Publisher's summary

Zora: I live a life of wealth and luxury. There isn’t anything I can’t have. Except my freedom. So I turned to the computer for friendship. And that’s where I met my match. More than my match. And when my life suddenly falls apart, he’s the one to find me. But he’ll also be the one to rip my heart in two.

Data: I’m not good with people. It’s why I stick to my computers. When my online partner and friend ends up in trouble, there’s no way I’m letting her go it alone. I was expecting a mature woman when I pulled up in front of her house. But the girl is barely 18. And I friggin’ want her. To make matters worse, she’s been targeted by elite members of global organized crime. I’m confident I can keep her safe from that danger. I’m less sure I can keep her safe from me. She’s already had one unwanted relationship with an older man. She doesn’t need a man like me. One who will rule her to make her mine. And kill anyone in my way to keep her safe.

Awesome Audiobook! Loved It

I've always loved the character Data when he has popped up in the other stories so to hear his story was wonderful. He is every bit the gentleman I thought he would be. His story was awesome and just what I hoped he would have in the end. He had to fight using his hacker skills some, but he gets a woman with hacker skills which is fitting for him. The book had good character development and worldbuilding and was wonderful to listen to as the narrator did a great job with each character to bring them to life. The storyline was perfect for this character and showed the MC as they have been in the past part of the series showing the tuff outer shell but inner tenderness. This is probably my favorite book so far out of the series. They get better each time but to top this one is going to be hard. This was an ARC and this is my honest review.

Quick listen

I like how this series is comprised of quick listens, they can be stand alone but are better in order as the series since they do expand upon each other. Overall I liked the progression of this one and the narration is done well.

unique

I have listened to a lot of mc audiobooks and when it first started by going Data and he would talk and someone else and they would talk, I was praying it wasn't like that all the way through the book.Thank you it wasn't. This story was very well narrated and written. it had your equal amount of romance and suspense.

Good story and performance

—-Narrator Review——-
Umi is clear and easy to understand. She does all of the voices well and I forget that she’s reading all of them. Nice job!

——-Story Review——-
MMC/FMC- Data and Zora
POV- 3rd person
Genre- MC Romance
Heat- they do the things after awhile and they name the parts.
Series? Y
Safety: No cheating/sharing, but attempted OM/OW drama and implied previous s. violence. No Cliffhanger, HEA.
Triggers- language, violence, explicit erotic content, implied past s. a. (Not Detailed).
Tropes- Damsel In Distress, Age Gap, Chatroom Chums, You’ve Got Mail, Instalove.
What I liked- I liked how competent both Data and Zora were with computers. It’s scary, what they could hack into 😳. Despite her young age, they seemed well matched. They seemed to belong together. Both were likable, and even when Data was all up in his head, I could understand why he was hesitant. The secondary characters were fun, especially Stunner and Susie. I’ve read previous books in the series and Susie and Stunner have been a delight in all of them (glittering beard and all). And it doesn’t shock me that Susie has mad hacking skills; she’s brilliant.
What I didn’t like- suddenly, I’m acutely concerned about cybersecurity…😳
Verdict- recommended

Data and Zora

This is Data and Zora’s story. Data is a member of the Bones MC. Zora is a married, has a wealthy spouse who is controlling. She desperately needs to get away. I liked where Data really debated on his age, before becoming romantically involved with Zora. Data, and his MC brothers, came to the rescue. The book is part of a series but is easily a stand-alone book. If you are reading the series, I recommend reading it in order. Each book brings back previous characters and introduces you to ones for future books. The story is well developed. The author can really bring these characters to life. The narration was well done.

Love it.

Have I told you how much I love this series? It is so addictive and I love the shock when Data realizes how young his girl is. In the end, it doesn't matter because love conquers all, but I am seriously addicted now and need more.

Xena's D

4.5 stars - Zora Hightower and Data... boy, I really like them together. First, there was the camaraderie, flirting, and genuine respect that they had built over a couple of years. Then, there was their first in-person meeting. Holy cannoli! Data being all possessive and stuff was hilarious! 🤣🤣

As sad as her situation started, I love where it ended. ❤️🔥🎉 She definitely deserved her happily ever after.

I must admit that as much as I enjoyed this one, I'm most definitely looking forward to the next book.

I received an author's copy of the audio book. The narrator is Umi Markkanen, who always does a good job with all of the characters.

3 1/2 Overall Stars

As is typical with very short books, I would have prefered a more fleshed out story; however, I chose to start this series at book 8, so I am not deducting any stars for this, since more background may have been provided in earlier books. Overall, the book was interesting and had a good ratio of romance to mystery. The narrator was unfamiliar to me but very good. I would give this read 3 1/2 stars, but I rounded up to 4, since I may have enjoyed it more if I had started with book 1 in the series.

Great Addition to the Series!

This is a series of interconnected stories. I like this series. Data and Zora's story is entertaining and fast-paced. Zora is smart and determined. Data is very handsome and protective. They are both interesting characters. This is a great age-gap romance. I liked the push and pull, and the suspense. The cast of supporting characters is impressive. Umi Markkanen did an outstanding job bringing the story to life. Looking forward to listening to Stunner, the next novella in the series. #StoryOrigin
