I really do love all of Janet Evanovich books. They are quirky, fun and over the top. This unlikely duo eventually gets the job done but its the chaos that happens in between.

The Bounty by Janet Evanovich and Steve Hamilton continues with the adventures of FBI agent Kate O'Hare and handsome hunk/criminal Nick Fox as they search for billions of dollars in Nazi gold. Kate and Nick, along with their fathers and a Germanic language professor, use a stolen map, decipher clues and travel to jaw-dropping locations to find the gold....all while being chased by members of the dangerous Brotherhood. This is a fun adventure, and the imagination of Evanovich and Hamilton keeps the reader highly entertained.

Janet Evanovich is incapable of writing a bad story and that's the truth as I see it. This is Book #7 in the Fox & O'Hare series. Each book can definitely be read and enjoyed as a stand alone, but why deprive yourself of so much entertaining reading. The series characters are perfect. Their interactions will keep you reading long after you say....one more chapter. In this story, our intrepid FBI agent and her reformed....maybe....partner are joined by their own fathers in an investigation that will keep all four of them busy right up to the reveal. Another enjoyable book by a skilled author. If you love Andy Carpenter or Kinsey Milhone, you'll love this series.

Kate & Nick, Janet & Steve are at it again! And with much success as well! I could not put this book down and was left guessing! This should be made into a TV show, it would gain a huge following!

I think I should have read the other books in the series first. There were parts that seemed off to me. I don't know if I will read others in the series.

I have not read a Janet Evanovich book that didn't make me laugh out loud. I really enjoy this series and hope that it continues way into the future.

Started promising and exciting but quickly became apparent that it had lost it’s signature quippy charm. The characters didn’t sound like themselves and the set-up and rollout of the plot was far from the expected style of the previous books. It’s not a “bad” book, but it’s not a Fox and O’Hare novel. In all other ways, I’d give this adventure 4 stars. As the book it’s supposed to be in this particular series, it barely cracks 3 Stars.

I love Janet Evanovich books, so when i saw she had a new series I had no choice but to read it. AND I AM GLAD I DID, this was a great story, and i am looking forward to more in this series.

This book was a clean read with lots of adventure. Returning to the complicated relationship between FBI agent Kate O'hara and Nick Fox, scoundrel and con man, Evanovich speeds the reader along a European treasure hunt with 3 older gentlement, two of which are their fathers. Readers will enjoy this chase to recover lost Nazi gold. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, a continuation of a fun series.

I love this author for the reason that all her books are easy to pick up at any point in the series. This book was the first one I’ve read in this series and I did enjoy it. The only issue I have with it is that I didn’t enjoy switching point of views. I would have rather had just one character’s view throughout. The adventure was exciting and fun to follow along with and overall an enjoyable read.

Good story!

Description
FBI agent Kate O’Hare and charming criminal Nick Fox race against time to uncover a buried train filled with Nazi gold in this thrilling adventure from #1 New York Times bestselling author Janet Evanovich and Steve Hamilton.

Type A special agent Kate O’Hare and international criminal Nick Fox have brought down some of the biggest bad guys out there. But now they face their most dangerous foe yet—a vast, shadowy international organization known only as the Brotherhood.

Directly descended from the Vatican Bank priests who served Hitler during World War II, the Brotherhood is on a frantic search for a lost train loaded with $30 billion in Nazi gold, untouched for over seventy-five years somewhere in the mountains of Eastern Europe.

Kate and Nick know that there is only one man who can find the fortune and bring down the Brotherhood—the same man who taught Nick everything he knows—his father, Quentin. As the stakes get higher, they must also rely on Kate’s own father, Jake, who shares his daughter’s grit and stubbornness.

From a remote monastery in the Swiss Alps to the lawless desert of the Western Sahara, Kate, Nick, and the two men who made them who they are today must crisscross the world in a desperate scramble to stop their deadliest foe in the biggest adventure of their lives.

Fantastic addition to this series. I highly enjoyed the fact that this book did not feel like the typical Fox and O'Hare book. The story line was deeper, giving a more backstory on our favorite criminal but the mystery itself was more thought provoking. It still has the action scenes and explosions we all have grown to love but with way more intrigue and history that gave the story more depth. I hope the series continues on this path, but maybe with some of the funny old characters brought back. If you love this series this book is definitely not one you should miss out on. I highly recommend this read.

Even though this is the seventh book in the series and I hadn’t read the first six, I had no problem picking up on what was going on. The characters were entertaining, and I love the travel aspect of the book.

I loved it. I love Janet Evanovich's pace, characters, banter, and the relationship between them. Also, I loved the setting and the premise: WWII secret taking characters across the best places in Europe.

The Bounty is the treasure hunt and a life-death sprint to the finish line between Fox and O'Hare (this is their 7th adventure), their fathers, and... nazis' heirs. And you'd get it all: a love story, a war story, betrayal, danger, breathtaking views, more betrayal, and father-son, father-daughter issues unfold. Fox and O'Hare are on the quest to recover Nazi's stolen treasure before bad guys, saving their reputation, skin, and fathers in the process.

A very enjoyable, fast-paced read. Evanovich and Hamilton have done a great job making any reader comfortable stepping into the series (even if you haven't read the previous installments).

As a fan of Janet Evanovich, i had never read her “detective” series. She always writes about a strong capable female and Kate O’Hare delivers. And Nick Fox, former criminal, is a great partner in the search for buried gold. Fun and fast, comical and daring - this book delivers!

I read this as a standalone but wished that I could have read the prior books before -but I recognized that may be an issue when I first requested the book.

The Bounty is book seven in the Fox and O'Hare series, but the first co-authored by Janet Evanovich and Steve Hamilton. Enough of the history and the relationships is explained for it to be able to stand alone. Once it begins, the book is nonstop action, going from place to place with possibly a literal pot of gold at the end. The "action" somewhat repeats location to location, but the pace makes for an entertaining read.

Reviewed for NetGalley.

Never read a book with a more evident elevator pitch. Do you miss White Collar, or do you wish it were a book? Well, here you go! Janet Evanovich and Steve Hamilton pair up for another FBI agent and reformed art thief pairing. The FBI agent is Kate O'Hare, and the con man is Nick Fox, together they must chase clues to find a lot of Nazi gold. This one starts on the Vatican's roof ( must be one of Europe most used locations for literary and movie action sequences) and then hops in high tempo through Europe, checking off its most famous tourist attraction, each offering another perilous physical ordeal, climbing, diving, or the terrifying sequence/getting lost in a crumbling cave. There's a smidge of romance, a lot of group shenanigans, easy banter, bigger-than-life nazi bad guys; it's fun, brash, and simplistic. An easygoing pageturner that could use more conflict and character development, and reminded me a bit of a Dan Brown novel, without all the research; delightful fluff.

Author Janet Evanovich may be best known for her quirky Stephanie Plum crime thrillers. But there’s more to this best-selling author than just a bounty-hunting Jersey girl. And in The Bounty, the seventh Fox and O’Hare adventure, co-written with Steve Hamilton, she once again tones down the wackiness to take readers on a death-defying, globe-traveling adventure...

Thanks to Simon and Schuster audio and NetGalley for the ARC of this book.
This is a hold on to the seat of your pants action packed book. Kate O’Hara is a FBI agent The Nick Fox is a ConMan. The FBI has paired them together. In this book they’re looking for Nazi gold worth $30 million. Nick has a big problem his Dad is involved in this theft. Will Nick and Kate get there first? Will Nick be able to handle his fathers involvement? The setting is absolutely perfect and the witty banner between the two is one of my favorite things about Evanovich’s books.
