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.
Burg I swear I was all over with emotions with these books. If it wasn't me laughing one minute, I was crying the next. Burg's story will have your heart breaking. After finding the one woman who completes him, it tends to take a turn for the worst. Not with some killer coming for them in a way you might think, but in a way that they might not even make it alive. Not a they in that sense, but a who. Emma was the one, she was the smart perfect woman for Blake. They got pregnant, and married right away. It was just something that they did. After having the baby, Emma noticed something about her body that wasn't right. Burg and Emma went through hell in this story. They fought through the tough times, but in the end, one of the was bound to give up. It had taken a toll on their marriage, but also, in the sense of one was still fighting while the other was about to give up. Nothing was working, and it was almost the end, until it wasn't. Yes, this story was an emotional one, but in the end, everything happened for a reason, and what did you expect from a Reed Man?
Gabe: Talk about fighting the dragon. When you take a one night stand home from a bar, and have the best night of your life with them, only to find out she's still married, has kids, and is the sister to one of your teammates, things are about to take a turn for the worst. Cazzo isn't too happy that Gabe is sleeping with his sister. A sister who is still married and is trying to help her fix her marriage. Isa doesn't want to fix her marriage. That ship has sailed, but everything is about to go up in flames when Gabe and Cazzo get involved in Isa's life. Her ex-husband wants her back, and it take a lot of bad mouthing Isa for Cazzo to see what his brother in law really is. Not the same person he thought. Now, can Cazzo accept that Gabe will be around for more than just a teammate, and can Gabe convince Isa they were made for each other?
Jules: He's always wanted the woman who was always on the run, only he didn't know it at the time. She was hiding from her past, but never told anyone the real reason. Now, being involved with Jules for more than a year, everything is coming around full circle for her. Her past is coming back to haunt her and it might be the end. With everything that is going on, someone from her past is out to get her, even though she had nothing to do with it, but when Jules makes the quick decision to stay behind on a mission to make sure his teammates go home to their families, everyone is shocked to know that Jules has a case of Amnesia. Ivy spent a week by his side when he was in a coma, but when he wakes up and has no idea who she is, things might never be the same for her and Jules, unless he remembers her. Now with a past threatening to put her behind bars for some crazy things she doesn't even remember doing, Jules has to make a quick decision on whether the woman everyone claims he loves is innocent or guilty, no that she's pregnant with their child. The antics in this story are ones to make you giggle as your read, but your heart will go out to this couple on more than one occurrence.
This box set is worth more than five stars ,double it!Especially Burg's and Emma 's story!It was such a beautiful love story to turn tragic. It was so hard to read the breast story even after being worned about it before ,but they truly fought hard and refused to give up,it was beautiful to read,and I cried from start to finish and I'm still crying while trying do this review. Gabe's story was just what I needed,lots of laughs.Ivy and Jules's story was another storyline, from the beginning to the end!I do think if Ivy told Jules her secret past it might save some steps,I thought Jules 's was a goner in that last shoot out but he came back but almost to late.That Rachel was sew mean and hateful to do everything she did to Ivy,from paying someone to spike her drinks to murder some poor defense women because her ex boyfriend killed her husband and Ivy was innocent! In Gabe and Isabella 's storyline I really got a laugh Isa's son learn to use his little wanker,I just burst out laughing. Another laugh was when Isa's brother found out those doing the nasty behind his back.For anyone that hasn't read these books you,just have hankies handy,just don't give you will miss out!
All three of the books in this box set were great. Each is so different that you don’t feel like you’re reading the same book with different names. The men from Reed Security and their wives still show up for each other, but the problems and solutions are different and show the way we all should be brave enough to be. The first book shows the struggle of 2 people, Emma and Burg, who finally find love only to have their lives threaten by a life ending health issue. The second one is with Gabe and Isabella, Cazzo's younger sister, who has 2 young children, an ex-husband who wants her back and a that brother who forgets she is grown. This one is full of humor. I actually laughed out loud a few times. The last one is with Jules and Ivy. Watch for them in the first book, there is an unforgettable scene there. This one has two tragedies one at the beginning and another the end. Both could be life ending, but the friends do all they can with helping with each. I enjoyed all three.
If like to point out that Burg and Jules stories were heartbreaking for different reasons. I felt for Jules so much because he lost everything and had to relive painful memories. I know Burg did too and PTSD is a challenge that so many face on a day to day basis. Knight always pulls through for every member of the team even though he hates social events he is always there when he's needed without having to be asked. Gabe was happy and I'm sure a tad bit masochistic. Jules and Ivy deserved the happiness they found.
This is one of the most emotional storylines I have ever read. Incorporating painful real life scenarios. Couldn't put this down, even when the tears were running down my face. Oh my goodness. Gabe's story again everyday situations. Knew that Jules and Ivy would get together but can't wait to see what their angle is. I did think that the culprit was getting to Ivy using the key stashed above her door. On to the next one😘
Great reads - books 10-12 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.
This boxed set has it all more drama more laughs and most of the alpha males interaction with each other. There are some very heart wrenching parts so be prepared for everything. Enjoy I will be reading the next box set and continuing my journey with these wonderful series
I am a survivor of triple negative, adrogen receptor breast cancer. I was in the category of less than 4% of even getting this...but I did. I could so relate to Emma. All the books in this series were so emotional. Crying one minute...laughing the next. Giulia you are my hero!!!
Good story, winding, and intense in areas. The last scene with ivy and jules getting freaky was too much. 🍑 action is def just...nope. I can def do without that. Beyond that, I feel the ending was a bit anticlimactic. We don't see ivy giving birth and jules reaction. So that was just a bit dull.
OK, so the banter of these men when they try to understand women has me laughing my butt off. Seriously, theses men are fierce alphas and they are such adorable goofballs that I can't get enough of them.
I've read all the first ones. I liked them all some more than others. I wish there weren't so much cussing, the stories are all great and people from the first ones are part of the last ones.I will continue until I read them all though
Nonstop adventures, steamy scenes lots of suspense, and romance with happily ever afters.
I like how each book seamlessly leads into the next one, also the recurring characters in each story, as well as new characters. Would only recommend for mature readers.
this box set was the best yet... Jules and Ivy's story was amazing ... i truly love the authors way with words.. the laughter the crying moments the hilarity of the guys and their understanding of women..lol
The further along I get in this series the more and more I feel like a part of the Reed Security family and am just head over heels in love with each of their stories.
I just love the men from Reed Security and their women. This set of books had me laughing, crying and couldn't wait too read page after page. I would recommend reading this.
