Review: Wire (Pierce Securities #2) by Anne Conley





Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

Evan Rocco has been a hero to Paige Lawson for as long as she could remember.  So when she runs into him in a bar after a major professional coup, she’s feeling celebratory and reckless.  But it can’t go anywhere, because after all, he’s Evan Rocco.  When she finds her gaming company in trouble, there’s only one man she can turn to.
Evan can’t get the woman who disappeared after their one­-night­ stand six months ago out of his head.  He’d honestly thought there was more between them besides just sex—a connection he’d never felt before.  When PSL, his favorite game software company, is the victim of sabotage, he jumps at the chance to help them solve the mystery behind The Crimson Lady, the fan­made character   who’s taking credit for murder.  Maybe it will get his mind off the woman of his dreams.
When he realizes who the CEO of PSL actually is, he has to get over his own issues or else he’ll put the one woman in danger he never wanted to hurt. 
This is book two in the Pierce Securities series, a stand­alone story.  The first book, while not necessary to read, is Craze.

REVIEW:


I am a gamer (at least that's what I say to myself), so I was pretty excited about reading this book. Both Evan and Paige are involved in the gaming world, and so does the killer of this story who uses a character from a game named Crimson Lady to convince some people to harm others. Paige hires the firm Evan works for to find the identity of the person who uses Crimson Lady and save her company and they have a chance to develop the feelings that started to be created from their one night stand several months ago.

I don't know if it was me or the author, but I felt that she gave clues about the killer during the story and it didn't come as a shock to me in the end. From now on I will use a he when I refer to the killer, but that doesn't mean that the killer is a man. (And yes, I am going stereotypical here and choose the killer to be man in my review). I will use it to make things easier for me. I knew who the killer was from the moment I read his name. And to add to the injury the pieces of the puzzle fell into place as soon as I had them, while Evan couldn't put two and two together making him a not so smart cookie in my eyes. I was expecting more from a gamer.

I am going to follow the series. I can see Zack and Bonnie ending up together. There is something between Quinten and Miriam and I would like to see what that something is.
