Title: Bad Beat

Series: A Good Run of Bad Luck Series #7
Author: Giulia Lagomarsino
Genre: Small Town Romance
Release Date: March 3, 2022

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.


MY REVIEW: Outstanding! One of my favorites of this series. Muffin Man aka Finnโ€™s backstory is heartbreaking and when it catches up to his present itโ€™s full of mystery, intrigue and danger as a couple of ghosts from his past appear. I love that Muffin Man goes from homeless to hunky to deputy sheriff over the course of this series and now heโ€™s in fighter mode. His military training in needed when the bad guys show up in town. Of course, Antonio is at his best killing, maiming and torturing. Sweet! Jack and Corduroy are in the mix too when all the guys and one fierce gal protect Finnโ€™s wife and son against an unknown enemy. Mason and Jo are a secondary story with the two coming to a realization when in hiding. Could love win out? The story is full of mystery, Intrigue, danger and drama along with the usual hilarious, crazy antics and banter with this bunch. The fast paced action is thrilling and the romance heartbreaking as Finn and Addie reconnect after years apart. Finnโ€™s son Pax is a terrific character and mature beyond his years. Love him. Itโ€™s a race to the end with a heart stopping last chapter that has out crew triumphant. I canโ€™t wait for more from these crazy town folks, heroes and heroines. Absolutely fantastic!

I love books! I have been reading for as long as I can remember. I was the kid with the flashlight under the covers reading until the wee hours. Books were my refuge. I was delighted to discover tree climbing. I would take a book and climb to the top of a Mimosa tree and read for hours...and of course ignore my mother calling for me to do chores. I was committed to reading all of the Nancy Drew stories. Ned was my first book boyfriend. When I was in my early teens I discovered Harlequin romances. I feel in love and it changed my life. I was in love with Love ๐Ÿ’• Thatโ€™s something for a girl who hadnโ€™t been kissed yet. When I read โ€œhe thrust his throbbing member into her womanhoodโ€ I was lost to discovering more about this particular brand of romance. But I donโ€™t just enjoy romance reads. My father-in-law introduced me to the high fantasy genre and I loved it. When I bought my first Nook the world of books really took me by surprise. I was enthralled with all the available genres and to my delight I discovered erotica. In most cases, I was with family on visits to bookstores and you donโ€™t peruse those even if they carried them. Oh the shame of it! ;) Thanks to Nancy Drew I still enjoy mysteries along with romance, fantasy, erotica, paranormal, steampunk, thrillers, and well, most anything except a horror of a horror. My favorite might be romance suspense but itโ€™s hard for me to pick just one. I had a serious health issue a few years ago and was forced to quite working after building a career I could be proud of. It was devastating and depressing. I lost myself in books and now spend my days (and nights) reading. I am so appreciative of authors and the wonderful storytelling Iโ€™ve found in books. It takes me away from my troubles and introduces me into a world like no other. I love books!
