Sebastian is a mystery romance and the fifth book in the series, For The Love Of A Good Woman. Sebastian is a standalone, but the characters from the series appear throughout all the books.“Men. I will never understand the way your brains work.”“That’s probably a good thing, sweetheart.”“Don’t call me sweetheart. I’m not your sweetheart or any other endearment.”“Maybe I should call you … endearment.”
“Maybe I should call you Gingersnap.”
“I said not to call me anything. You can call me Maggie.”
I continued on as if she wasn’t speaking. “Of course, you don’t really have a ginger color. Maybe ‘Red’ would be better.”
“No.”
“No, you’re right. You’re not really a redhead either.”
“How about you stick with Maggie?”
“I could call you Freckles…”
“I don’t have freckles.”
“Yes, you do. Now that your makeup has worn off a little, I can see those cute freckles poking through.”
“What?” She threw down the visor and looked at herself in the mirror. “Oh my, God! Why didn’t you tell me I looked like this?” She started running her fingers through her hair and wiping the dirt from her face, which only cleaned her makeup off more, revealing that beautiful, creamy skin.
“Actually, you look about the same as you did this morning. Didn’t you take a shower last night?”
“I was busy trying not to be blown up.”
“Maybe I should call you Strawberry. You are a strawberry blonde, after all.”
“Can’t you just let this go?”
“The guys will be naming you if I don’t. Better to let me name you, otherwise you’ll end up with something like ‘Fire Crotch’. I glanced over at her and then down. “How do I know for sure that you’re really a redhead? Maybe you want to give me a sneak peek? See if the carpet matches the drapes?”
“Ugh.” She said infuriated. “You are so irritating. My name is Maggie. Not Red. Not Ginger. Not Strawberry or Fire Crotch. Maggie. Get it right or I’ll be giving you my own nickname.”
Stubborn. Bull-headed. Sexy as hell. That was Maggie. The woman that I was currently protecting. As owner of Reed Security, I didn’t really go into the field that often, but I was coerced into playing bodyguard for the trouble making reporter. She didn’t listen to a damn thing I said and was constantly putting herself in danger. This story she was investigating was going to get her killed if she didn’t learn to listen. More troubling than that was the fact that I was seriously attracted to her and was having a hard time keeping my hands off her. She was a distraction that I really needed to avoid if I wanted to keep us both alive.
Tall. Rugged. Lethal. Words that didn’t even begin to describe Sebastian, the man that was supposed to be protecting me. I found that I liked to push his buttons and get a reaction out of him. It kept things exciting. He also wasn’t bad at keeping me alive, which was a bonus when every other minute someone was trying to kill me. Now if only I could get him to stop resisting me. I seriously needed a way to let off some steam and he was the perfect distraction. Still, I had to stay focused and get to the bottom of this story before I ended up at the bottom of the river wearing a pair of cement shoes.

I liked this book, though it could have been a bit steamier. There were some really funny parts, more suspense and mystery, quite a bit of thriller as well. They investigated more than one dark and abandoned building that may or may not have contained dead bodies and men with guns out to kill.
It was a true investigative storyline with bad guys and worse guys, bodyguards, safe houses, car chases and the everything else. The heroine was a tough gal with sass and Sebastian is an alpha male former Marine badass security guy. What more could you want?
I received a free copy of this book however all thoughts and opinions are 100% my own.
I loved this! It grabbed me from the first page, kept me til the last and enthralled me in between. Well worth your time to read it.
Well, this is the fifth book of the series, “FOR THE LOVE OF A GOOD WOMAN” and if you’ve read previously from this author, Giulia Lagomarsino’s other stories/series, then you would already know that this is about Sebastian and Maggie, both very independent, stubborn, determined and hard-headed people, who you can clearly see that they are made for one another and have feelings for each other yet they try to push and fight their feelings away.
Luckily, in this story, that won’t fly anymore like it did in the previous books/series and many things will happen, both good and bad, don’t don’t worry, these two strong individuals will get their HEA <3 🙂
Edge of your seat action. Ex military hero who runs Reed securities is hired by the boss of a reporter working a dangerous story. The two are thrown together and Sebastian seems to find himself pulling Maggie out of a lot of situations. Fast paced, with plenty of sexual tension. Two strong individuals with strong personalities will have plenty of back and forth until they get their HEA.

What do we find Maggie doing at the beginning of this book? What happens? O….. M….. G….!! This book is HILARIOUS!!! I got a really great feel for Maggie’s brand of crazy reckless in this book. Holy Smokes! While things do get crazy stressful for Maggie in this book, we get a great feel for her and I understand her better now from what I have read of her in the Reed Security Series, which follows this series. I understand her Nickname better and her love of all things that go BOOM! Enjoy this read! If I could have given this book more than 5 stars, I would have!
RECEIVED THIS BOOK AS A GIFT FOR A FAIR/HONEST REVIEW and REVIEWER FOR Bloggin’ With M. Brennan.
This is the fifth book in the “Love of a Good Woman” series and they just seem to be getting better and better. In this one we meet Maggie and Sebastian. Of course Maggie is a reporter who will go to any length to get her story and out a wrong doer. That’s how she always finds herself in sticky situations. Sebastian is just trying to run is business and can’t personally protect every client but somehow Maggie pulls him into the situation. Once again, Giulia Lagomarsino has taken us on a romantic mystery with drama, angst, and adventure. I’m glad I caught up with this one. Now, I would tell everyone else DON’T MISS IT!

The storyline was well written and the characters were so well detailed that I had a very hard time putting this book down, so I ended up reading it in one sitting!
Sebastian ‘Cap’ Reed is the boss of Reed Security and a real ‘hotty’… he’s personally assigned to protect Maggie a journalist who likes to get herself into all sorts of trouble when she’s covering a story, but this time her life is a risk. Cap likes to do things by the book but Maggie likes to do things her way and this makes them clash, but along with winding each other up there is also a lot of attraction between them. Can Cap keep Maggie safe and still have a relationship as well or is Maggie just to much of a loose cannon for him… There is plenty of action in this book along with romance and plenty of laughs as you follow their story.
I am so excited to read this book. This was quite intense and page turning story engaging characters and a good storyline pulled me in fast moving enjoyable read.
It’s getting harder to refuse a book. I had tried but I couldn’t. Lol. I refuse to lose a good reading to get more hours of sleep. Call me crazy but I don’t care.
I’ve only been following this lady for a few weeks but they were enough to make me a stalker. Lol.
Giulia has a way with words that can make you addicted… Just saying. Been there and done that… Anyway you need to give her a try and start to read For The Love Of A Good Woman series. Just start it and you’ll be hooked in a sec. I’ve already read 4 books and I’m about to embark on the fifth.
Sebastian is the next book from this series and Dayum… It explores the lifes of Sebastian and Maggie.
Sebastian was a military man that served his time but after an injury he was discharged from duties. After that he created his security firm and this way he could keep protecting people. When he accepted the mission to protect a reporter he couldn’t imagine the turn his life would get.
Maggie is a reporter that lives and breaths her career. She’s used to do things her way and doesn’t take no for an answer. When she puts her mind in one thing it might be impossible to break her will. When she start persuing a story she couldn’t even guessed…
Jesus… What was this? I’m amazed…
Great plot, well written, super engaging, intense and scary. Let not forget hot too.
The chemistry these two share is of chats but they are so stubborn… Jeez. How can two people be like this?
There were parts of the story that I laughed so hard but there were others that I was nervous and a bit scared.
Suspense was lurking in each page and the need to know more was getting higher and higher.
This book presented us with crime, punishment, drama, suspense as well as desire, love, friendship and loyalty.
Girls… We have some steamy scenes too.
Giulia… You rock. This series is getting better and better and I’m so glad to have Sean’s book waiting.

Another 5+ star rating! I love this series and the well written storylines that flow along keeping you on the edge of your seat. The characters are strong, intelligent, dominant, sexy as hell, feisty and absolutely intriguing. Sebastian and Maggie fight and disagree with one another constantly. She doesn’t stop to think about her safety and just goes with her instincts, while Sebastian is trying to protect and keep her alive. There is lots of drama, humor, angst, suspense and mystery all rolled up Into this romance. A MUST read.

Maggie is insane. She is so crazy just spending time with her will make you go crazy also or want to kill her as Cap goes through time and time when he finds himself acting as her close protection. I really enjoyed reading this beginning to their relationship. I actually read the second book in the Reed Security series before this one so reading this one second instead of first made it really interesting. It was great to learn the journey these two took to get where they ended up. They have been through a lifetime of crazy in a short amount of time. I highly recommend both the For the Love of a Good Woman and Reed Security series. They are worth your time and money.
