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.

Reed Security Series - Box 7 - Books 19 - 21 - By - Giulia Lagomarsino

Book 19 - Wolf - Reed Security Series

Wolf is the nineteenth book of the Reed Security Series and again it was different from the others and really good fun. This story focuses on Craig Devereux and Reese Pearson a Kindergarten Teacher that Craig meets in a coffee shop a few stories back. They share a magical moment then the coffee shop is victim to an attempted robbery at gun point, Craig saves the day but Reese runs away in fear. Not taking her departure as a sign of not being interesting Craig sets about stalking Reese in an attempt to make her see sense. His stalking abilities make Knight proud, Craig is more like him than anyone thought but he does it in such a comical way. This is how Reese and her bestie Brooke, who is awesome by the way, end up nicknaming Craig "The Wolf" because he stalks his prey (Reese) and constantly looks at her like he wants to devour her. Poor Reese just thought she wanted a normal guy, with a nine to five job and no weapons or close combat training. She never thought she could fall for the cocky and confident, sexy, ripped muscles and a face like a Greek god guy that is Craig but this is where she finds herself. Kidnapped multiple times, on the run, a shot gun wedding with an assassin as a witness, her life is thrown in to disarray in a matter of days. Regardless of all that Craig is determined to prove their love is not one sided, but Reese is scared to trust and of being hurt by this warrior who won't let her go. It was great seeing more of Craig, learning his story. He just melts your heart he is so sweet and loving. At times a flashing neon sign could not have made things clearer to him but he would not be deterred when the life and love of the woman he loves and needs more than life itself is at stake. This was a really enjoyable read and great addition to an outstanding series that just keeps getting better and better. Packed with spicy moments, action and adventure. The camaraderie we love and expect between this chosen band of brothers and their women is witty and comedy gold. Overall it was another great read. The guys doing yoga was laugh out loud goodness and Sinner is amazing as always. I highly recommend that all books within this series are read in order to fully appreciate the characters and storylines. Happy Reading.

Book 20 - A Mad Reed Security Christmas - Reed Security Series

A Mad Reed Security Christmas is a great story of different stages of the festive season from Halloween through to Christmas and told from multiple characters perspectives and it is so much fun to sit back and enjoy. We have Cap and Maggie enjoying some tricks and treats at Halloween. Ryan being schooled by Knight about their women's safety and when Ryan asks him something and Knight answers we all see why Knight is the god that he is.
More babies are on the way which is always proving to get the guys panicking or saying something they instantly regret.
Alec and Florrie meet Reid a thirteen year old boy who is going through a lot and needs a Christmas miracle.
Chance and Morgan are now in a much happier place and when Chance makes a decision about his future he ends up asking advice from the guys, what could possibly go wrong!? It was brilliant, laugh out loud good. Victor Adams is starting to creep out of the woodwork and cause problems for our beloved Reed family. Derek and Claire, Hunter, Lucy along with baby Rylee are off to spend thanksgiving with Derek's family and Derek ends up being very thankful for Claire's overloaded suitcase as more trouble follows our Reed family where ever they go. Lola enjoying time with Ryan and their extended family of Ryan's friends and their wives. However not to be out done, the wives give everyone a thanksgiving surprise which is very unexpected. Cazzo, Burg, Ice, Chris, Jules and Gabe are on a mission to take back thanksgiving from their wives and not wait until 3pm to eat! Oh these guys are so naughty I love them all lol. Chance shares a special moment with the family and Payton is definitely learning from the women of the Reed family.
Sebastian and Maggie have a heated discussion about the numbers on a team and a surprise that's tops the day off perfectly. Cap has to get the guys together and figure out a battle plan because war is headed their way and the guys sometimes need straightening out as only Cap can. We get a bit more of a glimpse at the relationship between Coop and his daughter Kayla which is exciting as they have more in store for us. I loved Payton showing Chance and her uncles Gabe and Jackson her moves, priceless. Alec and Florrie are becoming attached to Reid which could bring more trouble and Knight is off being Knight and it is wonderful. I love when the ladies are told to stay home and the guys flounder under pressure so funny, a great scene. The tension and fear between Coop and Becky is electric, I cannot wait to see more of them together. Cazzo and Chris clear the air before they head into battle. Reid finally starts to open up and what he reveals could bring more danger to the Reed family. However Knight is part of the Reed family and he is one magnificent male so wont allow his family to be at risk *swoon*.
The Galmacci's are having a family Christmas, what could go wrong! Christmas is coming to Reed security, especially for Reid, Florrie will make sure of it. I love how these guys all band together and act just like the family that they are. Its beautiful to read. Caps version of a night before Christmas was hilarious, I love how even the kids know that Uncle Knight won't take orders from anyone including Santa/ Uncle Nick hehe. Tensions continue to mount between Coop and Becky. Morgan and Chance are excited for their big day even though there may be trouble ahead. The wives start taking matters into their own hands s the guys are not listening. Payton is a little ninja. The guys are preparing for war and Aurora is starting to learn the truth about her family. The war is here, Reed Security have got this, they planned and accounted for every possibility, except their women. The most powerful threat of all. Sinner is his amazing self. Chance and Morgan finally get their magical moment and have the most perfect wedding that only the Reed crew can give. Who is Parker and what secrets does he hold? Knight finished tying up loose ends and finally admits to himself at least that being part of Reed Security and having extended family and friends maybe isn't so bad after all. Becky and Coop finally find some common ground and agree to be together even if a day at a time, I'm delighted they are giving things a try, I can't wait to read more about them and see the romance blossom. Maybe Becky will now return to Reed. Especially after the Christmas magic that they witness. This is a wonderful addition to a great series, it has the action and adventure with high stakes drama we want but it also gives us snap shots in time from various characters perspectives and we see things from their view and feelings as the story progresses which keeps the characters we all love and cherish so much still at the forefront even if not the main characters this time around. It keeps readers engaged throughout and invested in their favourite ones. Which in turn allows the fun and hilarious moments to continue but also those intimate and precious moments between our beloved couples continue to be enjoyed as the story as a whole moves forward. A well written story that shows why these characters and series is loved so much. I highly recommend that all books within this series are read in order to fully appreciate the characters and storylines. Happy Reading.

Book 21 - Rocco - Reed Security Series

Rocco is the twentieth book in the fantastically fabulous Reed Security Series and it was brilliant. Giulia has the ability to create characters, scenarios and storylines that you can't help but love and stay with you long after you have finished reading which is a true writers gift. This story features around Rocco Turner who joined Derek and Hunter's team when Lola changed positions at Reed security a few books prior to this one. Since his arrival we have seen him join and thrive amongst the Reed Security family as a brither in ams and as a medic and he even received the unexpected gift of his beautiful babygirl Evelyn Rose Turner, Evie as she is affectionately named. He hasn't had long term girlfriends as he is focused on his job and Evie. He also lives by a particular set of rules that help him and any potential bedmates navigate any awkwardness or expectations which is hilarious that he even has these rules and more so that he takes them seriously. His world is run by structure and routine so when the spirited Brooke Sanders who we met in Book nineteen, The Wolf, as she is Reese's best friend, enters his well organised life he doesn't know what hit him. Brooke is a spitfire when riled up but most of the time her easy going nature and go with the flow attitude make her different from any other woman Rocco has met before and he doesn't quite know how to read her at times. We meet Brooke as she is starting a new life, moving in with her current boyfriend thinking everything is right in her world for the moment at least but she does not expect to walk into their kitchen and find her boyfriend engaging in sex with another man and them both enjoying some BDSM. She quickly learns her boyfriends true feelings about her and that she was to be his beard. Not happy with that position in life Brooke did what she felt she had to. She goes on a rampage with a baseball bat destroying his prized possessions and then causing maximum destruction to his precious car. Once she learns the cops have been called she goes on the run, kidnaps Rocco from a gas station and holds him hostage while she figures how to live a life on the run. Rocco being instantly attracted to his captor allows himself to be taken until he can figure what kind of trouble this gorgeous woman has gotten them both mixed up in. Once captured, arrested and prosecuted Brooke is sentenced to a whole year of house arrest with Rocco as her close protection and keeper of her probation. Shocked at spending a year with him under house arrest is one thing, finding out he has a daughter when you have already made it clear you are not interested in snottynosed kids is an entirely different level for Brooke to process altogether along with her fighting a crazy attraction to her jailor. The guys try to be supportive to Rocco as only they can. The wives are quieter in this book but when they appear they make up for it in spades. Lindsey and Ice shared a moment that made me chuckle. Cap is playing matchmaker. Knight is being Knight, intense glares, intense security features and killer robots. Just another day for him really but he does it all with such swagger. Even Cap gives him a round of applause which is wholeheartedly well deserved. Knight is a legend its all there is to it. The drama and action are throughout this story as some of the guys find themselves in situations from jobs that are anything but straightforward. Parker is back we need to know more about him for sure, he is very mysterious indeed. The chemistry between Brooke and Rocco is instantly and explosive and adds to their relationship. The humour and camaraderie throughout always make me laugh out loud and perfectly balance out all the drama and action. Another great book in an outstanding series. I can't wait to see who falls next! Great job Giulia.
I highly recommend that all books within this series are read in order to fully appreciate the characters and storylines. Happy Reading.

Wolf:
Craig: This fool does everything backwards. A slight robbery at the town's coffee shop, got Craig all up in his feels with Reese. A patron who isn't like anyone else. He felt the connection and tried to be suave. He failed big time with her when he pulled out his gun to take care of the robbers. Craig tried to get her to notice him, but he was failing big time. He needed a plan, and as you know, the Reed Men aren't the ones to go and get advice from, but he does, and things take a thing for the worse. He's on the run with Reese after kidnapping her from her kidnapper. I'm for real. This man gets Knight involved to scare her, but what happens after that will have you shaking your head.
Reese just wants to be left alone. She doesn't want everything that Craig is offering. Her life was just fine before he plowed his way into hers. She's tried everything she can to get him off her back, but when a threat comes in on her life, it's Craig to save the day, until she finds out the reason for everything.

A Reed Christmas.
This is one for the books. Stories of weapons danced through their heads. This is a story that will make you shake your head. The way these guys come up with certain things will have you giggling, and just wanting more of their crazy shenanigan's.

Rocco
What do you do when you catch your boyfriend cheating on you with another man the day you're moving into his house? Go crazy with a baseball bat and vandalize his stuff. Yup! That is exactly what Brooke does. Then she takes Rocco hostage. You would think she would know who Rocco was, but she doesn't, and it makes it all the better.
When the guys at Reed come to his rescue, they don't let him in on who Brooke is, but she finally figures out who he is. She's in a lot of trouble, and the only outcome is HOUSE ARREST! Thank to CAP. Rocca gets a built in babysitter, but doesn't trust her since she hates kids. This story will have you feeling all sorts of something. Rocca wants her, but doesn't need a woman who doesn't like kids, and Evie is his life. Throw in some Knight antics, and you got yourself a story of two people who are putting their differences aside to help each other.

creepy and selfish

Craig and Reese’s story gave me the heeby jeebies as he rips her life apart, steals her home and her privacy and is aided and abetted by the police, her supposed best friend, and his co-workers. It doesn’t matter that it’s all in the name of love!!! It’s not right! Stories like this have a danger of normalizing abnormal behaviour and that’s not cool. Not even for a story. Reese’s best friend is the object of my other issue, I don’t mind that she doesn’t like children or that she keeps her mother’s disease hidden. She pissed me off because she thought it was okay to physically attack someone and then kidnap someone else all in the name of her hurt fucking pride. Then when she’s given the chance for a super reasonable solution she acts like a complete bitch for most of the time. I don’t care that her parents were arsewipes, she’s just a selfish bitch. I know that’s what some people are like and the author does an amazing job coming up with complex personalities but I think I just object to it when obviously shitty people get given the time of day. I suppose it’s one of those series where if you don’t go with the flow, don’t read the stories. 😑

I loved this story.

Brooke and Rocco's story started with Brooke destroying her boyfriend’s house and her beating him with a bat. Then she runs away, because he called the police. Then she thinks she “kidnaps” Rocco and makes him help her escape. They are caught and have to spend a day or two in jail. Brooke is pleads guilty and Cap is able to get Brooke put on House Arrest for a year in Rocco’s house.
Rocco has some pretty strange rules (written) that he has for any women he deals with. The rules alone are worth reading the book. Also, Rocco has a two year old daughter that was left at his “doorstep “. Brooke does like children and finds them discussing. This may sound like I’ve given away too much, but believe me, there is so much more in this book. There is adventure, love, humor and some wisdom in it.

Not a fan of secret cameras

Another box set three story's
First one is storm finally settling in with everyone
The next book is a mix of everyone but it's coop and Becky's story really but not much of them with all the other strong characters.
Last book is Rocco he was left with a 3 month old baby a few books back now she is nearly two and reeces friend Brooke meets him at a very low point in her life. I found her sentence a little harsh after what she witnessed most people would understand.I also found the videos around the house watching them have sex is creepy and would be really want another man see his women naked and in passion? They are ment to be friends

THIS ONE - is/was a Bit Much

I skipped A LOT of this box set - and I'm sure I missed some good story BUT there's only so much I can deal with (and THAT is all I'm gonna say about THAT) EACH reader must decide for themselves what they "like" or don't "like" about a story. BUT, I LOVE this family. The Reed Security community is so much fun, the characters are kick-ass, the situations (for the most part) are so interesting. You really don't want to miss it!
Thank you for your time, talent AND THE STORIES!

Great reads - books 19 - 21

Great reads - books 19 - 21
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.

Perfect Knight

For the man who doesn't care he came through for Craig, Alec and Florrie, and Rocco. This man goes above and beyond now that he's domesticated as much as a wild animal can be anyway. This wonderful lady hit this set outta the park again! I also want to say that I love that these books don't end in a cliffhanger and that they don't actually end. They pick up where the last left off and it makes the journey that much more exciting!!

[Kari Williams · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great again

I'm going to miss these characters. This has been such a fun series to read. I've been all over the map emotionally with them and completely invested in how things progress. I love that I know every character and yet I never get tired of any of them. These men make me Crack up laughing and swoon when they turn on the charm. It just doesn't get old at all. I mean, heck! I just finished book 21! Lol

Fantastic read

Another great box set in this series. The guys are off chasing bad guys and babies are being conceived right left and centre. The women get in trouble and the guys come running. Fab books.

[dianna fifield · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great series

These stories were great to read they had the dangerous jobs and some very scary results but they also had the guys and their ladies doing the same silly conversations that broke the serious stuff they get into. I am a big fan of this series

Three hot alpha males are tamed by three hot women

I would recommend these books and the continuing series for mature readers that enjoy stories that are a combination of funny, steamy, suspenseful, and romantic, with strong characters both male and female.

Hanging!!

This was a very great book. Lots of laughing and some very scary parts. It did leave the reader hanging though. No follow-up on the cult in Montana or does Brooke have a genetic disease or NOT??? Have to continue the series to find out!!

[Kelly Bolt · Rating 5 out of 5]

love the Reed family

I love these characters sooo much, I dream about them. Everytime I think I can’t love anyone more, the next character is introduced and I am just more in love and I enjoy how the old characters are still there with all their wonderful personalities as well.
