Reed Security Series - Box 5 - Books 13 - 15 - By - Giulia Lagomarsino
Book 13 - Sniper - Reed Security Series
Sniper is the 13th book in the Reed Security Series and the first book in a three book arc. Jackson and Chance are the second and third books in this arc and must be read in order. It is also recommended that the series is read in order for maximum enjoyment and understanding of the characters and their relationships. OMG where do I even begin! Firstly this is a story featuring around Chance "Sniper" Hendrix from the Reed Security Firm and Morgan James who initially goes by the name Shyla whilst she is undercover. Chance is asked to meet Jeremy Wick, (who I do not trust lol)his old Master Chief he served with when he was in the Navy SEALS at the strip club Jeremy owns and when Chance arrives he is intrigued by one of the strippers working there. Chance and Morgan have immediate and explosive chemistry that is undeniable but the way Chance treats her in the beginning in not that great which really surprised me. I wanted to give him a slap upside the head at times as a wake up call. He has an immediate impression of Morgan/Shyla and it couldn't be further from the truth. She is actually searching for her four year old babygirl Payton who was taken and she is doing everything a mother can to try to find her. Her choices may not be the best and mistakes are made but she is desperate and unsure of who she can truly trust. Morgan and Chance are both avoiding their feelings but they are undeniable to those around them however. Chance is adamant he does not do commitment or relationships and Morgan agrees as they search for Payton that it is just a casual, temporary thing. Which could not be further from the truth for either of them. The action and drama is evident from the very beginning and has you hooked for more with the turn of every page. The intimate moments between Chance and Morgan are scorching hot, the comedy is hilarious. The fear of the guys and Chance thinking Morgan is trying to "wife him" because she made him breakfast, the guys doing a work out routine to an exercise video was priceless. I would of loved for Knight to be involved in that scene and Freckles with Cap trying to disarm her, that woman is awesome and could teach the guts a thing of two about weapon concealment. Throughout all the action and laughs there is emotion and upset as we are still left with so many unknowns and what they Broker plans next which result in a cliffhanger which was too much to take. My nerves are shot already wanting to know what happens next I am so grateful the next book is available I wouldn't of been able to wait too long as Giulia has created such an amazing world and a family of characters that I am completely and wholeheartedly invested in. I adore them all and love that they all stay with you long after you have finished the book. Once read never forgotten which is a true author gift! I NEED to know what happens next like I need air to breathe. This is an amazing addition to a truly outstanding series. I cannot emphasis enough how happy I am to have found this author. I also think Storm the bouncer from the club is an interesting story with more to him, hopefully he sticks around. Now onto the next book! Happy Reading. 5 out of 5 stars
Book 14 - Jackson - Reed Security Series
Jackson is book fourteen in the Reed Security Series and the second book in a three book arc. You need to initially read book thirteen Sniper before this book to fully follow what has and is happening, just as it is also recommended to read the complete series in order to fully understand and appreciate tge characters and ongoing relationships in full as they deserve to be. This story focuses around Jackson Lewis and Raegan Cartwright. We caught a brief glimpse of Raegan in Gabe's book when her parents Susan and Robert Cartwright when they hired Reed security to rescue her from a dangerous relationship that she found herself in. We knew immediately that Jackson was protective of her but no idea the extent of it, until now. Jackson thinks Raegan is fragile and has endured too much in her past to have a future with him but he is so wrong. Yes she has gone through a lot but not allowed it to break her and turn her into a shell of her former self. She is sassy and witty, a toast burning, awful shot but beautiful and stubborn female that has our boy rapped up in knots. Their chemistry is off the charts as they fight for survival, each other and their extended Reed security family. So much is still up in the air as Chance is still missing, they are all fighting for survival, to regroup and get back in command of this outrageous situation that has destroyed everything including the home of Reed Security. They are all hiding out together as they heal, strategically maneuver and evade their women in the same house and try to make sense of what has happened and plans moving forward. There are still so many unanswered questions and the guys are so close yet so far away from the truth and their team mate still as they heal mind, body and soul ready to go in to one almighty showdown with an enemy they don't even know fully yet! OMG!!! This author is a genius and slightly evil! You will understand why I say this as you read this story, my heart stopped along side theirs. It was all a complete roller coaster of emotions for the characters and the reader. The twists and turns keep coming, the story is addictive and packed full with all the emotions, action and drama, scorching heat and comedy that only this author can create to this degree of magnificence. I could not put this book down and more importantly did not want to. I also love that we again had more chapters from the other members of Reed Security along with hilarious moments of the guys together like only they can pull off and the women with equal naughtiness to balance out all the emotional devastation we encounter and action with nail biting drama throughout the story. We have knight being Knight which is always magical for me. This story still ends on another cliffhanger so bear that in mind before you begin. I am so glad that I have the next book to head straight into I really couldn't handle the wait for the next one. I need to know where we (me and the Reed Security family) go from here. It truly is like you are a part of it all as it is written so well and engages you throughout. On to the next one, I cannot wait! Happy Reading. 5 out of 5 stars.
Book 15 - Chance - Reed Security Series
Chance is book fifteen in the Reed Security Series and the final book in a three book arc starting with book thirteen Sniper followed by book fourteen Jackson which must be read in order to fully appreciate where we now are with this book titled Chance. We are returning to Chance "Sniper" Hendrix and Morgan James who we have previously read about in book thirteen and where they find themselves now. They are fighting to find their way back to one another and to find Payton, Morgan's daughter and learn how they start to move forward after a year of torture and torment. Their story is beautiful but also filled with emotion and heartache as they overcome the emotional and mental anguish they endured plus the physical scars at the hands of The Broker/Wes and the boss running the trafficking rings. Morgan and Chance learn to rediscover what they initially shared and try to move forward. Chance has a beautiful relationship with Payton that would melt the coldest of hearts. This story again covers every emotion, hope, love, family, brotherhood. The strength of connection that this chosen family share is unbreakable and undeniable. The story is packed with action and drama, twists and turns you don't expect. The story has sinfully delicious spicy moments that will leave you fanning yourself and so many laugh out loud comedy gold moments that it balances out all the heavier parts of the story. The guys telling the women what was happening and completely messing it up but Knight telling Kate the same thing simply stole the show! Swoonworthy no doubt! The labour simulator experience was so funny I was howling with laughter. The wives wine time and explanation of uses for household objects was funny and enlightening but the wives on a mission was epic. Not to mention the Baby boom that happened which was so funny it was showstopping! This is a really well written story, with a truly great plot that was developed throughout the story to perfection. The characters and scenes were engaging throughout and having the scenes told from multiple characters perspectives was also an added bonus as it keeps those characters alive in the readers mind and not faded off in to the background. I really am beyond delighted to have found this author and her books. I know for a fact that when this series is over I will be devastated and once I have read everything else she has written I will be re reading everything again and 5again. She creates characters and stories that are truly amazingly addictive no question in my mind. Again I highly recommend that all books within this series are read in order to fully appreciate the characters and storylines. On to the next story now as we join the Reed Security family as they heal and rebuild and find their next mission and adventure! Who will fall next! Happy Reading. 5 out of 5 stars.
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.
Let me tell you this first: GET THE TISSUES! This story line gutted me so hard. I bawled. I cringed, I hoped, I probably giggled, but I did cry.
Sniper AKA Chance. His story is a two part story, and let me tell you something. He's well worth it. He deserves more if you ask me. The divorcee of the REED men is sure to have something to say when it comes to his teammates and their advice or whatever you want to think it's called. Haha. When he's known as Sniper from his military days, he doesn't correct his long lost friend when his story starts out. His eyes meet one woman who doesn't belong there. A woman he knows doesn't belong, but what is she doing there and what are her secrets? Morgan is determined to find her daughter. She was kidnapped from daycare six months ago, and will do just about anything to get her back. She's followed leads, that took her to the one place she doesn't belong. A strip club. The place is owned by Chance's aka Snipers military friend, but there is more to the club than anyone thinks. After treating Morgan like a whore, Sniper realizes one thing, he needs to help Morgan find her daughter. With the help of the Reed men, and a favor asked by his fellow military buddy, all things go to hell when everything is crumbling at their feet, even REED SECURITY. After Morgan and Sniper are both captured, it takes the whole team to go on the run, after they figured out someone is after them, and it's going to take a miracle to find Morgan and Chance before it's too late.
Jackson: One thing is for sure, Jackson does things differently than most of the Reed men. He takes things slow. Too slow if you ask any of them, but that's just who he is. On the run with Raegan, after saving her for a life of abuse and weapons, Jackson and Raegan need to find out who is behind the life she once lived to help the Reed men find Chance and bring him home. With no leads, and only one way to find what they are looking for, Raegan go undercover with Jackson and some of the guys, even Knight to gather intel on where Chance might be. It's a shot in the dark, but her ex and everything else going on, is all connected in some way. It's just going to take a lot longer to find the answers.
Chance. Part 2 of the story and let me tell you, this one is going to have you gutted. Being tortured for a year isn't what Chance expected, but he did. He was beaten, burn, and hung only to survive the torture. But why? Why would they want him alive? Where was Morgan? Did she actually die in the house fire, or was she alive? No one knew the answers to all of the questions. The more the story played out, the more everything fell together, and it was shocking. With Chance gone, the Reed men had to come up with a plan to find Chance and Morgan, with such little luck, it happened when Cap got the phone call. Chance had someone on the inside, but it was the last person he ever thought. A man that helped him heal, and get his strength back, but at what cost. He didn't know. When Chance found out that Payton, was there where he was, he had something to fight for, even though he knew Morgan might be dead. This story has so much going on, you will just not want to put it down. It will tear at your heart, and gut you like a fish, but this box set is one of my favorites.
This set was a very hard tear jerker, but some parts were funny.I will review Jackson and Raelyn this story was very hard to read in part for what what Raelyn went thru with her abuse boyfriend and for so long.Also worth more than five stars.Chance and Sniper since it's the same man,this very hard too!from certain homes being destroyed to Chance being kidnapped from Reed Security and then reading about Ice,Hunter and Gabe dying was a big tear jerker!Also what Chance went thr on the island was hard to handle .Chance and Morgan were made for each other.The laughs of this set was when the girls were all the having the baby's at the same time and the husband's were freaking out!
ANOTHER FANTASTIC SET! I wasn't sure how I felt about the way the author wrote these books. I wanted to see what would happen with Chance and then had to read Jackson's story to find out what happened to Chance. Now that I've completed all 3 books, I like how she wrote them. It really was the best way to show us what everyone was going through as they tried to solve book 1. I'm loving these guys and really don't want the stories to end. This is going to be one of those series that I miss the characters after I finish. I just know it.
These women are badass warriors that would do anything to protect their children and their family because let's face it Reed Security is a family. They don't give up on one another and they don't back down from anything. Just someone please watch Maggie. Chance is a damn good man that loves with all of who he is even when he isn't quite sure that he's in love. And again Knight is the freaking best!!
We're deep in the lives and loves of Reed Security and we were NOT prepared for how graphic this could get. I'm NOT talking "steam." These are graphic military type situations that require a certain mindset. These books don't gloss over the incidents and some of them are bad. There are a lot of fun things with the ladies of Reed Security but it's still a lot. Thank you for your time, talent AND THE STORIES!
Great reads - books 13-15 I have read all of the books in this series, one after the other. I have laughed till my sides were sore and often cried too. The backstories are brilliantly thought out and explain why these alpha males and super-alpha females are together. With the addition of the children and the extended families and friends - the suspense is well done and it is so obvious there is never going to be a happy ending for anyone who seeks to take on Reed Security.
Good set. The stories were detailed and thorough. Her ability to weave so much humor into the stories is epic. Im LOL usually throughout. There were times I was thoroughly p!ssed, bawling my eyes out... then breathing in relief. After getting this far into the series, I'm invested. All the male characters are protective, yet have that little boy-banter and humor of men that just makes you laugh like an idiot ...yet swoon like a love-struck woman.
Oh my gosh each story had so much happening that was so bad for the entire group both the men and women. I was so sad when certain things happened and how they all continued to fight with all they had to give. There were so many bad things that just continued to happen this set is well worth the read.
This time Reed men had nothing but trouble big trouble on every front. The debth of this book was intense and yet you gave us a break with these alphas boy to man antics. Only criticism would be a little more concern for Chance when we weren’t completely engrossed in him and his lady
Brilliant as usual. Love the way these characters interact and the way these stories are written. The women are baddass and the men like to think they areceven more baddass. Keep 'em coming!
You can't stop at one book, they draw you in, their craziness, the nonstop action, the interaction between all of them. Will keep you going just to see what they get into next.
The three stories were tense and full of blood and gore. But at the same time the men of Reed Security reminded me of the three stooges on their in between time.
Books 13 and 14 were good, Thought chance and Morgan’s story was too , don’t really have a word for it but it went from one extreme funny too dark with the things chance had to put up with. I actually stopped reading, then decided to at least finish the set
I love this series of books. The guys are tough, and can be thoughtful too. Also, funny. Love the idea of putting labor simulators on them. I laughed so hard at that.
I would recommend these books and series for adults, that enjoy reading stories that are funny, steamy, suspenseful, and romantic, with strong characters both male and female.
The suspense had me reading late into the morning. This series off books are bomb! Killing off any one off the team would have been a big mistake. Holy s**t!
