College student Allison Trent is a busy girl. When she isn't working on her degree, she is using her skills to hack into banks to ensure that people's hard-earned money isn't being stolen out from under them. When FBI Agent Liam Scott learns about Allison's computer skills, he believes she would be the perfect candidate to figure out who is leaking top secret FBI information. The only problem is Allison wants nothing to do with the FBI.

This is the 13th book in Garwood's Buchanan-Renard series and a big disappointment. Liam is a carbon-copy of the heroes in Garwood's last few books. He is enthralled with the heroine; but tells her up front that he wants no commitment. Each time they have sex, he disappears without a word for weeks. Then, near the end of the book, he decides that he is in love with her. The character of Allison is even worse. She is a self-sacrificing doormat who puts up with him. She is the hackers answer to Robinhood, who finds stolen money and returns it anonymously to the FBI along with the evidence to convict the person who stole it. On the side, she is also a super model. We get to hear over and over and over again how beautiful she is. Why does she need a job as a super model? Because she must support her deadbeat aunt and uncle along with their criminal son. She is also a TSTL heroine. After being told she is in danger and can go nowhere without her two FBI bodyguards, she decides that a solo trip to the pharmacy is not a problem.

Although Garwood's writing is highly readable, I couldn't get past the heroine putting up with her relative's actions or Liam's attitude. I hope the next book in the series is an improvement. My rating: 2 Stars.
