Impossible Mission Book 3
She’s in over her brilliant head…
Elizabeth “Izzy” Benson has the brains to rival some of the best IT minds out there. Unfortunately her genius is going to get her killed—or worse, tortured. The Artificial Intelligence drone she’s developed is drawing all the wrong kind of interest, and the one man she thought she could trust is the one man selling her out. Now on the run, she’ll have to roll the dice on a stranger—a very angry Marine—who makes it obvious he doesn’t believe her or want her around.
He’s not buying her innocent act.
Sten Jenkins was a Marine on a mission. That is until Miss High IQ ruined his plan. Now, instead of going undercover as a “Black Hat,” a criminal hacker, to the biggest hacker convention in Las Vegas, Sten has to babysit Izzy while she tries to draw out those who are selling her IT work on the dark web. But it all sounds a little too convenient to Sten when he realizes Izzy’s boyfriend is a global tech wizard, known to have dealings with North Korea.
Now Sten and Izzy will have to decide who’s playing whom and who’s being played in this high stakes game of international security roulette.
My Review:
I love a strong geek-girl as the female lead, especially when she’s paired with one of those military heroes I’m such a sucker for. Izzy is a computer genius and fiercely independent. She’s been caught in a situation that leaves her suspicious of everyone and unsure who she can trust. Sten has been captivated by the new tech prodigy since the moment she joined them. Now, she’s roused every protective instinct he has, but he’s not a good bet for anything long term. And despite her “don’t mess with me attitude”, Izzy has ‘long term’ written all over her. There are parts of this story that remind a little of Live Free or Die Hard, what with the whole cybercriminal bent on world domination. There are also moments that make me flash to Showtime, though not with the same comedic effect. This story led me through a rabbit warren of twists and turns, filled with secrets and surprises. I want to read everything that’s ever written in this series. I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book through Hidden Gems Books.
