About this listen
When a personal trainer and a computer genius are caught in the dark web, there's a lot to fear and a love to fight for in a heart-racing novel by Nancy Herkness, award-winning author of The Money Man.
Dawn Galioto is an expert in self-defense and the most in-demand personal trainer at her Jersey gym - a perfect position for a woman fighting her way out of a troubled past and the anxieties that come with it. Then, after complaints about baffling Wi-Fi glitches at the gym, Dawn calls in disarmingly hot, high-powered computer consultant Leland Rockwell. If she can trust anyone to fix her on-the-job problems, it's Leland. As for healing her off-hours fears, time will tell.
The cybersecurity genius of KRG, Leland sees a lot to admire in Dawn. She's strong, quick-witted, and sexy. And something of a puzzle - one Leland wants very much to solve. If only she'd let him. Every new reveal brings him intimately closer to Dawn, but there's another, more dangerous riddle to decipher. After going undercover to solve her Wi-Fi problem, Leland's found a dark workplace secret. As Dawn's past threatens a burgeoning romance, the deepening mystery they're discovering threatens their lives.

If the Upper East Side had an evil twin, it would be Tickled Pink, Wisconsin. This run-down, backwoods town isn’t worthy of the footprint of my Louboutins, never mind all of me. But when my grandmother has a near-death experience and realizes we Lightlys can’t buy our way into heaven, she relocates the family to Tickled Pink to work on improving our souls. And that’s how I trade my heiress existence for gigantic bugs, dishwater coffee, and a cranky single dad named Teague Miller.

Someone is stalking Audrey Young. And she has no idea why. Complicating matters is her landlord and new neighbor, Josiah Haven. She doesn’t usually go for the big, surly lumberjack type. But there’s something about that broody man. He intimidates her a little, but she kind of likes it. She could totally handle the mess that is her life, except the strange feeling of being watched is just the beginning. Next thing Audrey knows, she’s a target, and she doesn’t know who’s behind it or why. For Josiah Haven, none of that makes her his problem.

I was upgraded to first class on a flight from London to New York. The food, champagne, and service were impeccable. The blue-eyed man sitting next to me, even better. He was suave and intelligent. We talked and laughed, and something clicked. Fate took over and the plane was grounded, and we had an unexpected stopover for the night. With no plans, we made our own.

I'm not the kind of girl who has one-night stands. Except...I did. What can I say? After a few drinks with a gorgeous man who made me feel alive for the first time since losing my mom, I was powerless to say no. And I didn't regret it. Not one minute of our hot, mind-melting night together. But he wasn't a forever kind of guy. So I walked away. I wasn't supposed to ever see him again. Then I did. Turns out my sexy one-night stand is Dr. Jacob Mitchell - and he's the cardiothoracic surgeon who just saved my dad's life.

Tate is not the sort of neighbor you can ignore. Especially when he walks around half naked for all the world to see. I can't help that I got a weak spot for bad boys. But that was before I became a single mom, and I’m not so weak anymore. Besides, Tate lights my temper without even trying, and I swear he enjoys teasing me. Well, two can play at that game, and I think it’s time someone teaches him a lesson.

I’ve got a list of people I absolutely don’t ever want to be stuck with on a boat, or a plane, or a train, and it starts and ends with the broody, grumpy, too-sexy-for-my-own good Axel Huxley. Also known as this romance novelist’s number one nemesis. The man is legendary for his mighty pen and his even mightier scowl. I tried to work together with the cocky thriller writer once upon a time, but the two of us are like vodka and good decisions. We don’t play well together.

The first time I laid eyes on Henley James, I was mesmerized. The chemistry between us was like nothing I’d ever felt. Impeccable suit, dimpled smile. He was charming and gorgeous, sophisticated and suave. He gave me his business card and asked me to call. His dating game was strong; I was gone from his first smile. I’d love to tell you our date was a raging success, but it wasn’t. Far from it. I decided right there on that day that Henley James and I would forever be mortal enemies; I would never think of him again.

He has more defenses than a nuclear missile silo. And he’s the ultimate catch of the century. At least, according to his bank statement. My job’s simple: Keep all interested ladies away from the walled-off heir, by pretending to be his one true love. But you know what they say about fake-dating a billionaire: It’s all fun and games, until the scandals start.

The Hacker
I really liked this one and consumed it in two sittings (which with me being so busy right now was incredible). Dawn has noticed an increased data usage at the gym she works and the customers have been complaining. This is how Leland is brought into the picture to help figure out why and they have such chemistry it cannot be denied. Both of them have demons and each find ways to soothe each other while still bring down the bad guys. This one can be read as a standalone. Intrigue and romance with heat and danger thrown in. Just what makes a great beach read or if you keep it for later it will be great to read in front of a fire this winter (but why wait that long).

When you’ve read the first book in a series you start starving for the second. After finishing the first installment in The Consultants, I couldn’t stand the wait to see what, or who, came next. This book did not disappoint.
I love the story with a bit of danger, a couple characters who have that instant attraction that has the potential for love, sexy times that are put in a way that doesn’t make me blush but does give me the warm fuzzies, and characters that are flawed and have the capacity for change together. This is a story that delivers, as do all of Nancy Herkness’s books.
This is the story of a computer genius and the girl that he’s got a thing for. Maybe. You know, I’m pretty sure he had a thing for her but didn’t come right out and go for it. It was a realization that was unexpected for him, because Leland was a workaholic until he had the chance to spend more time with Dawn.
He helps her. She helps him. There are sexy times. They have emotional growth. There’s a climactic who-dun-it moment. There’s an HEA. Honestly, it exceeded expectations for me! And I had anticipatory exciting expectations for it.

A good way to escape
I enjoyed reading “The Hacker” and wondered how Dawn and Leland would respond to each other as they investigated issues with the network at the gym where Dawn works as a personal trainer. It was a good way to spend downtime when we need to stay at home because of the COVID-19 pandemic at the end of 2020.
The Audible recording was good and allows to me rest my eyes at the end of the day.

Another heart pumping story
We met personal fitness trainer, Dawn, in book 1, as well as RBG partner and computer wiz, Leland. In this book, Dawn becomes suspicious when clients start complaining about the gym WiFi and their data. She contacts Leland to ask for advice. This leads to more than friends relationship. Both of these individuals have traumatic events in their pasts that have them afraid of lasting relationships. Doesn’t help that there are bad guys after Dawn.
Another steamy romantic suspense that keeps the blood pumping.

Loved this more!
Loved this seemingly opposites attract steamy romance! Overlapping with book 1 and progressing, this is an insta-lust taboo romance with a seriously dangerous mystery. I don't care if it's cliche! When it's good, it's good!
