Book Description

Publication Date: March 1, 2007

Rebel Porter is a man on the edge. His wife was killed to silence evidence he uncovered on a dangerously corrupt man of power. Now Reb is in hiding, and he's as afraid to lose someone else to the bounty on his head as to lose his heart to another woman. Corrupt head of Network operations, Giles Jameson has gone MIA. As a boy, he'd been brought in with the choice: join or die. Giles joined, vowing secretly to bring down the Network. Working with an organized crime ring, Giles had killed a senator. The son of that senator was Rebel Porter, who grew up to be an investigative reporter who spent his life searching for Giles and the covert organization he believed he headed. When Reb disclosed his findings on public radio, Giles covered up the breach and silenced Reb by arranging to have his wife killed. Now 16 years later, Giles has begun his life-long mission to destroy the Network for good.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant. Book three in the Incognito series., May 22, 2008

This review is from: Bounty on the Rebel's Heart (Incognito Series, Book 3) (Paperback)

The members call it "The Network", but the covert organization really has no name. The members are incognito, totally erased from the world. The organization has branches all over the world. Only the American President and a select committee in the White House, called Oversight, even know it exists.

Rebel "Reb" Porter is on a mission to destroy the Network. Giles, the corrupt former head of Network operations who is now MIA, had killed Reb's father (a senator) sixteen years ago. Reb grew up and became an investigative reporter. He has evidence on Giles and the Network. A few years ago Giles had Reb's wife killed and made it look like an accident. Reb is determined not to get close to another woman for fear of the same happening. For two years now Reb has been in hiding with his German Shepherd, Scout. All his evidence is safely hidden. The last person he expected to come looking for him, and find him, was Adrienna "Ad" Kelly. Ad had been just one of many women he'd inadvertently shattered and destroyed. Last time he saw Ad, she hated him. So why is Ad really with him?

Network operative Natalie Francis is altered to resemble Adrienna Kelly so she could get close to Reb and retrieve the evidence he has on the Network. The Network's secrecy would be totally compromised should she fail to do so. She did not expect to find Reb in frail form and horribly sick. Caring for him is not easy since strong odors cause her to have "mind seizures". But what is the illness Reb gets almost weekly? Where is the evidence hidden? And can she keep herself from falling for Reb?

***** This is the third book in the Incognito series and the author seems to get better with each tale she writes. The story is extremely well written and totally believable. If you are looking for a quick read go elsewhere. This story is so good you simply must savor it. As the ending drew near, I found myself slowing down to do just that. Unlike most novels in the Romantic Suspense genre, this one does not slow down toward the middle. It is not fast paced, but there intrigue throughout the entire book. Brilliant! *****

This review is from: Bounty on the Rebel's Heart (Incognito Series, Book 3) (Paperback)

Rebel Porter lost everything because of the `Network'. His father and his wife's deaths were connected to the `Network', and the rogue agent Giles Jameson. Reb wants the Network and Jamison to pay for what they did to his family.

Network Agent Natalie Francis goes uncover as Rebel's ex girlfriend. Her features are altered to those of journalist Adrienna Kelly in order to gain Rebel's trust and the evidence he has against the Network. In the beginning going after Rebel was just another job, a mission for Natalie, after finding him she finds herself wanting to abandon the network to be with him. But knowing what they know neither one of them will be safe.

Bounty on the Rebel's Heart does not disappoint. This is a fantastic suspense novel, Natalie/Adrienna and Reb are a great team. I'm so fascinated by this society Karen Wiesner created. I can definitely see these books as serial movies. Her characterization is so strong and the characters are full of passion for the work they do and the people they love. Bounty On the Rebel's Heart is the third installment to the Incognito series, but it can definitely be read as a stand-alone.
