Publisher Description
In this pulse-pounding novel from the bestselling author of Butterfly Dreams, a vigilante hacker plays a seductive game with the agent who’s chasing her online—and sharing her bed in real life.
At first glance, I’m nothing out of the ordinary. I am a daughter. A sister. A friend. When you look at me you won’t see anything that warrants suspicion. I don’t look like a criminal.
My name is Hannah Whalen, but most people know me as freed0mov3rdr1v3, or “Freedom Overdrive”—one of the world’s most prolific and notorious hacktivists. My goal—my purpose—is to shed light on the evil that lurks behind the corporate and government lies we have been force-fed for too long.
My story begins with the best possible intention. Devoting my life to exposing the corrupt. The dishonest. The unethical. For that, they label me a cyber-terrorist. Wanted by the FBI, I’ve always been one step ahead.
Until I fell in love.
Because I’m sleeping with the man who’s hunting me. And he has no idea that I am his prey. Now I have to decide what’s more important: my freedom or my heart.
Note: Exploited ends on a cliffhanger. Hannah’s story continues in Aftermath.

Customer Reviews
4.5 Stars. I loved it.
Well this book had it all! Suspense, intrigue, romance and of course some sexy time (not too much though). It follows infamous computer hacker Hannah Whalen as she navigates a relationship with Mason Kohler, the FBI agent who is assigned to find her alter ego, Freedom Overdrive. There are so many twists and turns in the plot line of this story, I had no idea who to trust (except of course Agent Kohler, I'd trust him with my life). I make no bones about the fact that I adored Mason, he was a strong, sexy, true alpha male with insecurities that made him even more ideal. Hannah however, I found to be manipulative and harsh with a slight 'god complex' that annoyed me no end. Both of them seemed to be naive and trusting in the wrong people, I wanted to bash their heads together. The chemistry between them was palpable and even with all the lies and deceit I found myself rooting for them to get their HEA. Sadly I never got to find out because their conclusion is in book 2. A cliffhanger, who knew? I was devastated, I have months to wait, and I can say without a shadow of a doubt I'll be reading the next book. I have to know how this story plays out, just a shame I've got to wait. Excellent writing, a brilliant storyline told in dual POV, I loved t. I was provided with an advanced copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
