Hardwired- Meredith Wild After Reading

Erica Hathaway just graduated college and has a start up fashion website with her best friend Alli and another friend Sid. Her professor got her a board meeting with a friend of his, Max at Angelcom to try to get an investment so Erica could get the website off the ground.

What she didn't expect however, was to meet the mysterious and handsome Blake Landon. For Blake one night of passion led to him being captivated by Erica and he just had to see more of her.

In the boardroom he turned down her pitch which devastated her but Max picked her up. It was a decent day all together.

Neither of them expected things to get hot and heavy between them so fast. Erica had no choice but to tell Blake about her past. As a freshman in College, her and a few friends went to a frat party, it was there she was raped and just left in the bushes.

When she told him, the tears and the upset were there but so was the self-loathing. Erica actually couldn't believe that Blake still wanted her.

Blake himself has many issues and one of his quirks is control. Blake has to be dominant in the bedroom and for Erica he's learning to let go of some of his control in public.

It's something that they both have to get used to, especially when Blake says that he loves her. When he loves, he must protect and to go about that without controlling or stalking isn't something he knows how to do yet.

It's interesting to watch these two damaged people get to know and fall in love with each other. It's true that Blake used to be a hacker, part of a group called M89. He's made some enemies and Erica is messed up.

However, Erica is big on control for other reasons. She wants to control her own life mainly because she's fought to get that control back. Now Blake wants to take that away from her again in a different way. For Erica, this is still one of the most scariest things she's ever contemplated on doing.

They have to learn to trust each other or what they have will go down in flames.

Feel free to share any thoughts or comments you have on the book. I look forward to reading them :)

Hardwired by Meredith Wild

I decided to start with this book first in the long line of synopsis-es I need to post. I know that I haven't posted about it yet so no one can yell at me for repetition yet lol.

Now also remember this is only the synopsis, this way you can judge it for yourself before you get my input.

Synopsis:

"Determined to overcome a difficult past, Erica Hathaway learns early on to make it on her own. Days after her college graduation, she finds herself face to face with a panel of investors who will make or break her fledgling startup. The only thing she didn't prepare for was going weak in the knees over an arrogant and gorgeous investor who seems determined to derail her presentation,

Billionaire and rumored hacker Blake Landon has already made his fortune in software, and he's used to getting what he wants. Captivated by Erica's drive and unassuming beauty, he's wanted nothing more than to possess her since she stepped into his boardroom. Determined to win her over, he breaks down her defenses and fights for her trust, even if it means sacrificing a level of control he's grown accustomed to.

But when Blake uncovers a dark secret from Erica's past, he threatens not just her trust, but the life she's fought so hard to  create."

Now see I don't agree with the synopsis completely after reading the book.

However, I won't reveal anything yet. If you haven't read the book feel free to comment on what you think it'll be about or even if you have read it, share your feelings on it.
