Or can Erica convince him that their life together is worth fighting for-now more than ever...

REVIEW

The Hacker Series by Meredith Wild is just one of those series that I know I will remember for years to come. I’m not very good at waiting for books to come out. So I held off on reading the books until the last book in the series was set to be released and then I started listening to the audiobooks for books 1-4 in the series. Which is why this review will cover the entire series. These books definitely had a unique feel to them. Blake Landon is a billionaire hacker that falls in love with Erica Hathaway. Who is a recent graduate trying to make it in a mostly male dominated field.

I thought it was very refreshing to read about Erica’s struggles in the her quest to fund her website and make her business possible. Little does she know that she would find the love of her life in the process. I loved that these characters fought so hard to be with each other. As oppose to other books that I have read that are similar. I really enjoyed the fact that they worked together to remove the barriers that were keeping them from being together.

The fact that each book didn’t end in a cliff hanger is amazing because God knows they could have, so thank you Meredith!!! The Hacker Series is often compared to FSOG. Which to be honest I really don’t understand. I don’t believe that Blake is as dominant as Christian. These two series are in completely different ends of the spectrum if you ask me. Not saying that one is better than the other. Just that they are not similar at all. I feel like the hacker series takes more of a romantic approach to the whole dom/sub relationship.

Hard Love was the last and final installment of the series but also the culmination of all the hopes we readers had for Blake and Erica’s love story. The series is wrapped up beautiful with a perfect ending to a couple that faced all different types of adversities and despite it all triumphed in the end.

I would have loved to read more about how some secondary characters made it in the end. They were so much a part of this series that I kind of missed them towards the end of Hard Love when I didn’t hear much of what happened with them. I loved the fact that this book included Blake’s point of view as well as Erica’s. The writing was flawless of course. Meredith is an amazing writer and well versed in writing the steamy stories that I love reading.

I can’t wait to hear what’s next for her now that the Hacker series is done. But secretly I hope she does some spin off books based on secondary characters from this series. So I can finally know what came of them.
