I just finished Jack, and I have to say I am hooked! This has to be some of the most realistic writing I have ever come across. I mean, it’s relatable and has a full spectrum of emotions. Page turning, Kindle burning awesome read!- Jeanette StockmanJack is a romantic comedy, the first book in the series For The Love Of A Good Woman. It can be read as a standalone, but the characters are … the characters are intertwined in the rest of the series.
“Do I need to worry about this being poisoned?”
Harper turned to me with a glare. “Excuse me?”
“Well, I mean, you already told me that you had plans to murder me at work. Figured maybe this was a sneak attack.”
Sean turned to Harper. “Seriously? You told him you had plans to murder him?”
“No, I was posing a scenario in which we wouldn’t be together anymore.”
“And one of those scenarios was you murdering him.”
Harper started to get flustered and couldn’t find the right words to say. I inwardly laughed. The guys were just busting her chops, but I thought it was hilarious. She got herself into this and she could get herself out.
“I was just… I was saying that people break up and it wasn’t smart to move in together.”
Cole was the next to speak up. “So he asks you to move in and you plot to murder him?”
Jack
When I saw her on the side of the road, I knew that something was different about her. I was attracted to her more than I had been to any woman before her. Our chemistry was explosive, but then so was her temper. It wasn’t just her beauty that attracted me though. She’s smart and independent, and every time she fights me, I want to fight even harder to keep her. I’m just your average guy, trying to figure out the mind of the woman he loves.
Harper
He’s smoking hot and if I wasn’t so accident prone around him, I might be able to show him that I’m an intelligent woman that can take care of myself. I want Jack more than anything, but my heart just doesn’t want to trust that this will all work out. And when things start to go south, I’m not sure we’ll be able to survive. Especially once he learns my secret.
Jack was named one of the best books of all time by BookAuthority.

Awesome and Super sexy!
Terrific book. Romantic and hilariously funny. I enjoyed all the characters and it was realistic too. I especially enjoyed the friendship between Harper and Drew. I know that people often say men and women can’t be friends like that unless the man is gay, but I have had a guy friend like that. I just wish I could get a guy like Jack.
Maybe I could go over and lick his neck. Just a little nibble. I bet his skin tastes salty. I could run my tongue up his neck and then nibble on his earlobe…. I was snapped out of my fantasy when he laughed and I could swear a blush was creeping up his neck. “Do you always say what you’re thinking? Because what you’re suggesting sounds pretty good to me.”
One thing I really love in romance novels is the first meeting between the two main characters, and that meeting in this book and really the whole time between when they first meet and they go their separate ways after that first meeting is completely awesome. It is hilarious and completely sexy. I loved it. That alone was worth reading this book.
What a rollercoaster ! It mostly had me in stitches, but at points I had tears falling . If this is just the first book I can’t wait to read the rest. It’s so well written you become immediately immersed and invested in the characters.
This is the first book of the series, “For The Love Of A Good Woman” and I’m going to be honest, this is the first book I’ve ever read from this author but when I started reading this story, I liked the flow of it. I will admit that there were twists that I didn’t expect and some I didn’t like that happened but at the end everything works out and Jack and Harper against all odds, get their happy ending 🙂 Next up is… Cole! I can’t wait to read his story next and hopefully he’ll get his woman back!? We shall see!
Jack is an amazing, caring, overbearing, Alpha male! Harper is a feisty, say what’s on her mind woman! And when the two meet, it’s nothing but sparks! Giulia Lagomarsino is an amazing storyteller, this book is a must read!
4.8 stars
This is the first book in the For the Love of a Good Woman series and it is a rip-roaring riot that will have your sides burning with laughter. Jack is a mechanic who owns his own business when he comes upon a damsel in distress, Harper. Harper is a woman with a good heart and prone to accidents with a personality that can go from zero to sixty in no time flat. When these two get together, the sparks are flying and the humor pours through the pages as readers get to experience Harper’s crazy. The story is full of steamy scenes so if that is not your thing, you have been warned. Overall, this is a drama infused entertaining read from beginning to end and I look forward to reading more from this series.
I enjoyed reading the first half of this book about Jack and Harper. The way they met and Harper unwittingly vocalizing her inner thoughts created for some hilarious moments that had me chuckling. She also had a tendency to get herself into situations that were funny. Jack and Harper had great chemistry right from the beginning and their sex live was super hot. I really enjoyed their interactions with Jack’s friends and how they tried to help this couple when they encountered issues in their relationship. The second half of the book was a bit angsty for me and the some of Harper’s actions just did not sit well with me considering how much she loved Jack; they just seemed so out of character for her and I did not like it. Jack and Harper did get their HEA but I had a bit of a problem on how they got there. Overall, I did enjoy this book by author Giulia Lagomarsino and looking forward to reading the next book in this series.

Yes it’s true. This book made me laugh so hard I cried snorted, and yes even peed a bit. That actually is high praise for a book. I loved this storyline. Jack and Harper are amazing. This is a fast-paced, page turning, sheet burning read you don’t want to miss

I’ve done this a bit backward and I’ve read Reed Security first – so this series has a lot to live up to.
It didn’t disappoint at all.
Harper seems to have the worst of luck, but in her bad luck she meets Jack.
Harper and Jack have that instant connection, but Jack often says things he means in the wrong way, having to do a lot of explaining to Harper to get to what he actually means to get her to calm down.
While Jack learns to deal with the death threats from Harper as normal.
With everything going great between Harper and Jack they talk about the future and it seems they both want different things, but can they work it out.
Can’t wait to see what the next book in the series brings.
First in this series and it is another hit with mechanic Jack and romance writer Harper. They meet on side of the road and it is instant attraction for both plus the added humor in this story will keep you intrigued and reading.
I was about to start Sinner, which I am looking forward to when I read the author’s note to start here, so I did. I think for a first book, it’s pretty good and I read reviews that said they did’t like this one but the others get better and better. I liked the two main characters Harper and Jack and even laughed a few times but most of the scenes seemed to come out of funny movies. They were predictable and that spoiled it. Half way, the read took a nose dive for me. I did not like what the author did and I skimmed through the rest. so it had promised but was disappointing. I think I’ll go back to Skinner and hope for the best.

The storyline was a bit different from the norm, you know, the regular boy meets girl, they date, fall in love, get married.
The characters are enjoyable, and the storyline flowed well with some surprising twists.
This was a very honest take on a relationship, with ups and downs, major drama, super steamy sexy times, and some funny moments.

Jack and Harper are a crazy match, from the moment he sweeps her up off the street from the pavement where she sprained her foot
Assault by turkey, door smashing sex, breakups and makeups
Steamy, hilarious and intense romance

Harper’s car breaks down in the rain and she’s wearing her pj’s. She falls in a puddle, and Jack stops to help her. Let the hilarity begin! These two are a hot mess. Harper is accident prone. Every time something breaks, Jack knows someone who can fix it. They fall hard and fall fast, and they’re perfect for each other, even when they think they’re not. The book is lol-funny much of the time. It’s fun and witty, and I can’t wait to read the next in the series. This is my first book from this author that’s NOT in the Reed Security series, and I just loved it!

Not what I was expecting
Jack is the first book in the For The Love Of A Good Woman series and is the story of Jack and Harper. I have read a number of Giulia Lagomarsino books and really enjoyed them. Jack is a story that was written in 2017 and I have to say that it does show the progression of her writing when compared to her more current books. When I was finished reading this book I was not really sure how I felt about the couple. At different points I wanted to either kick them each in the butt or shake them silly to get their brains working. Then there were times where I did laugh and really enjoy the story. In the end the story was not quite what I had expected and it was okay.

I knew Giulia Lagomarsino would give me a great ride. I read and loved all of her books in the Reed Security series and I admittedly had so-so expectations for this series. I am so glad you proved me wrong. Jack and Harper are a great couple and play so well off of each other. This book has all the elements of a perfect rom-com, humor, chemistry, steam, a little angst, and great characters. The book held my attention from start to finish, and I cant wait for more in this series. Congratulations Giulia on another awesome series.

Having been a fan of this author’s Reed Security series, I was stoked at the chance to start from the beginning. Jack, a mechanic, owns his own garage & helps Harper, a writer whose car has broken down on the side of the road. Their love story never ends and turns into a second chance kind of thing-it’s a long, hard-fought journey for these two. Loved meeting the all the characters, with their trademark quirkiness & some hilarious situations.

Good funny romance, then more intense
4.5
I liked the characters, but especially Harper who is a walking disaster, often bordering on madness with her extreme reactions. The story is about Harper and Jack’s couple building, quite surprising in their behaviors, reactions and expectations as neither of them expected to end up with someone.
The story is well written, very hot, but also a bit melodramatic in a good way, and what seemed predictable becomes quite surprising in the end.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book
I started the series sort of backwards and I am now reading the beginning of the series. Jack and Harper’s story is great. I absolutely loved it. The story line is great and the characters are relatable. Knowing where the series is heading is giving me insight into the characters as they emerge throughout the series.
Jack and Harper are one crazy couple! At times I laughed so hard! The feelings were realistic and I couldn’t put it down! They fall fast and hard, but will they make it work?

This was such a highly entertaining book. There were scenes where one moment I’ll be bawling my eyes out, but then the next scene I’ll be laughing at Haper’s antics. It really made for such an entertaining book. And the series just gets better with each story..Absolutely loved it
