About this ebook

After an embarrassing end to her teenage crush, grey-hat hacker Alexa Stone vowed to spend the rest of her life avoiding Nolan de Luca. Reliving the memory in her nightmares is quite bad enough without seeing him in person. But when her meddling bestie volunteers her to fix a tiny ransomware issue with Nolan’s laptop, Alexa can’t say no.

Nolan’s spent the past decade regretting the way he walked out on Alexa. Yes, okay, he was a murder suspect and she was a minor who lied about her age, but he should still have handled the situation better. Now she’s coming to California, to the vineyard where he sought refuge after the death of their former roommate, and he wants a do-over.

But nothing’s ever simple. Alexa isn’t impressed when Nolan becomes an accidental porn star, and then there’s the interior designer determined to give his entire life a makeover. Which, being honest, it probably needs, but complications lead to mistakes. Mistakes that threaten his business and more.

Alexa doesn’t do complications, or people, or the great outdoors. So why does she keep returning to Gold Country?

Hard Code is a standalone romantic suspense novel with a neurospicy heroine, an uptight hero, plenty of dark humour, and a morally grey girl squad.

After an embarrassing end to her teenage crush, grey-hat hacker Alexa Stone vowed to spend the rest of her life avoiding Nolan de Luca.

Hard Code Blackstone House #6 by Elise Noble I was very excited to finally get to meet the enigma that is Alexa. This book is truly action packed with humor, mystery and some spicy moments thrown into the mix.

It was so good to finally have Alexa's story to read. This story is a classic Elise book and could be read as a stand alone but I think you will get more out of it if read in order with the rest. For readers who have read the other Blackstone house books this one really helps with a lot of the back ground and what occurred at the time while also giving you Alexa's back story. Some is a little predictable but not in a boring way. There are some nice little twists along the way ;)

Loving the Blackstone House series. Hard Code is about two of the former residents, and it is brilliant. Noble gives us interesting characters, and we see the good and bad in them. Alexa, has to be the favourite, the previous books gave us so many clues to her complexities. Romance, adventure, suspense this book has it all. I look forward to the next one, after I have read this one again.
