...And A Wake-Up: An OPS Protector Romance (Owens Protective Services Book 19) Kindle Edition
I should be on Island Time right now.
They say no man is an island.
Well, let me tell you something. I was born for island living.
I like to drink, smoke my cigars, and sleep under my favorite hat.
That’s my idea of a good time.
Island living isn’t for everyone, especially the guys at OPS.
You would think as former military that I would fit right in.
But unlike them, I don’t take great pleasure in rescuing the girl, taking out baddies, or saving the world.
That’s not what Island Time is about.
All I need is a woman in my bed and a drink in my hand.
I just didn’t realize what I was getting myself into when I brought this particular woman home.
Fista…Whista? Nah, that’s not right. I’ll remember her name one of these days.
Names aren’t really important.
But her scent…I would go to church if it meant knowing what that amazing smell was.
Granted, I’d probably turn to ash the moment I stepped through the doors, but it was a risk I was willing to take.
For her.
Just as long as I still get my Island Time.
A man doesn’t change overnight, and there’s no way I’m giving up island living for a woman. Not even if she said she doesn’t want me anymore.
How much longer can I hold out?
It’s been five days …And A Wake-Up.

- Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2024Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThis is my first time reading anything from this author so I have no idea of this is the norm or not, but this book was hysterical. It's uniquely different from most romance novels in style and tone.
Somehow, this author managed to write something that's as ridiculously funny as say the movie Naked Gun or Airplane while simultaneously bringing heat and love along for the ride.
The cast of characters are all distinctive and interesting. Funny in their own ways. The action scenes were comical and written in a way I could almost see it unfold.
The main character's were endearing and slightly disturbing. The best I can describe would be if Jack Sparrow was a pilot instead of pirate and Lemon from Hart of Dixie was the main female character. The main male character is a drunk. He literally staggers his way through most of the story. The main female character is a good girl, a minister's daughter, who dresses in church clothes and teaches the children choir.
You have to suspend all rationality, to believe these two will work out. And you have to accept the over the top characterization's for what they are, which is simply the opportunity for a lightweight, fun ride.
I loved it. I have read over 400 books in the last year and not a single one was anything like this one. When you read copious amounts of books like I do, most of them start to fade into each other due to so many similarities, both in terms of tropes and writing styles. This book stands out amongst them as completely distinct and unique. I look forward to reading more from this author.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2024Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI loved Max's story. I wasn't sure how this was going to play out, but I wasn't disappointed. There were some laugh out loud moments and OMG moments. The quirkiness of Max and Christa were adorable, fun, and a bit crazy. They were perfect together. Of course, it was great to have the OPS team make their appearance. I loved this story. ❤️📖❤️
- Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2024Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI love this series but this was a pleasant surprise. This was the book I wanted to read the least because I do not like this character. However, this has to be one of my favorite books. We find out that even a little sober Max is a bad assed operator. It is enjoyable to see him try to take in the guys and their quirks sober- think Fox, FNG, Locke Lol. That alone would make a man want to drink. Then throw in a preacher’s daughter who’s “finding herself “and this poor fellow picked a poor time to sober up. Both characters provide many laughable moments in this book. I couldn’t put it down.

- Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2024Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI totally loved this book!! I laughed so hard, many times out loud and my husband thinks that I totally lost it! But there's no way that I can try to explain what happens in this book to him... You just have to read it for yourself! It's great! Awesomely written and so entertaining that you will read it non stop!! Enjoy!!
- Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2024Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI really don't know where Guilia gets all her ideas for her stories bit I pray that she doesn't run blank any time soon I love everything about the Owens Protective Services books and always rush through them because they are a blast to read..I say it over and over again because her stories are just that good. Good get them in order now.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2024Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI have never read a book that had me sitting up because I was laughing so hard. A lot of books have made me chuckle and maybe laugh some but this book didn't stop.
The only draw back to this book was the guy was a full alcoholic and no where in the book to they address rehab and in fact she was starting to become one as well. That was a big turn off to me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseMax and Christa love story was a roller coaster.
Both unhappy with their current lives, they connected at a bar one night and had a one night stand.
From their things began to spiral. Max loved being drug was a loner and dislike OPS.
Christa worked at a church with her dad and it was no longer fullfilling.
Both getting drunk and hooking up. She reallizes she loves him but wants more. That scars him off but he can't stop thinking of her.
He starts friending OPS
Lots of humour could not stop laughing. Two lonesome and lost people falling in love unexpectedly.
You felt for them cheering them on. Cash having the same thoughts bringing them together.
This was a cute story. Enjoyed it. Look forward to Brock's love story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseHilarious and a little bit irreverent. You have to appreciate the story and all the crazy people involved including Fox and FNG. I think I'd throw Cash in there too.
Enjoy the read

5.0 out of 5 stars Max’s story was not what I expected at all.
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseMax enjoys drinking, and doesn’t care much about anything else. That is until he meets Christa. Could she be the one to finally get through to him?
This book was non-stop drama, action, surprises, and laugh out loud moments.
