The Fast and the Furious meets Mr. Robot in USA Today bestselling author Megan Erickson’s sexy new romantic suspense series.
Hacker extraordinaire Roarke Brennan lives each hour—each breath—to avenge his brother’s murder. His first move: put together a team of the best coders he knows. They’re all brilliant, specialized, and every one an epic pain in his ass. Only now Wren Lee wants in too, threatening to upset their delicate balance. The girl Roarke never allowed himself to want is all grown up with sexy confidence and a dark past … and she’s the wild card he can’t control.
Roarke might still think she’s a kid, but Wren’s been to hell and back. Nothing and nobody can stop her—especially the tatted-up, cocky-as-all-hell hacker. But when years of longing and chemistry collide, Wren and Roarke discover that revenge may be a dish best served blazing hot.
"Zero Hour was the Ocean’s Eleven/Mr. Robot mashup I didn’t know I needed in my life and I WANT MORE! Adrenaline-fueled, sexy and tender all at once, Zero Hour is the amazing start to an thrilling new series. Highly recommend!" -- Molly O’Keefe, USA Today Bestselling Author
Roarke is out for revenge after his brother is murdered. He's got a team of hackers that are helping him achieve his goal. When his best friend's sister Wren wants in on the action, he takes the protective stance and tells her no. What a mistake! In spite of an attraction between Roarke and Wren that predates their current activities, Roarke doesn't really know Wren's abilities and she's a master at the game as much as he is.
For most of this book I thought Roarke was basically a mess. He's focused on revenge, he's got some serious anger issues, and he just doesn't seem to be able to hold his mud in most cases. He's a hard man to like. Wren on the other hand is fiesty and doesn't take no for an answer and is usually mad at Roarke for something stupid he's said.
I did have a bit of a tough time getting into this book. I had a hard time liking these characters, especially Roarke. It started to click for me when Erick, Wren's brother and Roark's best friend divulges exactly why he wants revenge too. That was a super touching scene and it pulled me into this book emotionally. It had me turning the pages until the end.
The final scenes of the book are full of action which I absolutely appreciated. I loved how the hacking team banded together and became more than just hackers behind a computer screen. There are some serious skills on this team and I'm eager to learn more.
So, overall, a good effort to start and I'm looking forward to more in this series.
