Incognito Series, Book 1: No Ordinary Love (Incognito Contemporary Intrigue/Espionage Romance Series) Kindle Edition

by Karen Wiesner (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.2 out of 5 stars 7 ratings
Men and women who have sacrificed their personal identities to live in the shadows and uphold justice for all--no matter the cost.

A woman without a past. A man without explanations.

Their love has no beginning. No end...? Kira Gunn, 25-year-old wunderkind, remembers nothing about her life before 31-year-old Vincent Carson. He's been her guardian, her protector, her business partner and her passion for 15 years, yet he remains an enigma who seems to exist solely to give her everything she wants and needs. Who is he? Where did he come from? Who is she and where did she come from? The vague nightmares she's had as long as she can remember--gunshots, utter terror and the gentle eyes of salvation--and Vincent's tender resistance to help her discover the answers of her uncertain past are taking its toll on her body, her heart and her soul. How can she trust a man whose past is as gray as her own? But how can she leave Vincent, the only home she's ever known? For he is her salvation.

The love they share is no ordinary love...

Kira has become the sole reason for Vincent's existence since the moment her vulnerable, trusting child eyes met his own. As Kira struggles with unseen demons, Vincent fiercely guards the truth, even as his own heart takes the wounds of her battle. She wants the one thing he can never give her. To seek out the truth of her past would be to put both of their lives in danger...and could mean losing the only thing in the world that matters to Vincent--Kira's love.

5 Stars! "This is the first book in the Incognito Series. Ifound it to be a very solid foundation for what could very well turn out to beone of the best romantic suspense novels of the year. It overflows in actionand drama, with just the right amount of romance. Outstanding!" ~HuntressReviews

5 Cups! "NO ORDINARY LOVE is no ordinary book. Vincent andKira are transcendent characters, almost larger than life, yet very human intheir flaws and frailties. Love burns bright between them, but for Kira it istarnished with fear, and for Vincent intertwined with duty. Can they possiblyescape this baggage and build a real relationship? This is a page turner, taut,nail-biting thriller interwoven with a poignant, powerful romance. It is trulya book I could not put down. There are some spicy love scenes, but emotions faroutweigh lust. My need to learn who actually are the good guys and the baddrove me to turn page after page. Revelations came just often enough to keep meoff balance until the end, which is happy in spite of all the angst to getthere. My recommendation? Buy it. Read it. Soon!" ~Coffee TimeRomance


5 Angels! "NO ORDINARY LOVE is the first book in theIncognito Series. This fantastic, action packed story is one that I will bekeeping in my favorites file. These well described and highly developedcharacters have such an emotional bond between them that it brought tears to myeyes many times while reading this tale. NO ORDINARY LOVE has a lot going on asit lays the foundation for the series and details the mysterious organization,the Network. This story for me was one that I didn't want to put down and whenI absolutely had to, it kept calling my name until I could get back to it.Karen Wiesner has got herself a new fan with this captivating and enchantingbook and I can't wait to read what else she has in store from theNetwork." ~Fallen Angel Reviews

    4.0 out of 5 stars No Ordinary Book
    Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2016
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    ‘No Ordinary Love’ is the title, and that is exactly what it is. It certainly describes the relationship between Kira and Vincent, if, indeed, ‘love’ is what these two odd people share. It is immediately apparent that the bond between them is very deep, very strong, and very complex. But is it love? The first six chapters of the book are taken up with outlining their relationship insofar as the secretive Vincent and the confused Kira can explain it, and we are no nearer an answer.
    From Vincent’s perspective [and being male, I can speak with some authority here] it looks at first more like obsession, even monomania. From Kira’s perspective [and I speak with far less authority on this one] it appears to be ---- well, I really do not know. Nor, come to that, does Kira. Only much later do matters become clearer in her mind.
    The tale is billed as ‘romance, adventure, mystery’, and it is all of these. Romantic, a roller-coaster adventure, and mystery piled upon mystery. Who is Kira, really? She does not know, remembering nothing before the age of ten. If Vincent knows, he will not say. And who, exactly is Vincent? If that is his name. And why would he dedicate his life to the protection of a woman who is not his sister, or his daughter, or his wife, or even his lover? All we can be sure of is that ‘The Network’ is behind it all. What the Network really is remains a mystery, save only that it is monumental, multinational, and has resources and technologies greater than those owned by most nations. What is real purpose? This is never clearly stated. All we can know for sure is that if it became aware of Kira’s existence, then she would live only as long as she remained undiscovered.
    This compulsive reading. Wiesner weaves her tale skilfully, revealing little titbits of information excruciatingly slowly, luring the reader deeper and deeper into the lives – life, I should say – of the two protagonists. Once you start, it is difficult to put down. The prose reflects the pace of events, at times slowing, at times quickening into shorter sentences, becoming at times frantic, almost chaotic, precisely as are the thoughts and actions of Kira and Vincent. There are still a lot of unanswered questions come the finale, but these will no doubt be addressed in ‘ ‘Til Death Do Us Part.’’
    Karen Wiesner has an impressive array of writing awards to her credit. It is easy to see why.
    Definitely four stars.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Romantic Suspense with Nonstop Tension
    Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2022
    Format: Paperback
    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, whom 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. Sure, the Network seems a little farfetched, but one doesn't look for mundane realism in a spy-themed romantic suspense story. :)

    5.0 out of 5 stars No Ordinary Love
    Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2008
    Fifteen years and Vincent Carson - that is all that Kira Gunn knew
    about her life. She was twenty-five years old, but she couldn't
    remember anything before that day when sixteen-year-old Vincent
    rescued her. She didn't know her true name, who her parents were, or
    where she was from.

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

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

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

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