, so on as you find out all the little bits of each character you begin to see the whole story of the series and those behind it. Each character brings their own bit to and and you want to know more. Don't forget to read the series For the Love of a Good Woman with the other men involved in the series. I can't wait for the next book to come out. This is a series that's very intense you can relate to it at some point in your life, the trials and tribulations that they go through, is something either you or someone you know has. I've been totally pulled in by the author and you will be to. Tony gets pushed to his limits in this one. For the carefree just have fun guy, moving through his life one day at a time. He's stuck between what happened and what he needs to do because it's going to sting more than a scorpion's does but will set him free to live. Meeting her at the bar with no recollection of what took place, wasn't his usual style but that one night turned his world upside down. You'll be laughing so hard over what takes place because you don't know what Tony's going to do next. How the guys and ladies take care of him as they do each other, shows just how much he's truly a part of the family. I'm always amazed at the things that happen within the books and this one, including Tony's new TNT will keep you wanting and needing more of the series. Sometimes things happen for a reason and they put us where we need to be.

Oh myyyy! This story was hilarious. It had it’s sad, scary and dark parts, but I was laughing so hard at Tony Taco’s story.
Tony Russo is fairly new to the Reed Security group. He’s dealing with his guilt over the recent death of the woman he was sleeping with. They weren’t in love; they were bed mates. He wishes everyone would stop treating him with kid gloves because of her death. He feels guilty enough without trying to explain the situation to them.
Molly Erickson is a naïve young woman who is quirky, eccentric, and bulldozes her way into Tony’s life after one night together. Tony doesn’t remember the connection they had on the first night they met, and Molly seems to be a psycho stalker.
I loved this story!! It was so out there and hilarious that I had to cover my mouth laughing while reading it because my husband had gone to bed. I stayed up past my bedtime to read this book and I regret nothing. It is laugh out loud funny. Tony and Molly’s relationship is so off the charts out there that you are wondering if Molly really is psycho. It all made sense when I got to the part where Tony remembered the first time they met. His complete turnaround and his realization are what make sense to the story. He is so afraid of losing someone else he cares about that he subconsciously has blocked the first night that he and Molly met. The men of Reed Security take things a bit too far with Molly while messing with Tony though and things get a bit rocky for a short time. If you are looking for a lighthearted read, with a little heavy in it, enjoy reading about a group of men who treat each other like brother, then you will love this book and series. These men and women are loyal to each other and are a true family, no matter how out there they can be at times. They are fun to read, passionate about their loved ones and will go to any length to keep each other safe. I give this story a 5-star read and look forward to more in the series.

Tony goes out one night to a bar and ends up going home with a woman named Molly. He leaves in the morning, but she tracks him down at work.

Reading TNT was one of those times I wasn't sure what I was getting myself into. I generally love a good series, the longer, the better, but I like to start at the beginning. Reading TNT, which is the 23 in the series, left me feeling like, uh-oh am I even going to know what's going on here. Giulia Lagomarsino gets props for dragging another person into her universe, who now is planning on getting all the background stories.
Tony and Molly's story had me wondering at the beginning, not sure of what or how this was going to play out. But when Molly starts making "lunch" for her new man, I started laughing. I don't think I have laughed that hard in quite some time. Molly is just adorable, clueless but has a heart of gold. And she's got her work cut out for her.
Tony is a hot mess. His story is where not having read the previous novels can cause some issues, but the author does a great job of filling in enough blanks to keep you interested and piquing your interest to go back and read the previous novels. I loved the bantering and wordplay (ok, let's call it what it is -- the trading of insults) amongst the members of Reed Security. The harassment and good-natured ribbing made the story that much more enjoyable. The brotherhood amongst the characters is clearly evident. I am not going into Tony's story any more than what I indicated because spoilers. Read the book.
This series has clearly snuck up on me and totally ensnared me. I already have book 1, Sinner, on my Kindle so I can go back and get everyone's story. If you read this book for no other reason, read it for Molly's cooking, you will laugh until you cry.

It’s official, I am 100% addicted to this series and Tony’s story kept me laughing throughout the entire book. I mean with a nickname of Tony Taco, for a man who is an elite alpha male security professional, can you blame me? Anyway, Tony is dealing with the death of a woman that he had relations with but that was as far as things went. Not helping matters is that his friends and the woman’s parents are all under a misconception with regards to Tony’s feelings for her. Needing more, Tony winds up in a bar where he meets Molly and gets plastered beyond recognition which leads to Tony doing something he would never do under normal circumstances. The following morning, things go from bad to worse as it seems as if Tony has picked up something that he just cannot seem to get rid of. This is one skillfully written storyline blending hilarity with the seriousness of dealing with the repercussions of one’s actions. Molly is the epitome of a good person which leaves her open to have to deal with people who can be judgmental and cruel. However, she seems to take everything in stride and can be a dog with a bone when it comes to what she believes in. Tony is doing his best to deal with Molly and all of her baggage. Ms. Lagomarsino crafts her characters with a way that is relatable. Filled with drama, suspense, wit, steam and humor this is another wonderful story that will have any reader invested from beginning to end. I volunteered to read an advance copy of this book.

Fascinating with his humor and a touch of drama
Excellent episode, full of humor with twisted characters. It’s very well written, very hot and sometimes a little dark.
This episode takes place 2 months after "Coop" the story of Coop and Becky and the dramas they experienced. We are following Tony who has lost his "sex friend" Delaney, Becky's roommate, killed by a psychopath. But Tony especially blames himself for not having been there, when his teammates think he is mourning his lost love. In the course of one night, he meets, seduces and quickly escapes the next day from Molly's bed.
But Molly is completely or psychotic, or naive. She follows the rules of her mother who brings her more harassing behavior than a girlfriend (which she is not). She has memorable food and no one dares to tell her that something is wrong. In short, she seems relationally completely unsuitable and when she receives advice, they are either unsuitable too, like those of her friend Jenny who pushes Molly to execute her version of "Fifty Shades of Gray" to which Tony cannot answer either …. Hilarious.
When the members of Reed security understand and discover Molly, they play it with Tony, if only to forget the murder of Delaney. But this is difficult because the murderer's trial is approaching.

Giulia’s books are always hard to review – why because there’s not a lot you can say without giving away the whole story, the parts that made you laugh and the parts that make you think dam how to those Reed Security men get caught every dam time.
This one is no different – Tony’s a mess and feels to blame for Delaney’s death because he didn’t check and feels guilt because she wasn’t the love of his life like everyone thinks, they were just F$$$ buddies.
Molly brings a whole new level to the story, she has rules to make sure she keeps her man, she can’t cook and gives off a crazy stalking vibe and she’s going to do anything to make sure that she’s going to keep her man. She shows up everywhere with the Reed Security Team encouraging her as much as Tony denies that Molly’s his girlfriend, he doesn’t want to admit that somewhere along the way he starts to like her.
As always there’s never a dull moment when the men of Reed Security get together, terrifying Tony about what Molly wants, bets on baby deliveries, making a plan to win against the team of SEALS coming to visit, the men of Reed Security make sure Tony realises that Molly is really the one for him, while still worried about a murderer trail, and it wouldn’t be Reed Security unless the simplest of things always end up complicated.

Explosive, Dynamite.. TNT is it.. This book is explosive from start to finish.
Tony and Molly are 2 characters that you wouldn't see coming from a mile away, especially Molly. She hits you like a bulldozer and you end up falling in love with her character just as hard.
Tony is one character that you love to see get picked on, because his reactions are just that hilarious. From his frustration over his nickname to his frustration in dealing with Molly in the beginning, it's absolutely hilarious. But it's not always laughs and giggles on his end. He manages to make you quite teary eyed when you see the guilt that he carries and the way he tries to handle it. He becomes a character that you just can't help but love.
Molly's character was something I never saw coming. Initially I thought she was a complete psycho. But over the course of the book, I realized that she just has a different way of looking at life and at people. She always sees the best in people and that's what makes her adorable.
What makes this book even more awesome is the way Molly gets on with the guys at Reed Security and the fact that she fits perfectly in with the wives.
All in all, this was a very explosive book

The blurb says you should read this series in order and I did not do that . I recommend that you do just because several funny situations were referred to from previous books and it was kind of an inside joke with the characters since I didn’t get it . That being said this book was hilarious. When you read the blurb and find out that Tony from Reed Security has a girlfriend who is murdered you will think I am crazy and there is no way that could be funny. That part was serious but the girl he meets at a bar after that was a hoot. Molly and Tony have a one night stand and all of a sudden this woman is bringing him lunch at work , telling people she is Tony’s girlfriend , and at first I found her annoying and dumb as as a rock . The thing about Molly is that she comes off like a ding bat but she grew on the characters in this story including Tony. She also grows on the reader . Stick with her and she will win your heart too. All of the Reed Security members were in this book and when those guys got together I laughed so hard that I cried . I haven’t read a book this funny in years . This is the first book that I’ve read by this author but it won’t be the last . I can’t wait to start at book 1 and meet all of the gang and read their stories .

This book is another book in the "Reed Security Series." This time is about Taco Tony and Molly, a ditsy, warm-hearted young woman who believes that after a night spent talking together connecting on a deeply emotional level, they have forged a bond that will last forever. Tony, however, has no recollection of their night since he was drunk. He wakes up naked in her bed and sneaks out before she wakes. Molly, however, continues to stork Tony, refusing to acknowledge that he is her perfect man, sending him meals and showing up unexpectedly at his work, ably assisted by his fellow workmates. Tony finds himself unable to resist making love to her on numerous occasions, and Molly starts making wedding preparations. I found this was a complicated story of instant attraction, humor, and remorse. Tony is a changed man after his ex-lover is brutally murder, feeling he should have prevented it somehow. Molly understands him and her unfailing support and constant sexual advances. That he is unable to resist makes this a book that is both heartwarming and rewarding read.

Tony has been off his game of late after walking in on his murdered girlfriend. However, what they don't know is why he's struggling since he's keeping it close to the vest. Tony has a one night stand with a woman who is simply put, off her rocker. See, Molly believes that Tony is her happily ever after the next day, and acts accordingly which kept me laughing so much that every muscle used to laugh ached afterwards. It doesn't help that everyone at Reed Security is keeping Molly's dream alive, and Tony is totally losing his mind. And again more hard laughing from me with this situation. I loved the naive Molly, but even I was like, OH MY HELL! Her momma & bestie aren't helping things at all, but hey, Tony keeps coming back to for some hot times since they do have some serious chemistry. This story was so awesome & original, not that I was expecting any less from this brilliant author, and yet, I still can't help but being in awe. There are some twists & turns to allow for the f-bombs to round the hilarious, & sexy times out, so hit those one click buttons immediately, because you CANNOT go wrong with Giulia Lagomarsino & Reed Security! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I'm a huge fan of Giulia Lagomarsino and her Reed Security series, as well as the preceding series, For the Love of a Good Woman; and this book is true to the series. It was full of twists and turns and I must admit I got a shock at the end because I thought I knew what the twist was. I was wrong and I'm very glad I was.
It took me most of the book to like Molly, the female lead but eventually I did. I felt I understood why she is the way she is and I almost felt a kinship with her by the end of the story. She was slightly strange, the strangest character yet in this series and that's saying something and I wasn't quite sure how she would fit in, to be honest.
Tony, TNT, was adorable in his gruff and grumpy way, as always but he was never mean to Molly. A little confused by her and his reaction to her but never truly outright mean and I loved that about him. He fought tooth and nail, right up to the end.

Tony and Molly
Tony was trying to get over the murder of the woman he had dated--more slept with. The team thought he was heartbroken. He was sorry about her horrible death. He found her and could never forget but they weren't in love. Now his feelings were guilt. He finally ended up trying to forget and had a one night stand--at least that was what it was supposed to be. For Ivy, she had found her one and only. (If she didn't poison him with her cooking)
The guys were all Team Ivy. He considered them traitors not supporting him. Ivy is too trusting and he tries to get her to be more careful. He finds her gorgeous and the bedroom, while hot, is even a problem. The "help" from the team is hysterical. All is funny until he tries to break it off. Her reaction is unexpected.
The book is funny. The characters a real team on duty and off even if Tony doesn't see it that way. Things change when the past rears up to interfere in the present. Will the funny ride's deadly curves end the relationship by taking her life?
Laugh-out-loud funny. Steamy. Great characters. A story with deadly surprises. Another winner in the series.

Tony and Molly’s relationship was a bit off the wall to be taken seriously. True, there were some laugh out loud moments that were whimsical and fun, but for the most part it was weird. Tony had no recollection of his drunken night with Molly, and Molly was over the top crazy for him. Living in her own reality and surrounded by gentle, loving and accepting friends, Molly was in a world of her own.
Their one sided almost creepy (on Molly’s part) relationship took off at lightning speed.
Molly was naive? Stupid? Borderline idiotic in a sweet innocent childlike way. Obviously inherited from her equally sweet but looney mother and indulgent father.
And the whole cooking thing was taken so far that it got old really fast.
Still, my heart hurt for her the way the Reed security family treated her as a joke and I felt pretty horrible when she finally realized it.
I was happy for their HEA, but I was never convinced of their OTT relationship.

Tony is still getting over what happened to Delaney, trying to forget by screwing every woman he meets. Including Molly. She's the worst cook in the world, but the sweetest person you could ever meet. And she's convinced that she and Tony are soulmates. I spent more time laughing during this book than any of the others. It was truly a "let's mess with Tony" story, and I loved it. Molly is a tad strange and very naive. I couldn't decide whether to hate the hot mess that she is, or admire her determination to go after what she knows is hers. I love that she's the one who changes his nickname from Tony Tacos to TNT. Tony - omg, for a big strong guy with a lot of smarts, he doesn't know what hit him with Molly, and he can't figure out how to get out of it. And it doesn't help that the other guys are egging her on, or that their women just accept Molly for who she is. I can hardly wait for the next book.

Tony is a new member of the Reed Security team and I’ve been a fan of his. The way the other men tease him and call him Tony Taco (just because he used to work at Taco Bell before he came on board with Reed Security). Tony is Italian, not Mexican! True to Guilia’s form, she brings lots of humor, Laugh of loud moments, crazy antics from the team, Some tense moments, suspense, danger and a very stalker-ish romance between Tony and Molly. Molly being the crazy psycho woman that is convinced Tony is the “one” and Poor Tony doesn’t even remember the night he went home with her! I won’t go into all the story details as in the other reviews, but I found it very entertaining, fast paced and kept me turning the pages to see what happened next. Wasn’t a big fan of Molly, at first, she was kinda CRAZY and very naive. Just didn’t seem to fit a man like Tony, but....she totally grew on Tony. I have read every book in this series and loved them all.

I feel kind of crummy just repeating the same words over and over without coming up with new words to use in my reviews... but words like awesome and amazing as always are just so darn accurate. Every book is just as if not more awesome then the last and I've really grown to love the people (characters) the further we get into the series. I'm not doing much reading lately since it's harder to concentrate on books when you've got 3 kids hovering around you needing help with schoolwork or bored and wanting you to entertain them all the time when things are closed down and there's not really anywhere they would want to go open but even they know better than to try to interrupt my Guilia books and my 2nd oldest just started reading her first series after seeing herself how much I enjoy them.. and she's loving them too despite hating reading. TNT was just the thing I needed at a time like this. Nothing beats a great book when things are stressful.
