Jamie Sobrato has dreamed of being a writer ever since composing her first bad poetry at the age of 8. Now that she’s seen 18 of her novels published in the US and around the world, she’s grateful for those grade school teachers who had the grace not to cringe at her early efforts. Originally from Louisville, Kentucky, Jamie now lives in Northern California, where she is at work on her next book. When she’s not writing, she is usually reading, hiking, or hanging out with her two kids.
It really just felt a bit silly in the end, but was a quick enough read. The idea that the main characters just forget all their history in a snap and everything is fine... just hard to believe
Competent romance about a former teenage computer hacker and an ex-FBI agent who's been shadowing her for ten years, looking for evidence to justify sending her into juvenile detention.
Although the story unfolds smoothly with good dialogue, the characters are on the two-dimensional side and the attempt to weave in a second, parallel romance between the heroine's BFF and a workmate, though interesting at first, results in a disastrous narrative stumble when the heroine's desperate escape from a gun-wielding rogue FBI agent segues into another petal-pretty episode of the secondary romance.
My copy of the book was published under the Harlequin Blaze imprint, but the sex scenes, though plentiful and varied, were hot rather than blazing.
Yasmine was a teenage hacker who got caught. She has learned her lesson since her wild years though, and is determined to live the good girl life now. Unfortunately the FBI doesn't buy it, and sends an undercover agent to her workplace to catch her in illegal computer acts. First, yay for a geeky protagonist. More yays that it's a story about a female hacker, that's a whole bunch of awesome.
Unfortunately I always dislike it when the people in uniform fall for their suspects - it always makes me doubt their competence.
Once I got past the rather disturbing fact that Alex had wanted Yasmine since she was 16 (him being almost 10 years older at that time) and that he basically stalked her for 10 years after that to the present...I actually enjoyed reading it, I also liked that the author wove in the added romance going on with Yasmines best friend Cass. So as soon as you're bored reading about one, you have the other that picks it back up
Plot was so-so, muddled by sub-plot with the heroine's bff. The plot was obvious and I felt a bit disappointed that the bad-guy was so obviously signposted.Also - it was slightly creepy that the hero had been lusting after the heroine since she was 16 (and he was in the FBI)
