The Bounty (Redemption Inc.) by Layla Reyne


Offered the chance at a new career and a new start, Theodore "Wags" Wagner is on the hunt for a wayward hacker. However, the instant chemistry between Wags and the much younger Blaine heats up at the same time they are in danger and on the run together.


From the blurb:

Inspector Theodore Wagner should refuse the job offer that’s too good to be true. But life has been the opposite of good for so long that when six figures and an exit from his reality are on the table, he jumps at the chance.

Catch the bounty. Take the money. Start a new life.

Except when Wags finally bags the bounty, he finds the attractive young hacker too sexy to resist. And with a target on Blaine’s back, they’re soon on the run from all the wrong people. But the biggest threat of all—to their safety and to Wags’s new-life plan—might just be the one bed they’re supposed to sleep in…together.

The Bounty is a prequel novella in the Redemption Inc. series. This M/M age-gap romantic suspense features a former spy in the middle of his mid-life crisis and the snarky, irresistible hacker he’s been tasked to retrieve.


SNik's review:

Prequel Novella (Redemption, Inc.), some familiarity with Reyne’s Dead Draw and other series might make this a more fun read. Age gap. Single POV. 

A fast reintroduction to Inspector Theodore “Wags” Wagner and Blaine Stewart as Wags is hired to chase the hacker across the world. This story moves quickly into some action and high steam as Blaine and Wags cross paths in Vienna, Blaine wanting to retrieve his mother’s diary and Wags helping so he can get Blaine back into protected custody. As it is a single POV we get more of Wags’s background and motivations, and you have to take Blaine’s declarations of interest at face value. Overall, this was an entertaining story with an insta-forever connection that neither man hesitates to embrace.


The Bounty is currently available as an e-book
