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 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.

Cat gives this book 4 meows with a 4 purr heat index...

Hi Ya'll! Come join me while I tell you about this book I just read.

The title is...a Wake Up by Guilia Lagomarsino. it's book 19 in the Owens Protion Services series. You should read this in order because there are recurring characters and most times an overall series arc as well as the main arc of the book.

The cover is interesting, I really like these covers. The summary drew me in because

of this right here, 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.' Yeah this is gonna be different!

My favorite main character was... Max because not many can write such unlikable characters and make you fall in love with them, but Guila can. Case in point, one of the most popular characters in this series is Fox, a funyon eating psychopath that gets his jollies torturing and disposing of the bodies in acid. Only the baddies, of course.

There is a secondary character I loved *points above to Fox* Yeah, we got lots of him plus FNG.

The plot was intriguing with Max and his drunken self and a preachers daughter? Now there's opposites for ya.

There is a small mission though I'd have liked more suspense and missions. But there is lots of humor too. Gotta love that.

The ending is good but I was expecting a bit more. Though all the endings are unique. Now time for the next book.

I recommend this if you like unique characters, ex-military, preachers daughters, age gap, virgins, opposites attract, lots of heat and humor.

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.
