Undercover Angel, March 23, 2009
This review is from: Undercover Angel (Incognito Series, Book 7) (Paperback)
Following the path of her father Shannon Mckee, Captain and second in command at the Network takes her job and the network very seriously. When the man who killed her little brother years ago resurfaces Shannon's desire for revenge has her going undercover on what could be a suicide mission to make drug trafficker Mareno Ortega pay.
The last thing Shannon expected was to find herself in a love triangle with feelings for a man she believed herself to detest and fellow agent Commander Ron Blair whose concern for her is more than that of co-workers.
Undercover Angel is another edition of this series that played on my emotions as well as kept me on edge with the suspense, drama and the adrenaline rush these stories exemplify. Shannon's hard demeanor was penetrated and her emotions were spread thin between people she never expected herself to care about. What I love about this series are the strong women characters Karen Wiesner creates and Shannon is one of her best. Undercover Angel is the seventh installment of this series but as with all the other books it stands alone. And as with the other books nothing is ever as it seems.

This review is from: Undercover Angel (Incognito Series, Book 7) (Paperback)
The Network is the world's most covert organization with underground headquarters in Chicago. The Network was created by Captain Tom McKee and it takes over where regular law enforcement leaves off. When Tom was assassinated, his daughter Shannon took over. Even as she kept the Network at top performance, she also kept watch for the elusive Mareno Ortega. For eleven years Shannon has been seeking vengeance on Ortega for her younger brother's death.
Captain Ron Blair had promised Tom long ago that he would look after Shannon. Ron and Shannon had been together during the worst of times (believing they were going die while in an enemy prison) and the best of times (a month as lovers). Ron never expected to fall in love with her. The Network does not allow for intimacy. Recruits willingly gave up all they possessed, including any private life, before signing on the line and becoming agents. Private lives could be used by the enemy to compromise the Network, so they are forbidden.
For once, the Network has a solid lead on Mareno Ortega's location, Shell Island, Florida. Shannon insisted on being the one to go in and bring the kingpin down. But Ron knows all that led Shannon up to this point and has seen how stressed out she has become. Fearing Shannon may soon crack, he decides to take some action.
***** The Incognito series continues to pick up speed with excitement and romance. My only real disappointment, if you could even call it that, is the mission did not really begin until almost half way into the story. Do not worry though, the first half is in no way boring. Readers get to finally learn about Shannon's past and what makes her the stern, no nonsense, harsh leader that she is. After this, readers may think of the tough lady in a nicer way. Fantastic! *****
