There's an internal leak at the agency and Liam needs her to hack their system and identify the source.

The story starts off really interesting with a very compelling history for Alliso ...more

Wired by Julie Garwood is a 2017 Berkley publication.

After a long absence between Julie Garwood novels, I picked this series back up not so long ago. I love romantic suspense, but the twelfth installment was only an okay read for me. I was hoping this one would make up for that.

Allison has a real knack for hacking computers, but despite the illegality of it, she only does it to right wrongs. She has also found success as a model, but her hard earned money all goes to her aunt and uncle who to Wired by Julie Garwood is a 2017 Berkley publication.

After a long absence between Julie Garwood novels, I picked this series back up not so long ago. I love romantic suspense, but the twelfth installment was only an okay read for me. I was hoping this one would make up for that.

Allison has a real knack for hacking computers, but despite the illegality of it, she only does it to right wrongs. She has also found success as a model, but her hard earned money all goes to her aunt and uncle who took her in after her parents died.

Working her way through college, Allison suddenly finds herself being strong armed into working for the FBI by Liam Scott.

Liam discovered there was a leak in his department, so he set out to find a top-notch hacker. Allison Trent is the definitely the woman for the job, but Liam is about to get much more than he bargained for.

This book got off on the right foot, has some real potential involving the FBI leak, and made use of some comical situations. I like offbeat, genius characters, and right at this moment in time, I could use a fast- paced story, with some quick -witted dialogue, and a unique plot line. But, for some reason, Allison frustrated me. She put up with Phillips, her cousin, Will, and her aunt and uncle for far too long. Liam was also a little bossy, and held Allison at arm's length emotionally, and I thought she deserved much better.

I wanted Allison to be more assertive, to stop taking crap off people, but the other parts of the story were pretty interesting. Allison has more than one threat thrown her way, and the way it came together added a little action and a few small twists to keep things interesting.

The chemistry between Liam and Allison was bland, sex based, without much romance or deep emotional connection, which is the same problem I took issue with in book twelve, if I’m remembering correctly.

So, once again, an okay read for this series. It did have some entertaining moments, and was a nice diversion from reality, which is always nice.

I've been a little surprised by some of the reviews I've read on this one because for me, it was definitely worth the long wait! I loved it just as much as my other favorites in the series.

I particularly liked Allison and thought she was a great character. Liam worked for me too. The premise of an FBI agent hiring a topnotch computer hacker really intrigued me, and I was very happy with the way the storyline played out. The book captured my attention immediately and held it throughout. I enjoye ...more

Wired by Julie Garwood is the 13th book in her Buchanan/FBI series. I am a big fan of Julie Garwood, and I am happy to say that I loved Wired. What makes this story fun to read, were the two lead characters, Allison Trent and Liam Scott. I loved both of them. The story line was also exciting, fun and with the two wonderfully likable characters, it was a fast fun read.

The story line was also exciting, fun and with the two wonderfully likable characters, it was a fast fun read.

Allison Trent, our heroine, is a college student by day, a part time model, and a hacker at night. Allison is a genius, and can find bugs, break viruses or stop hacks and writes her own security programs. Allison visits the FBI’s new cyber building with her friend Jordan , but while there she is approached by two men who want her to work for them to find a leak in the FBI.

Liam Scott, our hero, is an FBI agent, who has researched and discovered Allison. Liam does not work for the Cyber division, but he recognizes that Allison is the one who will be able to find the leak, which has been stopping some of their key investigations. At first Allison refuses, as they want a commitment of a year. She is also afraid that they will discover how easy it is for her to get into any computer system, even if she only fixes bugs, or helps find and return millions of dollars scammed from seniors. But Liam will arrange for Allison to have immunity, as they need her to work on this sensitive project, which thus far has been impossible.

As Liam slowly fights off his attraction to the smart, tough, beautiful Allison, he learns about her rough life. When Allison mother and father died years before; she and her sister were forced to live with their aunt and uncle. They used Allison to do modeling work, and would take all her money. They were really nasty people, who badgered her constantly with phone calls.

Rather than give spoilers, what follows is a wonderful story that blends an exciting storyline that threatens Allison, as well as the threats from her relatives; but it is also such a sweet romance that will develop between Allison and Liam. This was a fun story, and Allison was such a great heroine. Liam was also good, as he was always there for Allison, even when he was determined to not let his growing feelings change anything in his life.

Wired was a wonderful fast exciting, fun read, with a great couple, some humor and nasty villains. Julie Garwood once again gives us another wonderful enjoyable story.

The wait for this book was finally over!!!

I really enjoyed this book -- it had an interesting plotline and two wonderful characters with great chemistry. Poor Allison had so many threats looming over her and Liam was a terrific alpha male. Love Julie Garwood!
