Atlas (Mike Bravo Ops #3)


It's. Finally. Here. The third
installment of Eden Finley's Mike Bravo Ops series. "Atlas." Also known as when Lemon finally get's his HEA (got to admit, I had to go back to "Thorned Heart" (Cash Me Outside series--part of the Famous series) to remember Lemon, but holy. fuck. Lemon.).

["Atlas
Working undercover at a strip club is not my usual kind of job. If it weren’t a great opportunity to show the Mike Bravo team I can run my own op, I wouldn’t have agreed to it.
When my boss asks me to befriend the biggest gossip in the establishment, the person who knows everything, I’m even more reluctant. Because that happens to be one of the dancers. The only dancer to catch my attention in all the wrong ways.
I need to be professional or I will never prove I’m leadership material.
Only problem is, the guy with the stage name Lemon makes me want to be anything but professional.

Lemon
I’m sick of the new bartender throwing dirty looks my way. He’s as judgmental as he is hot, and let’s just say he’s really judgmental.
I don’t know why he’s working here if he looks down on us dancers so much. He could bartend at a regular club.
But when he saves me from a drunken customer getting too handsy, his attitude suddenly flips, and we find ourselves becoming … friends?
Underneath the judgment, it turns out Atlas is a total sweetheart.
Maybe more caring than anyone I’ve ever met.
I’ve never had a relationship before, but something tells me it could be way too easy to fall for the gentle giant."]

I love these books. What's more than a bunch of immature jocks with access to guns and explosives find their true love and happily ever after while evading some sort of bad guy. There's action and damsels in distress and explosives (if you've met the Mike Bravo guys yet, you know the explosives part needs said twice--at least twice) love confessions and possessive behavior and so. much. steam.

I don't know why I'm so surprised about the twists and double and triple twists. All of the secrets and you-think-you-know-what's-going-on-but-have-another-plot-twist twists. All of the almost kisses and almost deaths. Don't read this book if you're anxiety is acting up (yay) or if you're slightly drunk (apparently that makes my anxiety worse--yay).

I looooove this team. I love their banter and teasing and love and support and antics, and I'm so happy that we got more of them in this book. I just can't wait for the others to fall in love.

No one will beat Iris in my book (Princess Smooshy Face would agree), but Lemon is a very strong competitor

Trigger Warnings: domestic violence, organized crime, drugs, drug dealing, sex work, violence in general, and more
