This is the second book in the Hacker Series.  It’s the best kind of romance novel.  Meredith Wild made my insides ache like when you watch a video clip of someone suddenly falling onto the pavement and you can sympathetically feel their pain.  That’s how I felt for Blake.

Besides being a great romance, there’s a story line that is full of shocking surprises that makes the novel very fresh in an unpredictable kind of way.

I just found out that the 4th in the series, Hard Limit, is available for pre-order today.

Eva finds Gideon’s most fabulous attributes to include his beauty, stamina, size, and prowess, which can make for an entertaining relationship.  More importantly, those traits make for a captivating book!  In “Captivated by You” I found Gideon’s character to be even more compelling than in the previous novels, which were undeniably amazing.  In this book, more of Gideon’s weaknesses are revealed and he becomes a more interesting character, in which the reader cannot help become invested.  My interest in Gideon solidified in Chapter 11, when Sylvia Day writes:

“Gideon…”  The way she said my name was a plea, as if I wouldn’t get down on my knees and beg for the privilege of having her.

Gideon and Eva’s story continues in “One With You”

What a tangled web Meredith Wild weaves in “Hardwired.”  The characters become more intertwined as the book continues.  I can’t wait to see how it all sorts itself out in the rest of The Hacker Series.

Blake is wealthy business man.  But can he bring the heat?  Yes!  Here’s a favorite quote and sample of the swelter …

“I drew in a deep breath and crossed my legs, acutely aware of the sensations he inspired between them.  Get it together, Erica.  The ball of nervous energy that had resided in my stomach mere seconds ago had exploded into a blinding sexual energy that had me pulsing from my fingertips to my nethers.”

On a side note, I enjoyed the reference to dinner at Maggiano’s.  It is a popular and savory restaurant in the Chicago area (where it originated).
