The Hacker by Anna Hackett {a review}


My name is Laura, I just read my first book in the Norcross series by Anna Hackett, and I want to go binge the entire series. If romantic suspense with former military members are books that you enjoy, then you need to go read The Hacker by Anna Hackett. Just trust me on that!

In The Hacker, we catch up with Ace and Maggie. They recently had a very memorable night together, and neither is able to forget it. One thing Maggie wasn't planning on was becoming pregnant, yet here she is. She knows she needs to tell Ace, but he's been out on assignment so she hasn't been able to. Now Maggie is getting ready to take clients out in her helicopter, so she can't focus on any of that right now. Her mind needs to be on her job. After that flight, things are suddenly going a bit crazy around Maggie. Someone hacked her drone, tried to hit her with it, and eventually crashed it. Maggie is angry, and rightfully so. Thankfully Vander swooped in to save her, and all was well. Even though they had no idea who was behind this chaos. Later that night, Maggie is going to a Norcross event, where she finally is face to face with Ace. She tells him her news, and he puts his foot in his mouth. They have to work through all of that though because Ace needs to figure out who hacked Maggie's drone, and see if they can figure out who is after her (and why!). So who is behind this attack against Maggie? Will they be captured? Can Maggie and Ace have a relationship, or will Maggie be a single parent?

This story. OH THIS STORY. At the very beginning I was just kind of meh about it. But then when the drone situation happened, and even before that when Maggie realized something out her clients on the island, I was all in. I absolutely love romantic suspense, and this book was definitely bringing it. Yes, the love story between Maggie and Ace was nice too, but dang if that didn't take a backseat to the action! I was on the edge of my seat for a lot of this book. Every time the action scenes kicked in, I was ready. I was ready for the villain(s) to be found, and for Maggie to just be safe at last! I absolutely loved the suspense, the characters, and the setting. I want to go back and binge the original 4 books in the series, and am already looking forward to the next. Anna Hackett has grabbed my attention, and I look forward to devouring this series. (as well as checking out her other books.)

I said it before, and I'll say it again, if romantic suspense is your sub-genre of choice, then GO READ THIS BOOK! If you enjoy romances with former military members, GO READ THIS BOOK! If you have a KU subscription, go add this book NOW! You won't regret it.

Thank you for taking time to read my thoughts on The Hacker. I hope that you'll read it. I truly think, if you're anything like me, you'll devour this story. (and fall for the characters.)

Laura


She’s accidentally pregnant and someone is trying to kill her…and now her one-night-stand is her fierce protector.

Helicopter pilot Maggie Lopez is focused on building her helicopter and drone photography business—and she has the loans to prove it. She takes one night off to trade her jeans for a designer dress, and attend a fancy gala…and ends up spending a very steamy night with her panty-melting crush—Ace Oliveira. He’s tall, sexy, and the guru of all things tech at Norcross Security. 

She wasn’t supposed to fall in lust, or fall in love, and she really wasn’t supposed to fall pregnant.

Ace Oliveira’s life is just how he likes it. After years protecting his country at the NSA, he now puts his special computer and hacking skills to good use at Norcross Security. He gets paid well. Has good friends. Enjoys the hell out of his carefree bachelor lifestyle. Relationships and kids are not on the cards for him—ever. He has his reasons.

But then feisty, saucy Maggie—who snuck out of his bed like a thief—drops a bombshell.

Before they can even process the surprise pregnancy, it becomes clear someone is trying to kill Maggie. A series of deadly accidents are all centered on her, and Ace will do whatever it takes to keep her safe. With the men of Norcross at his side, he’ll track down a killer, fight his own demons, and convince skittish, independent Maggie to fall in love with her baby’s daddy.
