About this ebook

Book Description:

After years as a black ops CIA agent, nothing surprises Roy Kincaid, yet his current assignment is close to a bust. How could his target—renegade genetic freaks—drop off the radar as if they never existed? Burnt out and discouraged, he hunches over a meal in a backwater diner when a half-frozen woman with the look of an abused runaway staggers through the door. On his feet in an instant, Roy kicks himself. His first instinct is to help her, make certain she stays long enough for the bluish cast to leave her lips. His second is to finish his meal and leave. The world is full of broken women. It’s not his job to fix them, but he can’t take his eyes off her. 

Glory’s telepathic ability blares a harsh warning. Roy hunts those like her, but damn if he didn’t buy her dinner. Maybe she can fool him, just for tonight. Add a dry motel room to the meal. If she plays it very cool, he’ll never find out she’s on the run from the same group he’s targeted for death.

Enhanced genetics only go so far. A roadblock and her face on a Most Wanted flyer shatter her fragile truce with Roy. If her Handlers find her, they’ll kill her. If Roy finds out what she is, she’ll be worse than dead. 

Series Backstory:

Sometime between the interminable wars in the Middle East and 9/11, the United States moved forward breeding a race of super humans. Clandestine labs formed, armed with eager scientists who’d always yearned to manipulate human DNA. At first the clones looked promising, growing to fighting size in as little as a dozen years, but V1 had design flaws.

Seven years ago, a rogue group turned on their creators, blew up the lab, and hit all the other breeding farms, freeing whomever they could find. In the intervening time, they’ve retreated to hidden compounds and created a society run by men. Women are kept on a tight leash because the men fear if they discover their innate power, they’d launch their own rebellion.

Ratings and reviews

This author never ceases to surprise me; no genre is off limits to her. In this book we have scientist once again tinkering with human DNA to make that super soldier; but when the scientist feel they are not up to their expectations they attempt to destroy them or even worse. The "genetic freaks" turn on their makers, killing them and destroying the labs. Now the CIA black ops are after them and have been losing their own at alarming rates. This is the build up to a unusual meeting and growing attraction between a female "freak" who has escaped from her handlers and through fate runs into the man who ask been seeking and killing her kind. Their story includes running for their lives, learning each other as "humans" not enemies, discovering secrets and what each of them is capable of. I love sci-fi, romance, and thrillers and this exciting story has them all. I don't do spoilers and have only skimmed over the events that I hope will have you want to get this book. There is so much more going on and I for one did not put the book down till I finished it. If you also love these genre's you must pick-up this book and you will be drawn into an exciting world filled with action and yes, even love.

Love and espionage with a side of sci-fi please. An engaging story of love and espionage, Winning Glory will snag you from the beginning. Engineered superhumans rebelling against their creators is the basis for this series. But if the callous acts of humanity aren’t bad enough to cause a rebellion the acts of the Nameless Ones are the topping on the cake of injustice. The book opens with Glory completing her first assigned mission for the Nameless Ones. You get an immediate introduction to the differences created in the superhuman. The mission sets the espionage tone for the rest of the book. The male superhumans aka the Nameless Ones segregate, starve and punish their females in order to keep them controllable, uninformed and usable. A push too far finds Glory on the run from both the Nameless Ones and the CIA that hunts them. Roy a black ops CIA agent discovers Glory in a diner in Minnesota when she wanders in inadequately dressed for the freezing weather outside. He’s instantly drawn to her. While it takes him awhile to unravel her secrets the journey to enlightenment sees him revising his judgments on the “freaks”. We discover a caring, protective and loving alpha hero. I really enjoyed to fast paced journey to love and adventure with Glory and Roy and I’m really looking forward to new books in this series. All in all this was a well written story and I highly recommend it. I received a copy of this book for an honest review.

Good read!
