Totally Linnea !

Great book ! I have all Linnea Sinclair's books and I recommand them ! aventure, romance, sex, good vs evil, etc you've got everything !enjoy your reading !

Linnea Sinclair rocks!

Others have summarized the plot line well, so I will say only that this is another of Linnea Sinclair's dazzling science fiction romances. She does a masterful job of balancing the science fiction world building and the romance. Her protagonists are always strong and appealing, the action lightning fast, and the relationships convincing. As for Rebels and Lovers in particular--I do love a sexy nerd. I hope there will be more Dock 5 stories to resolve the overall plot arc of the rebellion against some very bad dudes.

A superb action-packed romantic suspense science fiction thriller

Two years have passed since information technology guru Devin Guthrie last saw his beloved Captain Makaiden "Kaidee" Griggs, a widow. Although her being his family yacht pilot makes her unacceptable as his wife because Devin would have to defy J.M. his powerful father and CEO of Guthrie Global Systems. Devin also knows he still loves her. He is unhappy when his martinet father orders him to marry into another prominent family as damage control. Devin's older brother former admiral Philip defected to the Alliance (see Hope's Folly) and is openly rebelling against J.M. and the Empire. However, when Devin's nineteen years old nephew Trip vanishes, Devin investigates hoping to find the teen before he is hurt. Devin learns the lad's bodyguard was murdered and Trip barely escaped. He follows his fleeing relative to Dock Station Five where he encounters Kaidee and a perilous scenario in which apparently Empire and Alliance forces seek his nephew and him dead or alive. Rebels and Lovers is a superb action-packed romantic suspense science fiction thriller. The taut story line never slows down from the moment Devin tastes a bit of freedom and adventure in his desperate pursuit to bring his nephew home safe. Readers will appreciate Linnea Sinclair's strong entry as the dangerous suspense thriller starring a strong lead couple makes for an astounding tale. Harriet Klausner

Another awesome tale from a wonderful authors!

REBELS AND LOVERS released yesterday and I stayed up to finish it, because once I start, I can't put a Sinclair book down. This latest installment in her Dock Five series did not disappoint. It doesn't matter if like or don't like science fiction romance, because this is just plain, good storytelling. You can read this book as a stand alone, but I think it adds to the fun to be "in the know" from reading the other books. The worlds, the characters, are fully realized and just plain fun. I did NOT figure out who was doing it either. Overall, loved it!

Masterful Storytelling With Wonderful Romance (A- Grade)

Rebels and Lovers is book four in Linnea's Dock Five Universe series. Devin Guthrie is the youngest brother of the very respected and powerful Guthrie clan. His oldest brother, Philip, who's an admiral and the newest commander of the rebel forced of the Alliance is now somewhat of a black spot on the Guthrie name. Devin is the complete opposite of Philip. He spends his days surrounded by a glass-walled office working at his family's corporation, the Guthrie Global System's financial headquarters. There's a great deal of pressure for Devin, not only being a part of the oldest, wealthiest and most established families in the Empire, but his father, "the indomitable Jonathon Macy, known better as J.M." wants Devin to settle down and get married. He's disappointed in Devin because at thirty-five he's still single, unlike his two other brothers, Ethan and Jonathon. Devin is dating Tavia Emberson, who J.M. finds very suitable as Devin's future wife. Tavia comes from money and is everything beautiful and much a society darling, but Devin doesn't really feel anything for her. The problem is he's never gotten over Makaiden Griggs, who along with her husband Kiler, used to be a captains for one of their private ships. He and Makaiden grew close, but never overstepped those boundaries, although Devin longed to. He respected Makaiden's marriage and unfortunately lost contact with her when she and her husband were fired from the Guthrie employ. Devin knows he has to get over his long time crush even if it means marrying a woman he doesn't love. But before he can move on with the engagement plans, his college age nephew Trip has gone missing and his bodyguard murdered. The family thinks Trip has been kidnapped. Devin doesn't think so and regardless of his father threatening him to stay and not search for Trip he and his family's chief steward, Barthol will find Trip before he's harmed. Devin believes his nephew has gone to Dock Five, a well known unsavory outpost, to find out information about Philip. Finding Trip on Dock Five will be like looking through a needle in a haystack But as Devin searches for Trip, he meets up with the least likely person, the woman of his heart, Kaidee Griggs. Kaidee is stuck on Dock Five. She has less than a week to hand over a large amount of money to a very dangerous man all because her deceased husband became involved in some underhanded deals. There's no way Kaidee can come up it, especially with the Empire's restrictions on trade. And the last result maybe her handing over the only thing of value she owns, her ship the Rider. She can slink away and hide for a few more months until she can raise the cash but that's close to impossible, unless the restrictions are lifted. As Kaidee tries to come up with an answer to her problem, she spots Trip and saves him from a nasty looking individual she nicknames Fizz-face. Devin and Barthol are able to track Trip and that's when they meet up with Kaidee. All four hide out, trying to fi
