This is the 14th book in the Reed Security Series and the 2nd book of a 3 book arc. The arc books need to be read in order and it is suggested that the rest of the series is read in order as well.Jackson Lewis saved Raegan Cartwright from a terrible situation and has been keeping her and her parents safe. Raegan knows she can trust the sexy man she’s staying with, but her confidence has taken a … confidence has taken a beating. Still, she refuses to be the wilting flower that everyone expects of her. If only she could get Jackson to see that. He sees only what he wants to, sure that her refusal to talk about what happened as a sign she couldn’t move on. But when all hell breaks loose at Reed Security, Raegan is pulled into one dangerous situation after another. When it is discovered that Raegan isn’t just an innocent bystander but directly linked to Reed Security’s current situation, she finds herself even more intertwined and is fully prepared to face her issues head-on. But this is more than just an abusive ex. This is something that involves innocent people and deadly consequences. But Reed Security is relying on her and she won’t let them down.
“Do you want to tell me why you f@king shot me?”
“I didn’t…what? Where?”
He pulled the ripped fabric away from his thigh where blood trickled sluggishly.
“It doesn’t look that bad.”
“It’s not, but why the f@k were you shooting at me?”
“Because I was trying to kill the bad guys,” I shouted.
“Yeah, with your f@king eyes closed! Who does that?”
“I was scared!”
“So, you close your eyes and hope for the best?”
“It was a gut reaction. I didn’t mean to do it. It just happened!”
“And did you mean to follow me and join in the action? Because you were supposed to stay right where you f@king were while I took care of them.”
“You didn’t say that,” I shouted incredulously. “You shoved a gun in my hand and ran away. I thought I was supposed to be your backup or something. Next time say something.”
“There won’t be a next time. I’m not ever giving you a gun again!”
“I’ll do better next time!”
He scoffed. “Yeah, like you might keep your eyes open? Or you’ll try not to shoot me?”
I scowled at him and stomped around the back of the truck and over to the passenger side of the truck, opening the door and hopping in.
“What are you doing?”
“We’re leaving, aren’t we?”
“Not in that truck. There are a man’s innards all over the front. That’s not exactly being discreet.”
“Well, I didn’t know that,” I said, hopping out of the truck and stomping back around to his side. “You could have just said, ‘Hey, Raegan, we’re going to grab a different truck since I just splattered a man against this one. See how easy that is?”
“I would think the fact that there’s a dead man attached to the grill would have clued you in,” he scowled.

This series just gets better, look forward to the next one…
You have to read each one from the start of the series and the men and women within it. I started with Sinner and went on from there. You can’t just read one and move on to another book, oh no, you need to read the next one and the one after that, so on as you find out all the little bits of each character you begin to see the whole story of the series and those behind it. Each character brings their own bit to and and you want to know more. I can’t wait for the next book to come out.

This author is fast becoming a favorite. I don’t think there has been any book I’ve read so far that hasn’t been entertainingly good!!
Jackson had his hands full with quirky, sassy, and sarcastic Raegan. Her banter and quick witted dialogue had me smiling as this fast paced action filled story took off quickly.
Full of intrigue and suspense in the midst of action, action, action! There was a mole within their midst with betrayal and bloodshed.
A page turning treat from start to finish!!

Where do I even begin. This book had me all over the map emotionally. I think I experienced every single emotion to be had at least twice throughout my entire read. I am still dying for the next book in this since it will give me Chance’s conclusion (which I am on pins and needles to see how it plays out!).
Reagan was an AMAZING character and i related to her so well. I loved her snark and sarcasm. I also really appreciate how she was handling things. It is not your every-day kinda mentality and it is a refreshing change from how most heroines are in romance reads. She was tough and sassy without being a bitch or standoffish. It was a break from the norm and it was fresh and fun and definitely different. I enjoy that it wasn’t just a simple answer as to why she stayed with her ex. It wasn’t a cut and dry deal and that is true to real life. Nothing is ever as simple as that. It made it feel relatable even to someone that has never been in that situation.
Jackson was a great character as well. I loved his turmoil in the situation and it was an easy read to see where he was coming from in regards to his relationship with Reagan.
As always the banter and discussions between the guys were hilarious. But the drunken discussion with Lucy, Isa and Reagan was so funny I almost peed my pants!
And the twist from the very beginning twisted me up in ways only Giulia Lagomarsino can do. I was so emotionally involved I was literally talking (in some cases screaming) at my kindle!
Another masterpiece. Can’t wait for the next one!

Intense with action and emotions
Attention, spoiler of “Sniper”
Reagan is saved from her almost certain death with her ex boyfriend brigand, thanks to Jackson. Although attracted, he refuses to try to have a relation because he thinks she is still too fragile. But all this complicates a year later with the kidnapping of Morgan and Chance (Sniper). This part is extremely difficult to read because Reed Security is attacked from all sides and the heroes have no idea of the traitor or traitors? Some are in the hospital with serious injurie, moreover, Chapter 10 was very difficult to read because of the attachment I had for the characters. In short it is extremely well written and very moving.(it’s also fun between Reagan and Jackson)
I look forward to the last episode “Chance” because between the setbacks of the agency, the characters of Reagan who discovers that someone wants to kill her, the missing, the dead, this episode is very intense and makes you want to know the end.

I love reading about the men at Reed Security and the women that capture their hearts and “Jackson” was on different. He knew he had feelings for Reagan the moment they rescued her but he was afraid that she had not healed from the psychological beating she took from her ex. Will he get a chance to tell her how he feels before it is too late? The story line is amazing and the character development astounds me. I laughed and cried. The story is romantic and heroic with a slight touch of whimsy…what more could you ask for? I cannot wait for the next book in this series.

Oh sneaky, sneaky, Giulia, triyng to sneak into our souls with your books, making us die of laughter or have heart attacks, only just to bring us back to life with happy endings.I would explain but I don’t want to spoil anything – You know what I’m talking about. This book was awesome. Oh my God, the questions that Hunter asks at the wedding made me laugh till I cried. I LOVED IT!! I can’t wait the last book from the series.

3.5 stars. Jackson works for Reed Security and is called in to help rescue Raegan who has been severely beaten by her weapons dealing boyfriend. Although the boyfriend has been killed, Raegan and her parents have living in Jackson’s house. When Reed is compromised in an attack, all personnel and their families move into a secluded safe house. Three of their team are seriously injured. All these factors are putting extreme pressure on everyone. I think this second book of the trilogy is to set up for resolutions in the last book. It was action packed but not as intense as the previous books I have read in this series. Looking forward to book three when it will all come together.

This is the second book in a three book arc, so you know it’s going to be full of action, and the story isn’t going to be fully resolved. You have to read these books in order, so read Sniper before this one. I gotta say, I got so upset by some of the happenings that I put the book away for a day before I could get back to it. Raegan is in a terrible situation that affects her & her family. She is a total snarky, smart-mouthed woman who uses dark humour to cope. It took a while for me to get used to Raegan and her attitude, just like Jackson. This story is about so much more than Raegan and Jackson, though, and it has all the feels throughout. Absolutely packed with action, tension, desperation, fear, and love, this ranks as one of my favourite books in the series. The story carries on, and you can bet I’ll be at the front of the line to see how this all ends.

This is the second book in a trilogy and I was on the edge of my seat! Jackson and Raegan’s story had me laughing at parts! I love this whole series and I can’t wait to read Chance’s book!

Yet another superb book from Giulia Lagomarsino. I just love this series about Reed’ Security and all their members with families. The best series I’ve red.
Cannot wait for the next book. Highly recommend!
