Nuclear Option: An OPS Protector Romance Novel (Owens Protective Services Book 2) Kindle Edition

by Giulia Lagomarsino (Author), Reggie Deanching (Photographer) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars 1,733 ratings

The exciting and thrilling conclusion to Cash and Eva’s story, and the second book in the OPS series!

The military defines a Nuclear Option as a drastic step or last resort, and I’m about to take it.

Cash

I am an expert marksman, engaging the enemy from afar.

You’ll never see me coming because I’m that good.

Even a sniper can be drawn out of hiding.

Pull the right strings and eventually you’ll see my face.

But it’ll be the last thing you ever do.

I take warnings for what they actually are—a threat of war.

I will defend those I love and the team I surround myself with.

I will use my specialized training to take you down.

I will make you regret ever coming after me.

There is no world in which I exist that I’ll let you live.

Special Ops training gave me the tools I needed to be an effective weapon in special recon, infiltration, and target acquisition—to name a few.

I’m ruthless, fearless, and I will stop you at all costs.

Power won’t help you when you come up against me.

Intimidation is laughable.

And threatening the woman I love is the worst mistake you ever made.

    Giuliano you are reeling me in. Love these first 2 but a little bit pissed you left us hanging between 1 and 2 but forgiven. These guys are great material for future women to meet. Want Jones and Fox to find someone and New Guy interesting. Keep up the intriguing stories perhaps Rafe can be redeemed or revealed????

    4.0 out of 5 stars It's not Reed Security, but it's slowly growing on me.
    Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2023
    Verified Purchase
    The first book had WAY too many elements that were practically cut and pasted from the Reed Security series, and I was very disappointed in that. I also did NOT like reliving the trauma of Sinner's abduction and torture. (You make us love someone that much, we readers are going to take issue with your treatment of them.)

    However, I decided to try one more book before I gave up on this one (because I've walked away cold from another series of this author's). And OPS is slowly growing on me. Two books aren't enough to decide overall, but this one got four stars whereas book one got three.

    I hope the characters continue to stand more on their own and seem less like copies of Reed characters as time goes on. But if the author can't develop them further, or pulls some of the same storyline BS in this series that she's done elsewhere, then I will walk away and probably not try more of her work. Fool me once, shame on you--fool me twice, shame on me.

    I enjoyed this book more than the first for sure, and am intrigued enough I'll keep going. For now.

    This is the exciting conclusion to this couple’s story. It’s action packed, suspenseful, funny and steamy. The couple is still on the run but are now searching for Eva’s aunt’s boyfriend who may have the information they need. There are numerous explosions, a horseback ride, hiking, jumping from a waterfall and show tunes.

    4.0 out of 5 stars 3.5 only because I don’t like the FMC
    Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2023
    Verified Purchase
    Pros: 1st person, multiple points of view. Very suspenseful and I liked all of the male characters.
    Cons: I don’t like the FMC. She is constantly complaining and being stupid and reckless and does not seem as in love with the MMC as he is with her. She keeps thinking of leaving to hack it on her own. Just when you think they will have an HEA she gets unreasonably offended and picks a fight.
    The story could have used more romance and steam but it is a good setup for the series. They never exchange love vows or have an HEA epilogue. I know it is cliche but I like endings with marriage and babies etc. Their romance felt unfinished. They also never address the actual testimony or aftermath of the trial. I am looking forward to Fox and Jones’ stories.

    Great continuation of book #1. Cash and Eva's love story begins, feelings start to develop and being on the run..
    Protecting Eva from very bad powerful people becomes OPS top priority.
    The adventures suspense and the unknown along the way was amazing trying to get out of a one situation just to get into another one.
    More intro of the OPS team great getting to know and understand them. The loyalty trust is strongly felt throughout the book. Cash is crazy in a good way great leader how his team always having his back.
    Again so many funny moments I could not stop laughing something one would say or do naturally.

    Cash always putting Eva first take a bullet for her. Both falling in love.
    So detailed you can feel the characters emotions, envision the words.
    Giuliani thank you for sharing you talent. Look forward to book 3

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 26, 2022

    Like book one, this story was none stop action, danger and suspense. In fact, this book starts straight into the thick of things. So I was hanging on the edge of my seat from the get go. Not to mention, laughing out loud at some of the antics of these characters. I ended up reading this book all in one go. I was so engrossed in this story.

    Cash is a sniper, ex-military ( Special Ops)…

    Eva is warrior in her own right. She’s been through, and survived hell on earth…

    Can these two characters overcome all the obstacles thrown in their path, and find a HEA?

    Nuclear Option is the second book in this new exciting series. So I do recommend grabbing book one before you start this book. I’m really looking forward to more of this series, and checking out other books by this author.
