Gabe is the 11th book in the Reed Security series. It is suggested they are read in order.“What’s all this?” Cap asked.“You asked me to bring dishes.”“No,” he said slowly. “I asked you to bring a dish.”“Yeah, and when I asked what kind, you wouldn’t f&king answer me. You just said enough for everyone. So, I dug through my cabinets and brought every f&king dish I could find.”I pointed to … f&king dish I could find.”
I pointed to all the dishes scattered on the counter. Sinner was laughing at me and Cap was groaning. I just stood there staring at them.
“I don’t get what’s so f&king funny.”
“A dish, a$$hole. You know, food?” Cap laughed.
“No, a dish is just that, a f&king dish. If you wanted me to bring food, you should have f&king asked.”
“I did!” Cap said loudly. “I said that everyone was being asked to bring a dish.”
“Since when does that equate to food? Food is food. A dish is something you put food in.”
“That’s what women call it,” Sinner laughed. “When you go to someone’s house and they ask you to bring a dish, they mean a dish of food.”
“Do I look like a woman to you? Do I look like the type of guy that would know what the f&k ‘a dish’ is, besides the obvious?”
“Man, if you’re ever gonna get a woman to settle down with, you’re going to have to learn their lingo,” Sinner laughed. “A dish means food, unless it means a dish.”
“Thank you for that, a$$hole. Now it all makes sense.”
He squeezed my shoulder. “No problem. You’ll get the hang of it. It’s really not too hard once you have a few hundred fights.”
“Or you could do what I do and just keep a f&king list on the fridge,” Cap said.
“Yeah? How many lists are you up to now?” I questioned. “How do you even keep track of what list is for what?”
“It’s pretty simple. I have a list for things I’m supposed to say in certain situations. I have a list of things never to say. I have a list of chores that she expects me to do right away. I have a list of things I can put off without pissing her off too much. And last but not least, I have a list of different looks and phrases, and their meanings.”
“Now that sounds like it would be helpful. Isn’t there some kind of book that women write to let us dumb f&ks know what the hell they’re thinking?”
Sinner shook his head. “Unfortunately, no. They think we should just ‘know’ this stuff or ‘figure it out’ on our own. Like I have time to sit there and decipher every look and tone in her voice,” he scoffed.
Gabe. Sexy, badass protector with some interesting sexual proclivities.
Isabella. Mother of two and currently filing for divorce.
One night at a bar brought them together, but could Gabe opening the door the morning after actually tear them apart?
He’s not ready to walk away, yet she’s not sure she’s ready to move on. Before he even realizes it, he’s falling for her and her adorable hellions.
He’ll do anything to keep her, including following the unorthodox advice from Knight.
But someone wants her out of the picture, and that only fuels his desire to keep her forever.
They say you don’t realize what you’ve got until it’s gone…

What can I say about this book? It’s so funny I was laughing out loud, The main character is romantic and sexy. It’s suspenseful and I couldn’t stop reading it. I loved it and I plan on reading the rest of the book in this series. All the books can be read as stand alones.
This is a fantastic story which is well written and filled with witty banter, humour, and an entertaining read.
I got several questioning looks from my husband while reading from my chuckles to full out laughter.

I liked the premise of the book, I think it would have been better if I had read the previous books first as the characters obviously play an important role throughout all of the series. The H and h are a bit juvenile in their dealings with each other. The h was married and in the process of getting a divorce and she kept going back and forth about having a relationship with the H. I wish she had made a decision and stuck with it instead of going back and forth. Some of the book was pretty funny, some not so much. I would like to read other books by this author as she is new to me.

former special ops guy who work a security team together go more than a little above and beyond.
they have each others back, and watch out for each others families.
Gabe is a dedicated bchelor when he meets Issa at a local hot spot.
She says she is looking for a good time and thins he can do the job, and he accepts the challenge.
they all get a big surprise the next morning when her brother bangs on the door at the crack of dawn with her kids in tow – Gabe sees his teammate Cazzo there with the kids, and Cazzo carries a righteous anger with some light weapons.
Gabe might initially have been relieved that Issa is the sister to Cazzo, but Casso leaving him shoe-less and tied up in a warehouse in Pittsburgh not not leave him singing a happy tune.
Somehow, this crazy pair might be able to survive some dangerous situations, her crazy kids, his insane and socially awkward teammates, and her annoying, ungrateful ex – they might thrive if they give each other a chance to learn to trust and believe.
Fun and humorous – and currently a great KU read!

Gabe meets a woman at the bar that he is more than happy to help satisfy her. The next morning doesn’t go as planned, he has to answer the door and finds Cazzo there with kids, then finds out that he slept with Cazzo sister. Gabe knows he would have wanted to see Isa again, but Cazzo made it very clear she was off limits and she had kids which he had no idea what to do with.
Isa can’t help thinking about Gabe, but she needed Matteo to sign the divorce papers. At a company party everything is going well, Isa can’t stop starring at Gabe holding Enzo, until her brother lets her know her husband is in town and she should make an effort.
When Gabe shows at her door Isa can’t fight it she wants him and they both know it, after Gabe asks if he should be worried, he doesn’t want to be the guy while she figures out what she wants, he wants to see what could happen between them. Being honest Isa lets him know she doesn’t know if she’s ready to move on after the marriage she just came out of and she need Matteo to sign the divorce papers not try to get her back.
Every time Gabe sees that he wants what he can with Isa and sees a future with her she takes two steps back and he wonders if they can ever move forward. As always, the boys try to help Gabe realise what he’s done wrong and he’s feeling only confused more, but he knows what he wants and just needs Isa to catch up with her feelings. She will eventually the Reed Security men know what they want and are determined to get it.
Get ready for a fun and exciting story with Gabe, Isabella and the kids. When Gabe first set eyes on Isabella he knows that she is the one but Isabella is just getting over a divorce with the ink not even dry on the papers. Gabe is so caught up and he is hilarious with the kids so you can’t help but cheer them on. The story is inspiring and captivates from start to finish.

A one night stand turns into a bumpy long term love between Gabe and single mom Isabella. There were some real laugh out loud moments for me in this one, mostly around the mischief Isabella’s two kids could into, and the relationship between Gabe and Cazzo. I loved the scene where Gabe’s friends “help” him with his attire for a date. The chemistry between Gabe and Isa was sizzling! It wouldn’t be a Reed Security book unless there was some action, and a mystery to solve. Enjoyed the camaraderie of the friends and family, and look forward to the next instalment.
I am voluntarily reviewing this book.
It was a real struggle to finish this book. The premise was good but I found it unrealistic.
First off, the guys talk like they belong in a frat house. I don’t know any guy who gives advice down to what underwear to use for a date and then even tells him how to deal with smell issues down below on himself. I’m sorry, you’re how old and obviously not a virgin but have no idea how to deal with hygiene issues? This wasn’t the only instance that left me feeling this way, through the entire book the immature was rampant.
The “someone wants her out of the picture” was exaggerated in the blurb and seemed like just a way to add some drama to the book.

I have read every book in this series and it’s companion series “For the Love of a Good Woman” and I have to say this one was distinctly different and thoroughly enjoyable. The others are usually very serious and stressfully suspenseful but this one is light, fun and sweet with a touch of mystery. Gabe knows practically from the moment he lays eyes on Isabella that she is his light, his future, his everything but Isabella has just left her husband, the divorce not even final. She is not looking for another relationship and Gabe’s intensity from the get go keeps her on edge and fearful of what he wants. The ensuing tale of them finding how they work in each others world, especially Gabe’s hysterical interactions with Isa’s children, is laugh out loud, smile on your face well written fun. I loved this change of pace. Well done. I sucked this one down in less than 4 hours. I just could not stop reading it. I couldn’t wait to read the next insane thing Gabe would say or do. The thong scene had my laughing so hard. I highly recommend this one and all of the rest of the books in this series and “For the Love of a Good Woman”. Great reads. Well worth your precious reading time.

So far I have loved everyone one of Giulia Lagomarsino’s books, they just get better and better and this one is no exception. Gabe has appeared in quite a few previous books but none have given you much into he’s background, just a few little hints along the way and this made him so much more mysterious. I’ve been dying for this book to be released.
Gabe meets a hot lady in a bar and thinks it’s going to be another night of steamy sex, but this lady makes a huge impression on him straight away, not only with the way they get along, but the fact she has children which Gabe doesn’t mind but the real spanner in the works turns out to be her brother who Gabe works with……
The story is really romantic, and hilarious in places, you will not be disappointed…

Once again Giulia nailed it with Gabe’s story. It was a great story to follow the emotional story of Burg! The laugh out loud moments between Isabella fun Gabe were my favorite part of the story!! As always the ineraction between these reed security guys never stops making me laugh and cry at the same time. Watching these two try and fight the HEA that was coming for them had me flipping constantly. Can not wait for the next story and to once again get some ineraction amongst the guys and gals of reed sevurity!!

You know an author has done her job, especially a series, when you want to hang out with each and everyone of her characters. Giulia Lagomarsino has done it again, with what might be my favorite couple Gabe and Iza!! I got several questioning looks from my husband while reading from my chuckles to full out laughter. All the Reed Security Team are protective, alphas who love with their whole being. And the same is true of their partners!! Well written, well paced, and super steamy…my favorite, so far!!
I loved Reading Gabe’s story. He few quick and hard. Both sides had to learn how to navigate in the relationship in terms of trust, and he proper type on boxers and panties! I really like how readers get to learn what is going on in the lives of past lead characters. There are some answers to a long storyline across multiple books too. Looking forward to more.

I love a book that causes me to laugh out loud and this book did just that. Isa is a relatable character being a stressed out single mom who has an over protective older brother. Gabe is an amazingly wonderful guy who still manages to put his foot in his mouth a few times but shows her he is just what she is looking for!

Gabe is the 11th book in the Reed Security series. It is suggested they are read in order. This story had me laughing so hard I had tears rolling down my cheeks. All I am going to say is get this book and I hope if you do you like it as much as I did.
This book was another stunner in this series. I have loved every page of this story. It was wonderful beyond belief. The author has set the bar so high, all others fall far short. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book in exchange for a free copy.
What a wonderful change of pace, where the guy is desperate to get the girl, and the girl only wants a one night stand. That’s the case for Gabe and Isabella! There’s intrigue and action; as someone is not happy about Gabe seeing Isabella. There are some laugh out loud moments, that I just love! This is my first reading this author, and I guarantee you, absolutely will not be my last! This book rocked!

Isa’s been going through a bit of a tough time after the break-up of her marriage, and what was only supposed to be a one night stand soon becomes so much more. It doesn’t take long for Gabe to integrate himself into Isa and her kids lives seen as they’ve made their way under his skin and into his heart, there’s a good few bumps along the way which keep us fully engrossed and entertained in the book and as always there’s the men of Reed Security with their humour and witty banter we’ve all grown to love. One of the other things I loved about this book was how much I as a woman/mother could relate to the trials and tribulations of being a parent, Giulia was on point with her descriptive passages.
