Genres: Adult, Romance, Suspense
When Navy Seal Operative Luke Kiersey is finally granted leave after five years, he finds himself driving to a house he doesn’t recognize in a town he’s never been to. The house is home to a beautiful woman and a little girl with big blue eyes. Day after day, he drives back only to hide in the shadows and wonder why he can’t seem to walk away from them.
His therapist says is PTSD.
His handler tells him he’s just not cut out to be part of the civilian world.
Luke can’t help but feel like it’s more.
The dog tags that once hung proudly around his neck, now feel like a collar; leashing him to a life that he fears he didn’t choose. After the terrible things he’s done in the name of freedom, could he possibly be worthy of something as precious as the woman and child he continues to watch?
When the two worlds collide, Luke needs his mind to be stronger than the implant the government placed in his back. They’ve told him he can’t survive without the implant they use to control him, but Luke’s wondering if he can survive without the little girl with big blue eyes and the gorgeous woman she calls mamma.
Review:
As a Military girlfriend I am drawn to military romance books a lot. However, Hardwired isn't your typical military romance. While it is a romance, there's a little bit of sci-fi mixed in there making for an intriguing read. Bills takes readers on an emotional roller coaster throughout the entire book as the life of Luke unfolds through the pages.
Luke, a Navy Seal, was going on his last mission when things went awry and he was taken to be used as a scientific experiment. Five years after being taken away from his family, Luke is on leave and happens to be staying next to Jen. Something about her draws him to her, but can he ever be normal?
Bills engages readers with excitement, action and romance. A fast paced but emotional story, I was captured and drawn in from the first page. With twists and turns, Hardwired drew every emotion out of me as it went through loss and love. I was connected with the plot and the characters. I was engaged throughout the entire book and the epilogue managed to wrap everything up perfectly.
A must-read!
