I was just driving down the road one day when I saw her. That was when everything went to shit. Bullets were flying, I was killing guys with a toilet lid. It was insane. And the whole time, I had a scared, timid woman as an accomplice.

I found this latest book by Ms Lagomarsino to be an original & truly delightful spin on the 'on the run' story line.
First, it's the heroine, Hannah, who is the 'bad *ss', who kicks rump & takes names, who leads & directs, educates & protects. She's the one who inadvertently pulls a hapless naive small town man, Josh Cortell, out of his life & world & into her chaotic orbit. She's successfully been evading 'someone' for years who is, & has been, attempting with great tenacity & resources to captu ...more

I knew this book was going to take me for a ride when I read the end of book 2 and omg what a ride it took me on.
I loved Josh and Carlys story. When I first started I was like who the hell is Hannah don't you dare tell me he's been missing all this time cheating with another woman! but then i got off my high horse and it all became clear so I could breathe a sigh of relief. I got lost in the drama of this book. Its full of action, deception, pulse racing moments, moments of joy and sadness and ...more

Hannah needs to ensure she is one step ahead of the people who are after her as her life depends on it. Having a flat tire was inconvenient but it may just be the best thing that could ever have happened to her when it brings Josh into her life.
When Josh stopped to help who he believes is a damsel in distress he soon realizes that she is a force to be reckoned with. He turns from Good Samaritan into accomplice even if it means leaving everyone and everything he knows and loves behind. Although n ...more

'Wanted Dead or In Love' is Giulia Lagomarsino's third book in the "Cortell Brothers" series and, in my opinion, the best one so far!! At first, I read the blurb which sent me into a fit of laughter. Did you read it? Yes, you read it correctly, Josh was killing guys with a toilet lid. Now if that didn't somehow strike you funny, then I don't know what would It definitely got my attention and I had to find out just what the heck was going on. This blurb gives you the highlight but you'll have t

Since I started reading the Cortell brothers series, I have been hoping that we get to read Josh’s story. He has been mentioned in every book so far, and now we get to find out what happened. As usual, Lagomarsino doesn’t leave me disappointed.
This book has an original storyline with drama, danger, romance and plenty of action (adventure) as well as some summer. The characters are an excellent addition to existing Cortell brothers family. Highly recommend this book!

Josh has been missing for seven years. His brothers have searched for him everywhere, never giving up hope that he's alive. So, when he appears out of nowhere, brandishing a gun, what explanation could he possibly give to explain his absence all these years?
That morning, seven years ago...
“Josh, it’s so good to see you,” Mary Anne beamed.
“Good to see you too. Do you have anything new on the menu this morning?”
She smiled, a slight blush flushing her cheeks. “Well, I’ve been working on something r ...more
If you know anything of the Cortell brothers from Giulia’s other books then the mysterious disappearance of Josh has kept you intrigued and wondering if we were ever going to find out what happened to him. Well, his story is here and it captivates attention from the blurb alone.
The latest instalment of the Cortell Brothers Series is more reminiscent of the action and drama that Giulia delivered in her Reed Security series rather than the trials and tribulations of small-town life we’ve seen in ...more

As we know from the first 2 books in the series, Josh Cortell has been missing for 7 years and sorely missed by his family. We now get to find out the reason why! Josh is your typical boy next door who loves his family and would do anything for anyone, unfortunately that is what gets him into trouble!
The story starts 7 years ago with Josh noticing a beautiful lady at the gas station whilst on his way to work. They meet again a little while later when Carly/Hannah is stranded by the side of the r ...more

I’ve loved these books by Ms. Lagomarsino so much and Wanted: Dead or in Love did not disappoint. These brothers are fun to read and the women they find are just as fun, but they are also just as strong and tough as well. Josh and Carly’s story is probably my favorite so far, and that is saying something because the first two books were awesome! This story was a bit different than the other two, but it was just as great.

This is the third book in The Cortell Brothers series and it is a jaw dropping, page turning read that will keep you up all night to finish. It is Josh and Hannah’s story and it is one heck of a whirlwind. Talk about wanting to do the right thing but being at the wrong place at the wrong time. Josh had his entire life planned out. He is a small-l town boy born and bred with aspirations of being a mechanic. He comes from a loving family and has seven brothers. Hannah is Josh’s opposite. Her view

Here is the story of the mystery Cortell brother Josh. We had learned he just disappeared in Maintenance Required, but his brothers still hoped he would return. Josh does show up and brings a load of trouble, and we get to meet up with Reed Security members (Woo HOO Knight and Hunter).
From start to finish, this book was a roller coaster of adventure as we discover how Josh and Hannah/Carly meet and end up on the run for seven years. All I know is with every one of these books; I love the Cortel ...more

OMG! Just when I thought this series couldn't get any better, IT DOES! Josh Cortell disappeared seven years ago. It was evident in the first two books just how much it devastated his family. But being the kind of person he is, there was no way he was going to leave Hannah to fend for herself. Soon he learns that no good deed goes unpunished. How does stopping to help change a tire detour a person's life?

Josh & Carly/Cara/Hanna...
Good deeds don't always work out--or do they? Josh was a mechanic and couldn't let a woman by the road with a flat tire change it herself. This time he should have. Soon they were being attacked by some men. Playing dead saved them for the moment but it was just the beginning. Soon it became a game of run and keep running to protect the family he loved with a woman who wasn't what she had seemed.
Carly never planned to bring anyone along on her escape journey. It was eit ...more

Another masterpiece from Giulia..
This is a refreshing take on the whole going on the run story.. For once it's the female lead who kidnaps the guy and she is a total badass too..
Josh is a very refreshing character because he can admit that he gets hid butt kicked by Carly and that she's definitely better at some things. His love for his family is very clear through each chapter and it's great to see his interactions with his brothers.

This is the 3rd book in this awesome series and is Josh and Hannah / Carly’s journey. When Josh comes to Hannah’s aid her never dreamt that he would be going on the run with her to protect his family.

Josh sacrificed so much for his family, and they have been searching for him for 7-years. There comes to a point when he and Carly have n

Just fabulous!
As usual for this author, the story is original, scorching, full of action, suspense, while remaining romantic. It’s exciting from start to finish and I asked myself: what would we do if by accident we had to give up our whole life and our whole family? This is the situation of Jared who because he is a mechanic goes to help Hannah by the side of the road before he becomes a target with her.
The story is just as dramatic as it can be hilarious, all through an unpredictable story.

This is book three in The Cortell Brothers series. I was so pumped to see that it was Josh's story. Seven years ago, it was a regular small town day but Josh stopped at the gas station and Hannah caught his eye. When Hannah runs into trouble, being a true gentleman, Josh stopped to help out. Hannah warned Josh bit he insisted on helping her out. Now they are on the run together. Written in true Giulia fashion this book is full of suspense, twists, steamy sexiness, and of course that trade markin

I received this free eARC novel from the author and Wildfire Marketing Solutions. This is my honest review.
I've been along for the ride of the Cortell Brothers since book 1, so I was extremely happy to see Josh's story and find out what happened to him! And I can't believe this story took a span of 7 years!
I have to admit that I admire how quick Josh was to adapt to his new life, and how quickly he thinks on his feet.

Wanted Dead or In Love (The Cortell Brothers Book Three) by Giulia Lagomarsino. Somethings are not always as they seem as is the case with Josh and Hannah. Both think the other is in on something dark and devious. This just happens to be one of those times- right place, right time or wrong place and wrong time- depending on how you look at it. For these two, it seems fate has stepped in and cupid has his arrow pointed. The book is good, and the author has a flair for story telling that I find ve

Well I will say there is definitely not a dull moment in this book. Josh is the epitome of the boy next door. When he sees Hannah/Carly for the first time he couldn't believe his eyes. When he sees her for the second time that is when his life changes drastically. I mean he had no clue what he was getting into when he stopped that day. I love the fact that Hannah/Carly is not a damsel in distress, and is the one who knew what they were doing. Poor Josh was like a fish out of water, but with ...more

In only a way that Giulia could do we meet Hannah and Josh.
Hannah has been on the run for four years and everything was going fine, until she meets Josh and men start chasing her, knowing his life is now at risk she gets him to go with her.
Josh never realised stopping to change a tire and be a gentleman would have him running for his life, he would be giving false names and back stories and relying on a woman that he didn’t even know if she was sane.

I received an advance copy of “Wanted Dead or In Love” to read and review. What can I say except Josh’s story was full of action, passion, loss and so much. As of right now...he’s my favorite Cortell brother. Eric and Robert were straight fire...but Josh...he was on a whole other level. He sacrificed so much just to protect his family and he never regretted that decision. He was a gentleman from the very first moment and he never gives up. And Hannah...wow...I just can’t even give her the praise

This was the third read in the Cortell brothers and this was as awesome as the other two.
Liking these books would really be an understatement. I have read these three books in one sitting, sacrificed my sleep for them and I can say that I don't regret it at all. they were just too interesting to be kept down.
I loved how the author continues all of these books, like how the second book ended with Josh coming home again after 7 years, and when I read the third book, how it showed what all happen ...more

Josh really gave up everything at the drop of a hat for Carly living on the run not really knowing the full extent of why.
This book really pulls at the heartstrings and makes you cry at the drop of a hat.
Without his family to help guide him Josh feels like he must look after Carly and falling for her doesn't make it easier for him.
Yet there comes a time where he needs his family and as shocking as it is for them to know he's alive things still aren't easy for this couple.

I'm a stay at home mom with a love for romance novels. There's nothing better than reading about a hot, alpha male that makes my heart swoon. I spend most days hanging out with my kids or writing about my next book boyfriend. I love crocheting, sewing, reading, and being outdoors, but in the end, there is nothing better than getting lost in a good book!
