Amazon / B&N / Kobo / BAM / Book Depository
Description:
A beautiful computer hacker and a bad-boy FBI agent must collaborate—in more ways than one—in the sizzling new novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Julie Garwood.
Allison Trent doesn’t look like a hacker. In fact, when she’s not in college working on her degree, she models on the side. But behind her gorgeous face is a brilliant mind for computers and her real love is writing—and hacking—code. Her dream is to write a new security program that could revolutionize the tech industry.
Hotshot FBI agent Liam Scott has a problem: a leak deep within his own department. He needs the skills of a top-notch hacker to work on a highly sensitive project: to secretly break into the FBI servers and find out who the traitor is. But he can’t use one of his own. He finds the perfect candidate in Allison. Only, there’s one problem—she wants nothing to do with his job and turns him down flat.
What Liam doesn’t know is that Allison is hiding secrets that she doesn’t want the FBI to uncover. But Liam will do nearly anything to persuade her to join his team, even break a few rules if that’s what it takes. A temptation that could put his job—and both of their futures—on the line…
and longing for more . . .
Review:
Wired by Julie Garwood is the 13th book in her Buchanan/FBI series. I am a big fan of Julie Garwood, and I am happy to say that I loved Wired. What makes this story fun to read, were the two lead characters, Allison Trent and Liam Scott. I loved both of them. The story line was also exciting, fun and with the two wonderfully likable characters, it was a fast fun read.
Allison Trent, our heroine, is a college student by day, a part time model, and a hacker at night. Allison is a genius, and can find bugs, break viruses or stop hacks and writes her own security programs. Allison visits the FBI’s new cyber building with her friend Jordan , but while there she is approached by two men who want her to work for them to find a leak in the FBI.
Liam Scott, our hero, is an FBI agent, who has researched and discovered Allison. Liam does not work for the Cyber division, but he recognizes that Allison is the one who will be able to find the leak, which has been stopping some of their key investigations. At first Allison refuses, as they want a commitment of a year. She is also afraid that they will discover how easy it is for her to get into any computer system, even if she only fixes bugs, or helps find and return millions of dollars scammed from seniors. But Liam will arrange for Allison to have immunity, as they need her to work on this sensitive project, which thus far has been impossible.
As Liam slowly fights off his attraction to the smart, tough, beautiful Allison, he learns about her rough life. When Allison mother and father died years before; she and her sister were forced to live with their aunt and uncle. They used Allison to do modeling work, and would take all her money. They were really nasty people, who badgered her constantly with phone calls.
Rather than give spoilers, what follows is a wonderful story that blends an exciting storyline that threatens Allison, as well as the threats from her relatives; but it is also such a sweet romance that will develop between Allison and Liam. This was a fun story, and Allison was such a great heroine. Liam was also good, as he was always there for Allison, even when he was determined to not let his growing feelings change anything in his life.
Wired was a wonderful fast exciting, fun read, with a great couple, some humor and nasty villains. Julie Garwood once again gives us another wonderful enjoyable story.
