Review
" This first book of the Incognito Series has me hooked! I was completely engrossed with these characters from word one. Page after page, I felt more connected to the story-line and was extremely impressed by how Ms. Wiesner worked in the underground tunnels and "mole people" that inhabit them. What a wonderful iece of originality. Typically a book on secret organiations and espionage can be very predictable and flat, but there was never a time I felt that this book was lacking. Very nicely done!" --Lighthouse Literary Reviews.

"... This is the first book in th Incognito Series. I found it to be a very solid foundation for what could very well turn out to be one of the best romantic suspense novels of the year. It Overflows in action and drama, with just the right amount of romance. Pre-order a copy if you can. Outstanding!" --Reviewed by Detra Fitch for Huntress Reviews.

"...NO ORDINARY LOVE is now ordinary book. Bincent and Kira are transcendent characters, almost larger than life, yet very human in their flaws and frailties. Love burns bright between them, but for Kira it is tarnished with fear, and for Vincent intertwined with duty. Can they possibly escape this baggage and build a real relationship? This is a page turner, taut , nail-biting thriller interwoven witha poignant, powerful romance. It is truly a book I could not put down. There are some spicy love scenes, but emotions far outweigh lust. My need to learn who actually are the good guys and the bad drove me to turn page after page. Revelations came just often enough to keep me off balance until the end, which is happy in spite of all the angst to get there. My recommendation? Buy it . Read it. Soon!" --Cofee Time Romance

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

By	Detra Fitch (USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

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. The people of The Network often "neutralize" anyone, even the innocent, in order to preserve the organization's invisibility and remove any threat of exposure. But when a ten-year-old girl witnesses her father shot down in cold blood, one member of The Network decides to disappear with her, instead of allowing the child to be neutralized.

Kira Gunn is twenty-five and already owns a multi billion-dollar corporation. But of her twenty-five years of life, she can only remember the last fifteen. Everything else is a blank. The only constant thing in her life is a man named Vincent Carson. For as long as Kira can recall, Vincent has been there. He cares for her every need. He home schooled her. He helped her begin her business from scratch. He even taught her to use and clean firearms. But most importantly, Vincent hold and soothes her every time she has the nightmares that trigger her seizures. Those occur every time she dreams.

But the time Vincent has been dreading has finally arrived. Kira wants answers. When she learns who Vincent really is and all he has done (and is still doing) to protect her, will she still care for him? Or will she run in horror?

***** This is the first book in the Incognito Series. I found it to be a very solid foundation for what could very well turn out to be one of the best romantic suspense novels of the year. It overflows in action and drama, with just the right amount of romance. Pre-order a copy if you can. Outstanding! *****

No Ordinary Love is book 1 in the Incognito Series. Fans of romance and suspense will love this book. This is not your run-of-the-mill romance, suspense story. Karen Wiesner has written a very unpredictable plot. Readers will not want to put this book down.
Kira could not remember her childhood. Nightmares plagued her sleep. The fashion designer knew Vincent Carson would always take care of her. Vince took care of everything. She was only eighteen-years-old when she formed the successful business, Kira Gunn Industries. She promised herself that she would not continue to depend on him; she would take control of her own life. She takes and takes from him, and he never asks for anything in return. Vince knows that if she remembers who she is and what happened to her, they will be hunted down and assassinated. Readers will enjoy watching their relationship grow and mature.

5.0 out of 5 stars No Ordinary Love, February 8, 2008

By	M. Nix "Joyfully Reviewed" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fifteen years and Vincent Carson - that is all that Kira Gunn knew
about her life. She was twenty-five years old, but she couldn't
remember anything before that day when sixteen-year-old Vincent
rescued her. She didn't know her true name, who her parents were, or
where she was from.

She knew that they had run when Vincent first found her. He had also
taught her how to protect herself, and where to go if he sensed
danger. But what was this danger? She ran a large corporation,
wasn't totally inconspicuous, but nobody had ever disturbed their lives.

Could she truly trust Vincent? As Kira starts to exert her wishes to
learn more about her past, Vincent keeps pushing back, avoiding her
questions, and preventing her from learning more. Kira doesn't know
if this is because there truly is someone after them, or maybe Vincent
himself was not someone she should trust.

No Ordinary Love was an emotional read. It is obvious that Vincent's
entire world revolves around Kira. He gave up everything to focus on
Kira's safety, well-being, and happiness. He had devoted everything
he was to her. For him, this should be enough, but Kira needs more.
She wants to know what happened all those years ago. Since nothing
has threatened them since, she believes the past is over and they are
safe. Personally, I was firmly in Vincent's corner. He is a hero any
woman would be thrilled to have. While I could understand Kira's
uncertainties, I couldn't help but feel she acted a bit like a spoiled
child. Still, I could excuse her, to some extent, since there was no
way for Kira to truly comprehend the enormity of their danger when
Vincent wasn't completely open with her.

No Ordinary Love was also a thrilling suspense as Vincent and Kira
face the past. It is unknown if anyone can be considered friend, but
everyone is a potential foe. Without giving spoilers, I will simply
say I loved the help they received. It was unique. I am thrilled
that additional stories in this series are already available and am
eager to read them.
