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 1,796 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.

    Of you've ever seen the movie, Knight and Day, with Tom Cruise and Cameran Diaz... this and the previous book are basically that. In the first book, I was confused about a lot in the first chapters. Then it evened out and connected. The banter, action, and love-tension...I didn't know it was a TBC ending into this installment. Holy 🤣. The pacing, the character development, the bloody HUMOR/banter was perfect to balance the action and tension. I was NOT expecting that in these reads. Im def gonna have to go back and read more of her work.

    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????

    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

    I love the way this author manages to combine all my favourite genres into one great series of stories.
    Why have just action, when you can have military alphas,romance, humour & intrigue.
    Highly recommended if you enjoy page turning excitement.
    Great 2 book set introduction to a new security team. And you get to revisit Reed Security too ❤️

    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.

    Great read and very amusing characters, the only down fall hence why only 4 stars was the female lead,I found her irritating with how scared and pretty selfish she was most of the time, If it wasn't for the other characters I wouldn't of carried on reading, but I will carry on the series as I cant wait for fox's and the other guys story's!
