Sinner is the first book in the Reed Security Series. It is preceded by the series For The Love Of A Good Woman and it is recommended that the series be read in order, as characters from the first appear in the second.Just when I think it can’t get any hotter, Giulia Lagomarsino does it again. It seems like each book is just packed with even more of a punch than the last. I’m truly amazed at her … punch than the last. I’m truly amazed at her ability to write such intense, emotional, relatable books with extremely strong, bold characters that are SO different than the last. I literally just read her newest book start to finish in one sitting, in 7 hours, with no regrets. I’ve always been a sucker for romance novels, but the level of human emotion and intimacy that Giulia is able to bring to life is just sucker-punchingly, edge-of-your-seat, feeling-all-the-feels, good. I cannot wait until her next book. Until then, I’ll be in a book coma from the Sintastic story I just finished. -Crystal Rice
“I could maybe get some information out of him. Maybe I could-”
“No, Freckles. You’re not a field agent,” Sebastian said sharply.
“But I’m a woman. I could talk with-”
“No.”
“Sinner, tell him I can handle it.”
Sebastian turned a glare on me.
“I could take her with me,” I shrugged.
“What part of my glare did you not understand?” Sebastian asked me.
“Hey, she’s good backup.”
“Then maybe I’ll let her be your backup while you’re on desk duty.”
“Shit, Cap. You don’t have to be so mean.”
Cara
I’ve been broken for six years. I only started leaving my house three years ago, but I waited too long and now I’m so screwed up that I can barely stand to be around other people without freaking out. When a handsome, strong man with gorgeous eyes comes to my rescue twice, my therapist suggests he become a therapy buddy of sorts to help me. His jovial personality sets me at ease and he really does start to help me heal, but my untrustworthy nature takes over and could ruin the best thing that has ever happened to me.
Sinner
Everyone calls me Sinner because of my reputation with the ladies. I was in Special Forces until a few years ago and now I work for Reed Security. I love my job, but it’s hard on relationships, which is why I don’t try. Until her. Everyone sees her as damaged, but I see her spirit, her fight. I can’t seem to get enough of her, but when my relationship with her threatens my job, I’m forced to choose which I want more. I just hope I chose right.

I received an arc, and am voluntarily leaving this review. I loved this book. This is a great series. This one was well written and the characters were hot and steamy together. I couldn’t stop reading it. I can’t wait for more of this series to come out. If you want something to read that will keep you entertained, then this book is the one you want. I very highly recommend this one.
I liked this storyline and Cara and Sinner both have issues that they need to come to terms with to be able to trust and be there for each other long term. They really belong together.
Cara is the sister of one of Sinners friends and also a very broken woman after surviving being kidnapped by a serial killer, Sinner is a total ‘tart’ and has never had a proper relationship with a woman, he’s a one night type of guy. They meet up when Cara is suffering from a panic attack after trying to get through her ordeal and lights sparks, but can anything serious happen between them. Can Sinner really be falling for the love of a good woman…. Another fantastic read to this excellent series. As with all Giulia’s books they will make you laugh / cry and keep you totally enthralled page after page..
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 not a secret that I love to read. The more books I have, the more I want to read but time has been my enemy this couple is days but now I’m back on track.
I was so mad when I started to read this new book. Mad because this author had put me on edge with her last book. But don’t think that this is a negative thing… It’s not. She has a gift and her words can make you laugh and cry at the same time. You must be prepared… Oh boy.
Guilia Lagomarsino is amazing and her books shows just how much. Her writing can evolve you in a blanket of darkness but also one of light. Just get ready… I mean it…
But before I tell you a bit more about this new series, I need to give you a heads up. Read For The Love Of a Good Woman series first… Because this new series if focused on the secondary characters from that series…
Sinner is the first book from the Reed Security series and tells the stories of Sinner and Cara.
Sinner worked at Reed Security. After leaving the military he’s doing the job he likes and being surrounded by friends is the best way.
When he helped a lady from hurting herself he couldn’t imagine the turn his life would about to get…
Cara had a beautiful life until she suffered and survived a terrible tragedy. After that day she just lost herself. She’s always afraid of being taken away again and she doesn’t trust easily. But sometimes life has other ideas for us so we must fight to be ourselves again.
And when she tried to do just that…
Let me just say that I’m overwhelmed. This story was way more intense that I was thinking…
The plot is amazing, well written, super engaging, intense and dark. But the darkness can be fought when you have the right person by your side though achieve the light. Don’t give up… Fight and be free.
Each scene made me think things in a different way, because each base scene was followed by the desire to be different and to fight.
I fell for this characters in a way that I can’t describe. They were damaged but sometimes life has other ideas for you. Don’t give up…
This story gave us hope, light, love but also madness, despair and darkness.
Giulia… This series started perfectly and I can’t wait to start the next one.
A great storyline! Hard to put down! Intense and Emotional! Hot Chemistry! I truly enjoyed this read! Get it and Read it!

This is book one of the Reed Security series. Cara was first introduced in the For the Love of a Good Woman series. I was happy to see her get her own story. Six years prior she was abducted and terrorized by a serial killer. It left her traumatized to the point she rarely goes out in public, doesn’t deal well with poeple, and suffers panic attacks. Her therapist has her go alone to a restaurant to fight her fears. There she has a panic attack and ends up blaming out being caught by a stranger. Sinner is in the restaurant when Cara has her panic attack. He catches her as she faints. This is their wonderfully written action packed story. Can’t wait to continue reading this series!!!!

Giulia Lagomarsino has brought her cast of characters from “For The Love Of A Good Woman” into her “Reed Security” with a few new additions, so we are already familiar with the setting and vibe of the types of friendship and environment they’re coming from. Her unique ability to write a storyline encompassing relatable characters taking the twists and turns of a plot she has strategically folded throughout will pull you in. There’s no way to read this without some kind of emotional response.
Hot, sexy and packed with with the unexpected…
I loved reading this book collection, it’s good, hot, sexy and a very good read. I curled up with my hot tea, a warm blanket and couldn’t put it down. It leaves me wanting to read more about the characters in books that characters come from and I plan to as I love a good book. Was a wonderful read throughout. The characters pull you in and make you want to read more. Keep it coming…

I received a copy of this book from the author in return for an honest review.
3.5 stars
I really enjoyed this book. Cara is a woman who is scarred by horrific tragic events from her past. She is determined to not let this break her and she enlists the help of Sinner to help her heal. Sinner is a really good guy(a ride or die you might say) and agrees to helping Cara. Sometimes though even the best men can be a little slow on the realization that the love of a good woman can help them heal their own wounds as well.
She has something happen to her and it is almost like she is just existing instead of living. She gets talked into going out to dinner by her therapist and meets sinner there when a series of panic attacks for various reasons. He decides to be her friend and it goes deeper with them but they both have so much to overcome. It has a lot of drama, suspense, pain, high emotional situations and so much more. A very intense real to life story that is a must read. I received a review copy from booksprout and voluntarily review it.
I thoroughly enjoyed this security series installment. Sinner surprised me with his sensitivity and sense of chivalry towards Cara and her battle with anxiety. The author has an incredible understanding of anxiety and how it attacks the mind and body. I loved how he helps her make some strides in her battle and ends up falling in love with Cara. There are some smoking hot sex scenes and the chemistry between them is electric. But love is not always roses and sunshine so there are some significant ups and downs as they fight for what they want. After reading this book I want to go find out what happens to his security team and their search for true love.
Excellent and unpredictable
I really liked this romance, which seems to start essentially with the healing of the heroine’s phobias thanks to a man who does not seem to correspond to what she needs at first, and then, everything changes dramatically towards the middle of the story.
There is at once a lot of action, unpredictable reversals, passion with hot scenes, conflicts, very good dialogues and characters : it is an excellent story, very well written, with once again a end that I had not seen coming in the evolution of the characters.
Cara has panic attacks because she does not recover from the attack of a serial killer 6 years ago and she can not live with others even for simple actions like being in an elevator. In one of these crises, she meets Sinner, a security specialist at REED Security. A few minutes later, she sprinkles him with a tear bomb and finds herself helping him because he has an allergy. After this strange meeting, Sinner offers to help her overcome her phobias and she in exchange wants to be able to have relations with a man again. However, people’s view of Cara’s difficulties and Sinner’s bad reputation as a womanizer makes it difficult for them in their lives, their jobs, their safety and the affection they have for each other. Whether physically or psychologically injured, rebuilding and healing is extremely difficult for them.
The author has a very good style, and despite some moments a bit hard to read, I never felt uncomfortable.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book
No doubt, the best in the serie so far!
Sinner is awsome guy, with plenty of defaults, but always caring. He might not always be in the right mind, but he is not afraid.
A hero that is human.
I cried a lot, but it was also fun… and hot!
I just loved it!!
Exciting and romantic suspense. Sinner goes through so much in this book. You cannot help but love him and Cara! Excellent!!
