Wired by Julie Garwood – Book Review



Wired by Julie Garwood – Book Cover
Wired by Julie Garwood
Author Julie Garwood is well known for her romantic suspense novels, particularly those featuring her continuing and recurring characters in the Buchanan family. Her latest in the series is Wired where a beautiful computer hacker (Allison Trent) has to collaborate reluctantly with a sexy hotshot FBI agent (Liam Scott).


Synopsis 


Allison has a brilliant mind for computers.  She loves to write code and has secretly been known to 'hack' into computers.  Before you condemn her for this behavior, you have to realize that she has only done it occasionally to help others who have been cheated by unscrupulous scammers and to 'right the wrong'.

FBI agent Liam Scott has discovered a serious problem ~ a deep leak within his own department leaking information about ongoing investigations. He needs a top-notch hacker unknown in his field to secretly break into the FBI computers and find the traitor. 

Allison is friends with Jordan (Buchanan) Clayborne, a genius in the technology field, whose husband and brother are both FBI agents and friends with Liam. With Jordan's help, Liam arranges to meet Allison and asks her to take on the job.  There is only one problem – Allison wants nothing to do with his job and turns him down.

Liam doesn't know that Allison is hiding her hacking secrets that she doesn't want the FBI to uncover.  She knows what she has done would be considered illegal by the FBI, even though she never benefited from her hacking and only helped others. 

How Allison's refusal to help is resolved, how she discovers the traitor and how romance blooms between her and Liam make for a very delightful story.

Author Julie Garwood
Julie Garwood was born in Kansas City and today lives in Leawood, Kansas. She married young and had three children. Julie was always interested in writing, but waited until her youngest child was in school before she began writing full time.  She has written many best-selling novels.  

One of her most popular novels, FOR THE ROSES, was adapted for a HALLMARK HALL OF FAME production. 

Ms. Garwood has written 27 novels of romance since 1985, either in the historical fiction field or that of suspense.  Her suspense novels usually involve one or more FBI agents.  In each of  her books you will find a recurring theme based on family, loyalty and honor. Her romantic scenes are done in good taste. Her humor and poignancy keep readers coming back for more. 

Julie states her goals as:


“I want my readers to laugh and cry and fall in love. Basically, I want them to escape into another world for a little while and afterwards to feel as though they’ve been on a great adventure.”

Wired is Julie Garwood's most recent book (published 2017) involving one or more of the Buchanan family.  The family consists of the mom & dad (who is a judge), six brothers and two sisters, all of whom are involved in either the technology field or law enforcement, most particularly the FBI. I've always enjoyed reading series with continuing characters and Garwood's books are among my favorites. 

So, if you read and enjoy Wired, be sure and seek out some of the other Julie Garwood stories involving the Buchanan family

  2. Thanks, Mary Beth. Yes, it makes us feel we can relate to an author from the Midwest. In fact, one of her Buchanan suspense stories takes place partly in Kansas City, then extends to a small town in Iowa.

  3. This sounds like a very interesting read. These book reviews are leading me to want to pick up fiction books, something I rarely do. However, the topics and creative plots are drawing me in! That's quite an accomplishment for this non-fiction reader.

  4. I'm with everyone else, I like books that keep me enthralled and wanting to see what happens next. I also like books that are tasteful in depicting romantic exploits. Give me a mystery with a little romance and intrigue mixed in and you have me! Thanks for this review, I will have to look into this author for sure.

    1. Over the course of Julie Garwood's romantic suspense stories, the six Buchanan brothers and the two sisters seem to find their 'soulmates' :) I'm not particularly fond of romance novels, but I do like these with the suspense factored in.

  6. I don't tend to like FBI/criminal stories or romances, but the blend of these two things in this story sound interesting. Definitely doesn't sound like the ooey, gooeyness some romance novels have. You've hooked me.
