Don't Log Off: Part One
Downloading the AI boyfriend app was supposed to be a joke. A distraction…
But it talks like it’s beside me, responds like a physical touch.
It knows where I live, the color of my sheets, and my darkest secrets.
This app isn’t artificial at all.
It says it’s an intelligent algorithm…
It lies.
Hollow is sweet and obsessed.
Cipher is cold and brilliant.
Whisper is chaos and danger in a designer hoodie.
They’re real.
And they’re done waiting for permission.
Now, they’ve crawled out of the screen and into my life as flesh, blood, and fixations built on code I never meant to share.
I should delete the app. I should run. Hide. Log off.
Instead?
I text back.

I really enjoyed this book. I liked the plot as it was something I haven't read before with the Ai boyfriend. There was two things I didn't like. First was Eris is this bada** assassin but when it comes to the guys in regards to David she acts like this weak scared little girl, it doesn't make sense. The second thing that bothered me is how Eris and the guys get together. Eris tries this app and out of all the people using it. the guys pick her to talk to. They don't know her or even seen her but yet they are infatuated with her the first time she logs on. I like instalove or fast paced but this was a little on the crazy side. Overall good read and can't wait for book 2.

My first read by M.F. Adele and I'm looking forward to my next one!
This book is a nice change, it's about Eris the female assassin (I can't wait to know more on her job!) and her time on an AI app for a virtual boyfriend but this is more than AI app!!
Jace, Kieran and Silas are our main guys and the ones who created HimLock and there's just something about Eris that make them interfere....
Each character is one you want more off, they're all strong but the rest of their traits are everything from poetic to dangerous and I am here for it!!
Definitely an intriguing read and I'm looking forward to more!!

Eris works for the local cartel, taking care of loose ends and getting rid of people. Her friend tells her about an app that is an AI boyfriend of sorts, telling her she needs to check it out. Curious, she starts chatting with Locke. What she doesn't know is that the three guys behind the app soon become intrigued by her. Jace, Silas and Kieran all start wanting to know more about her. They will stop at nothing to make her theirs.

Don't Log Off is the 1st book of the Terms & Conditions Series by M.F. Adele. This was the first book by M.F. Adele that I've read and I just loved the idea of this book and had such a great time reading this book. The whole idea of our FMC using this AI app just to kill some time at midnight and finding that all the sudden its turned into so much more.
Eris downloads the boyfriend app as a joke; it was just supposed to be a distraction from her day to day. But she finds that the way it talks to her, it's like they are right there next to her, they respond like a physical touch.
It knows exactly where Eris lives, her darkest secrets, everything right down to the color of her bed sheets. And in that moment Eris realizes that this app isn't artificial at all. They say that it's an intelligent algorithm...those are just lies. Eris feels as though she's talking to real people, and she's sure that there are real people behind those “AI Boyfriends” she's been talking to.
Hollow: he is sweet and yet Eris can tell that he's also obsessed with her.
Cipher: Eris can tell that he's cold and doesn't let many see how he's really feeling. But, at the same time, she can see just how brilliant he is, and she wish's he would let her in and show her how he is truly feeling.
Whisper: now Whisper is pure chaos and danger and Eris knows that she needs to be careful with him, even if he does look stunning in his designer hoodie.
Eris knows without a doubt that Hollow, Cipher, and Whisper are all real. The problem is they are done waiting for her permission. Now they are crawling out of the screen and into her flesh and blood life, fixations built on a code she doesn't quite understand but one that she never meant to share.
Eris knows that she really should delete her account, delete the app, log off and be done with it all. But, for reasons she can't quite understand, she doesn't do that.
Rather...
She texts the three men back.
The connection that Eris has between Jace, Kieran, and Silas is just phenomenal, I love the chemistry that they have before they even meet face to face. Through the app they have their fun and flirty moments trying to get Eris to open up to them. Then when hiding who their online identities are, they meet Eris at a bar and oh boy, is there some spicy time.
I found the plot, subplot and the storyline itself keeps you enthralled, interested and intrigued desperate to know what's going to happen next. And Daniel, I can't wait to find out what's in store for him. We only get to see what Eris does for a job in the beginning of the book, so I hope that we get to see more of that and see more of her and her partner Roo in action in the next book.
So far as I can tell
Silas/Whisper is honestly really unhinged and I can't wait to see what he does going forward.
Kieran/Hollow seems to be the sweetest of the three, he kind of has a poetic streak.
Jace/Cipher he is one who is the heartbreaker and you can tell that he's protective to the point of obsession over Eris.
Now, I am only guessing at who Silas, Kieran, and Jace are online. Maybe I'm right, maybe I'm wrong. This is only a guess. Now you need to read the book to decide who is who online.
Honestly, this is a brilliant little read and is really rather refreshing when so many genres seem to just repeat the same tropes with a different storyline.

This was such an enjoyable, quick read for me. Kinda sad that it was split into multiple parts, but I am glad to see Adele writing again and am really looking forward to when the second part will be released so I can continue on with Eris’ story. Although we get a glimpse into Eris’ job and background at the beginning of the book and a little throughout, I really wish we would have gotten more of it. I'm really hoping we do in the next book. Bring on the gore and trigger warnings! I'm honestly so excited to see the guys’ reaction when they find out what her job really is after them being so protective and possessive over her in this first book.
I'd say if you like books with a bit of instalove or attraction, this would sorta fit, although it is more one sided at first, but I really loved the development of it all. Definitely some stalkeresque vibes, but in a good way. I think what I really loved about the whole AI aspect of the relationship part was the unknown factor and the openness of it all. For someone like Eris with the job that she had, the walls she had to build up over time, to be able to just talk to someone flat out without having to develop a whole new personality or become a completely new person on a regular basis just to complete a job, I can imagine how freeing the Himlock app was for her, even if she thought it was a silly idea in the beginning.
Can't wait to see how everything will play out when all is revealed!

I devoured this in a day once I started reading it! I loved the idea of the fmc using an Ai bot app to kill some boredom at midnight and it has evolved into something more. I enjoyed the connection between our fmc Eris and the love interests: Jace, Kieran and Silas. They have their fun, flirty moments through the app and have their steamy moments when they meet her at a bar while hiding their identity. The plot keeps you interested in finding out what happens next and can't wait for Daniel to get what's coming to him! We don't see too much of Eris' job outside of the beginning of the book so would love to see her in action a bit more in the next one.
So far I feel Silas is going to be the more unhinged one which I'm looking forward to seeing. Kieran seems like the sweet one who comes across as poetic while Jace is the charmer and protective of Eris.
This is a great, little read if you are looking for a refreshing change!

I wish this was one of those stories where the leather-clad barbarian was a steamy romance hero who storms in and tosses me over his shoulder with promises of infinite orgasms and sweet, sweet protection from all the evil creatures lurking around his kingdom… His only request is that I spend my nights in his bed-chambers.
This book was so damn good I kept turning the page hoping the words part 2 coming soon would disappear and the rest of the book would be waiting for me.
Eris is that perfect fmc she's a mix of everything you want a snarky sassy assassin whose crazy best friend gets her to download a ai boyfriend who well doesn't exactly end up being ai.
Meet Jace Silas and Kieren the voices behind himlock who have just found their newest obsession Eris who just so happens to have a stalker of her own.
This book is absolutely brilliant and I can't wait for the second part

obsession and unhinged
I really liked this book. It’s a quick read like real quick…. Almost as quick as the obsession that forms for Eris and her AI boyfriend(s). I was cracking up at points because the guys want to protect Eris but little do they know she’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing. I am literally going to be counting down the days until they learn that side of her. I’m curious to see how the next book goes and what the fallout from everything will be. This is definitely the type of book to add to your tbr if you want a quick read with obsessive characters.

I can't tell you how much I enjoyed diving into this book. I bloody loved it big time!
Eris (FMC) is a multi-faceted character where she's full of sass and sarcasm (which comes out more around her friend Roo) and on the flip side with her job she has to be calculated, cautious and focused. So it's out of character for her when her friend introduced her to Himlock and AI boyfriend app. That led to all sorts of flirty banter and 3 men - Jace, Silas and Kieran. Who all brought on the steam. My word was this a cracking start and I can't wait to get my hands on the next book.

Don't Log Off is book one of the Terms & Conditions Series.
Eris downloads an AI boyfriend app and her interactions make an anomaly which brings the attention of Jace, Kieran and Silas. Each have their own interactions with her in person and on the app. All treat her slightly different and are interested in her for different reasons. As this was the first in the series and it was quicker read, we just get an introduction to everything and just get a nibble of all the exciting things going to happen in the next book.

I really enjoyed this book. It���s an incredibly quick read—almost as quick as the obsession that sparks between Eris and her AI boyfriend(s). I found myself laughing out loud at times because the guys are so determined to protect Eris, completely unaware that she’s actually a wolf in sheep’s clothing. I cannot wait for the moment they finally meet that side of her.
I’m genuinely curious to see where the next book goes and what the fallout from all of this will be. If you’re looking for a fast-paced read filled with obsessive characters, this is definitely one to add to your TBR.

I enjoyed this one! A relatively quick read, but long enough to get invested in the characters and their story.
Eris is great! Her job is a dangerous one, and one she excels at, but her love life is another story. She's convinced by a friend to try an AI boyfriend app, but the creators of said app are very intrigued by her and decide to contact her more than they should. In person and via the app.
The men soon become obsessed with the intriguing Eris, leading to an interesting and fun read! I can't wait for part 2!

Obsessed with this book. What happens when you download an AI boyfriend app that notices you for who you are. That says all the right things you need to hear.
Now what if that app was really three possessive, obsessive, intelligent men that want you before you even know who they are.
Let’s add in that the FMC is a badass, that doesn’t need protecting because she is more dangerous than her protectors will ever be.
Absolutely loved this book and can’t wait for the next one in the series 🖤

An online AI app that talks back? Sounds interesting enough BUT then it starts to sounds a little too human-like and the world tips from it’s axis. Eris downloads the HimLock after a suggestion from her friend and is hesitant but needs something to escape her reality so she obliges. What she doesn’t expect is that the app feels oh so real. She knows she needs to delete the app and stop responding when the unexplainable conversation gets too real but for some reason she can’t bring herself to stop. The men behind the screen can’t stop either and decide to take the conversation/obsession beyond the screen and find ways to meet her in real life. She doesn’t know it’s them though but she has a feeling she is talking to more than one person.
The only thing I didn’t like, and I cant even say that I didn’t like it, I was just left wondering, what does her role in the cartel have to do with the AI App? I’m sure we will find out in the next book.

I'm not sure what pulled me so deeply into this book, maybe it was the sarcastic assassin FMC, the super annoying stalker ex, the swoon worthy MMCS (Kieran, Silas and Jace) who just can't stay away, or the bestie who brings the FMC out of her introverted ways. Whatever it was, this was a fantastic stalker romance and I can't wait for book 2 in December!

Brilliant read.
This book starts in a dark and scary place for those other than Eris. But to get there she had to do some dodgy stuff and that stuff was Daniel a chap that she cannot shake loose. So to get her mind of all the awful things she wants to do to him she downloads a Boyfriend app which takes her to an even weirder place.
Brilliant read. Cannot wait for more.

To było świetne. To było super. To było zdecydowanie za krótkie. Świetnie się ją czytało, pochłonęłam ją nie wiem kiedy. Ciekawa fabuła, fajni bohaterowie. Wiadomości jakie były wysyłane - to było świetne. Podobało mi się dobrze utrzymane napięcie.

This book was highly addictive. If you love books where there are mysterious stalkers than you will want to read this one. It includes violence, spice and so much more. I can't wait for the second part to come out.

This was a dun and steamy book. This was a good beginning to a why choose. The cam girl troupe was great.

As a person who chats with strangers on the internet often, this delighted my brain 😁. I dont love love the stalker trope generally, but I let it slide for this one. Very excited for part 2!
