Bryce: The Project

Indie Rebels #3

by Miranda P. Charles

To infiltrate a gang of criminals, Bryce starts to date the daughter of the gang’s leader. But can he remain loyal to his team when he starts falling in love?

Bryce Green owes his freedom to the Indie Rebels, and he repays the secretive crime-fighting group by becoming one of them. His most daring assignment so far is to infiltrate a notorious syndicate hell-bent on the IR’s destruction. To his shock, he discovers that a woman from his past is the crime lord’s daughter. Now, he has to woo her to get his foot into the syndicate’s door.

When Emma Fern decides to reconcile with her estranged father, she discovers that the Fern family is embroiled in a conflict with a powerful group called the Indie Rebels. Denying any wrongdoing, Emma’s father wants her to agree to invasive security measures. Luckily, she bumps into Bryce Green, an old friend with experience in providing security—and a guy who makes her heart race. But is Bryce everything he says he is?

About the author

Miranda P. Charles writes swoonworthy, stirring, and steamy contemporary romance novels with oh-so-sweet heroes and strong heroines.

She prefers to spend her time in front of her laptop, putting into words the love stories that play in her head. Don't get her started with reading a great book, though, because she tends to not put it down until she gets to the last page even if she loses sleep.

She does have a life outside of books. Mostly, that consists of bonding with family and friends or going on romantic trips with her awesome husband.

She lives in the beautiful city of Sydney, Australia.

Bryce: The Project (Indie Rebels Book 3) by Miranda P. Charles  
How does a work in progress see it's way clear to becoming a finished project? With a ton of effort, an abundance of heart and a clear head, anything can be accomplished. Charles is always so quick at putting the mystery front and center, that we almost forget that there's more to be offered. Behind the action lies gritty emotion. Bryce and Emma risk not just their lives, but their hearts are fair game as well. Beyond the danger and suspense is a message of hope that drives us to keep trying to beat the odds.

I love this series! Bryce Green is one of the Indie Rebels, but it was a long road to get there. His father was the head of a criminal syndicate, and pulled him into the life. Luckily his brother never got involved and is also one of the Indie Rebels. Bryce helped bring his father’s group down. Emma Fern is the daughter of the head of a criminal group trying to take the Indie Rebels down. Emma has no idea what her father does as she has had no contact with him since her parents divorced when she was young. Her mother passed away and her father contacted her, so she is giving him a chance. The Indie Rebels assign Bryce to get close to help them find the Jester who is a computer hack and trying to take them down. This is no hardship for Bryce as they met two years ago and had a fling. They lived in different places and knew there was no hope for a relationship. Bryce hasn’t forgot Emma and neither has Emma forgotten Bryce. Emma has been told that the Indie Rebels are bad and they framed Emma’s uncle who is in jail. Of course Bryce can’t let her know he is part of the group.

This book has intrigue, betrayal, lies, and love. I love books that I don’t want to put down as I want to know what is happening next. This is that type of book. I felt bad for Emma that she had no idea what her father’s side of the family was into. She is such a nice person and wanted to belong to a family. Bryce did a good job of taking care of Emma while trying to find the Jester. I loved the book, and strongly encourage you to read the book. I voluntarily read an Advanced Reader’s Copy of this book.

Now that Bryce is free from his criminal family and involved with the Indie Rebels, he's trying his best to prove himself to them. So when his newest assignment is to "infiltrate the Fixers so they could stop Jester and Addison from destroying the Indie Rebels." he's not all that thrilled that Emma, the woman he had a fling with two years ago, is part of the criminal underground he's trying to take down. But wait, he can get close to her using their previous fling, and it will help him in his assignment. If he could just remember she's the daughter of a man he and the Rebels despise, he'll be fine. Right?

I really liked the previous book in this series, Jaxon: The Assignment, which was Bryce's brother's story, and Bryce and Emma's story is just as good. It interweaves the mystery with the romance seamlessly and Emma and Bryce are great together. Definitely looking forward to the next one in this series.

Bryce Green's father was an infamous crime lord who found it necessary to force Bryce into joining him in his crime syndicate. Although Bryce refused to get involved in any serious criminal actives he was forced to join in one of his father's less criminal enterprises by acting a security agent. When his father died and his father's less than scrupulous successor took over Bryce felt his life was in real jeopardy. So he appealed to the Indie Rebels, a sort of vigilante protection group for help. The Indie Rebels became his salvation and as a price for his redemption, he had to become a member of the Rebels. One of his assignments was to get close to the daughter of the crime lord who wanted to eliminate the Indie Rebels. He had to use Emma Fern the daughter of said crime boss to accomplish his mission. Want Bryce didn't count on was that he would fall in love with Emma. Once again Ms. Charles had written an intense romantic suspense novel with lots of intrigue. Bryce: The Project is the third book in the Indie Rebels collection it, however, a standalone novel. This is a good book and if you like this type of genre you are going to love this book.

I received this advanced readers copy and I am freely posting this fair and balanced review.

Loving the suspense and sexiness that the Indie Rebels deliver. Bryce has finally broken free from his crime family which gives him the chance to help the Indie Rebels. His assignment surprises him when Emma, a woman he met a few years ago, and had an amazing encounter with, ends up being connected to his family’s competition and part of his next assignment. Emma’s world has gone through many changes in a short amount of time so reconnecting with her father and his relatives is a welcome adventure. When she sees Bryce in Sydney, she is surprised but delighted. As Bryce works to get closer to Emma’s family to unravel a mystery for the Indie Rebels, he also gets to spend more time with Emma. The challenge is keeping the fact that her father is a crime boss and that he works with the Indie Rebels a secret. There are a lot of great twists and turns to this journey. I loved that Emma is focused on her career as a chef and isn’t a pushover whenever her father wants something. She even gave Bryce a run for his money with her stubborn streak, which kept him on his toes. I voluntarily read an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.

Bryce is disturbed to realise that the young woman he had been attracted to two years previously and that he is now being asked to get close to, is the daughter of a crime lord. Just her surname is repellent to him but as he re-connects with her, he discovers that she is unaware of her father’s underworld life and a strong urge to protect her from being drawn into that world may jeopardise his mission. If the mission is successful, will Emma forgive him his lies and his take down of her family? Bryce and Emma’s hearts are at risk, will Love conquer all? Spoiler alert, there is a happy ending. One in a series but can be read as a standalone.

Imagine you go on vacation, meet a HOT guy that you spend time, there is incredible chemistry between you, and then on the last night of your vacation you have a night to remember. Fast forward a couple years and you run into this guy. Will they be able to pick up where they left off? And is there more to the chance meeting than Emma knows?

In Bryce's working for on assignment for the Indie Rebels, he needs to infiltrate a crime syndicate and part of that involves spending time with Emma. But is Emma aware of her father's position? And what about her cousin Sharryn?

The chemistry between Emma and Bryce was undeniable. There was also mysteries and twists in this story. Loved how the ending of the story tied back to the beginning. I look forward to reading Kallan's story.

[Urvashi · Rating 5 out of 5]

2 years ago, when Bryce met Emma, he didn’t know who she is, just that they shared a bond. But living in different cities made being together difficult.
Now as an Indie Rebel in order to infiltrate a gang he has to pursue a relationship with the gang leaders daughter, Emma. What will happen when he starts falling for her again.
This was a great read with steamy romance and some intriguing twists and turns. The story flowed so well that I had a hard time putting it down. And now I can’t wait for Kallan’s story.

I don’t know haw Miranda does it - always writing fantastic stories. This series is amazing and I can’t get enough of these Indie Rebels! Bryce and Emma have a somewhat history. Now 2 years later, his assignment as an Indie Rebel is to get close to the crime leader’s daughter who just happens to be Emma. With the secrets, twists, turns and chemistry can Bryce and Emma trust each other and have a chance at love??? Miranda is a must read author for me!!! Don’t miss out on this standalone book series!

ARC for honest review with no compensation. 4.5 stars

This is book 3 of the Indie Rebels series by Miranda Charles and what a well written, suspenseful story with twists, turns, lies, betrayal, love and can't put down!! With each new book we get to hear from others in the prior books too.

Bryce and Emma come from crime boss families, he wants out of the syndicate and she was estranged from her family when these two meet, sparks fly, lies are told and secrets are kept but can they both get out and lead a normal life or will they both be pulled back in the fold of crime, drugs and evil??

[Misty Goan · Rating 5 out of 5]

A wonderfully well written and intriguing intense captivating romantic suspense novel with lots of intrigue, betrayal, lies, steam and love. Third in the series but read as a standalone with interesting and engaging characters. Bryce is the son of the head of a criminal syndicate. Emma and he has a fling a couple years ago and were reunited. I was addicted from page one till the end with all the twists and turns in this amazing story.

This is an intriguing story. It had me from the first page and just kept getting better. It has mystery, drama, romance, suspense and more.

Action-packed with a proper amount of suspense and intrigue, and the chemistry between Bryce and Emma is plenty hot, but also lands Bryce in a conundrum since he was all about the job, not developing feelings for the daughter of the gang leader whose gang Bryce is trying to gain acceptance into.

Bryce : The Project

Wow, this story is so full of drama, is intense, has mafia type connections, and the thought of trying to pull an unsuspecting daughter into it. Trying to infiltrate this group, shut them down an be very dangerous, if not deadly.

2 years is a long time to wait.

This second chance at love is not a normal mafia romance. It is exciting and fun with a dash of danger. More lovey than sexy but still has action.
