To Trick a Hacker
The key to her heart is buried beneath her pain… but can she bring herself to face it?
She thought he’d stay dead – but now he’s returned to finish what he started. When expert hacker Dylan discovers an old foe still alive and kicking, her long-buried trauma is brought crashing to the surface. When a situation is hopeless, Dylan is the one to call… but this time, she’s the one in danger.
Owen Sorenson is Purgatory’s dark knight. Beneath this Navy SEAL’s mesmerizing blue eyes and charming smile lies a hardened war machine ready to do battle for her. Dylan’s tormented heart is untouchable… but will the tempting warrior be enough to coax her from her shell and heal her scars?
On the run and desperate to catch a killer who refuses to stay in the grave, Dylan will be forced to tear open old wounds and accept the help of the forbidden SEAL. But can she bring herself to trust again? Or will she forever be haunted by the monster who tortured her all those years ago?

Another great book!
India Kells has done it again - she has written a marvelous book filled with suspense and romance, full of action. As always, the female protagonist Dylan is strong and capable, just the way we want her to be, as is Owen...
I have enjoyed all the books in this trilogy, but I think this is my favorite! I wish it didn't end now, but hopefully, the author has another book coming soon...

Once again the author has managed to make me travel in a universe full of action and suspense. Of this trilogy it's the story where I identified myself the most with the main character. The strength and vulnerability of Dylan and the protective side of Owen during this adventure made it impossible for me to stop reading. I loved knowing the whole Sorenson family and I hope it opens the door to a sequel. Congratulations India!

This is the 3rd book in The Women Of Purgatory Series. I have to say India Kells has outdone herself. I loved the first two books but this was my favourite. It is non-stop,action from the start. Will Dylan be able to face her past and find a future. Will Owen be able to convince the stubborn woman that he wants to protect her and maybe be part of that future.
You will have to read it to see but the action, and chemistry between these two is of the charts. Owen is a sexy alpha and Dylan is strong but vulnerable. I also love the peripheral characters, especially Owens brothers.
I can't wait to see what India Kells writes next.

Once again, India Kells scored high with her third book in her Women of Purgatory Series. Definitely her best work so far. It was a pleasure to meet Dylan, a strong-headed hacker carrying a burden that very few people could bear. Forced to team up with the third and youngest Sorenson brother to face the unthinkable when her past comes back haunting her. Looks like not only Dylan will have to deal with her inner demons along the path. The story is well built and we can see the evolution of the characters. Even though this third book is darker than the previous ones, India managed successfully to blend in a brand of humour. Who could have said that putting three Navy SEALs together would lead to hilarious moments? I did not want it to end; I wanted to know more about what happens next to every character. Please India, do not make it your last Purgatory story. If you are looking for a great suspense with steamy moments and touch a humour, To Trick a Hacker is your pick!

I have loved the previous books in this series, but this one is by far my favorite! I love the suspense, the action, the strength, the vulnerability, the passion. The strength these Women of Purgatory possess, it makes me want to be a stronger woman!
Dylan is so full of strength, vulnerability, love and passion.....its just so far buried under the scars she bears that she doesn't believe she possesses those characteristics anymore. Add a strong sexy Seal to the mix.......one who doesn't care about her scars and is going to stand by her thru it all. I want my own Owen after reading this book!!
I sure hope there will be more books in this series because I need more Dylan & Owen in my life!!

Exciting Story With Deep Character Development!
This book is an excellent stand alone, but Dylan’s character is so intriguing, I must go back and learn more of her past. As a homicide detective, she was the sole survivor of a sadistic serial killer who left her deeply scarred in every way.
She has been living underground, working as a hacker for a secret organization and trying to heal her wounds. When a copycat killer appears, Dylan knows she is the only one with the skills to bring this psychopath to justice.
The plot is full of action, deep emotional context, and lessons on the resilience of the human spirit. If you like a strong female lead overcoming unimaginable psychological and physical damage to outwit all her enemies, this book series is for you!

Awkward writing worth plowing through
I'm not sure if the author is not a native English speaker or what, but this book is rife with missing, wrong, or awkward words, like Google translate couldn't handle the job, or something. The writing is otherwise fairly sophisticated. I nearly have up on reading this after reading just a small portion, but I'm glad I soldiered through because the story and characters were complex and entertaining. I'm not sure if I'd read more books by this author, but if you to can get past issues that a good editor would hopefully catch, I think this book is worth the read.

Wow!
Dylan, aka Dogberry, has been carved up by a serial killer. She was saved by Beatrice, who put a bullet in the psycho’s head. Now someone is after Dylan again. Whoever it is knows all about what Dylan went through even things not released to the public. Beatrice sends in a Sorenson Brother...Owen. He’s the quiet type and he and Dylan connect. This was an exciting read full of action, heat, laughs and tears.

TO TRICK A HACKER is a highly engaging romantic suspense. The drama surrounding Dylan and Owen's hunt for their adversary becomes more captivating and tense as the story develops. Include a love story full of emotion and just the right amount of passion, and you have a tale that will keep you hooked from the beginning to an ending that satisfies all your good feels.
