Rampage is not in the market for a forever relationship, but when the woman walks into the shelter where he’s guarding Kinslee, Cuff’s woman, while she is learning how to manage the shelters, he can’t seem to shake the instant attraction and need to protect her. When he returns to Texas with Kinslee and the others, he’s still thinking about Ember, but her betrayal is causing him to fight with himself. When she reappears and finds them in Texas everything will come to light.
Ember has had a rough life and she’s been manipulated to do things that she doesn’t want to do, among other things. When she finally gets her freedom and finds a place to land on her feet and safety, she finds out that her childhood could have been so much different if it weren’t for manipulative men, lying women, and tragic events.
The men of the Ares Infidel’s MC are determined to take down the human trafficking ring that has been running through their town and after they get some names and locations of rings, they work with the Time Served MC and some other allies to stop the rings and rid the towns of the darkness. This brings Ember back into Rampage’s life and turns it upside down again.
I love this series and the characters. The women appear to be weak and downtrodden, but in reality, they are strong survivors of tragic events and just need the right man to show them that strength and acceptance of who they are. I love the Coven and all their craziness. I give this book a 5-star review and can’t wait for the next book in the Tenillo Guardians.
Wow, this book was everything I was hoping for in Finn’s story. I love the Muffin Man in the other books, but his story really showed who he is and that he should not be dismissed as some guy that was living on the streets.
Finn was a Ranger in the army. He lost everything that ever mattered to him on his last deployment and when he returned home, he used everything he had to find it, but had no luck. Drained of everything he had, he’s living on the streets of NYC until a woman shows up and offers him muffins. This chance meeting is what Finn needed to start living his life again, so he moved to the small town outside of Chicago that the Cortell Brothers and the crazy towns folk live. Five years after his devastating loss, he gets the shock of his life on a dark, snowy road one night, and his true adventure takes off.
This story was one of my favorites. It’s not as funny or light as the others, but it was such a great read. I loved the real Finn showing himself and the way that Antonio, Jack, and Carter all came together to help Finn. It was full of action, danger, haunts, and as always, great characters. I didn’t want to like Addie at first, but she grew on me. I love these stories and while I have loved all of the books, I’ve read of Giulia Lagomarsino’s I think this book in the A Good Run of Bad Luck might be my favorite so far. The banter is always fun in her books, but the danger and intrigue keep getting better. I give this book a 5-star review and if I could do it, I would definitely give more. I do love the Muffin Man.
My wife and child were gone in the blink of an eye, and I wasn’t there for it. I gave up all I owned, sold everything I had just to find them, but after two years I had no more resources. I finally admitted they were never coming home. I hit rock bottom, living on the streets until a kind woman with a basket of muffins changed my life. I had to decide, would I choose life or death? I chose life and turned mine around. Five years later, I was finally learning to live again. But when a massive snowstorm hit, I got the shock of my life.
Bad Beat is book 7 in the series A Good Run Of Bad Luck and should be read in order. This book also precedes Parker and GoodKnight from The Reed Security series.
I’m a stay at home mom that loves to read. Some of my favorite titles are Pride and Prejudice, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Horatio Hornblower. I started writing when I was trying to come up with suggestions on ways I could help bring in some extra money. I came up with the idea that I could donate plasma because you could earn an extra $500/month. My husband responded with, “No. Find something else. Write a blog. Write a book.” I didn’t think I had anything to share on blog that a thousand other mothers hadn’t already thought of. I decided to take his challenge seriously and sat down to write my first book, Jack. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed writing. From there, the stories continued to flow and I haven’t been able to stop. I hope my readers enjoy my books as much as I enjoy writing them. Between reading, writing, and taking care of three small kids, my days are quite full.
I read lots of books, from mythology retellings to literary fiction and I love to reread books from childhood, this is a place to voice my thoughts for fun. I also like to ramble about things such as art or nature every now and again.
