Deadlock is my first book by Cherrie Lynn, but it won't be my last.  Ms. Lynn has delivered a well-written book.  The characters are fabulous and are my favorite part of the book.  Lindsey's twin sister is missing.  She has one text from her sister telling her she's in trouble and for her to go to a certain address for help.  Jace hated Lena after she got him tossed out of MIT.  When Lindsey arrives looking like Lena Jace doesn't believe her and sends her on her way.  Jace and Lindsey's story is packed with drama, action, humor, sex and suspense.  I enjoyed every page of this book and hope to read more from Cherrie Lynn soon.  Deadlock is book 1 of the Hacker World Series but can be read as a standalone.  This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger.  But there is a really good hook that will make you want to buy the next book in the series in the epilogue.  

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book that I received from NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Slow starter. Story picked up about a fourth of the way in. Intrigue, angst and a little mayhem follow. There is romance buried amongst the anger, blame, mistrust and tribulations. Over the top, but not a bad read. 

Meredith/Meri   was on her third beer when the moaning started. Someone on the balcony above her was getting it or about to. Ordinarily Meri would think of herself as a moral person and would have excused herself and left the couple to their pleasure. But her inner moral person was muted thanks to the alcohol. Sexual frustration had turned Meri into a perv. Cameron Moore/Cam was an ever present fantasy. But he was her brother Dane’s lifelong best friend her been the permanent fixture further back then Neri could remember. But she didn't; want to think about Cameron This was supposed to be a fun filled friend-packed vacation on the beach. But Meri felt melancholy. Insomnia was a familiar if unwelcome companion of hers. Despite not wanting to think about Cam, he invaded Mari's thoughts. He was always there , in just about every conversation, at every get together , he was on this vacation also. Cam was a personal trainer he all but lived in the gym. Tattoos were on his arms and torso. Then she realized the guy having sex above her was Cam. Meredith wished she wasn’t the kind of person whose emotions were on her face. Alyssa was Meri’s best friend. Beside friendship there had never been anything between them. But that didn’t matter she had always wanted Cam, but she was afraid later when she seen him,he’d see the heartache. Cam couldn’t keep going on like this hurting himself and hurting others. Meredith was the reason he drunkenly  sought relief as it was her he really wanted. Dane;s little sister ad he would lose Dane who he loved as a brother.

I loved this book. I loved Cam and Meri together. I loved how much of a friend Alyssa was to Meri and always had her back and gave her the strength to go after what she wanted . I loved the ending . I happily found nothing to criticize in this book. I loved the characters and the ins and outs of this book. I highly recommend it.

It’s a vacation Meredith Taylor will never forget. A sunny beach, good friends and good times. But when she overhears a couple having a passionate interlude on the balcony above her one night, she can’t get the man’s sultry voice out of her mind. Especially when she figures out exactly who that man is…

Cameron Moore always had an eye on his best friend’s little sister but considered her strictly off limits, choosing to satisfy his lust elsewhere. Now Meri seems to want to annihilate every wall Cam’s put up against her. The beach is hot, the drinks are cold, Meredith is irresistible, and something has to give. Will it only be the walls between them, or their hearts as well?

So Zane has a painful connection to Rowan and her unborn baby. Zane has done everything he wanted and finds his escape through his music as Zane has a dark past with his mother that still affects him even now.

Surprisingly Rowan is attracted to Zane also. Rowan starts to care for Zane although she can’t understand what he sees in her . Zane decides to invite Rowan to go on tour with him and the band. Rowan is torn between the family she has left and Zane but she decides to go with Zane on tour. Zane wants to be there for Rowan when she has to find the strength to let go of her grief and fight back against everyone and everything pulling them apart. Rowan feels cherished and adored by Zane and feel comforted when with him. But Rowan also feel s guilty about developing feelings for Zane. Rowan doesn’t want more complications but she also doesn’t want to give Zane up. I liked this book a lot but there were things I didn’t care for. I would have liked for Rowan and Zane’s relationship take a lot longer to build she had only been a widow for four months as well as being pregnant by her dead husband Tommy. But I still found this a good sweet read. I love how Zane was with Rowan. I want A Zane. I didn’t like how her mother and law and Savannah pressured Rowan she is after all pregnant. Especially since Rowan’s feelings are all in a turmoil at it is. I do think Zane should have waited to ask Rowan out and just remain friends for a while and give Rowan a chance to feel as well as have her child. But I did love the romance is this book and I did love Zane. I felt he really made this story. I loved the characters and the ins and outs of this story and I recommend.
