Pop Smoke: An OPS Protector Romance Novel (Owens Protective Services Book 4) Kindle Edition

by Giulia Lagomarsino (Author), Reggie Deanching (Photographer) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars 1,301 ratings

Pop Smoke is book 4 in the OPS Protector Romance series and should be read in order.

I am the shadow that moves in the night, the one that has you constantly looking over your shoulder.

I work within the bounds of the law when it suits me, but make one wrong move and I’ll throw the rule book out the window to end you.

My job requires a certain level of deception, an ability to put aside feelings and relationships to get the job done.

I can honestly say there’s not a single person alive I wouldn’t betray for the right reasons.

It’s who I am and I can’t change.

I won’t.

But there’s one woman that threatens to break me.

I knew it the moment I met her four years ago. So young and naive, it’s easy to see how a woman like her could fall for a man like me.

She doesn’t see through the lies and manipulations.

She thinks she knows the man I am, but she only sees what I allow.

I’ve done everything in my power to keep her safe from me, but now I have to do something that could nearly gut me.

I have to betray her.

I know she’ll never forgive me, but this isn’t just about the job.

Someone’s life is at stake, and unfortunately for her, his life is one I can’t allow to slip away.

She’ll never forgive me—that’s if she lives.

And I’ll never forgive myself.

But these defining moments in life are what make us who we are.

I know I’ll always be the man that will get the job done.

No matter the cost.

    This is a great book. I’m not fond of Rafe but he is who he is and makes no apology for it. He’s watched Libby for 4 years and used her as an asset. He didn’t know she’s been hiding secrets from him. Big secrets. These two totally deserve each other. I’ve got to mention the mind f between Cash and Eva had me putting the book down and waking up later realizing what was going on. I won’t ruin it for you but well played Ms Lagomarsino.

    Rave/Guy Owens is Cash’s brother.
    Liberty is the daughter of a criminal daughter and works in DHS.

    Rafe is strictly an alpha protective male , former military and ( hiding his feelings).
    Liberty is a smart, sexy, feisty female that won’t take no guff from anyone.

    It started out as both using each other and than eventually became more after denying of the attraction to each other.

    Can they get the mission done and have a Happily Ever After or be at odds.

    This book has, edge of your seat suspense, intrigue, action, lots ofvemotions and great developed characters.
    There are lots of surprises and laid groundwork for the overall plot.

    Great Job Giulia Lagomarsino !!!

    This story was quite the ride! It was fast paced full of suspense, twists and turns. There were revelations that caught me by surprise. The dialogue is sharp and laugh out loud witty. Liberty was a serious bad ass. Guy and Liberty’s story was raw and unapologetic. What I really liked about their relationship how true they stayed to who they were individually and how their relationship worked. Loved this story! 💗📖💗

    Okay so I didn’t see this one coming. I was pissed through the majority of the book, but it ended so good that I actually think this is my new favorite by this author. I won’t give away any spoilers, but this book is phenomenal. Funny full of action and a great although not conventional romance. Definitely worth reading!

    Wow Rafe/Guy and Libby's love story was extreme.
    Finding out who Rafe is to Owen was a big surprise shock!

    Both have been in the game for years trying to catch her crminal father. With the OPS gang's assistance. The adventures, suspense all this action kept you reading. Never a dull moment. Again the OPS the strong bond trust and loyalty unbreakable. Many funny moments you could not stop laughing. Along with sadness that touched your heart. Guy and Libbly did bot trust each other till thet realized they fell in love!!
    All the secondary characters played big roles through out. Story felt so real. Family love.
    So detailed you can envision the words. Giulia you brought it all together nicely. Love this series look forward to Fox and the team!!

    The motto from this book is definitely " do not become a secret agent", double cross is the name of the game.
    I did work out what was coming, up to a point 😂, but did doubt my conclusions for a long time.
    Fox gets a chance to play 😲, & sing 😄
    Is FNG like Iron Man ?
    More questions than answers & the next instalment beckons ❤️
    Sooo glad I can read one a day - would have hated to wait
    Luckily, romance is still a certainty
