Release Tour Tour for The Gutshot by Giulia Lagomarsino

Title: The Gutshot

Series: A Good Run of Bad Luck #9

Author: Giulia Lagomarsino

Genre: Small Town Romance

Release Date: May 2, 2022

It was just another day in the life of being a small town cop.

I’m a protector at heart, and always have been.

Which is why I stepped up immediately after finding out I had a kid.

Well…to be honest, I didn’t believe it at first.

I actually thought it was a prank when the little girl was brought into the station.

It took a paternity test for me to really feel the gravity of the situation.

Fine, I didn’t handle it well at all.

But when I had proof Emily was really mine, nothing would stand in the way of me protecting her.

I may have gone a little overboard.

At least, that’s what my sexy neighbor thinks.

But what does she know? She let my kid drink out of a garden hose!

Sure, I did it as a kid, but I’m bald now. What if drinking out of a hose at such a young age ruined my chances of having a decent head of hair?

Am I really supposed to allow my child to be put in danger like that?

But the more I hang around with Katka, the harder I find it to ignore the logic in what she’s saying.

Maybe it’s the late night dancing she performs for me.

Or her crazy family that thinks I’m not good enough.

Whatever it is about her, it drives me to the edge.

All I think about is her.

All I want is her.

But she doesn’t want a kid.

Despite the passion building between us, I’m not the man she’s looking for.

I’ll just have to find a way to prove I’m exactly what she needs.

We really loved Lucas's and Katka story, and we are sorry to see the series ending but, these amazing characters will never be forgotten as this was one of our favorite series for 2022 we never laughed so hard through an entire series.

We already loved Lucas with his wicked sense of humor his teasing ways, the way he supported Penny when she needed him, overall he was just a fun guy his only fault he was a major playboy hit it and miss it type but, boy has he met his match now with the fairer sex

Katka is not an easy mark for Lucas, and we assume she is not his normal type but, he is highly attracted to the spirited female. We loved her she was a lot of fun, easy going for the most part, loves her family, fiercely independent, had a wicked sense of humor, and we love loved her blushes as well as her generous heart.

Loved the competition between Jake and Lucas, those moments had us laughing so hard and were priceless. This story might kind of feel like an enemies to lovers kind of read but, in reality, these two were just fighting fate. Katka was capable of more than she thought she was, in the sense of what she was willing to give to experience the love and happiness she rightly deserved. Lucas surprised us on how he really stepped up to the plate, honestly we didn't think he had it in him, loved that he proved us wrong on so many levels.

Lucas and Katka chemistry was off the charts, they sizzled together in and out of the bedroom. Tons of hot and sexy scenes, and they were perfect for one another, and we loved the fact that Katka wasn't all girly girl or even tomboy, she was right in the middle somewhere just perfect for her personality.

Overall, this story was down right hilarious and had so many precious moments surrounding Lucas's daughter Emily. Loved the fact that the town had Lucas's back when he was in need, and that we got a chance to see our favorite characters one last time.

 

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.

It was just another day in the life of being a small town cop.

I’m a protector at heart, and always have been.

Which is why I stepped up immediately after finding out I had a kid.

Well…to be honest, I didn’t believe it at first.

I actually thought it was a prank when the little girl was brought into the station.

It took a paternity test for me to really feel the gravity of the situation.

But the more I hang around with Katka, the harder I find it to ignore the logic in what she’s saying.

But she doesn’t want a kid.

Despite the passion building between us, I’m not the man she’s looking for.

I’ll just have to find a way to prove I’m exactly what she needs.

“What is going on here?” I turned, still laughing to see Lucas storm toward me, a look of anger on his face.

“Your daughter was watering my flower beds, but the little devil turned on me and started hosing me down.”

“My daughter is not the devil,” he retorted.

I rolled my eyes at him. “You know what I mean. Would you relax? She’s having fun.”

“What did you do to get her over here? She was supposed to be playing in my yard.”

“I didn’t do anything. I was laying outside to tan when she came over and asked about my flower bed.”

“Right, she just—wait, did you say she asked you about your flowers?”

“Yeah,” I said slowly, unsure as to why this was a problem.

“She spoke to you?”

“Well, if you want to call it that. But yeah, there was an attempt at speaking.”

He frowned slightly, staring down at his daughter. “She hasn’t spoken to me once.”

Ouch. I didn’t want the guy to feel worse. “Well, it was more of pointing. She really only tried to say flower.”

“Still…I haven’t gotten even that.”

The poor bearded beauty in front of me looked so down in the dumps that I just couldn’t stand it. “Well, maybe that’s because you’re not having any fun.” I strolled over to Emily and bent down in front of her. “I think we should spray down Daddy,” I whispered.

She giggled, nodding vigorously as I grabbed the hose with her and we turned the spray on Lucas. He held out his hands as the water sprayed his chest, soaking his white t-shirt. He looked shocked, but then grabbed the hose out of my hands and turned it on me, getting me completely wet. I squealed and ran away from him, laughing when his daughter started chasing me around the yard.

Of course, I played along and let her catch me. I even pretended to fall to the ground and let her tickle me. I pretended like her little fingers digging into my arm was the funniest thing in the world, and the whole time, Lucas looked at me like I was strange.

“No more! No more! I can’t take it!”

Finally, Emily let up, still laughing at me as I laid on the ground and looked up at the sky. I was tired and out of breath now, so I stood and snatched the hose out of Lucas’s hands, taking a drink of water. Emily came over, her mouth gaping.

“Do you want some?”

I held the hose out to her, but Lucas quickly intervened. “Whoa! We are not drinking out of a hose.”

“Why not?” I asked, not understanding what the problem was.”

“Because it’s dangerous. You don’t know what bugs and chemicals and…and…other things could be sitting in there. Think of all the bacteria.”

I crossed my arms over my chest and glared at him. “Did you drink out of a hose as a kid?”

“Well…yeah.”

I gave him a shocked look. “And you’re still alive? Oh my gosh! I can’t believe it!”
