Norcross Security #5
The Hacker
She’s accidentally pregnant and someone is trying to kill her…and now her one-night-stand is her fierce protector.
Helicopter pilot Maggie Lopez is focused on building her helicopter and drone photography business—and she has the loans to prove it. She takes one night off to trade her jeans for a designer dress, and attend a fancy gala…and ends up spending a very steamy night with her panty-melting crush—Ace Oliveira. He’s tall, sexy, and the guru of all things tech at Norcross Security.
She wasn’t supposed to fall in lust, or fall in love, and she really wasn’t supposed to fall pregnant.
Ace Oliveira’s life is just how he likes it. After years protecting his country at the NSA, he now puts his special computer and hacking skills to good use at Norcross Security. He gets paid well. Has good friends. Enjoys the hell out of his carefree bachelor lifestyle. Relationships and kids are not on the cards for him—ever. He has his reasons.
But then feisty, saucy Maggie—who snuck out of his bed like a thief—drops a bombshell.
Before they can even process the surprise pregnancy, it becomes clear someone is trying to kill Maggie. A series of deadly accidents are all centered on her, and Ace will do whatever it takes to keep her safe. With the men of Norcross at his side, he’ll track down a killer, fight his own demons, and convince skittish, independent Maggie to fall in love with her baby’s daddy.

This was book was action packed! I loved the action and the fact that Ace and Maggie were both trying to wrap their heads around the fact that they were having a baby and that they wanted to be with each other.
I'll admit, this is my first by this author, so I jumped in on this series on book 5. Did I feel like I was missing anything? A little. The side characters were in here and it made me wonder about their stories. But truly, you can jump in here and be alright because Ace and Maggie's story is focused on them.
I'll be going back and reading more from this series :)

Absolutely enjoyed this book!!
Maggie and Ace were one power couple. They both served the country, are loyal to their friends and amazing m. And a what a fantastic friend group they have. I loved those scenes. Maggie’s baby shower was such fun. The mystery in this book was a hit too and as usual action scenes were bomb.
I love books with many different and versatile characters and it’s a bonus that so many already have their own story. And many new characters were introduced th.🥳🥳!!!
Can’t wait for Vander’s book. He is a total badass.
Recommended and safe.

Definitely edge of the seat stuff here with a fast paced story that just sucks the reader in. I loved Maggie and her dreams of being her own boss and even though she's clearly knocked for six to discover she's expecting the baby of the man of her dreams she doesn't let it phase her.
Ok lets be honest and say that Ace doesn't exactly respond well when he finds out he is about to become a father but that beautiful man very quickly steps up and besides he really does want Maggie in his life.
Yes this sexy couple really are made for each other but Maggie has a problem that really isn't going away but with Ace and the rest of the Norcross gang on the case you just know that this will eventually end happily.
A book that made me smile but also one that had me wanting to shake a certain relative although I think Ace won that war for me. I do find these stories very entertaining and yes I admit a little crazy but it all adds to the fun.

So this book got me out of a book funk and I appreciate that! The writing style was interesting and the story was, as well. The end kind of wound up in Cheeseville, but that's okay. 4 stars

On its own, this book is probably one of my least favorites of the series. But it does help to tie the whole series together overall. Especially with the addition of the billionaires series that came in between the end of book 4 and the start of this book. Maggie and Ace or just OK together. It was hard to feel too much of a connection either of them or their love story because he didn’t really get a lot of their love story. There was a lot of action and drama in this book that distracted from what should’ve been a story of them being able to fall for each other. Plus this book seems to try to lump Maggie in with the other women of the series when it seems like she probably would’ve fit in better with the guys since she works directly with them. I missed seeing her as a part of team Norcross. In this book she was more Ace’s possession and the rest of the team’s little sister who needed coddling and protecting. But we know her as the hot shot helicopter pilot who gets them out of hairy situations. It would’ve been nice to see that Maggie in this book. Also, a lot of what happened seemed to just be really improbable. You had to suspend disbelief a lot more than usual in this book.
But to be honest, this book was mostly a distraction because I have been waiting since book one to read Vander’s book. And this book was unfortunately just the book I had to get through in order to get to Vander’s book.

Maggie and Ace have been sort of dancing around one another in the background of previous books and HOO-BOY they don't disappoint. They both have issues they need to deal with and there are bad guys to thwart and smoldering kisses that steam up the pages. It's great.
They also have a surprise pregnancy. One which Ace doesn't deal all that well with when he first finds out (to be fair, it was sort of dropped on him, he realized he'd reacted poorly pretty much as soon as he said what he said, and he was quick to turn himself around and support Maggie in the way she needed to be supported. So, yeah, he reacted badly, but sometimes that happens). Seeing as Maggie is part of the Norcross team, all the Norcross men get a little protective of her when the truth comes out, too. Which is kind of funny when they're all doing the glaring thing at Ace.
Beyond the wee surprise, Maggie is also dealing with some bad guys on her tail. Having Ace as her bodyguard while they try to figure out the whos and whys of said bad guys is both good and bad. Good because Maggie has it bad for the guy and bad because Maggie doesn't want to have it bad for the guy. Regardless, being forced to spend time together has those lusty feelings deepening into something more.
A little danger, a lot of steam, a hair-raising helicopter ride or two, and the power of the Norcross team. Good stuff all around.

The Hacker- Ace and Maggie
Nice! Not too long, quick, fast-paced read, entertaining until the end.
We meet the Norcross Security Team starting with book 1. Each book is about a different teammate and all are interconnected.
Ace is The Hacker. His job is to do anything and everything with IT and to get the information needed, no matter how he needs to get it.
Maggie we meet throughout the series. She doesn’t technically work for Norcross but she does a few jobs for them here and there when they need a pilot close by. She flies helicopters and sometimes helps with some dangerous tasks and then runs her business of tours and drone photography.
Maggie has liked Ace for sometime but being that she works so closely with NS team, they are all just friends. However, in book 4, Maggie and Ace help out and end up having a steamy night together. Due to that night, they will forever be tied together in a certain way. When Maggie finds herself in danger, Ace now has an additional reason to keep her safe.
Like stated, this and the series so far, are fast-paced reads full of excitement. The other NS teammates pop in and out from time to time, as well as their partners. Good reads!

The Hacker is first book of Anna that I've read and it is a scorcher! This is the 5th book of the series and its Ace and Maggie's story. Maggi and Ace are both working for NORCROSS Security. Maggie is a helicopter pilot and Drone photographer, Ace is a Tech at Norcross Security. Maggie is strong, Independent woman and a go getter who find herself pregnant after an explosive night with her long time crush Ace. That night changes their relationship, after a few misunderstandings shock worn off things start happening and Ace does everything he can to protect Maggie from the people that are after her. He has his hang-ups about relationships and you get to know why Ace wasn’t planning on being a father, but he isn’t going to leave Maggie in the lurch, and he is definitely not going to let someone kill her. They work through their issues and are stronger together as a couple. I just love the way Ace protected Maggie, he is such a hero!

I am still enjoying the books in this series of inter-connected standalones of romantic suspense, slightly military and action packed. Each book features a different trope. This one was a pregnancy trope ( not a spoiler).

No demasiado largo pero tampoco demasiado corto y con suficientes detalles para una historia entretenida. Aunque hubo partes que no tenían mucho sentido para mí y era obvio lo que iba a pasar, estuve lo suficientemente involucrada como para seguir leyendo hasta el final.

Series: Norcross Security #5
Rating: 3 stars - I liked it
Maggie Lopez thought the worst about finding out she was pregnant was figuring out how to work with a baby around her busy schedule. Instead, she has to deal with someone trying to kill her.
Maggie and Ace have had tension between them since they were introduced in this series. This book starts with Maggie realizing she is pregnant and trying to wrap her head around it. The surprise pregnancy trope is not one I usually enjoy but I actually enjoyed this book. Probably because this book started out with it from the very beginning and it wasn’t really a surprise to the reader.
Maggie was a great heroine. I enjoyed her spunk and determination to succeed. She was always cool under fire and wasn’t afraid to defend herself even though she was pregnant. I like that she didn’t just turn into a weak fool once she found out she was going to have a kid. Ace was a protective alpha male. I liked him and his family. These two made a good couple and I think they will be great parents.
Overall, this was a good romantic suspense story for this series. I am still eagerly waiting for Vander’s story. Also I enjoyed the bonus epilogue where we get to see these two as parents.
Trigger Warnings: Brief references to Ace’s brother’s drug overdose. Maggie’s father is constantly putting her and women in general down with constant old fashioned views and attitudes; explosions; gun violence; kidnapping; physical abuse; murder;

3.5 stars - Overall, I enjoyed it but found myself stepping away from the book a couple times. I liked Maggie and Ace and their story. I'm not usually a fan of unplanned pregnancies in books but I liked how this one played out. Some of the aspects of the suspense storyline struck me as unrealistic, but I guess that was the point because
There is a slight tease for Vander's story at the end and I can't wait for his book. I've been anxious for his story since the beginning of the series.

In the previous book, Maggie (ex-Navy, she owns her own flight business and does work for Norcross) and Ace (the tech guru for Norcross) had a hot hookup at the ball. They've had an attraction for awhile. But, the hook-up has a complication. Maggie gets pregnant.
Accidental pregnancy is one of my least favorite tropes. Both Maggie and Ace appeared in previous books and I was happy to learn more about each one and get their story. This does open for Vander's book (but isn't a cliffhanger like some the previous entries have been).

The Hacker is book 5 in the Norcross Security series by Anna Hackett. Maggie Lopez had a one-night stand and never thought that she would meet the father again. However, that's what happens when someone tries to kill her: Ace Oliveira, the baby's father, became her bodyguard. Due to Ace Oliveira's childhood, he never thought he would be a father or find someone to love. Still, he jumped to help Maggie Lopez with his friends at Norcross Security when someone tried to kill her. Readers of The Hacker will continue to follow Ace Oliceira and Maggie Lopez as they discover what happens next.
The Hacker is a fantastic book to read and an excellent addition to Anna Hackett's fantastic series. I learnt about being a Helicopter pilot and the role of drones for photographers. I also understand the role of Hackers in law enforcement investigations. I engaged with the story and the characters from the first page and continued to the end.
I love Anna Hackett's portrayal of her characters and the way they interact with each other throughout this book. The Hacker is well-written and researched by Anna Hackett. I appreciate Anna Hackett's description of the settings in The Hacker, which enabled me to envision myself as part of the book's plot.
I recommend this book.

Loved it

This book was so much better than I expected Maggie and Ace were just the best couple with their personalities clashing in the best possible way. The spice, the mystery and how much Ace just isn’t bothered by hacking into every system he comes across

I loved Ace & Maggie’s story. Their story takes you on one heck of a rollercoaster ride with twists and turns galore.

I enjoyed reading this book, it's entertaining and filled with action and adventure. Maggie and Ace and the rest of the Norcross group rush to stop someone from killing Maggie. I can't wait for more from this author. I received this book 📚, as a FREE ARC copy to read and I voluntarily leave this review.

Yeah… no.
That was, in a word, boring. Maggie was irritating to the extreme, Ace just felt like a playboy who should be in therapy, and the people trying to kill her felt like caricatures.
Honestly I'm irritated with myself for reading it. The setup is the exact opposite of stuff I enjoy so I don't know why I picked this up to begin with. We do get to see Hackett setting up future books for us. We're obviously getting some the cops brothers books and a new Security firm will probably get their own series as well. Hopefully with some better books than the Norcross series.
Reread this and honestly I think its the pregnancy angle. As a general rule, I don't care for romance books that have a kid in them and I guess that extends to fetuses too. I think its because I don't believe you should try to partner up with someone if you have an accidental pregnancy off a one night (drunken) stand with them. because that kid should be the focus and a broken relationship does not set that kid up for success. I know its a romance, happily ever after will happen. It just weirds me out.

Baby on Board
Ace and Maggie are firstly and a great match. Their character skill sets are different but perfectly suited for this series and how independent they are. The chemistry has been present in all the books when they interact and now their story shines a light on their journey to HEA. The story is fast paced and does a great job of including all of Norcross (hello Vander!!!!), the two brothers (I hope we get a story on each) and family. There is action, crime solving, romance and humor in this story and series. Can’t wait for the next book!

The chemistry has been present in all the books when they interact and now their story shines a light on their journey to HEA. The story is fast paced and does a great job of including all of Norcross (hello Vander!!!!), the two brothers (I hope we get a story on each) and family. There is action, crime solving, romance and humor in this story and series. Can’t wait for the next book!
