Bad Beat: A Small Town Romance (A Good Run Of Bad Luck Book 8) Kindle Edition

4.6 out of 5 stars 853 ratings

Bad Beat is book 8 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.

My wife and child were gone in the blink of an eye, and I wasn't there for it.

I was serving my country, doing what I thought was right.

And when I found out they were gone, it destroyed me.

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 back to me.

I hit rock bottom and lived 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.

My family wasn’t dead.

They were very much alive, but they wouldn’t be for long if I didn’t figure out who was behind their disappearance in the first place.

I lost my family once. I wasn’t going to lose them again.

    This is an exciting Book. Lots of action, romance, great characters! Finn has believed his wife and son have been dead for several years. After searching for them until he ran out of money and lost his home, he went into deep depression and became homeless in New York. He is found by Abby - read Ace Magnets book 4 in the series for more details. Actually read the whole series! Now he's a deputy and has life is basically going good. Then Addie and Pax come back into has life. They've been running for their lives for the last 5 years. Read it to find out the why and how. It's a great story like all the other books Guila has written

    4 Stars from Renee!

    The story has laughs, pain, secrets, second chances, and heartbreak.

    If you have not read the below, I would recommend reading those books(s) first:
    Maintenance Required (The Cortell Brothers #1)
    Collateral Damage (The Cortell Brothers #2)
    Wanted Dead Or In Love (The Cortell Brothers #3)
    Textbook Approach (The Cortell Brothers #4)
    Priceless Ink (The Cortell Brothers #5)
    Tangled Web (The Cortell Brothers, #6)
    Dead Man's Hand (A Good Run of Bad Luck #1)
    Drawing Dead (A Good Run of Bad Luck #1.5)
    The Dirty (A Good Run of Bad Luck #2)
    Ace Magnets (A Good Run of Bad Luck #3)
    Four Horsemen (A Good Run of Bad Luck #4)
    The Nut Low (A Good Run of Bad Luck #5)
    Big Slick (A Good Run of Bad Luck #6)

    Before reading this book, you should read the others in the series. This is Addie and Finn’s story. Finn lost everything and is totally broken. Someone helped him and he is slowing coming back to life that is until he sees something he never thought he would see again. This book is super-fast paced and will have you turning the pages until the last one. Lots of secrets uncovered. Tons of emotions and lots of banter with our favorite characters from other books.

    I recommend this book.

    Finn and Addie's love story was truly an adventure.
    Addie continously on the run. Encounturing Finn who thought his family died. Their love gave them hope.
    New adventures begins.
    Still alots of humor throughout the story. Could not stop laughing.
    OMG do I love Antonio he is such an asset to this series. He is scary but caring to the right people. Lets not to forget Carter and Jack and of course our awesome hacker Andrew. All the secondary characters add such depth to the story.
    All these strong emotions love hate trust pain etc were felt.
    Love this town all the adventures it encounters.
    Once again Giulia brought it all together including Jo and Mason good thinking Antonio. Look forward to the next adventure.

    Having already read the Parker and Good Knight story, I am aware of the outcome. I actually enjoy reading some sagas, series this way. When I reached the part where the director was involved and the folder being left for Blake I realised the link. I love how these stories to back and forward I time. This writer is just brilliant in linking each 9th books to the. Odds g story and ensuring the info and storylines match.
    I absolutely love her style of writing. The way she has linked so many different stories together, I will forever be dedicated to her books. I'm wrapped in 💝 with your books.

    Not quite what I was expecting, good plot with lots of Twists . Some predictability, but this didn't detract from the story . A little area of steaminess .
