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.

I honestly don’t think I can decide who my favorite is in this group of men & women. I think they all are in their own way. This book had me on an emotional roller coaster with the devastation they went through. I can’t give anything away so all I’m going to say is that you really need to read this book!
This book has it all romance, action, suspense and it’s also funny. The characters and story are interesting and well done. This is part of a series and all the books are really good. I really enjoyed it.
I am so into this series (even though I haven’t read all of the books). Giulia Lagomarsino swept in from seemingly nowhere and blindsided me with the way she mixes romance and danger and mystery and family all into one big disaster that has to be sorted out. And Jackson is no exception. Things started with a bang that had my heart aching. And in the next moment I had the giggles…
Raegan was a firecracker. There is no other way to describe her. Her situation was way less than ideal but it was what brought her and Jackson together. And poor straight laced, serious Jackson, didn’t know what to make of her. She hid her pain behind sarcasm and sass and hated to be seen as weak. Because she wasn’t. To live through what she had and survive, necessitated it.
The build between Jackson and Raegan was a super slow burn. It was only when danger landed on the door step of Reed Security did either of them admit out loud what they were feeling for the other.
Talk about a whirlwind. But some things seemed scattered. And a lot of the back and forth between Raegan and Jackson was the same over and over. There were big gaps of time missing in the timeline and some events coming up in the story when they did, didn’t make sense at the time. But that ending…the way it all started to come together, was intense and me hanging on every word. I am beyond ready for the final part of this arc.
I’m not ashamed to admit that one of the reasons I read this book ia because I cannot wait to see what happens to Chance and Morgan and her daughter Payton. But, this was an overall great read. Jackson and Raegan are a typical Reed Security couple, fumbling into a relationship both want, sarcastic, funny, and have unreal chemistry. We are kept on the edge of our seats by the upheaval within Reed Security. I laughed, I cried, but didn’t put this book down till it was completed. This is one of the best series I’ve read and I can’t believe it’s on book 15 I am waiting, not very patiently for Chance.
Jackson saved Reagan after she’d been beaten by her boyfriend and had her staying with him for protection, they weren’t sure what she knew or if she was safe.
Jackson is continually listening to the boys thinking there is more with Reagan, while all he is doing is protecting her, although Reagan with her sarcasm doesn’t help convince them.
Reagan doesn’t understand Jackson’s reasons for saying she needs more time, after telling her that they can’t do movies or snuggling again, because she’s not ready.
Jackson continues to deny what he could have with Reagan, while getting some not so helpful advice from his teammates, that doesn’t always make sense.
The unexpected happens with everyone in danger, but will it be enough for Jackson to act on his feelings for Reagan, or will he still keep saying she needs time.
This book is well written, has a good storyline and great characters.
An enjoyable read.

This is the second book in it’s own trilogy within the Reed Securiry series. First off, I think this was a great idea for the series and so Giulia to keep us on our toes. I have read each and every book in this series and I cannot recommend it enough. The cover for this book is perfect, I my opinion. Now for the story of the book. There is no ending as the Reed Security still have some answers to find, bad guys to kill and we need to see Chance find his HEA. But we do see some answers and progress in that direction being made. Of course, our boy Jackson finds Raegan and this is their rough road at finding HEA. This book has alot and will pull you through the ringer with the characters but it has great hilarious moments as well that break up the tougher topics perfectly. The witty banter and topics that the guys find themselves discussing, there is always a laughing out loud moment. The drunken discussion amongst some of the women……oh my goodness so funny! This story was an amazing read, if you have not read this series, at the very least start with Sniper. As always it is a absolute pleasure to read this author.

Second book in the three book inner series and I was just as drawn in as i was by book 1 sniper While the other books in the Reed security series are better read in order but don’t actually have to be these three have to be Sniper was the first and Jackson is the second. Jackson saved Reagan and is now protecting her family he believes that Reagan hasn’t moved on and that she will need protecting from her past but she knows that she is stronger than that Now she and the men and Woman of Reed Security have realised that she is deeply entwined in the troubles they are facing and she must face he past if she is to help them overcome their enemies. Be prepared for an emotional roller coaster as you read this one Now desperately hanging out for the third book in this series
Amazingly brilliant.
I was on the edge of my seat reading this book. I couldn’t stop reading. There was so much in this to love, romance, drama, action and more. Another brilliant edition to the series that has me absolutely dying to read the next book.
As the title states, this is book two of a three book arc with Jackson and Raegan but it affects more than just them when it brings all of Reed Security into it. Of course we have the sense of humor Giulia Lagomarsino has become known for in her books and strong sexy characters that keep the steam rolling. This book had me on an emotional rollercoaster throughout the story so you know I’ll be glad to see what happens in part three. Do yourself a favor. Start with Sniper and then this one. You won’t want to miss any of the Reed Security books, but these are extraordinary.

Holy cow! So much damage to people and property from the attack on the compound. Mostly, everyone is okay. But OMG – Ice, Gabe, Hunter!! Chance, Craig and Morgan are missing. And the compound is toast. Literally. It burned down.
Jackson and Raegan finally get together, and it’s a sweet, sometimes funny, somewhat frustrating ride for them. The banter between all the characters is just what you’d expect based on the previous books in the series. And again with the wax!
The phone call right at the end leaves the book on a huge cliffhanger, but we knew this going in. I can’t wait for the next book.

This is the 14th book in the Reed Security Series and the 2nd book of a 3 book arc, and is mainly Raegan and Jackson’s story.It does leave of with a lead in to the next story. There is suspense, drama, danger, twists, turns, people in hiding, villains, and romance. We also catch up with some of the other people from the other stories. I want to read the next book.

I absolutely loved this book and was honored to have been able to read and review. It was such a phenomenal read and had amazing characters as well as an amazing story line. I just could not get enough of it and once I started reading it I could not put it down. I recommend that you read it.

I have to say that I have loved all the books by this author, and while there were many aspects of this book that I did enjoy, there were also a few I didn’t. The heroine in this book irked me with he her constant joking or making light of intense situations, now to be fair people that do this in real life often don’t last long with me. I did however enjoy the progression with the rest of the story line from the previous book( this is the second book of a three book arc).

Once again Giulia nails it with the second book in this 3 book arc. Jackson and Reagan were circling each other from day one. The banter between them was laugh out loud funny with obvious heat.I enjoyed every bit of their story and how all the team were together through this one. Lets not forget the emotions man oh man….this one was probably the hardest for me to read…. the intensity and suspense on every page had me on the edge of my seat waiting to see what would be written on the next page. This book did not disappoint now it did crush me emotionally and then proceeded to redeem itself over and over again. Very well written the usual laughs crying, heat and suspense all wrapped up in one book… definitely need the final part of this 3 book arc to hurry up and give me the conclusion as this one left us wondering…

Book 2 of a 3 book arc, this story flows best if read with the others, but enough background is present from book 1 to follow the action without it.
Reed Security is not just a team of special operators post active duty, they are family- women and children included.
Jackson falls for his Reagan when his team comes to rescue her from an abusive gun runner who has delusions of grandeur. Both she and her parents move into his house after the rescue operation. Danger is suspected for her since she recognizes some faces and places from dealings with her dead ex.
Betrayal has come from someone external as well as someone within – but clearly more than a work of a single day.
With team members missing, some critically injured, and personal and team family dynamics strained, the road ahead looks twisted and rough.
The action is steamy and bloody on all fronts.
On the edge of my seat to see what happens next!
Hotter than hot KU read!
Jackson is the middle book of a three book ARC from Giulia Lagomarsino. I love her Reed Security series and Jackson is an exciting addition. Reagan was introduced a couple of books ago, and I was thrilled to learn more of her and Jackson’s story. Be aware that this a different perspective/POV and continuing the story that started in Sniper and will Chance. This is one of the types of series that you really, REALLY should read from book 1.

*SPOILERS* Jackson is the 2nd book in a 3 part series so that being said it’s left in a cliffhanger. Don’t worry though Guilia never fails to keep you entertained and satisfied. Do you really know what’s best for the a woman you love? Jackson takes his time to figure out if he knows what is best for his new house guest Raegan…oh and her parents! Jackson is full of action, love and hard choices and you keep wanting to come back for more. Do read these books in order as it helps with understanding the characters!
