NO ORDINARY LOVE, Book 1
 
A Perfect 10! "NO ORDINARY LOVE centers on two characters that mean everything to each other, practically to the exclusion of anyone else. The first half of the book centers on Kira's and Vincent's relationship, while the second half is full of action that takes unusual but exhilarating twists and turns. One particular turn takes readers to a disturbing world underneath the New York subway. There are a few secondary characters; particularly well written are Angelo, Vincent's old mentor, and Piper, Kira's dog walker. Vincent and Kira are multi-layered characters, who even after being together day in and out for years, still don't quite know everything about each other. Their relationship is claustrophobic and obsessive, especially on Vincent's part. Ms. Wiesner does a good job of explaining why Vincent behaves this way. The lengths that Vincent takes to protect Kira will amaze readers. NO ORDINARY LOVE is the first book in Ms. Wiesner's Incognito Series, and...in my opinion, it's a classic. NO ORDINARY LOVE is no ordinary book, which is why I give it a perfect ten." ~Romance Reviews Today
 
5 Cups! "NO ORDINARY LOVE is no ordinary book. Vincent and Kira are transcendent characters, almost larger than life, yet very human in their flaws and frailties. This is a page turner, taut, nail-biting thriller interwoven with a 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!" ~Coffee Time Romance & More
 
5 Angels! "This fantastic, action packed story is one that I will be keeping in my favorites file. These well described and highly developed characters have such an emotional bond between them that it brought tears to my eyes many times while reading this tale. I didn't want to put it down and, when I absolutely had to, it kept calling me until I could get back to it. Wiesner has got herself a new fan with this captivating and enchanting book. I can't wait to read what else she has in store from the Network." ~Fallen Angel Reviews
 
5 Beacons! "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 storyline and was extremely impressed by Wiesner. What a wonderful piece of originality." ~Lighthouse Literary Reviews
 
5 Stars! "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. Outstanding!" ~Huntress Reviews
 
5 Stars! "NO ORDINARY LOVE is a superb romantic suspense thriller that has the audience wondering what is going on from the prologue in which an agent of an unnamed (at that point) group realizes what happened. The exhilarating story line never slows down until the final confrontation as Kira's thirst for her heritage leads her and her champion from relative safety into dangerous situations. The cast--especially the lead duo and the agent searching for them--seems genuine, which in turn makes the conspiratorial cover-up by a clandestine group feel real, too. As always, Karen Wiesner writes a must read for sub-genre fans." ~Harriet Klausner
 
5 Stars! “I loved this novel from start to finish. In fact, it should be made into a movie. It’d be a blockbuster! I love how Vincent Carson takes care of Kira Gunn, but what he most protects her from is her past. When she makes it clear he either helps her discover the reason for her nightmares or he has no place in her life (a torment for her because she’s in love with him), Vincent is forced to take a risk that might put them both in jeopardy. I could feel the love Vincent has for Kira that drives him to near obsession to keep her safe. I’m so hooked on this series! I can’t wait to read another.” ~Linda's Reviews
 
5 Stars! "NO ORDINARY LOVE was an emotional read. It is obvious that Vincent’s entire world revolves around Kira. NO ORDINARY LOVE was also a thrilling suspense as Vincent and Kira face the past. 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." ~Joyfully Reviewed
 
4.5 Stars! "Having read some other books written by Ms. Wiesner, I must say this was the best one of hers I've read. I felt like Wiesner was anticipating my desires as a reader and was able to deliver the story I wanted. Hold onto your hats at the end. Wow! There are more twists, curves and hairpin turns than on a mountain road. I couldn't put it down and was surprised at how some of the things turned out. NO ORDINARY LOVE is a delightful blend of romance and action. Both segments mesh so well that it will entertain and delight both romance lovers and action/adventure lovers alike." ~Once Upon a Romance Review
 
4 ½ Delightful Divas! “I was captivated from the very beginning. The prologue started the story off with a bang that rarely, if ever, really let up. I was kept on the edge of my seat, and I’ve learned to expect this from Wiesner. Emotionally draining and even raw made NO ORDINARY LOVE more powerful. I couldn’t put the story aside for any real length of time. The mystery is supremely gripping and extremely addictive. Wiesner really knows how to keep her readers totally absorbed. The stories in the Incognito Series are not only engrossing adventure suspense stories but also once-in-lifetime love stories and personally it’s a combination that I really enjoy. I really have no expectation that this will change. If you’ve never read anything before by Karen Wiesner I truly feel NO ORDINARY LOVE is an excellent place to start; but be forewarned, this is the first in a series of books and, from reading other books by this author, I’m here to say that it’s very hard, if nigh impossible, to just read one.” ~Kathy for Dark Diva Reviews
 
4 1/2 Stars! "Thankfully Karen Wiesner is quite a prolific author. This is the first book I have read by her, and now I can look forward to many hours curled up with her wonderful, suspenseful, romantic books! She truly knows how to imagine into existence deep, convoluted, intriguing plot concepts, and then to lead the reader on a twisted, curving path, in and out of present and past. This is one author I feel confident in recommending consistently. May she continue with her writing career for many decades to come!" ~Euro-Reviews
 
4 Delightful Divas! "I was immediately drawn into this intense and complex plot. Wiesner spent a lot of time building these characters and their story. This book kept me begging for more. I couldn’t stop thinking about it and I was drawn right back into this intriguing story. I'm dying to know more." ~Melissa for Dark Diva Reviews
 
4 Stars! "Fans of romance and suspense will love NO ORDINARY LOVE. 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. Readers will enjoy watching Kira and Vincent's relationship grow and mature." ~ReviewYourBook.com
 
4 Hearts! "Karen Wiesner has penned a not so ordinary book in NO ORDINARY LOVE. The book grabbed this reviewer's attention from the very first page. These characters are well defined and very believable. The prose in NO ORDINARY LOVE flows smoothly and the action keeps the reader on the edge of their seat. This reviewer felt as though she was right in the middle of the action due to Ms. Wiesner's amazing writing ability; kudos to Ms. Wiesner for this wonderful offering. The plot is well thought out and not a single loose thread is left at a very satisfying ending. This reviewer looks forward to the next installment of the Incognito Series." ~Love Romances
 
4 Stars! “The title couldn’t be more apropos. The love that Vincent has for Kira is nothing short of amazing. At the beginning I had my doubts but as I read on it became apparent it wasn’t what I’d originally started to think. Love that selfless is rare. Vincent’s love is intense yet simplistic. Kira and her safety are everything to him. This is a great basis for a series, and I’m anxious to find out what happened to Angelo and Piper. The Incognito Series is a perfect blend of intrigue, romance and action. The added layers, overall depth and character development put the series in a category all its own. They’re exciting, suspenseful and keep you on the edge. Definite keepers.” ~Manic Readers
 
4 Stars! "Mystery, suspense, and love are intermingled in this exciting story. Karen Wiesner has written an interesting book and I look forward to Book 2 of the Incognito Series." ~Sime-Gen Reviews
 
4 Stars! “NO ORDINARY LOVE is definitely the appropriate title for this tale of love and desire between Kira and Vincent. Ms. Wiesner has written the start of a series that both intrigues and has the reader questioning how this could actually happen. As I was reading all I had were more and more questions than I seemed to be getting answers, so the only option was to keep reading. I was intrigued by both Kira and Vincent. Kira at the beginning came across as a young lady who had everything, but in reality had nothing. She suffered from these strange seizures and she had Vincent there to look after her—ostensibly he was her assistant, but he knew things about her that he wasn't revealing and there was definitely more under the surface that was yet to be revealed. Ms. Wiesner has written a very intriguing story that made me keep reading and reading just to find out what would happen to the two main characters. A very interesting read. The journey of Kira and Vincent is one of devotion and undying love and also of intense sacrifice. Amazing, Ms. Wiesner—a great start to another interesting series and I for one can't wait to see how it continues to develop!” ~MR Review
 
4 Stars! "Romantic, a roller-coaster adventure, and mystery piled upon mystery, this compulsive reading. Wiesner weaves her tale skillfully, revealing little titbits of information excruciatingly slowly, luring the reader deeper and deeper in. Once you start, it is difficult to put down. Wiesner has an impressive array of writing awards to her credit. It is easy to see why." ~author Stephen Symons
 
4 Stars! “This novel maintains intense tension and suspense throughout without falling back on constant "action" (something I try to avoid in my reading, because I find it more confusing than exciting). The love between Vincent and Kira, as well as his reluctant devotion to the mentor he hasn't seen in many years, clashes with the pervasive feeling that we -- along with the characters -- are never sure who can be trusted. I sympathized with both Kira's reservations about trusting Vincent while he hides so many secrets from her and Vincent's frustration about not being able to keep her safe. Both come across as strong characters we root for even when they seem to be making unwise choices. The mystery of Kira's origin is gradually unfolded with just enough slow reveal to keep the reader eager for more.” ~author Margaret L. Carter
 
"This read has you sitting on the edge of your chair, packed with the high stakes, tension and intrigue you want. If you are looking for a tight, fast paced story with serious turns and twists to keep you guessing yet demand a satisfying HEA that makes it all worthwhile, I believe NO ORDINARY LOVE will meet your expectations. It blew mine away. I'm still reeling." ~Long and Short Reviews
 
"Wiesner has a talent for always leaving her audience wanting to know more, and, with this book, she's done what she does best: Drawn me into the lives of the characters so I was totally wrapped up in their story. I highly recommend this novel and cannot wait for the next book in this series." ~Writers Unlimited
 
"A surprising and outstanding read. NO ORDINARY LOVE is a superbly written story that will keep readers entertained from the first word to the last. I read the book in one sitting, unable to put it down. Wiesner has given readers a book not to be missed, one that will have readers ready and waiting for book two." ~MyShelf.com
 
"NO ORDINARY LOVE: that is what Karen Wiesner delivers in this very intense story of a man who gives all to the one he loves. A man who will provide, not only for the now but also for the foreseeable future, and fight to defend his love even at the cost of his own live. One cannot help but wish that out there somewhere, there is one who will love us as Vincent loves Kira." ~Romance Junkies
 
“Wiesner has written a very intriguing story that made me keep reading and reading just to find out what would happen. Amazing, Ms. Wiesner—a great start to another interesting series and I for one can't wait to see how it continues to develop!” ~Manic Readers
 
"Having this be the first book of the Incognito Series, Wiesner really set the bar high. NO ORDINARY LOVE is not only action packed but it is also a sizzling romance. I read this book straight through because there was not one appropriate place to stop reading. The story never slowed down, never got boring, and makes you want to pick up her second book and keep on going. Wiesner writes very fluidly and gives us detail just where we need it. This is an excellent book, and I hope her other books will follow suit!" ~Front Street Reviews
 
"What a fabulous mystery romance NO ORDINARY LOVE is! The author, Karen Wiesner, has created a story to thrill all! The first book in the Incognito Series, NO ORDINARY LOVE, rolls from the crest of a riveting wave of storytelling!" ~Rolling Seas Reviews
 
"The first book in the Incognito Series hooks the reader from the prologue. This story is a page-turner and gets you hooked before the prologue is even over. It follows the story of Vincent and Kira, the defector and a subject, as they try to reconcile themselves with the past and try to move on into the future. It has everything--drama, romance, action, and an overwhelming amount of suspense making you turn page after page. This is a brilliant start to the Incognito Series and many characters are seen in later books. A definite must-read." ~TCM Reviews
 
NO ORDINARY LOVE by Karen Wiesner grabs the reader from the first page and never lets go until the last, with fast and spine-chilling action. Vincent is a remarkable hero--tough, dangerous, a killer when he has to be. His only vulnerability--a need for love." ~author Jane Toombs
 
"One of my all-time favorites now (though I just finished it yesterday) is a romantic suspense called NO ORDINARY LOVE by Karen Wiesner. Wow! That book had me up all night wondering how it was going to end and if it was going to have a happy ending." ~Coffee Time Romance & More reader
 
UNTIL DEATH DO US PART, Book 2
 
5 Stars and Top Pick! "Karen Wiesner does it again! Incognito Series is entertaining. Love, danger, and suspense will keep the reader on the edge of their seat. I could not put this book down. From the action in the beginning to the surprise ending, I hung onto every word. Wiesner successfully draws readers into the plot. The characters are multi-dimensional. I like that she mentions characters from Book 1. Wiesner once again proves how talented she is. Fans of romance and suspense do not miss UNTIL DEATH DO US PART." ~Readers' Favorite
 
5 Cups! "I have just found my new favorite suspense author! This story ably demonstrates the professionalism Wiesner brings to her writing. The entire book showcases her talent brilliantly, a seamless plot that held me in its grip, realistic scenarios and dialogue, and a skill with language that took me out of merely reading a book and transported me through the world she created. I read on, despite the need for sleep, spellbound from first page to last, gasping outrage even while accepting that there could be no other ending than the one presented." ~Coffee Time Romance & More
 
5 Delightful Divas and Recommended Read! “With this book, you’ve got all the ingredients for a romance that, in reality, supersedes the rather insipid descriptor ‘romance.’ The only way to discover the reality is to immerse yourself in not only this story but the series. I have a feeling that by the time I’m done, I’m going to have difficulty ascertaining which way is up. Wiesner has written a story that is not always easy to read—don’t expect that it will be—but it’s compelling and riveting, thrilling and heartbreaking and with a suspense that really will keep you on tenterhooks, never mind inciting the emotions like you wouldn’t believe! I only hope I don’t before the end.” ~Kathy for Dark Diva Reviews
 
5 Hearts and Sweetheart Award Winner! "A thrilling ride that makes the adrenaline soar. I kept expecting the action and the characters to bolt from the pages and come to life. That's how real this story is. Wiesner once again composes an excellent well-written drama that keeps the reader edge-of-the-seat spellbound. Wiesner never disappoints and every story is cleverly constructed. I always look forward to reading her stories." ~ Linda L. for The Romance Studio
 
5 Stars! "I couldn't put this book down. From the action in the beginning to the surprise ending, I hung onto every word. Wiesner successfully draws readers into the plot. The characters are multi-dimensional. I like that she mentions characters from Book 1. Wiesner once again proves how talented she is. Fans of romance and suspense, do not miss this one." ~ReviewYourBook.com
 
5 Beacons! "I didn't think Wiesner's books could get any better and then I read UNTIL DEATH DO US PART. This second book in the Incognito Series, which was expertly segued by book one, has me panting for number three. There is never a dull moment in the Network. Wiesner has me believing in this organization one hundred percent. This entire series is highly recommended, and I haven't even read them all yet!" ~Lighthouse Literary Reviews
 
5 Angels! "Wiesner shows talent and imagination for telling a fast-paced, booty-kicking story with all of the pitfalls and suspense one would expect from a romantic suspense novel. Wiesner gives us plenty of meaty story here, and fans of tautly written, danger's edge fiction will be in heaven. With multi-faceted characters, many-layered plot devices and a love found under surprising circumstances, UNTIL DEATH DO US PART pleases and completely satisfies." ~Fallen Angel Reviews
 
5 Hearts! "This book was one of the most powerful love and mystery/suspense stories I'll probably ever read. When I started it, I intended to read for a few minutes to fall asleep but the first time I looked up from the book it was already five a.m. The story is quietly and subtly a thrilling roller coaster ride of suspense and intrigue. Wiesner proves herself an amazing plot master. The storyline and delivery are exquisite. You don't want to miss this one." ~another The Romance Studio reviewer
 
5 Stars! "The second Incognito book is a fabulous romantic suspense that keeps the intrigue at stratospheric levels throughout. UNTIL DEATH DO US PART will enhance Wiesner's deserved reputation as one of the subgenre's consistent best." ~Harriet Klausner

5 Stars! "I am happy to say that even though UNTIL DEATH DO US PART is the second book in the Incognito Series, it is still a standalone story. You do not have to read book one NO ORDINARY LOVE to fully understand and enjoy this adventure. Nor will you be left hanging with loose ends, waiting on the next book in the series. To make a series that readers can read in, or out, of order is an outstanding idea, in my opinion. Very few series succeed in accomplishing this difficult feat. So author Karen Wiesner has done what few before her could do. It is even harder to write about a couple's romance, while also adding in enough about a secondary couple AND a dangerous element. One minute I found myself hoping the main characters could make their attraction to each other work, and the next minute I was left breathless due to a sudden attack. This book had me on the edge of my seat often, and had my full attention constantly. Outstanding and highly recommended reading!" ~Huntress Reviews
 
5 Stars! "I was caught up in this novel from the first page. It started with Kirsten assigned to rescue her new boss of a top secret organization since the previous leader turned rogue, unleashing a virus to take down their systems. Once that's done, Kirsten and Ash go undercover, pretending to be married to uncover more corruption by their previous head of operations. Their neighbors Raven and Casey lost their son, presumably by the corrupted leader. Their grief made me break down, imagining something like that happening to my own children. Kristen and Ash had worked together six years ago, another undercover assignment in which their feelings for each other had seemed so real. With twists and turns, and no way to clearly communication because their jobs won't allow them anything but loyalty to the Network, UNTIL DEATH DO US PART stirred emotions in me I never realized I had." ~Linda's Reviews
 
4 1/2 Stars! "Once again Wiesner produces a non-stop thriller jam-packed with all the elements of mystery, suspense, romance, cliffhanger moments, and heartstopping excitement. I highly recommend this entire series, which function either in the context of the series, or as stand-alone novels. If you're seeking a suspenseful story which throws you into the heart of the matter from the first sentence, and keeps you turning the pages long after your disbelief is suspended and you've forgotten you are reading the story, not living it, then pick up a Karen Wiesner book!" ~Euro-Reviews
 
4 1/2 Stars and 2006 eCataromance Reviewer’s Choice Award Nominee! "Consuming breathtaking. Wiesner is a master storyteller that caught my attention--my whole attention--in a wonderful and challenging love story." ~eCataromance
 
4 Delightful Divas! "Well-written, the tension in this book was intense and kept me on my toes and turning the pages as quickly as I could. I could go on and on about this extremely complex plot and very realistic characters, but I will leave it at this: Wiesner is a talented writer who pulls you in on the first page. I could feel every emotion her characters experienced as my own. The plot, being so complex and fast paced, can leave your head spinning, but everything pulls together in the end. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series." ~Melissa for Dark Diva Reviews
 
4 Stars! “Book 2 picks up with Angelo and Piper right where Book 1 left off. I’m glad I didn’t have to wait. It starts off with a lot of action and doesn’t let up. Kirsten and Ash are chosen in an Alpha Mission to protect a reporter that the traitor will attempt to kill. UNTIL DEATH DO US PART shows not only the developing relationship between the operatives and their pasts but the consequences of the traitor’s actions on civilians. This enhances the story and puts it in another realm when compared to similar stories. Truly excellent and kept me riveted.” ~Manic Readers
 
Very Highly Recommended! "Wiesner does a brilliant job with tight writing, and she creates complex characters, even minor ones. She never leaves readers dangling. She has thought of everything, therefore creating a world that is believable and intriguing. Kristen and Ash lead messy lives, so there is no traditional happy ending for them, but there is a compromise that readers will think is just and fitting for the characters. There is enough background information so readers unfamiliar with NO ORDINARY LOVE will not feel lost reading this story. But I would suggest reading it anyway just for the enjoyment. In fact, read UNTIL DEATH DO US PART before reading NO ORDINARY LOVE because then you will have a better understanding of what those characters' lives were like before. UNTIL DEATH DO US PART has plenty of action and passion; it is a book well worth reading and one which I highly recommend." ~Romance Reviews Today
 
"If putting down the first book in this series seemed impossible, UNTIL DEATH DO US PART provoked an addiction for Karen Wiesner's storytelling!" ~Rolling Seas Reviews
 
"NO! NO! NO! was exactly what I was yelling when I got to the end as I realized Karen had done it once again--left me with that you-can't-leave-me-hanging-like-this feeling. The ending of UNTIL DEATH DO US PART is a beautiful segue into the next novel in the Incognito Series and it left me literally screaming for more. Once again Karen Wiesner's magic is apparent in this novel. While it is a wonderful novel full of intrigue, betrayal and mystery, it is the characters that take on a life of their own. The reader is drawn to these strong people with everyday problems. Karen Wiesner has a knack for making her characters real. UNTIL DEATH DO US PART is a dynamic title for this novel. To risk loving someone could very well mean a bullet to the brain for one of the operatives of The Network. Ashton Barnett and Kirsten Ulrick are two members of the covert and secret organization who are willing to take the Until Death Us Do Part chance. I can't wait for the next book to continue this story." ~Writers Unlimited
 
"This story is masterfully created, starting right where the last one leaves off. It is, however, not necessary at all to read the first one to grasp the plot of this one. This book is once again, an awesome read, from start to finish, and I personally recommend it to anyone interested in mystery, suspense, romance, or action. It has it all." ~TCM Reviews
 
“UNTIL DEATH DO US PART is a very good read. Although it’s part of a series, the story stands alone and it’s a very intriguing one. This is a very enthralling book, the action had me glued to the pages and the romantic aspect had me hoping for the best between Kirsten/Kris and Ash/Nathan as well as for the Harris’. The author Karen Wiesner has a great talent of giving life and realistic personality to her characters. I really enjoyed UNTIL DEATH DO US PART, and I am looking forward to reading the other books in this series.” ~Joyfully Reviewed
 
"UNTIL DEATH DO US PART takes the reader further into the world that Karen's clever mind has constructed to thrill and chill us. As I read this story, it kept me on the edge. I appreciated the breakdown of The Network hierarchy in the beginning. It put things in perspective; that this is a huge undertaking with the potential for some incredible storytelling in the future, of which this book is a part. It opens with action and it keeps you riveted. By the time I finished reading this story, I had the intense desire to demand that Karen have Shannon fall flat on her face in love. If this is in anyway a set up or foreshadowing for the future, good. I am ready and committed to seeing this great lady get slapped with the reality that is love. Angelo is a carryover from Book 1 and a strong and compelling character. In this installment, the reader gets a glimpse into his painful past and you start to connect with him as more than just the hard hitting third in command. He has humane elements that have not been programmed out of him and I appreciated the many nuances that Karen gives him. UNTIL DEATH DO US PART is a roller coaster of a ride taking the reader from critical conflict scenes to hair-twisting scenarios and onto moments of passionate love that leave the reader aching for more, never mind the main characters. As much as I can rave about this story, I have to say that the HEA is unconventional. It's there, but Karen wisely has kept it within the reality and confines of The Network. It may frustrate the reader but think about it. How must Kirsten and Ash feel? How intense must the feelings be of love and passion, repressed emotions, yet filled with the hope that there is more? That there can be more? I'd say quite a bit. Enough to keep me reading and wanting more too. I can't wait until the next book!" ~Long and Short Reviews
 
"This is book two in the Incognito Series, and most definitely one that will have readers on the edge of their seats. UNTIL DEATH DO US PART is a magnificent tale with distinctive characters that will have fans feeling as if they are involved in the story. A thrilling, action-packed, sensually romantic book not to be missed. Magnificently fast-paced, sexy romance." ~MyShelf.com
 
"Wiesner's tale begins quickly with a strong opening scene. The story moves quickly, and the tension stays high." ~RT Book Reviews
 
"I thought it would be tough to beat the first book in the series, but the second book came close. UNTIL DEATH DO US PART definitely stands on its own two feet with all new action and romance. Karen Wiesner does a great job at keeping this story both steamy with romance between these two forbidden lovers and with action and gives us just the right amount of detail and keeps the story flowing from scene to scene, urging the reader to keep reading. This series appears to keep getting better, so hopefully Book 3 will live up to its expectation… This is definitely a series to read if you are someone that likes a little bit of steamy romance, and a whole lot of action-packed, edge-of-your-seat fun. She shows us that regardless of what job you are asked to do, you can’t ignore your human emotions and feelings, regardless of the consequences. It is the ultimate sacrifice." ~Front Street Reviews
 
BOUNTY ON THE REBEL'S HEART, Book 3
 
5 Flags! "Wiesner has a talent for delivering well-delineated characterization along with a suspense-laden plot that will keep the reader guessing through the myriad twists and turns. Nothing is ever what it seems, and the reader will find herself racing through the book to uncover one denouement after another. I highly recommend Wiesner's novels, the Incognito Series, and BOUNTY ON THE REBEL'S HEART. This is an author never to be missed." ~Euro-Reviews
 
5 Hearts and Sweetheart Award Winner! "A magnificent read. The cast is splendid. The way Wiesner pens these realistic characters make this an extraordinary read. She puts the reader in the center of the action with all the riveting moments of suspense, jeopardy and heartwarming romance that reaches out and touches the reader. I love the way she spins her stories and characters, leaving the audience satisfied." ~The Romance Studio
 
5 Stars! "The author seems to get better with each tale she writes. The story is extremely well written and totally believable. This story is so good, you simply must savor it. As the ending drew near, I found myself slowing down to do just that. Brilliant!" ~Huntress Reviews
 
5 Stars! "The third Incognito Series book is a terrific suspense thriller filled with superb characters and plenty of plausible exciting twists that keep the audience reading to learn what happens next, especially to Reb and Natalie. Though BOUNTY ON THE REBEL'S HEART can stand alone as a fabulous action-packed tale, fans will want to know how Reb and Giles got to the point where both are hiding. Karen Wiesner has another triumph in a winning series." ~Midwest Book Review
 
5 Stars! "BOUNTY ON THE REBEL'S HEART is a good tension builder. It is also mysteriously intriguing. The thrill of wanting to know what lies beyond each page became an excursion. It was like reading a spy novel. You, the reader, are about to embark on a journey into a marvelous adventure, filled with great action and suspense, that only Karen Wiesner could formulate." ~Sime~Gen
 
5 Stars! "A great read. The plot is packed full of action. Wiesner uses a combination of suspense, intrigue, and romance to enthrall the reader. This book would make a great movie. Fans of suspense and romance, rush out and get it." ~ReviewYourBook.com
 
5 Stars! “Rebel Porter’s father was a senator killed by the rogue head of a covert government agency. As one of the reporters who attempted to expose the coup, Reb’s wife was killed to silence him. With a bounty on his own head, he vows no one else will die because of him. He’s in hiding, cut off from all civilization. Natalie Francis goes undercover to get the evidence that could put the corrupt leader away for good. I was in awe at all Natalie went through, especially after she fell for Reb. I can’t wait to delve deeper into this series and its exciting characters.” ~Linda's Reviews
 
5 Stars! “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.” ~Joyfully Reviewed
 
4 1/2 Delightful Divas! “Wiesner kept me glued to the pages. I’m really becoming more and more impatient to discover what happens at the end of this series. Wiesner is drawing very unexpected rabbits out of the hat…or perhaps not entirely unexpected, but still very surprising! The flow of the story is excellent. Wiesner doesn't fall back on any trite let’s-make-everything-come-out-right-regardless-of-background-or-characters fashion. It’s really worth it! I also love the continuation of characters from the previous books. You never truly lose contact with characters that you grew to care for. With BOUNTY ON THE REBEL’S HEART, Wiesner has upped the ante and left me hungering for more and more of her amazing Incognito Series.” ~Kathy for Delightful Divas Reviews
 
4 ½ Delightful Divas! "Wiesner pulls off twists and turns I never would have expected, though I should know better after reading the first two books. This book follows the others in that it is a fast-paced romantic suspense, loaded with action and very powerful characters. As with the other books, I immediately fell in love with the characters. They are amazingly real and very memorable. Wiesner is obviously a very talented writer." ~Melissa for Dark Diva Reviews
 
4 Books! This next foray into The Network took me completely by surprise. I wonder if Wiesner is a master chess player. Just when I think I know what to expect in tone and style, the author pulls a lemur out of her magician's hat. What I have come to expect in reading the Incognito Series continues in this story: heart-pumping action, intrigue, shock and awe, passion and elation. I can almost envision Wiesner rubbing her hands in wicked glee after coming up with this twist. She's a very devious author. That said, I'm more than ready for the next adventure." ~Long and Short Reviews
 
4 Stars! “We heard a lot about Rebel in the second book. BOUNTY ON THE REBEL’S HEART is exciting. When the action starts, it doesn’t let up and you’re swept right along with it. There were some surprises and that’s always fun. I love that the women in this series aren’t helpless. Natalie is saving Rebel—not the other way around.” ~Manic Readers
 
4 Stars! "Espionage and intrigue are key components in this new installment of Wiesner's Incognito Series. From the heroine who isn't quite who she seems to the hero with the mysterious illness, this book grabs you at the first page and doesn't let up on the action until the last page. When something goes wrong with Natalie's team, the two go undercover to stay alive--and, in the process, find love." ~RT Book Reviews
 
4 Angels! "The characters Wiesner creates are so bold and full of life that you expect them to jump off the pages and the world they live in is so vividly portrayed that you feel like you are experiencing it right along with the characters. BOUNTY ON THE REBEL'S HEART is a book you won't want to miss. It's so full of danger, passion, and suspense that will keep you reading long into the night." ~Fallen Angel Reviews
 
"From the Incognito Series by author Karen Wiesner, Book 3: BOUNTY ON THE REBEL'S HEART is another compelling to die for story! Trained operatives of the covert organization, The Network, deal out absolute justice when government organizations and the law fail. Natalie Francis runs against the clock to unearth the evidence. BOUNTY ON THE REBEL'S HEART is a fabulous read-as addictive as the first two book in the series, NO ORDINARY LOVE and UNTIL DEATH DO US PART. The Network series would make a great TV Series. A heartstopper filled with action!" ~Rolling Seas Reviews
 
"Once again the masterful pen of Karen Wiesner has written a powerful novel. The romance between the two main characters is sexy and hot. The idea that The Network could actually exist is an intriguing one. As the tale of Reb is brought to a satisfying end, the reader cannot help but wonder whose story will be told next. I am always anxious to read what the fertile mind of Karen Wiesner has produced. She is a masterful storyteller and needs to be on everyone's automatic buy list." ~Writers Unlimited
 
"Karen Wiesner's Incognito Series definitely is one not to be missed, and this book, BOUNTY ON THE REBEL'S HEART, is just one more installment that will have fans on the edge of their seats and wanting more. Magnificent." ~MyShelf.com
 
"Wiesner's strongest point as a writer is her ability to create a fully developed, detailed-oriented world with its own rules that readers are invested and believe in. BOUNTY ON THE REBEL'S HEART is as strong as the first two books in the series." ~Romance Reviews Today
 
"BOUNTY ON THE REBEL'S HEART was filled with some action and great twists; especially at the end. What doesn’t change is the action and romance. Karen Wiesner does a great job at paralleling these. She doesn’t overload you with too much romance and action, but at the same time you are definitely not lacking either. The ending is something I won’t give away, but it is wonderful and is something you wouldn’t predict." ~Front Street Reviews
 
"This story is full of drama, angst, comfort, regrets, and love. Once again, Ms. Wiesner has demonstrated her capability to make the unreal seem real. The whole book is like watching an action-packed movie." ~TCM Reviews
 
DEAD DROP, Book 4
 
5 Books! "As the first chapter unfolded in DEAD DROP, my throat constricted with tension and my breath labored with anticipation. The feelings that grabbed me in the previous books are back, stronger than ever. Once again, emotional drama embraces pain, hope, passion, anger and betrayal as Wiesner sharpens our focus. DEAD DROP met my romance book needs. It embraced strong and pure passion and love, it held my absolute attention with its suspense and high tech wonders and the characters made me care while I cried, bit my nails and ate lots of chocolate as I read wide-eyed. DEAD DROP is dead on. And I'm ready for more." ~Long and Short Reviews
 
5 Angels and FAR Recommended Read Award! "Wiesner has once again surpassed my expectations with the Incognito Series! Her characters have such life and passion in them that they stay with you long after the story is over. And I have to say that I love a book that keeps you in the moment and gives you no time to think ahead of what might be coming as DEAD DROP does. If you haven't yet had a chance to read this series then you are definitely missing out on a great read!" ~Fallen Angel Reviews
 
5 Flags! "Author Karen Wiesner continues to demonstrate the enviable capacity to enrapture her readers within the first page or two of any story. Readers, race to pick up DEAD DROP, then set aside a block of time sufficient to read it start to finish, because you will not be willing to put this book down until the end!" ~EuroReviews
 
5 Stars! "If possible, this story is even better than any of the previous. Readers will have a hard time finding a moment to catch their breaths.. The middle is just as fast-paced and intriguing as the beginning and the end. The main characters are well developed and so are most of the secondary ones. All-in-all, I am beginning to believe that the author has one of the most fertile imaginations I have ever seen." ~Huntress Reviews
 
5 Stars! "DROP DEAD is an exhilarating tale that grips the audience from the opening déjà vu sequence until the final confrontation. The lead couple makes the tale as this is no second chance at love since the Network stopped the first time and prepares to intervene again. Although Karen Wiesner's latest book can stand alone as a terrific, character-driven action thriller, newcomers will want to read the previous stories as these are some of the best novels around." ~Harriet Klausner
 
5 Stars! “WOW OH WOW! I sympathized that FBI Agent Parris L'Engle couldn’t let go of her husband Daniel Sands even 25 years after the car accident that took him from her. As an investigator, Perry found too many anomalies to believe his death was an accident. Now the organization that tried to recruit Daniel before his supposed death is trying to recruit their son. The Network is nefarious. I can't believe what one man had to endure before he could obtain his freedom. I can't imagine the heartache Perry went through, losing everything and raising her son the way she had to when her husband was taken from her. I enjoyed reading this novel.” ~Linda's Reviews
 
4 ½ Delightful Divas! "This book was just as fast-paced and suspenseful as the first three. However, I felt like I got a more up-close and personal look at the characters than I have to this point. Wiesner is a master at creating suspenseful, extremely complex plots. Even better is her ability to bring to life powerful characters that hold you captive until the very end. The emotion is as real and deep as the danger at every turn." ~Melissa for Dark Diva Reviews
 
4 ½ Delightful Divas! “Once again, Wiesner takes us on a journey that is not only fraught with masses of intrigue, oodles of tension and a cast of characters that by turns excites and utterly frustrates me. I am totally loving the series. Karen Wiesner’s Incognito Series is one NOT to be missed. Make sure that you have a couple of books in the series in reserve because having to wait is killer. You'll want to completely immerse yourself in the world of the Network and people too amazing to not know.” ~Kathy for Dark Diva Reviews
 
4 Hearts! "Karen Wiesner has continued this series with an exceptional story of one woman’s belief in her man, her intuition and her skills. Against all odds she does what everyone told her was impossible for twenty-five years. Parris is one of those characters we can’t help but admire. Ms. Wiesner crafts a story of intrigue and deception within agencies of the government whether covert or not that is easy to believe in the world we know. Dialogue, characters and their interactions are all well-constructed. It’s easy to get involved with the story. Mike and Parris epitomize the relationship good partners have during investigations. Young Daniel is well done as a courageous offspring of FBI grandparents and mother. The more we learn of Parris’ and Daniel’s story the easier it is to hope a future might be possible. This author builds the suspense well. She keeps us guessing and hoping right to the very end. This is a great read I didn’t want to put down." ~The Romance Studio
 
4 Stars! "Karen Wiesner penned an entertaining read of intrigue, romance, and adventure. Perry was an incredible character. She exhibits strength and passion. Fans of romance and suspense will enjoy this book." ~ReviewYourBook.com
 
4 Cups! "This book made me wonder about 'white hats' and good or evil agencies. With Roan as a killing machine, I found that he did have his soul, after all, so family and love came through to save him. This is a telling story that shows us just what our government agencies might be doing and it is a very scary thought. It also makes me think about all our brave men and women that serve to protect us in the military and for the government. Also the price that may cost them with the loss of family, friends, trust, emotion and even self to get the job done." ~Coffee Time Romance & More
 
Joyfully Reviewed Recommended Read! "DEAD DROP is the most emotional of the Incognito Series and so far my favorite. Each story intensifies the series and keeps me wanting more." ~Joyfully Reviewed  
 
"This book in the series is my absolute favorite. The emotions and narration in this story are so real that it almost feels as if the reader is experiencing everything with the two main characters. The reactions, the emotions, everything in the story are just so incredibly believable. It is a page turner, a thriller, a romance, an action-packed novel, and everything in between. I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in reading something interesting or enjoyable. Five stars to Wiesner for producing another highly readable and enjoyable story about the Network and its members." ~TCM Reviews
 
"DROP DEAD is yet another great story to add to the Incognito Series by author Karen Wiesner. Characters within in the Incognito Series are as volatile as the potential terrorist attacks that unfold. Though the Network trains its operatives to a level of unemotional fighting machines, operatives' hearts cannot be ruled. DEAD DROP is another story in the Incognito Series worthy of contemplation for a script for a 'Network' television series. An enjoyable read!" ~Rolling Seas Reviews
 
"DEAD DROP is a haunting love story with a melancholy but ultimately hopeful tone. Is it a necessity that Network agents sacrifice all of their personal happiness for the greater good? In DEAD DROP, readers will get an even greater sense of the emotional toll that kind of sacrifice can cost a person. The Network agents' jobs are important, and they do save lives. Favorite Network agent Angelo, third in Command, is back and trying to look out for both the emotional welfare of his agents and the Network, no easy task. Justine Fielding, the Network Communications and Systems Analyst, is reintroduced, her story will be told in the next book in the series. Ms. Wiesner has a gift for making readers care about her characters. Perry is a strong woman who believes that her fiancé did not die twenty-five years ago, and in a way, realizes she was wrong--the man she knew and loved is dead. Roan is a brilliant man who has learned to live in a state of numbness and is more afraid to feel again than he is of taking a bullet in the line of duty. There are no happily-ever-afters in the Incognito Series Books, but characters come to some kind of an understanding, and as a result, hope and renewal are reached. DEAD DROP is no exception; pick up your copy today. I recommend it." ~ Romance Reviews Today
 
"The reader will be drawn into Roan's story as soon as the first page is turned. Karen Wiesner saved the best storyline for Roan. While I have enjoyed the whole Incognito Series, Roan's story is my favorite. It is a powerful statement for the strength of love being able to make changes in one's life. It is also a wonderful statement of everlasting love--the one we are all looking for in our own lives. If you have not read any of Karen Wiesner's series, you need to get acquainted with this multi-talented writer." ~Writers Unlimited
 
"A well-written story, DEAD DROP has an interesting storyline and a strong heroine who believes in the power of true love at any cost." ~RT Book Reviews
 
UNDER THE SPELL, Book 5
 
5 Angels and Recommended Read Award Winner! "What else can I say about this series that hasn't already been said? The books just keep getting better and better. UNDER THE SPELL is no exception. It is full of the action, adventure and mystery that abound in the Incognito Series. The sexual tension between Justine/Gina and Alex keeps you eagerly reading as you wait to see how it will finally turn out. This book has a lot of things going on and secondary characters that add to the mystery but the author never loses focus of the main characters. Author Karen Wiesner has a huge hit on her hands with UNDER THE SPELL, and I'm eagerly anticipating Book 6, RENEGADE'S ROSE!" ~Fallen Angel Reviews
5 Books! "Wiesner, the queen of the 'what if?' scenario, once again plays with the rules of her world. What ends up happening makes me believe in the impossible. I really fell for the romance of Justine and Alex and that made a bigger impact on me. What does the author come up with this time that satisfies the romantic in all of us? Wiesner has me under her spell and loving it!" ~Long And The Short Reviews
 
5 Hearts and Sweetheart Award Winner! "Karen Wiesner continues to weave some excellent storylines for this series about the covert operations of The Network. This time we get to go to working cattle ranch near Lubbock, Texas. The suspense is well done as suspicion falls on Alex and some unknown people who are searching the ranch when everyone is away or busy. The characters are well done as we see both of them fighting to avoid a broken heart but unable to say no to each other. There's great contrast and comparisons between Gina as a spoiled, stubborn, rich teenager, and the savvy operative she's become. Alex is one of those characters we can't help but adore as his honor and morals vie with his needs to be macho and take care of his woman. Ms. Wiesner builds the suspense with a little humor and a lot of romance to make it more fun. We're pretty sure of the culprits by the end but she throws in a twist that many readers may not guess ahead of time. This series continues to be full of variety and well worth reading." ~The Romance Studio
 
5 Stars! “Wow, the intrigue in this story had me rapidly reading! As a young girl, Gina Calhoun was a brat and a flirt. When her dad refused to let her marry Alex Lynch, she decided to run away. Years later, she’s returned, still in love with him. But her life has changed drastically. She’s part of a covert government organization, the Network. She’s been sent to discover if Alex is selling government information to foreign countries. Alex is an old-fashioned guy, and I loved that about him. Watching them fall in love all over again is every romantic’s dream, but their newfound happily-ever-after may prove bittersweet.” ~Linda's Reviews
 
5 Stars! "UNDER THE SPELL is a beautiful love story. The plot has unexpected twists and turns. Gina and Alex make one of those unforgettable couples. Their romance is enchanting. UNDER THE SPELL has the action and adventure we have come to expect in this series. Karen Wiesner is an extremely talented author. I will be watching for more of her books." ~ReviewYourBook.com
 
5 Stars! "The Incognito Series has been consistently one of the best thriller sagas on the market today. The fifth book will place newcomers UNDER THE SPELL of author Karen Wiesner (fans already are ensorcelled by this writer). The lead couple makes for a fast-paced plot as each realizes they still love the other, but neither trusts one another or their own heart. The espionage elements are cleverly designed to keep the audience and Gina struggling with the fact that Alex is certainly the traitor. As fans know, set aside the hours--this is a one-sitting espionage romantic thriller."  ~Harriet Klausner
 
4 1/2 Delightful Divas! “Oh boy. Just when I think I’ve figured out how Karen Wiesner’s next book in the Incognito Series is going to go, she throws me a curve ball, but that’s okay ‘cause I’m usually pretty happy to follow along. The people are so different in each story, and the circumstances are all so unique. It’s one of the things that I most enjoy about this author's stories. She did such a wonderful job bringing to life Alex and Justine. I could almost put myself into their memories and all that they were feeling and, as the story progressed, it just got better and better. They are people who excite my curiosity, incite my frustration—some more than others—and always have me completely absorbed by what is happening. The more I get to know, the more that I want to know." ~Kathy for Dark Diva Reviews
 
4.25 Stars! "UNDER THE SPELL is well written. I felt the emotional attachment of Justine and Alex was done well. UNDER THE SPELL offers plenty of passion along with being an interesting mystery/thriller." ~Night Owl Romance
 
4 Stars! "More book space is spent on the romance than on the mission this time around. But do not worry, there is danger, as well as the surprise or two which the author, Karen Wiesner, is fast becoming known for. Excellent!" ~Huntress Reviews
 
4 Delightful Divas! “The Incognito Series continues with Book5, UNDER THE SPELL. As with all the other books, I am blown away by the depth of the plot, the suspense, and the unbelievably real characters. Karen Wiesner has the Network and her characters down to an art. Justine returns home, to the ranch where she grew up, to investigate her father’s mysterious death. She meets up with Alex again, and it is obvious that neither of them have lost the love that they felt for the other. Their emotion was real, powerful, and I felt it to my core. This book seemed to have less action, but the suspense and twists and turns kept on coming. More than anything, I enjoyed the renewed love between Justine and Alex. If you haven’t read any of the Incognito Series, I recommend that you start with Book 1, even though each book can be read as a stand-alone.” ~Melissa for Dark Diva Reviews
 
4 Cups! "I loved this story. The action and the suspense had me guessing with every page. The clues are all there for the reader to easily see but yet it is not easy to figure out the ending. The agency that Justine/Gina works for is interesting and you never get the feeling you know exactly what they are all about. Ms. Wiesner has a flair for action and she proves it with this wonderful story. I look forward to reading the first books of this series and can only hope for more to come." ~Coffee Time Romance & More
 
"The agents in the Network are forced to give up so much--children, family, and friends--but in spite of their superiors, the Network's hard-nose rules, and their own self-restraint, they cannot help but long for a sense of normalcy. It is an intriguing premise that keeps going strong through each book, and UNDER THE SPELL is no exception. Justine left her father's ranch expecting a life filled with more freedom but, ironically, ended up in a different type of cage. I loved the contrast between the twenty-first century technology, the coldness that is so much a part of Justine's life as an agent in the Network, and the one at Triple Aces Ranch. Justine's old friends are hardworking, honest, and salt of the earth cowboys and women, and when readers contrast that with the people who make up the Network and its constant intrigues, where no one is ever really free to completely let down his guard, it is hard not to sympathize. Readers will love Alex Lynch, who has pined for Gina all these years but is not about to let her return to claim the ranch he loves. With plenty of chemistry between its hero and heroine, nice dialogue and suspense, I recommend UNDER THE SPELL. Love may not triumph over all, but can it find a small place in the lives of those who are most deserving?" ~Romance Reviews Today
 
“UNDER THE SPELL is aptly named, Gina/Justine and Alex fall hopelessly under each other’s spell. This is, not surprising, another great addition to a fantastic series. Although UNDER THE SPELL is part of a series, it reads wonderfully as a stand-alone, as with all of the books of this series. UNDER THE SPELL is more on the romantic side, but the suspense of the novel is not compromised because of it. I enjoyed this story and I know followers of this series will, too.” ~Joyfully Reviewed
 
"I really liked this book. I loved the characters. The romance aspect of this story was incredible. It was hot and spicy, and I found myself falling for Alex as well. I really enjoyed Justine’s character and felt that she was very believable. The ending is a big surprise; something that I would not have guessed...and was an added bonus of excitement." ~Front Street Reviews
 
"Once again Karen Wiesner draws the reader into the story with nonstop excitement and sexual tension. The story itself is super and the characters are electric. While I enjoyed Gina and Alex's story, I was left with an incomplete feeling. I wanted a nice ever after ending, but the Network storyline does not make that possible. The two lovers must steal the time they have together and keep it secret. I hope to read more about Gina and Alex in a future book of the series." ~Writers Unlimited
 
"UNDER THE SPELL is a romance that rises above the Chicago Network's uncompromising rule of no relationships within the organization. Karen Wiesner will surprise fans with this story in the series!" ~Rolling Seas Reviews
 
"The intriguing premise of this series, which is now up to book five, is based on characters renouncing their old life for a new life fighting crime. The Network demands duty before love, but love always wins out." ~RT Book Reviews
 
RENEGADE'S ROSE, Book 6
 
5 Stars and Top Pick! "Karen Wiesner is a talented author. Her Incognito Series demonstrates that talent. She has formed a fictitious organization and totally persuaded me that it could be real. Her characters are strong and yet vulnerable. Wiesner weaves characters from previous books in this series into this book. Hunter and Tanya's love story is superb reading. Fans of romance and suspense will enjoy RENEGADE'S ROSE." ~Readers' Favorite

5 Hearts and Sweetheart Award Finalist! "Karen Wiesner continues this series with a great romance and edge of your seat suspense with some surprising twists that seem to be the trademark of this series. She keeps me wanting more of these heroic men and women, so I can’t wait for the next in the series." ~The Romance Studio
 
5 Stars! “At first, I was angry that Hunter and Celine--mere children--were left by their parents to survive on their own, staying in shabby buildings, both cold and afraid with bombs going off throughout a foreign city. They’re rescued by a man from the Network--a covert government organization--and trained to become operatives. Many years later, Hunter has become as dangerous as those who killed his parents. I just loved this fast-paced, action-filled story. I liked that Hunter looked out for those who loves.” ~Linda's Reviews
 
5 Stars! “The action is front and center as the attraction takes a back seat to the failed mission and the aftermath to rescue Celine, bring Tanya and her children to safety, and take down the malevolent Black Pope. Fans of suspense thrillers will fully appreciate the latest Network escapades as Karen Wiesner takes a page from Maslow’s Hierarchy as safety comes before love.” ~Harriet Klausner
 
4 1/2 Delightful Divas! “Each book in the Incognito Series just gets better. As usual, Wiesner has provided us with loads of suspense and emotion. The twists and turns will make your head spin, and the emotional, very real characters will steal your heart. The power players in the Network have amazed me yet again with their foresight and ability to play puppet master with their operatives. I recommend this entire series to anyone who is looking for a new romantic suspense series. The books are long and intense and can all be read as stand-alone titles. However, I feel that a reader cannot truly appreciate the Network or the characters without reading each book in the series.” ~Melissa for Dark Diva Reviews
 
4.5 Stars! "Some twists took me totally by surprise. The story slows down a bit toward the middle, but this is necessary for the romance to begin and bloom. It also lets the author throw in an extra twist or two. Now if only Shannon, Angelo, and Lucy would get their own stories told." ~Huntress Reviews
 
4 Hearts! "Karen Wiesner is a talented storyteller. This tale was full of unexpected twist and turns. Her characters were multi-faceted and yet well defined. An enjoyable read I would recommend this for those who like a little intrigue mixed with their romance." ~Night Owl Romance
​
4 Angels! “I found the action and adventure of this tale to be top-notch and will continue to have this series at the top of my list.” ~Fallen Angel Reviews
 
4 Stars! “Wiesner has thrilled me with her story; the action, the character development and yet more of the Network’s mystique that is slowly being chipped away all combine to make RENEGADE’S ROSE an excellent chapter in Wiesner’s ever-intriguing and very beguiling Incognito Series. Now if only real life wouldn’t continue to get in my way I’d be a much happier reader-- then I could finally get the answers to the most puzzling bits to date, or at least get closer to discovering just how this is all going to come to a satisfactory conclusion!” ~Kathy for Dark Divas Reviews
 
Best Book (highest rating) and 2008 Long and Short Reviews’ Best Book of the Year Finalist!! "Reading RENEGADE'S ROSE was an exercise in tugged heartstrings, bitten nails from intense suspense, dry mouth from tension and excited elation at the best darned happily-ever-after (HEA) Karen's written yet in this series. In this story, I learned about Hunter's background and it was chilling, sad, and at times I felt a need to comfort the boy who became a man; never knowing love, the comfort of a loving mother's touch nor ever being told he mattered--that he was loved for himself. How could you not feel for this man? How could you not connect with this character? Karen had me all but crying at the injustice that befell him at such a tender age. That background is intrinsic for understanding the driving force behind his pursuit of the bad guys. Hunter is led to Tanya, another person who has had choices taken from her and who is forced to live a different kind of duty. Tanya is a character that I liked. As the story unfolds, you begin to marvel at how Karen's mind works because Tanya's duty is similar in nature to Hunter's. Karen gives us little teases and hints along the way until a major light bulb pops on and your jaw drops. I had NO idea that... Darn, if I say anything else about Tanya, it'll be a spoiler and I don't want to do that. I was floored when a major portion of the Network's chess game was revealed which affects her and Hunter's sister. On one of the last pages of the story there is a line, a phrase that refers to #2 Shannon McKee, and I wanted to give Karen a High Five for writing that. I'm all excited. Finally a character that says in the book exactly how I feel about Ms. McKee. Yes! Hunter and Tanya's relationship is touching and really awesome. It was passionate, desperate and an emotional roller-coaster. You, the reader, are in for a treat! If anyone can find a loophole, it's Angelo. Bless his chess master's heart! I am absolutely thrilled and I bet you will be too. You know what else I liked? Karen has Hunter, Celine, Angelo, and even McKee talking about Roan Emory [from DEAD DROP, Book 4]. It confirms for me that the HEA of Roan's story is intact and healthy. I appreciated that touch. Heck, even Justine's [from UNDER THE SPELL, Book 5] HEA is intact. What a wonderful and masterful handling of this series. I feel like these people are real and most certainly these books read better than any soap opera I ever suffered through. In my opinion, RENEGADE'S ROSE is the most romantic of the series and a sure fire pleaser for all those adrenaline lovers out there. Who needs coffee when you have the Incognito Series?" ~Long and Short Reviews
 
"Award-winning author Karen Wiesner is a master at her craft. As the Incognito Series unfolds, I am drawn deeper and deeper into the lives of the men and women of the Network. The ending to RENEGADE'S ROSE was unexpected and a complete surprise. I am anxious to see how Ms. Wiesner weaves the new philosophy at the Network into her future novels." ~Writers Unlimited
 
"RENEGADE'S ROSE is intriguing and suspenseful, and the most romantic and sensual out of all the stories. Hunter is passionate, capable of great love and loyalty. Tanya Kovac is not what she seems, all beauty, softness, and vulnerability; it is only as RENEGADE'S ROSE progresses that readers remember that roses, although renowned for their beauty, can survive in even the harshest climates. With plenty twists and turns, [the] two main characters need for each other sizzles. Ms. Wiesner is a skillful writer. I recommend RENEGADE'S ROSE for its multi-layered characters, romance, and hopeful tone." ~Romance Reviews Today
 
“RENEGADE’S ROSE is such a great story. The action and suspense that’s expected from this series is definitely there. I felt the same adrenaline rush and edge-of-my-seat anticipation with RENEGADE’S ROSE, as with the previous books, as well as strong emotions for the characters. Karen Wiesner does a great job with surprising her readers with the unexpected, and there are plenty of unexpected moments in this story. With the great writing, terrific characters and storyline, the romance aspect of the story is bonus. With the lives that Tanya and Hunter lived, I could not help but root for them to find some true happiness together. I really enjoyed RENEGADE’S ROSE and the entire Incognito Series.” ~Joyfully Reviewed
 
"This story was full of twists and turns and was nonstop excitement. I loved every minute of it and loved all the characters. Wiesner does a great job keeping her readers at the edge of their seat and makes it impossible to figure out what is going to happen next. Nothing in this story is predictable. I recommend this story to everyone. It can be read on its own, or with the rest of the books in her series." ~Front Street Reviews
 
UNDERCOVER ANGEL, Book 7
 
5 Stars and Featured Review! "Imagine the joy of discovering an author whose very own unique writing style combines the very best of Nora Roberts, Tom Clancy, Linda Howard, and Robert Ludlum by simply choosing to read a book that has a fabulous storyline. This actually happened to me! I have discovered a treasure trove of books written by gifted, innovative author Karen Wiesner, who has the skillful abilities to create a total story package of adventure, angst, betrayal, hardships, true love, and heroism all within the highly trained, talented and lethal warriors, both men and women, who encompass the very best of America’s elite warriors from all branches of the armed forces. UNDERCOVER ANGEL, Book 7 of the Incognito Series, is my first exposure to this author’s novels; however, it will not be my last. I am totally hooked on the premise of the storyline, I adore the characters, I am now officially addicted." ~Manic Readers
 
5 Angels and FAR Recommended Read Award! "UNDERCOVER ANGEL is the 7th book in the Incognito Series, and I am definitely going to find and read the first six! I couldn’t decide if I wanted Shannon to choose Ron or Roman. And I couldn’t quite figure out if Roman really was the bad guy in the whole situation. The history she obviously had with Ron pulled at me, but at the same time I wanted to root for the underdog, Roman. The relationship that I learned was between Shannon and her father was something that I knew she needed to work through in order to be able to love again and with Ron she is able to do that. On the other hand, Roman obviously needed someone to believe in him and help protect his kids. The relationship between Shannon and Roman’s children is very telling. UNDERCOVER ANGEL is a definite must read by this author." ~Fallen Angel Reviews
 
5 Hearts and Sweetheart Award Nominee! "Karen Wiesner continues this series with another excellent character study and edge-of-your-seat suspense. The author does a fantastic job interlacing the upheaval Shannon has in her personal life with her strength as an operative who is able to compartmentalize emotion while working on a complex task that calls for her to be intellectually sharp. The supportive personnel and dialogue involved in the story are also well developed. There are a lot of dynamics involved in keeping the tale action-packed and making this book the best in the series to date. Wiesner seems to just get better with each one." ~ The Romance Studio
 
5 Stars! "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!" ~Huntress Reviews
 
5 Stars! "The seventh Incognito thriller is a superb tale due to the characterizations that make the fast paced story line so much more exciting. Shannon and Ron are a fully developed couple with issues while Ortega is a complete adversary who shows a soft side as much as his tough exterior. UNDERCOVER ANGEL is a great entry in a consistently excellent series." ~Follow the Clue
 
5 Stars! “I pitied Shannon because she blamed herself for not being there for her little brother, who overdosed on drugs. Now she’s determined to avenge him. I liked Ron Blair from the beginning, who’s now under Shannon’s command. Back when he’d been her commanding officer as a SEAL, he never made it easy for her, in part because she had a lot to prove as a woman and because of her upbringing. Once they became lovers, he couldn't get enough of her. He followed her into the Network but their relationship became purely professional from that point on. Now she’s on a deadly mission to nail her enemy and Ron can’t help being afraid he’ll lose her for good. Every book in this series is so exciting, I can’t wait to get to the next one each time.” ~Linda's Reviews
 
4 1/2 Delightful Divas! “Karen Wiesner really knows how to keep this series going and maintaining the level of involvement that I experience. With each book I think, okay this is the best it’s going to be, and each and every time I end up eating my words. Good thing I’m enjoying the series so much or I may be in a lot of trouble. I’m constantly impressed at how each person whose story I’ve read is brought to life right in front of my eyes. Yet again, the extremely talented Wiesner has entranced me and even seven books into the series I’m still just as eager to learn, and read, the next book. Being able to keep readers captivated so far into a series is quite an accomplishment. This is an author who can continue not only the momentum over a series but also create the utmost need to know more. For me that is the hallmark of a superb storyteller. The Incognito Series is worth every page, every tear, every heart palpitation and every thrill contained therein.” ~Kathy for Dark Diva Reviews
 
4 1/2 Delightful Divas! “As I have said before, the books in this series just get better. This book gave me a personal satisfaction, which I have been waiting for since the first book. Throughout this series, I have been struck by the lives of the Network Operatives. They have given everything, including their freedom, to be an operative. With each book, the operatives find a way to get the personal relationships they needed in order to survive their lonely, dangerous lives. All the while, I am banging my head on the wall because Shannon McKee is so cold and relentless in her requirements of her operatives. When I read the blurb for UNDERCOVER ANGEL, I was excited and hopeful that I would actually get to see a human side to Shannon. I got more than I had hoped for in this book. This book is still excellent and I am very pleased with the outcome. Wiesner has quickly risen to the top of my list of authors to read. I haven’t read any of her books other than the Incognito Series, but after reading these, I look forward to enjoying more of her work. She is good at creating powerful and memorable characters, but even more, her plots are so complex and engrossing, I doubt I will forget them anytime soon.” ~Melissa for Dark Diva Reviews
 
4 1/2 Pixies! "The Incognito Series leaves readers eagerly anticipating the next installment. A masterful rendition of character is a hallmark of author Wiesner's many novels, as is a plot with more jumps and turns than a rampaging roller coaster, and tons of unexpected events and consequences. Readers on the edge of their seats will wonder what will happen next, as UNDERCOVER ANGEL unfolds with the speed of a riveting action film, and just as much detail in the settings. The reader will find herself sympathizing with Shannon--and many of the other characters." ~Dark Angel Reviews
 
4 1/2 Stars! "This seventh book in the Incognito Series is a winner. The plot is fast paced, intense and finishes with a satisfying bang. Shannon and Ron are an electrifying couple. Thoroughly entertaining!" ~RT Book Reviews
 
4 Stars! "UNDERCOVER ANGEL, like all of the Incognito Series, is a complex read. Karen Wiesner takes the reader on a journey into a secret organization. Shannon McGee is the second in command. She has high standards for those that work under her and higher standards for herself. Fans of the Incognito Series will want to rush to get the latest installment. UNDERCOVER ANGEL demonstrates the need for each person to have personal freedom. Shannon McGee is a multifaceted character. She strives to be strong and independent but, deep within, needs to be loved. The plot of the story flowed smoothly, capturing my attention and holding it. I am curious to see what Wiesner’s next adventure will be." ~ReviewYourBook.com
 
Best Book (highest rating) and Best Book of 2008 Nominee! "The Incognito Series has been many things: engrossing, riveting, heart-thumpingly suspenseful, fast paced and exciting--not to mention intensely passionate. Get ready for the next level in UNDERCOVER ANGEL! This book is one that I've been looking forward to for a long time. I'm never unaffected by the emotional twists and turns Wiesner's characters have to struggle through to reach their happily-ever-after. UNDERCOVER ANGEL succeeds in wringing a caring connection out of me for the very character I had come to think of as the enemy. How could the author make me care for a woman I'd come to revile? Prepare yourself ! My perceptions were blown away. I found myself rooting for Shannon with tears in my eyes. Wiesner has written a powerful story of a warrior, a patriot and a human being with strong convictions. I dare anyone to remain unmoved after reading it. If you've been following the Incognito Series, then this is a must read. I would advise readers to check out the previous books in the series because in doing so it will insure the same powerful impact on them as UNDERCOVER ANGEL has for me." ~Long And Short Reviews
 
“UNDERCOVER ANGEL is an excellent story. I loved every minute of reading and hung on to every word. The pain of being abandoned by someone you love is tough to deal with, yet Ms. Wiesner has made the character of Shannon tough enough to deal with it. Finding love even though you are scared is another aspect of the story that I enjoyed. Ms. Wiesner's Incognito Series just keeps getting better with every book.” ~Coffee Time Reviews
 
"UNDERCOVER ANGEL is a wonderful story of a woman's personal growth and the complete understanding of her by a very astute man. Karen Wiesner is a total master when it comes to developing her characters. She takes a character you want to dislike, Shannon McKee, and then makes the reader care about her as the character grows and comes to fully understand herself and her own motives. Shannon becomes strong enough to admit when she is wrong and takes steps to change it. Ron Blair is the strongest character in the book because he is insightful enough to know that Shannon has to grow and come to know herself before she can be the woman he needs. He is kind, loving, patient and extremely intelligent. He is definitely the type of man all women are looking for." ~Writers Unlimited
 
"I found this story to be one of my favorite in the series. It was amazing, exciting, nail biting, and romantic. I loved every word of it! The ending of this book is absolutely amazing and I assure you that you will never see it coming. I wish this story would have gone on forever and ever. I fell in love with the characters. I cannot wait to see what Book 8 will bring." ~Front Street Reviews
 
“UNDERCOVER ANGEL is another edition of the Incognito Series that played on my emotions as well as kept me on edge with the suspense, drama and the adrenaline rush these stories exemplify. What I love about this series are the strong women characters Wiesner creates and Shannon is one of her best.” ~Joyfully Reviewed 
 
HARD TO HANDLE, Book 8
 
5 Hearts, 2009 The Romance Studio CAPA Award Nominee, and Sweetheart Award Nominee! "Karen Wiesner seems to keep getting better and better as this series continues. The author and I seem to be in complete sync. This was a novel I found hard to put down. It pulled me in on the first page and didn't let me go. I'm looking forward to Book 9 with high hopes from what I've seen so far." ~The Romance Studio
 
5 Books! "HARD TO HANDLE has the harshest topic and the most emotionally charged storyline yet of the Incognito Series to date. Wiesner is known for her dexterity, respectful yet hard-hitting storytelling, and it's alive and well in this installment. The romance between the two lead characters heals in ways very unique to the talents that Wiesner brings to each and every book she writes. As you expect from the Incognito Series, this book continues the tradition of fast-paced writing, logical plot development, strong characters with vulnerable hearts that fall in love despite a forbidding environment, dialogue that puts you right in the thick of things and bad guys that make you want to toss your cookies. HARD TO HANDLE will grip you, make you think, make you feel and, in the final touching scenes, make you believe that love really can conquer all." ~Long and Short Reviews
 
5 Stars! “Romantic suspense at its finest. HARD TO HANDLE is the best book in this series. The action was heart-stopping. The characters have depth. Karen Wiesner just keeps getting better. Fans of romantic suspense, do not miss HARD TO HANDLE.” ~ReviewYourBook.com
 
5 Angels! "HARD TO HANDLE is the eighth book in the Incognito Series by author Karen Wiesner. It was great to read Nova’s (aka Piper Laslow) story--she first made an appearance in NO ORDINARY LOVE, the first book in the series. This story is packed with suspense, action and intrigue that prevents the reader from putting it down. Nova and Dez are enchanting, full bodied characters with plenty of passion between them and danger around them. Ms. Wiesner has penned another great saga in the Incognito Series, and I’m looking forward to the next." ~Fallen Angel Reviews
 
5 Stars! “I struggled with the violence done to the heroine as a child by her father early in the book. Thankfully her mother saved her as soon as she found out. But now, all grown up, Nova Granger is part of the Network and working undercover in a sex trafficking ring. No surprise when she breaks her cover to go after the criminals on her own…which almost destroys the Network’s ultimate mission. Nova is a strong agent, but she needs a firm hand and discipline to learn how to behave until she can get her revenge. I liked Dez Luttino, assigned to mentor this hard to handle agent. Nova is the only woman who jumpstarts his heart. He also had a sad past, discarded when he was a child. My emotions were all over the place and I cried a bucket of tears while read this heart-wrenching book.” ~Linda's Reviews
 
5 Stars! "The eighth Incognito thriller is an exciting romantic suspense tale that digs deep inside the soul of an adult who suffered a childhood trauma that never left her and impacts her adult relationships. Filled with plenty of action, the story line is somewhat different than the previous magnificent seven due to Nova who brings plenty of psychological baggage with her on the mission. Karen Wiesner writes an excellent entry filled with angst and action." ~Genre Go Round Reviews
 
4 1/2 Delightful Divas! “Wiesner continues to make each book as good, if not better, than the previous. I am fully invested in each of these characters and the Network. The author has made this world an alternate reality for me and I can actually imagine a covert agency such as this existing. If you are looking for a well-written, fast-paced romantic suspense novel, then I recommend the entire Incognito Series to you. Each book can be read as a standalone title, but why would you want to miss out on any of this series? My recommendation is to read every single one of these books in order, just because of their depth and the attachments you will form with the characters. They are full-length books, a few even more so, but all of them pass so quickly, you will find yourself amazed that you have read nearly 300 pages in no time and disappointed because you want more!” ~Melissa for Dark Diva Reviews
 
4 1/2 Delightful Divas! “Wiesner has given me more than I could have hoped for with this story. The conclusion of HARD TO HANDLE was everything and more that I could have wanted, and once again, the scope of knowledge displayed by those high up in the Network is mind-boggling, but it totally makes sense. Now I'm off to read book Book 9!” ~Kathy for Dark Diva Reviews
 
4 Stars! “Author Karen Wiesner tackles two difficult subjects and opens the eyes of readers to the uglier sides of the world. I strongly urge anyone who has personal ties to either subject NOT to read this book. However, I feel everyone else should. Unless people are made aware of what is still happening (all too often), it will continue and worsen. I applaud this author for researching two very dark and nightmarish topics and then dragging them into the light for all to see. I found this story to be complex, emotionally intense, and totally unforgettable. In a word, "Wow!"” ~Huntress Reviews
 
"Having read the previous seven books in the series, it came as no shock that this book lived up to its expected potential. Wiesner has once again given her readers a fantastic story filled with action and romance so her readers become putty in her hands. The story had me at the edge of my seat the entire time." ~Front Street Reviews
 
"HARD TO HANDLE: Book 8 of the Incognito Series is a story with a little bit of everything from drama and romance to action and suspense. It was a thrill to read it from beginning to end with many twists and turns thrown into it." ~TCM Reviews
 
"This is a very suspenseful story with interesting characters and a lot of action. The author provides a very good organizational chart and describes the workings of the agency well. The main plot was pretty engrossing, as was the subplot of the enslaved girls, and I liked how it was all tied together in the end." ~Coffee Time Romance & More
 
"Karen Wiesner penned the perfect title for her latest novel in the Incognito Series because the main character, Nova Granger, is one operative who is definitely hard to handle. I like Nova Granger because she is willing to defy her superiors and follow her heart to do what she knows was right. Nova overcomes her personal demons brought about by her own father and uses her determination and instincts to protect children. She also overcomes her aversion to men to find a great love. Once again Karen Wiesner has showed her undeniable skill in creating characters who tug on the reader’s heartstrings." ~Writers Unlimited
 
"The eighth Incognito book opens with plenty of action. Interesting characters and expertly written action scenes will keep your attention and pique interest for the next book." ~RT Book Reviews
 
"I enjoyed this book and felt the author dealt with the subject of sexual abuse of a child in a frank manner. Some readers may object to the amount of detail in the scenes but she didn't glorify the abuse. She used the amount of detail in the scenes to explain why Nova became the woman she is today. I liked that Dez was patient and was prepared to let her lead the pace so that she could see that love could be a beautiful thing." ~WRDF Review
 
DANCE IN SHADOWS, Book 9
 
5 Delightful Divas and Book of the Month Nominee! "DANCE IN SHADOWS gave me even more than I had hoped for in this installment of the series. I got to meet Angelo, up close and in person, and he was a more satisfying character than I could have imagined. The relationship between Angelo and Celine was emotional. The ending only leaves me with more anticipation for the next book in the series. I can't wait to read about it. This is, by far, the best book of the Incognito Series yet!" ~Melissa for Dark Diva Reviews
 
5 Hearts and Sweetheart Award Nominee! “Karen Wiesner continues this excellent series about the heroes and heroines of the Network. The author digs down deep into the personalities involved. This is another superb job done by Wiesner. The characters and their lives come alive.” ~The Romance Studio
 
5 Books! “Wiesner has the knack for taking what you think you know and leading you on a bit until you are complacent, then she rips the rug right out from under you. This book’s strength is the personalities of Celine and Angelo, their dialogue and interaction and the emotions that grip a reader from chapter to chapter. This story is compelling and engrossing yet nothing good comes easy. Throw in a few enemies determined to destroy them both and you have effective tension and suspense to keep your eyes glued to the page while you ask yourself, ‘What can possibly happen next?’ Only Wiesner knows, and I eagerly look forward to the next gripping tale from her talented mind.” ~Long and Short Reviews
 
5 Stars! "Wiesner brings out the human quality of each of her agents in this series with a talent for taking readers on a thrill ride into, danger, intrigue, and romance." ~ReviewYourBook.com
 
5 Stars! “This book can only be understood within the scope of what’s already been established in the world of the Network in Books 1-8. Celine and her brother were forced to join when they were just children--to keep them safe. While Hunter was trained to be an operative, she was given the education to become a doctor of the highest caliber. Ultimately, Celine has had no choices of her own, ever. The one thing she wanted once she grew up was Angelo, but protecting her has to be his first priority. He has enemies everywhere and those enemies will stop at nothing to destroy him, starting with those he loves. Those wanting to take him down have already proven once before that nothing he holds dear is safe when his family was killed without mercy. He’s had has to live with his failure to protect them for 30 years. While the Network taboo of relationships has relented somewhat, the agents don’t really have freedom in a covert organization like this. Certainly nothing like they could have in the real world. Celine is deeply aware of this and the life she longs for is a utopia she knows can never be. Angelo was smart to protect her the way he tried so hard to, but once he understood the depth of her misery and unwillingness to live her life in a cage anymore, there was only one course: To make her harder and tougher, able to withstand the limited lives they’re forced to endure as Network operatives. If she can do that, maybe they can find what happiness is possible together. But, at the end of the day, they’re Network operatives with lives filled with danger at all times. Finding out whether they’re both up to doing a terrifying job like this and making a life together kept me in suspense at all times. I can’t wait to see which Network operatives will take center stage next in the series with Book 10!” ~Linda's Reviews
 
5 Stars! "The ninth Incognito romantic suspense thriller is a great entry in a super saga. Angelo and Celine are a fabulous pairing as each is attracted to one another, but hide it for differing reasons (besides what is described above). Besides the enemy neither wants to face the wrath of their boss Shannon. Filled with action and sexual tension, fans will enjoy the lead couple as they DANCE IN SHADOWS rather than with the stars." ~Genre Go Round Reviews
 
4 1/2 Stars and Top Pick! "Wiesner writes with passion, and book nine of her Incognito series is one of her most passionate to date. It's a story about the power of love and how it can destroy--and heal. It shows how two individuals can overcome any obstacles and be stronger together. There's also plenty of intrigue to keep you turning the pages." ~RT Book Reviews
 
4 ½ Delightful Divas! “Once again Karen Wiesner has woven a tale of intrigue and romance. With her consummate skill, she made everything so immediate and visceral that it was like being there, if not one of the participants. I could feel the pain that Celine was going through; her doubts and the fears were mine. Wiesner had a few tricks up her sleeve that completely took me by surprise. And once again I’m left barely able to figure out just what train went through here. But I sincerely had the ride of my life!” ~Kathy for Dark Diva Reviews
 
4 Stars! “People often forget that those in the medical profession are just as susceptible to depression as the rest of the world. In fact, people in the emergency fields (law, medical, fire, military, etc.) see and deal with a lot more of the world's uglier sides. If anything, they would be even more susceptible to depression than the rest of the public. I am glad the author chose Celine to represent this. There are also other events going on within the story that I omitted from my synopsis for fear of revealing spoilers. As you read, be ready for some twists and surprises. This is an excellent addition to the Incognito Series. I eagerly look forward to the next exciting episode.” ~Huntress Reviews
 
4 Cups! “The two main characters in this story are vividly written with their fair share of human flaws and more. Celine is trapped in a life she never chose and in love with a man who tortures her with mixed signals. The gifts he gives her over the years are a prime example, and I cannot fault her for believing he is interested. The suicide attempt and its aftermath are described very well and with accurate details. The rest of the story is full of romance, hope and a great deal of excitement and suspense. This is an excellent addition to a very good series.” ~Coffee Time Romance & More
 
“This book was absolutely fantastic, exceptional like the rest of Wiesner’s work, with an added bonus of surprise. We do find out some surprising insider information about Giles Jameson and R.E.D. (the terrorist group). I personally love Angelo’s history and how Ms. Wiesner tells his story and why he’s so oxymoronic. It was a great read, once again, and although I will forever love Roan Emory’s story (DEAD DROP, Book 4) more than anyone else’s, this definitely comes in a close second.”” ~TCM Reviews
 
"Having read the eight books in the series that led up to this one, it never ceases to amaze me the creative ideas Karen Wiesner comes up with. This series has been full of excitement and never-ending drama. I love the passionate romance that goes on between the main characters of each book as much as I enjoy reading about their unique situations and places among the Network chain of command. Wiesner once again holds nothing back with her skilled knack for hitting her readers right in their hearts with love so fierce it loves your breathless. Her character descriptions are amazing. You cannot help but admire each and every one of them." ~Front Street Reviews
 
“As the reader gets into DANCE IN SHADOWS, the reality of the loving bond between Angelo and Celine becomes clear, and we see Celine displaying intelligence, resourcefulness, and courage. In the final chapters, as the danger and suspense ramp up, she does what one might be tempted to scream at a heroine for--charging into a life-threatening situation she's not really trained for when she was quite reasonably told not to. However, the author managed to make her choices believable and not looking totally harebrained. I like the ending, with a compromise being reached, and I was impressed by the apparent research on the tech details. In the rescue scenes at the climax, the James-Bondish material is very convincing, IMO.” ~author Margaret L. Carter
 
HYPNOTIZED, Book 10
 
5 Books! "Emotional investment and sympathy for the heroine grips and twists your heart as early as the opening scene. The build-up of suspense during the tale kept me turning the pages. Dialogue is crisp, fast-moving and authentic-sounding. My adrenaline was pumping when the plot picked up speed and raced towards the exciting battle and its pivotal outcome. As I’ve come to expect, Wiesner’s grasp of the perfect kind of HEA for each of her characters’ personalities and situations is spot on. HYPNOTIZED kept me riveted, emotionally invested and entertained all the while expecting and getting a well-rounded, expertly told tale. It’s adventure from the comfort of your couch.” ~Long and Short Reviews
 
5 Delightful Divas! “Wiesner does a very good job at taking damaged people and making them believable and likable regardless of any negatives we know about them and it’s due entirely to her ability to get below the surface so that we really know these people. HYPNOTIZED has some very surprising elements and the author's mastery of twists and turns once again guarantees a book that will keep you fixed on the story. You really don’t want to miss a thing. Each story is so unique and so very much its own that I’m still rather awe-struck.” ~Kathy for Dark Diva Reviews
 
5 Stars and Reviewer's Top Pick! "Karen Wiesner is a master at combining espionage and romance. Her stories in this series are part thriller and strong on the romance. The plot moves along at a swift pace. The suspense quickly builds to the climatic ending. Fans of romance, suspense, mystery and spies will enjoy this series." ~Readers' Favorite
 
5 Stars! “I fell in love with Rhiannon and Noah and their story. My heart broke for Rhi. In the Network, feelings aren’t supposed to be involved, but how do you suppress feeling unloved, especially by the man you’re in love with? Her issues started long before she joined the covert organization with her twin sister’s cruel games culminating in a kidnapping of her twin that their parents never forgave Rhiannon for. “Noah’s every waking thought is of Rhiannon, but after she was kidnapped by the enemy on a mutual mission, his own injuries prevented him from getting to her in time. Still, that was the job and they both knew the mission took precedence, always. Despite that, Rhi refuses to forgive him and pushes him away at every turn. Without a choice, Noah cares for her in the only way he knows how, the only way he’s allowed given that the Network has forbidden relationships. HYPNOTIZED was an excellent story. I’m eager to get started on MIND GAMES, Book 11.” ~Linda's Reviews
 
5 Stars! "The latest Incognito romantic suspense is a terrific, action-packed thriller starring two super protagonists. The irony of the assignment enhances the fast-paced plot as Rhiannon does the undercover masquerade job because she is a strong, dedicated individual; her preference [for a partner] would be anyone but the man she loves. Ironically, Noah, the brute, wants her but his values make it impossible for him to go after her as he feels that it is inappropriate for a superior officer to make love with a subordinate even if he cherishes her above his own life. All this passion is inside a strong rescue mission as Karen Wiesner provides her tenth Incognito winner." ~Genre Go Round Reviews
 
4 1/2 Delightful Divas! “I've read each and every book in this series, and I have to tell you that they are all fantastic. They can be read as stand-alone titles, but why would you want to when you would miss out on so much? Nothing ever seems to happen just the way I think it will in this series—which makes for excellent books filled with suspense and adventure. If you have never read one of the Incognito Series books, then I highly recommend that you read them, but start with the first book. I promise you won't be disappointed! Wiesner has once again created a complex, well-written plot, with realistic, well-developed characters. She is a master at writing. I'm thoroughly invested in the story, series and people involved.” ~Melissa for Dark Diva Reviews
 
4 Cups! "Rhiannon is a woman with a tortured past, one that predates even her work within the Network. Noah had a loveless childhood with parents who did not coddle him, but did not show any affection either, which led him on a path similar to how he was raised. The twists and turns of this suspenseful novel grip the reader and will keep anyone guessing. The storyline kept me coming back for more and the action-packed ending was very fulfilling and definitely left me with a smile on my face." ~Coffee Time Romance & More
 
4 Stars! “Wiesner continues her Incognito Series with book 10, which focuses on Noah and Rhiannon, a couple with a complicated, passionate history. This story offers everything readers have come to expect from this series of late: intense relationships, emotionally charged situations and covert operations.” ~RT Book Reviews
 
4 Stars! “This story is still full of the romantic suspense which the series is well known for, but it also includes some paranormal elements. This adds a spicy zing to the story's flavor, which intrigues me to no end. If you are looking for story with engaging characters, as well as romance and suspense, look no further than this story by Karen Wiesner.” ~Huntress Reviews
 
You Gotta Read (highest rating)! "Having read a few of the Incognito Series by Wiesner, I applaud her ability to keep up the suspense all the way through book ten. Noah and Rhiannon's story doesn't disappoint with non-stop tension. An absolute pleasure to read." ~You Gotta Read Reviews
 
“The sizzling sexual tension between operatives Rhiannon and Noah keeps the pressure up for the entire book, with a surprising sting at the end. The plot winds around and around with relationship ups and downs between the two main characters and the people they work with. Nice descriptions, good character building and great pace.” ~Between the Lines Reviews
 
MIND GAMES, Book 11
 
5 Books and Book of the Week Nominee! “As I’ve come to expect from Ms. Wiesner, this eleventh book in the Incognito Series remains strong in elements of surprise, freshness and excitement. The far-reaching plot was another masterful handling of intricate detail and creative villainy. I thought I had it all figured out; right until the last shots were fired. I just sat there stunned. Strong and well written, MIND GAMES continues the premier legacy of writing that Wiesner has imbued all her books with. This reader enjoyed well developed characters, amazing thought twisting intrigue, absolutely wonderful romance and emotion, and sensual and passionate scenes. I read the story in one sitting.” ~Long and Short Reviews
 
5 Delightful Divas! “Wow! Okay, once again I’m feeling gob-smacked after reading one of Karen Wiesner’s Incognito books. The author has a serpentine imagination! Frankly, it’s no wonder that the series has, even after eleven books, stayed so incredibly intriguing and even breath-stealing. I don’t have the words to describe my feelings when I realized just where she had taken us. If you want to know, you’re going to have to read the book for yourself. Of course if you’re smart—and if you’re reading Wiesner’s books I’d have to say you’re smart indeed—then you’ll work through the series just as I did. Even after this many books, I'm not at all sure just where Karen Wiesner is going to take us with the last book in the series. I'm on tenterhooks yet again.” ~Kathy for Dark Diva Reviews
 
5 Stars! “I was totally captivated by MIND GAMES, so much so that I couldn’t sleep because I wanted to find out what would happen. A home invasion when Jocelyn was a child took her father’s life and her mom was never right after that. Because it was the only way to move on with her life, Jocelyn did things she regretted in order to secure her own freedom from her mother’s suffocating grasp. Out of the frying pan and into the fire: She met Chase when she was young. I couldn’t help but be sympathetic toward their relationship. In that case, his parents were obscenely controlling. Eventually, they separated. I was elated when they found each other again. But Jocelyn had learned how to take control of her own life…and Chase endured it for as long as he could. Years later, a deadly illness drives her back into his arms. I love that Chase never really gave up on her. MIND GAMES was a touching novel that went straight to my heart.” ~Linda's Reviews
 
5 Stars! “As always with this powerful saga, the story line is fast-paced but extremely complicated as Karen Wiesner moves forward her overarching theme with several interrelated subplots.” ~Harriet Klausner
 
4.25 Stars! “I love mystery/suspense romances. They give you just enough of everything to keep you reading. MIND GAMES is a very good example of knowing how to measure everything out so you are never bored or getting too much of one thing. Chase and Jocelyn's relationship is a very big selling point of the book for me. I love how they are written. At first Karen Wiesner kind of makes it sound like they don't belong together, but the more you read and find out the more you realize it’s not them personally that don't belong together. They do in fact complement one another very well. It's their families and sometimes their lives in general that has made it hard for them to get along. Also, in my opinion, nothing can rekindle a romance like a mystery, to show you where you true loyalties actually lie!” ~Once Upon A Romance
 
4 Stars! "MIND GAMES proves to be just as suspenseful as the other books in the series. The plot is filled with mystery, suspense, romance, betrayals and unexpected twists. The men and women of the Network sacrifice their identities at all costs. I suggest reading these books in order. Although they do stand well alone, it is better to learn about the Network from the beginning. Karen Wiesner continues to prove she is the master of mystery with her Incognito Series!" ~Readers' Favorite
 
4 Stars! “With only one more title left in this riveting series, author Karen Wiesner is pulling out the big guns to tempt her readers. While reading each story of the series, I have come across the character of Jocelyn more than once. I, too, believed Jocelyn to be hard and uncaring. This story finally tells readers why Jocelyn seems to function as a robot. It explains the various responsibilities her job title entails and the horrible choices she is forced (all too often) to make. Yet the author has succeeded in making Jocelyn HUMAN. The character of Chase is a good example of a flawed hero. In light of his revealed background, his wariness of others is totally understandable. Readers need to be ready for the unexpected as this story unfolds. Complex situations, combined with numerous multi-layered plots, create an intricate tale of mystery, lies, betrayals, and a second chance at love. Karen Wiesner writes drama at its finest!” ~Huntress Reviews
 
“Following a strong opening scene in MIND GAMES, bits of backstory were woven into an intense present-time situation. The suspense was built up very effectively in the later part of the book, and the answers to the questions (who and why) were never obvious in advance. Chase is very similar to a gothic figure, in which he's believably cast as both hero and villain. Jocelyn's fear when alone at the cabin made for an intense reading experience. Her plight, especially her unsureness of her own sanity, made the reader also wonder about the reliability of her perceptions. For a while I wondered how the author could pull off a happy ending, but the solution presented works. Well done." ~author Margaret L. Carter
 
DARK APPROACH, Book 12
 
5 Books and Best Book Nominee! “The Incognito Series ends with a hard-hitting, gritty yet cautiously optimistic bent that delivers exactly what readers have come to expect from the talented Wiesner. With the high caliber of her writing, she painstakingly sets a reader up for what's about to happen. The conflict, plot and delivery were well thought out and executed, and the drama once again kept me on the edge of my seat. DARK APPROACH is the end of a series that never became complacent, stale or predictable. I’ve followed this series from book one. The Incognito Series was a wild and intense ride all the way through with some powerfully awesome and stellar writing to make it all come together in a memorable fashion. Thank you, Ms. Wiesner, for a truly riveting and entertaining reading experience. It was the best.” ~Long and Short Reviews
 
5 Hearts and Sweetheart Award Nominee! “Karen Wiesner wraps up this excellent series with another thriller. A fan since the first book, I’ve always found it hard to believe she could keep this as exciting as she has throughout. This one is as good as the eleven installments that came before it. Character building excels. This book will grab you and refuse to be put down from first page to last. A sense of impending doom keeps the suspense heightened throughout. If you enjoy suspense with a love story, any of the books in this series is a winner. I'm sorry to see them end but this finale couldn't be any better.” ~The Romance Studio
 
5 Delightful Divas! “The tension throughout DARK APPROACH was on-the-edge-of-my-seat thrilling, and I honestly didn’t know which way things were going, or how they’d work out. I think that’s one element about Karen Wiesner’s books that really keeps me hooked: even knowing these are romances, I was just never totally sure that things were going to work out. Wiesner is a master at getting the reader connected and involved. If you are a fan of intrigue and mystery combined with romance; if you enjoy a story that is tinged with darkness and if you enjoy the unexpected, then I strongly recommend Karen Wiesner’s Incognito Series. And now, with all twelve stories available—no waiting—this would be the perfect opportunity. They are incredibly intense, emotionally as well as story and character-wise. But they are fantastically satisfying and, while not your typical romances, they’re riveting, compelling and ultimately re-readable. Wow, they're definitely a wonderful addition to my bookshelves. Ms. Wiesner, thank you!” ~Kathy for Dark Diva Reviews
 
5 Stars! “I loved this book. The heroine essentially grew up in the Network, but with so few choices and seeing how things could be if she and her boyfriend Vic could make their own decisions, she was like a rebellious teenager--a dangerous thing to be in such an organization. Vic and Angelo were constantly trying to protect her and keep her safe, often times from her own reckless behavior. Unfortunately, neither of them anticipated just what lengths she’d go to in order to gain freedom. My heart went out to Vic. He loved Lucy so much, he would have done anything to make her happy. He literally couldn’t and wouldn’t live without her. That’s how unconditional his love and loyalty were. Lucy desire to be free of the Network, free to start a family of their own, put the organization and their own lives in jeopardy. The Network tends to be merciless, expecting their operatives to be more than human, never making foolish decisions--not exactly realistic. I cried buckets full of tears about how this story might end. How could there be a happily ever after? But readers won’t be disappointed with this final offering in the series.” ~Linda's Reviews
 
5 Stars! “This is an incredible finish to a strong saga as the key threads are tied up in an intriguing ending. Fast-paced from the onset, fans of the long running Incognito Series will appreciate the final confrontation as Karen Wiesner pulls off a terrific twist. DARK APPROACH climaxes the dozen super thrillers with a great curtain call." ~Merry Go Round Reviews
 
4 Stars and 2011 Reviewer’s Choice Award Nominee! “The final book of the Incognito Series is spellbinding. Readers won’t be able to put it down until the last word has been read. As Wiesner revisits the Network, the world’s most covert organization, she has definitely saved the best for last. The cat-and-mouse game that plays out is absolutely fantastic. The reader never knows from one page to the next which characters are good or evil. Not only is the adventure A-plus, but the romance between Vic and Lucy is enchanting.” ~RT Book Reviews
 
4 Stars! “This is the long awaited conclusion and the perfect way to end the Incognito Series. Karen Wiesner keeps her complex characters true to their separate personalities, while giving her readers a suspenseful romance that will keep them breathless. I look forward, very eagerly, to seeing what this author comes up with next.” ~Huntress Reviews

4 Stars! “For those who have followed the series from book one, I know you have been awaiting this final chapter involving the Network. This is a cat and mouse tale to the very end that is sure to delight the readers of this excellent series. As usual, this book is filled with suspense, thrills, and romance. I’m more than a little sad to see this series come to an end.” ~Readers' Favorite

“I must say, for most of DARK APPROACH, I had trouble imagining how in the world the author could ever pull off a happy ending for these characters. I'm glad the series as a whole also wrapped up with a potential good resolution for all the characters in the previous eleven stories, providing a satisfying and believable conclusion to the long running saga of Network operatives forced to love in the shadows as they gave their whole lives to the organization’s lofty goals.” ~author Margaret L.
