Book Review: "Hardpressed" (Hacker #2) by Meredith Wild…..The Sex Scenes Aren't Sloppy Smut!!!!!

Hardpressed is book two of the Hacker Series and picks up where Hardwired left off. For those who read the first book and saw the comparisons to Fifty Shades of Grey like I did, this book gets away from all of that and there is no longer anything to compare.

This book takes some wild turns, some daring twists, and some of the secrets learned in the first book get addressed in Hardpressed. Readers of the first book know who Daniel is by the time they've finished and by the time we get through book two, we know Daniel, we don't like Daniel and, some of us like the way Erica handled Daniel. I personally found her method of dealing with him to be not smart just for the sake of being independent. Being independent doesn't mean you NEVER need help. And I think that's Erica's main flaw: she's so used to doing everything on her own, she doesn't allow anyone to step up and help her. That annoyed the Hell out of me.

In book two, we know that Erica is questioned over Mark's death and it was fairly brief. My gut says Ms. Wild is going to eventually come back to that but it's hard to tell which twists she'll take in book three. Maybe she'll let Mark be dead and gone so Erica can start to move on from that bad juju from her past.

We see a lot of Erica's non-blood-related family (Marie, Alli, Sid) place themselves at Erica's side while she goes through a tough time with Blake without even knowing the reason for the tough time. I wish Ms. Wild would have brought it out more that Erica's mother may have died long ago but that she always had family before finding Daniel. I understand a person's need to find and get to know blood relations if they are out there but Erica (and Ms. Wild) misses an opportunity here to emphasize Erica's TRUE family.

The ending was a shocker and then it wasn't. Without spoilers, I can't explain it any further than that.

The sex in the book is absolutely fabulous. Ms. Wild knows how to write an erotic scene without making it sloppy smut. I have no trouble confessing that I wanted to jump my own husband after reading those scenes and I wouldn't be surprised if other adult readers wanted to jump their own partners as well.

Overall, the series is off to a good start. I'm looking forward to book three, Hardline (Hacker #3).

So, is "Hardwired" by Meredith Wild a Ripoff of Fifty Shades of Grey or Twilight?????

Hardwired is the first book in Meredith Wild's Hacker series. Within the first three chapters, you'll begin to think you're reading the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy all over again and there are similarities. Blake is a gozillionaire who likes to be in control, he's hot, he's possessive and so on. He's got a brother named Heath who falls for Alli, best friend of the main character Erica.

Erica is basically an orphan who just graduated from Harvard and was raised by her mother's best friend. There's even Sophia, Blake's sort of ex who is a bitch and doesn't like Erica and the feeling is mutual. Some of the similarities are so close, you will think you are reading the same thing but you're not.

You'll most likely run into reviews of those who bitch and moan at the mere mention of the similarities. Frankly, I find those people immature. I mean, c'mon, Erica gets on Blake quite a few times in this first book and calls him "master of the universe." And if you know anything about FSoG, you know that it's Twilight fan fiction that was previously titled "Master Of The Universe." So to deny the similarities is just immature and stupid.

Now, the actual book is really good once you move past those similarities because there ARE differences. In Hardwired, Erica is NOT Ana nor is she Bella. Erica is tough, smart, business savvy, she has her own start up business and she's trying to get some serious millions to fund her company, Clozpin, which sounds like an anti-anxiety drug but really, it's a fashion social networking site.

Erica and Blake sort of meet by LITERALLY running into each other and the day afterward, Erica finds herself at a conference table surrounded by wealthy men to make her pitch and one of those wealthy men is Blake.

From that point on, the entire book is complete FIREWORKS! The love scenes/sex scenes in the book are by no means boring and Erica knows how to hold her own with Blake. She's not entirely a pushover although she does have some confidence and trust issues. Like most main characters in these types of novels, she's got a past and so does he. Hers is pretty bad.

What's good about the book is how Blake reacts the story of her past. He still engages her but he doesn't walk on eggshells with her either. I thought he handled it all like a pro.

Overall, this is a good read. It's not incredibly deep, it's a book to relax with and you probably won't be able to put it down. DO be ready to read the series. You will WANT to read the next two books anyway to find out what happens to Erica and Blake. I'm in the middle of the second book and it actually gets BETTER. So if your summer vacation is planned and you're looking from some books to sit back and read, grab up all three, get a glass of your favorite cold beverage, put your feet up and enjoy!!!!!

Book Review of "Safe In His Arms" by Renee Rose

Safe In His Arms is a steaming hot novella that packs a lot of punch into what amounts to just over 100 or so pages.

Becca meets Zac over the weekend of her sister's wedding and she winds up having a weekend fling with someone she believes is a Marine.  After that steamy weekend, she finds out that Zac went off to war and was killed.  Shortly after, she finds out she's pregnant.

Fast forward seven years and we find Becca coming home from work to find her son's nanny in mortal combat with a man who is the man she believes died seven years before.

Becca finds out most of the truth, that Zac is a Black Ops agent, which means he doesn't actually exist anywhere.  But he has been watching over Becca and their son for all of these years.  Now he's back because he believes Becca and their son to be in danger.  It becomes difficult quickly for Zac to stay away from Becca and their son.  On the flip side, Becca and Zac's short-lived Dom/sub weekend are not forgotten and Becca's desires to have her Dominant man back in her life set off a lot of fires.

Overall, it's a really good little book.  If you don't mind reading sexual scenes containing BDSM, you'll probably enjoy the book.  The love story is good and it makes sense.  The decisions that Zac has to make over the course of the book and in the end are all natural and unforced.

The relationship between Zac and his son is sweet. And I like how Renee Rose writes these characters so that there is some tension between Becca and Zac when Becca is all like, "uh, excuse me, you show up after seven years and want to just be part of raising our son?"  How they work that out in the bedroom is something you just have to read for yourself.

I'm not a huge reader of Erotica but when combined with romance and when written tastefully, I do enjoy them.  The only thing I may have wanted (because I can't say I disliked it), was less of the spanking.  It seemed to get to where every sexual encounter was relentless punishment spanking and after a while it begins to feel like there's some abusiveness going on.  And it gets redundant after a while.  There is some non-consentual spanking that occurs as well and I didn't like it even though I knew prior to reading that it would be there.  Renee Rose writes it well so I was fine to just not like it and keep going.  The story around all of the spanking is why I kept reading  and why I liked the book.

If you like a good, well-written, hot, steamy, sexy, erotic story with romance and spies, you'll like this book.

Publisher’s Note: Safe in His Arms is an erotic romance novel that includes both consensual and non-consensual spankings, anal play, graphic sexual scenes, and more. If such material offends you, please don’t buy this book.
