Breaching His Defenses
Love Hack 1
by Allyson Lindt
Genre: Contemporary Romance
What happens in Vegas… Can break hearts and destroy careers.
Years ago, heartbreak corrupted Jared Tippins’s outlook on love. He spun the betrayal into a rapid climb up the corporate ladder, and swore off any relationship with a morning after. Luckily, the playful siren who rescues him from singing a duet alone in a karaoke bar doesn’t want anything long term. If only he could stop fantasizing about ways to make her moan. Sure, she could’ve mentioned he works for the competition. At least she’s not behind the security concerns that have plagued his company for almost six months.
If she were, he’d be screwed on a whole new level.
Mikki Elford is determined to have the fun she missed out on when she fast-tracked her way through college. But school had its upside, too. She’s qualified to legally hack corporate networks. Best job ever. She also gained an appreciation for the legends in computing — Gates, Jobs, and Tippins. When she meets Jared Tippins and realizes he’s sexy and fluent in programming languages older than she is, no consequence will dissuade her from an impromptu fling. Fortunately, he doesn’t mind that six months ago she compromised his network to land her job.
Oh, crap! He doesn't know.
A lovely play on words with the title giving a double meaning. Jared is top of his field in internet security but somehow his competitors keep stealing his business. Mikki is an up and coming newbie in the field and works for the competition, getting the job after hacking his systems. Now they find themselves at the same conference. She has been led to believe that Jared knows what she did but the truth is infinitely worse. Jared has no idea who she is but finds himself attracted to her. He has been betrayed once so what will he do when he discovers the truth?
The events all unfold over the period of a few days. Everything seemed more rushed because of it and despite his livelihood and reputation being under threat, Jared's focus was not where it should have been. Mikki's naivety didn't endear her to me and she didn't really force the issue in telling the truth. It was though a fun read. There were plenty of hot moments and Jared's friends provided an added dimension to the story.
