A fun romp will be had by all who reads this book! Another wonderful novel in the Fox and O'Hare series. Thankful to NetGalley for allowing me a copy to read.

I want to thank the publishers and Netgallery for the opportunity to read an advanced copy of The Bounty.
This was the first time I had read either of the authors so I was not sure what to expect. After reading the description, I thought it had promise and I was looking forward to delving into it. To be quite honest, it was a difficult book to get through. It was not a book a couldn't put down but in the end I really enjoyed it. I'm not sure how to explain it. The Bounty reminded me of the National Treasure movies with Bond-like villains roaming around. Despite jumping in at the 7th book in the series, the authors did a good job of adding enough backstory on the characters where I wasn't lost.

In the end, I enjoyed the book so much I bought the first book in this series.

Thanks Netgalley for allowing me to read this book. Fbi agent Kate O'Hara is given the job of working with Nick who 8s a reformed thief. They are given intel that a group known only as the brotherhood would be committing a crime. This book kept me on edge from the beginning

I can easily see the books in this series brought to Netflix. It’s an age old dynamic, love you hate you, total opposites relationship that works well between Kate and Nick, FBI agent and somewhat reformed con man. I enjoyed the setting of this latest booked well as the unique storyline.

From the first page to the last, I kept thinking that this would make a terrific action-packed motion picture. As for the book? Well, it would make a terrific action-packed movie.

Mind you, I haven't read any of the six preceding books in this series that feature FBI Special Agent Kate O'Hare and professional con man Nick Fox. But I'm intimately acquainted with virtually all of author Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum books and am a big fan of author Lee Goldberg, who co-wrote the first five in this series. And, I've read and enjoyed two books by the co-author of this one. So when I got the chance to read and review a pre-release copy, I was delighted.

Now that I've finished, though, I'm a little less enthused; the whole thing struck me as a bit shallow. To be sure, the action never stops (think Indiana Jones on steroids) which, generally speaking, is a good thing - certainly in a movie. In written form, though, it just seemed to be too much, too fast. Beyond that, the limited conversation among the various characters - especially between O'Hare and Fox, despite a few humorous and sexually suggestive one-liners - failed to give me any real insights into their characters or entice me to develop anything close to camaradarie with any of them.

The plot itself is intriguing; it begins at the Vatican Museum, as Kate and Nick try to thwart a robbery in progress. They're told the target is a priceless diamond-encrusted ring; but turns out it was a very old map which, rumor has it, leads to $30 billion in gold supposedly hidden after World War II by a group of Nazis called the Brotherhood. As it also turns out, the thief - who gets away in fine James Bond fettle - is someone very familiar to Nick.

The resulting chase takes Nick and Kate - who also gets help from a familiar figure - to historic locations in several countries, each adventure fraught with almost unimaginable danger. In fact, what impressed me most about the book is the attention to detail with regard to their surroundings at each new venue; clearly, effort was put into research and making those parts very interesting (at least to me). At each spot, the goal is to find the next piece of the map - hopefully leading to the final piece and, of course, the gold.

Was anyone harmed in the process? Several (but my lips are sealed). Did the gold really exist and did they find it? Still not talking. Overall, it's a thrill-a-minute adventure that most likely will be enjoyed most by those who read the previous books. Thanks to the publisher, via NetGalley, for this one.

Now when can we expect that movie? I've got a few ideas for casting (hint: call me).

Nick and Kate race to get this mystery solved. When you throw in Nick's father, Quenton, and his "Friends", this becomes a complicated situation, Thrilling and fast moving story.

I really enjoyed the new group of characters and the break from formula. It was nice to have a bit of a fresh story from this series. I do wish we for to hear some of Nick and Kate's inner monologues. It is really just like watching a movie because we never really know what they are thinking or doing through which makes it harder to get invested when the story is in book form.

Nick Fox, reformed con man and special agent Kate O’Hara are on a case again. They are checking security for the Vatican when a thief steals a map to $30 million in Nazi gold. The location of the gold has been lost for over 75 years. The book is a chase across Europe with the bad guys hot on Nick and Kates heels. Full of adventure, danger and suspense this book kept me turning the pages. This book is part of a series but could be read as a stand alone. Thank you to net galley for an advanced readers copy.

Generally speaking, I get fed up with "run, run, run, talk about it for a minute, run, run, run" books, but this series has a charm I have a tough time resisting. Though the first few books are better, the Bounty is definitely a strong installment.

Very well developed characters and an extremely engaging story. Well thought out and very suspenseful story line that keeps the reader guessing until the final twist! This is the book to read this year! Highly recommended!
