Book Review: King of Code by CD Reiss

From New York Times Bestselling author, CD Reiss, comes a sexy tale of secrets, intrigue, betrayal, and a love worth crossing a continent for.
Taylor Harden is a man on the edge.
The edge of fame. The edge of untold wealth.
The edge of utter humiliation.
He built an unhackable system, and in front of everyone, it’s hacked.
His reputation goes from king to goat in a split second. Boom. Like that.
Some dude in Barrington, USA (AKA Nowhere) has locked down Taylor’s code, and if he doesn’t get it back, he’s going to be wearing a monkey suit for the rest of his life.
Except, this guy? This hacker from Nowhere? He’s not a guy.

Harper Watson’s all woman. And she has a plan for Taylor, his code, and his body. 

 

King of Code is an intriguing story filled with secrets, doubts, betrayal and a bit of craziness.

"she was a hacker, a terrorist, my captor, and she was withholding information I needed."

Taylor Harden created an infallible system that he was willing to bet could not be hacked.

Harper Barrington who also goes by Harper Watson locked down Taylor's system which led him to her. She led him to her town that was suffering economically. Harper feels responsible for her town's downfall. Now that she has Taylor's attention she has demands that she wants fulfilled before giving him the codes he needs to release his system. 

The story is told in Taylor's POV leaving you constantly speculating. It's a real page turner.  However Taylor is not my favorite hero. At times he comes off uncomfortably aggressive. He's cocky with an enormous ego. From the start he lacked respect for women. He didn't hire women, or think highly of them. When it came to the hacker who breached his system he couldn't fathom it could be a woman. Harper gave him a lesson in humility. 4 Stars
