Description: Brilliant, quirky twenty-three-year-old China Mack is totally satisfied with her carefully ordered, data-driven life. A computer prodigy who landed a coveted programming job at the cutting-edge tech company Cysnet before even graduating from MIT, China is happiest when following her routine: shower before coffee, pizza only on Mondays, bedtime at ten thirty sharp.
But then things start to get a little…unpredictable.
First Jackson Cooper—Cysnet’s rich, gorgeous, genius CEO—assigns China to a dangerous and highly classified project for a government defense contractor. Her sixteen-year-old runaway niece suddenly arrives in town, begging to move in with China. And then there’s her sexy but oddly unsettling new neighbor, Clark…
Quickly the Cysnet assignment becomes disconcerting—and then downright scary—as key staffers turn up dead. China suspects she’s being followed and isn’t sure whom she can trust. For the first time ever, she’ll have to follow her instincts, rather than logic, if she’s going to survive.

My Thoughts: China is a genius who works for Cysnet which is a cutting edge tech company. She is only twenty-three but already has three college degrees. She is a complete nerd and also has OCD tendencies. More than that, she has a massive crush on her boss Jackson Cooper who is rich, gorgeous, and also a technical genius. Unfortunately, her crush makes her unbelievably awkward whenever she is in Jackson's presence.
When Jackson taps her to work with him on a special project, China is both pleased and dismayed. She becomes even more dismayed when other people on her team start dying. It turns out that the software they are developing is incredibly valuable to a wide variety of people inside and outside our government. Adding to China's confusion is the sudden arrival of her sixteen-year-old niece Mia who is a math genius and who is ready to shake up China's orderly life. Her new neighbor Clark is also a disruption to China's routine.
I enjoyed the rivalry between Jackson and Clark for China's affections. I especially enjoyed China's confusion as she tried to figure out why either of them would want to be with her. China was a great, geeky character who wasn't as naive as she thought she was.
The plot was fast-paced and the romance was engaging. This is the first book in a new series and I am eager to see what happens next for China, Clark and Jackson.
Favorite Quote:
I kissed him.I got this one in exchange for an honest review from NetGalley. You can buy your copy here.
Not just any kiss. Nope. Not me. I threw myself at him, locking my lips to his and wrapping my arms around his neck. This had the unfortunate effect of causing him to stumble backward, unbalanced by my sudden attack. For once, luck was actually on my side because his leg hit the couch and he abruptly sat. Since I was attached to him like a barnacle to a sinking ship, I went down, too.
