Deadlock is a romantic suspense novel so be prepared for some steamy action between our main characters.
The novel had great character development and the story had good flow and was well written.
I found this book hard to put down.
Thank you Netgalley for the ARC of Deadlock-I really enjoyed it!!!

Received as an ARC copy. This is the first book of Cherrie Lynn’s that I’ve read and I loved it. I can’t wait for the next book in the series. This story of Jace and Lindsay had everything the fight, love and chemistry. I cried and laughed. I want to know about Lena and her story.

From cover to cover I was intrigued, for nothing was quite what it seemed. This is a romantic suspense that kept me questioning things and people the entire story. In fact the very last scene left me with even more questions then I had over the initial college flashback! Great world building and interesting premise of this hacker unit.

When I finished the book I immediately started looking to see if there was anything available for the next release date and whose story it would focus on..I am torn if I immediately want more on Helix or Lena. I am not ready for more on Sully because I was a little thrown by how much attitude one character conveyed 🙈 I think/hope to read more about Helix though because his character was fun and sweet and obviously troubled. Also I wonder which route Jace and Lindsey’s story will take in this series after the ending and open nature of the debrief! Overall this is a fun read and start to what seems like a fun and fascinating series.

Thank you NetGalley, Entangled: Amara, and Cherrie Lynn for the chance to read this book and share my opinion!

This one passed the time.
It was not bad nor was it off the charts good.
I will continue with this series tho

I have been a fan of Cherrie Lynn’s books for some time now. I was so excited to see she was branching out into the romantic suspense genre.

I really enjoyed the complexity of this story and the suspense that she built up throughout the whole book, even into the epilogue. I am anxious to see where she takes the rest of this series.

I don’t know if I would call this a cliff hanger ending, Jace and Lindsey’s story is pretty much wrapped up, but with the little tidbit she left in the end of the epilogue, it makes you want the next book like NOW!! Also I have a feeling we haven’t seen the last of Jace and Lindsey in this series. I kind of felt that there were still some unanswered questions in the end regarding Jace’s past at MIT.

I don’t feel this is a story you have to wait for the other books to be released, but just know going in you will be left kind of hanging and with many questions on your mind.

In this book we follow Lindsey and Jace’s story. Lindsey is the twin sister of Lena, who has gone missing. All Lindsey knows is she is supposed to go to an address and ask the person for help. Little did she know that it would be Jace answering the door. She knows Jace from MIT (where they both went to college) but Jace doesn’t remember her….just her twin Lena. And there is no love loss there between Jace and Lena. For reason we don’t….at least not all of it. Over the course of the story, secrets are told, lies exposed and hearts get involved. Can Jace and Lindsey work together to find Lena?? Will they get their HEA?? You have to read this story to find out.

I am not sure I would call Deadlock a standalone novel because I have a feeling that the characters will continue into other books and I have a feeling some of the storyline will carry over into at least the next book. I’ll just have to wait and see ;) This story was told in the Third person Dual POV. I thought the flow of the story worked, but at times I felt the pace was a little on the slow side for my liking. But still this book was overall enjoyable and worth the read.

So if you are a fan of romantic suspense stories, pick this one up. It will have you devouring the story from beginning to end.

I loved this story! Action, adventure, mystery, intense hatred, instant attraction and wrap it all up in a world of hackers and computer geeks. What more could we ask for? The next story in the series, please!

I received an Advanced Reader’s Copy in exchange for my honest review of the book I will definitely read more books by this author and can’t wait until the next book in the series.

This was an intense read. Really enjoyed the story and can see me reading the rest in the series, if there is some, perfect for fans of romantic suspense

Ok, so while the whole hacker thing isn't exactly my jam, Cherrie Lynn definitely is. This was such a different story, a fresh, exciting, suspenseful romance and I definitely enjoyed it. It had a good dose of angsty heartache, loads of steam, and unpredictable twists and turns. I'm definitely anxious to see what's next in this storyline.

Jace is ex Air Force but is a military hacker. He and his group can hack into anything. Lindsey has a twin who has been flighty and undependable. When she goes missing and Lindsey gets a text to go to this address and ask for help. When she rings the doorbell, Jace opens the door. Jace is furious to see the one woman who totally destroyed his life. He wants nothing to do with her until Lindsey explains she her twin, Jace still thinks they are trying to set him up for something. The more he digs, the more he finds out about Lindsey and Lena. Will Jace realize Lindsey is nothing like Lena but will it be too late once she’s taken too?
Awesome story. Not the usually by this author but I really enjoyed it. Action, lies, secrets, and sex. A guy who trusts no one but his team and a woman who gets in over her head. A cliffhanger.
* Voluntarily read and reviewed this for NetGalley *

I really thought Cherrie Lynn mixing hackers +missing twin + intrigue would be super sexy and suspenseful. The author did deliver the sex but not so much the suspense or intrigue. I found myself only mildly interested in Jace and his team, a bit bored by Lindsey, and kind of baffled by the bad guy. In the end, this suffered from too much world building and not enough chemistry or tension.

Basically, Lindsey's identical twin Lena is missing and her last cryptic message sent her to Jace for help. Only Jace never knew Lena had an identical twin, only that he hates Lena with a fiery passion because she got him kicked out of MIT. We know this because it is all Jace ever talks about. Even though he has created a good life following a stint in the Air Force, Jace is so bitter after all these years. In the end, I wondered whether Jace was more in hate with Lena than he was in love with Lindsey.

As for the hackers, they really didn't really do much but have meetings and bicker. I liked the hack-off face-off between Lindsey and Sully but the rest of the Nest team was just background noise. Hopefully the next installment sees a bit more action.

2.5 stars

Note: I voluntarily read and reviewed this ARC generously provided by NetGalley and the publisher.

Deceit and betrayal is all that Jace knows. So trusting somebody is very hard for him. I felt so bad for Lindsey. We know she's as innocent as they come and you just can't wait until the rest of the team catches on to that fact too. I enjoyed this book immensely.

This is quite a departure from the stories the author has previously written. I’ve enjoyed quite a few of her books but sad to say, I did not enjoy this one.

I didn’t connect to the characters or the story which revolves around Hackers. There wasn’t enough romance and whereas I’ve previously complimented the author for writing steamy love scenes the ones in this book were poorly written even the sexual dialogue didn’t hit the mark.

This didn’t even feel like it was the same author writing compared to her previous novels. I’ve read romantic suspense/intrigue books before but this one just didn’t interest me, so I won’t continue with the series.

Very intriguing- action packed- loved the writing!

Deadlock is definitely 5 stars! A very drama filled story with danger and suspense with a "who do you trust" theme that makes the book a thrilling read. Lindsey Morris is a strong and independent woman rather she has ever exercised that part of herself or not. Having a completely out there, wild and free twin, Lindsey hasn't had much need to be as brazen as she needs to be once confronted with a slew of problems to face after her twin, Lena goes missing.

Jace is a book boyfriend that is hot, sexy, yet dangerous and smart. While his body tells him to trust Lindsey, his mind and past warn him away.

Danger and violence brings these two together and the story was amazing.

Highly recommend and CANNOT wait for the next book in this series.

This was pretty good. It ended with me wanting more and now I want to read the second one ASAP! There was romance and suspense. I give it 31/2 stars. Thanks to netgalley for the ARC!

The story of Jace and Lindsey.
They meet when Lindsey's twin sister, Lena, dissapears and she is sent a message to go to him and ask for help.
Jace has a history with Lena, when she ruined his life, so he is reluctant to help.
Fast paced read, which surely will have a sequel.

A big thank you to NetGalley and Entangled Publishing for the ARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. This is the first in a new series. Fun read, but what's with the last chapter???? Thanks is a romantic suspense Lindsey and Jace. Is e absolutely hates Lindseys twin sister Lena. An interesting read, still not sure about Lena but loved Lindsey. I would recommend to romance readers and readers of suspense. 4 stars.

This book is clearly the first in a series and what a start to a new series it is. Lindsey is the quiet and 'good' twin. While her sister Lena is the one to go rushing into adventure, not worrying about who she hurts or upsets along the way, Lindsey has always followed her picking up the pieces. When Lena goes missing, Lindsey has no choice but to turn to the man who Lena almost destroyed when they were younger.
This is very much a romantic suspense novel. The suspense element being just about as important as the romance. In fact, apart from a kiss when the two first meet, it's a while before the romance side comes through for Lindsay and Jace.
I am quite a big fan of enemy to lover romances. In this case, Jace and Lindsay aren't really enemies as such, it's Lena that Jace has a problem with. After the way that she, in his eyes, ruined his life, he's never going to be that welcoming towards her identical twin sister.
I really enjoyed this read. While it came to a conclusion of sorts at the end of this book, there's clearly more to come. Both for Lena, who I think is probably nowhere near as bad as everyone seems to think, and for the group that Jace works for and with. I'm looking forward to reading the next book in the series.
I received a complimentary copy of this book through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

"It didn't help matters that his T-shirt could scarcely contain his muscles, and the way his jeans hugged his hard thighs made her mouth water."

I've been a Cherrie Lynn fan for years so it was a no-brainer that I would follow her on this new journey. I'm kind of a geek myself so a sexy hacker is right up my alley and I couldn't wait to get my hands on Jace...I mean Deadlock ...well, both. 😉

I found the idea of Jace being faced with twins to be irresistible, especially if he hated the one and lusted after the other. It was very exciting as I waited for him to realize there were two of them. I knew he would fight his attraction to her just on principle, and I knew he would lose the battle, the wait was delicious.

Lindsey is the quiet one. She's a loner and likes it that way. If it wasn't for her fear for her sister's life she would never have ventured out and asked Jace for help. She knew what her sister had done to him, so Lindsey getting him to even listen to her would be her biggest challenge. It would be no surprise to him that her sister had gotten herself in trouble, again, that seemed to be a theme in her life. But, what neither he, nor I, expected was what she did to get him to hear her out. That's when things got really exciting!

I devoured this story from cover to cover. It had everything I dig in a romantic suspense novel. #Action #BadassTeam #Enemies2Lovers #GeekSpeak #KindleThrowing #Passion #Secrets #SexyTime #Surprises and best of all...more to come. The author teased me at the end with a glimpse of what I had to look forward to in the next Hacker World installment and I can't wait! The line forms here...

I liked the overall premise and how the drama unfolds for Lindsey to end up at Jace's door. How the series and overarching storyline will play out is interesting.

I didn't buy how Jace's world connected to Lindsey's and her ultimate role in it all felt like a reach. I started skimming when we got to Lindsey and Sully's posturing and bickering. I didn't like Lindsey during this and I need Sully's character to chill her badassery when we get to her story.

For a series, I want a HEA for the H/h even if they're involved with future stories. This feels set up for a new H/h, but there's too much unsettled and a lack of trust or solid ground for Lindsey and Jace. I'm not sure if the lack of a clear and obvious HEA for their personal relationship was intended.

It will be interesting to see how the series plays out.

Deadlock by Cherrie Lynn a four-star read that will re-write what you think. This is the first novel in the Hacker World series, and I want number two like right now, that epilogue made the whole read, what comes next. Jace Adams and his team are intense, and they will make you think about if what you know is really what you know. Lindsay and Lena have a very complex relationship and it took me while to figure them out, and I still don’t know if I am truly sure of what I think is right. This is a complex and twisted story, filled with intrigue and passion. This is a great story and I can’t wait to read more from this author.
