Code Conspiracy by Carol Ericson is the third novel in Red, White and Built: Delta Force Deliverance series. While it can be read on its own, I believe it is better to read the series in order. Code Conspiracy has Jerrica West fighting for her life when she helps Lt. Gray Prescott prove the innocence of Major Rex Denver. The story has intrigue and suspense as they try to stay alive while uncovering terrorists’ secrets. I liked all the action which kept the pacing quick and the tension high. I thought the characters were complex and realistic. The mystery was multifaceted with unexpected and expected revelations. I like how everything came together and that there was a complete wrap up at the end. There is an epilogue that nicely concludes the series. I do want to let readers know that there is some foul language in the story along with intimate relations. Code Conspiracy is an intriguing romantic suspense with staunch soldiers, hopeful hackers, surprising revelations, express escapes, and terrifying terrorists.
Ms. Ericson drags you into the shadowy, clandestine world of the computer hacker from the very first page. The action is hot and the romance is hotter. Love Jerrica and Gray.
Code Conspiracy
Carol Ericson
Another thriller of looking for their missing Delta Force leader. Grabs you from the beginning and doesn’t let you go. It was a late night read because I had to see how Jessica and Gray were going to survive all the suspense and would they be able to finally settle their issues.
A great read in the Red, White, and Built:Delta Force Deliverance Book 3.
This book was full of twists and turns from the start. The suspense and action in this book was nonstop and had me sitting on the edge of my seat. The combination of hackers (mainly Jerrica) and Delta Force was genius especially having them working together. Every time I thought I had it all figured out there was another twist. Jerrica and Gray have a history and he doesn’t fully trust her but he must if he wants to clear is commander and friend. Jerrica already suspects it was a set up before Gray shows up. Can they put their history aside and prevent disaster? No spoilers here!!! This book was fantastic and I can’t wait to ready more!!!
I remember reading this author a few years ago with the series Brody Law. I remember I adored the writing style and the way I could escape into a good intrigue. So when given the opportunity to dive into another novel by this author I jumped for sure into it. This intrigue centers around Jerrica whom Gray needs her help in a way that surprises her. That is also the hook that catches the reader snaring them into this to see where it goes. It is also a second chance. The drama will escalate with things growing hot. This is also a picture of how if allowed love can heal trust and mend a few other things along the way. Oh this was exciting and so glad to have not missed it.
4 1/2 STARS!
Twists and turns from start to finish! With the third book in her Red, White and Built: Delta Force Deliverance series, Carol Ericson brings some powerful parts of the story to life with CODE CONSPIRACY. If you’ve been reading the series, you know that a Delta Force team is trying to clear their AWOL commander who is being set up for things he didn’t do in a terrorist conspiracy. This time Gray steps up to the plate looking for answers and is forced to look up his ex-girlfriend for help … precisely for hacked information, the very thing he dumped her over!
Jerrica is a really interesting character. She’s living her life the way she feels is right, but she will admit that she doesn’t have the most stable upbringing to draw on in her quest for fairness in life. She’s never forgotten Gray … or the heartache he left her with … so seeing him again is bittersweet.
Gray is complex. He sees things as black and white with no middle ground to fall into. He walked away from Jerrica because he believed what she was doing was wrong, but as she steps up to help him find the info he needs to clear Major Denver, he realizes how wrong he was and how much she truly does care about justice.
I recommend this book and the entire series to anyone who enjoys a fast paced book filled with action and intrigue. This was my favorite in the series, but all have been spot on in leading us to answers to the mystery.
What do you get when you mix a hacker and a Delta Force man? Code Conspiracy! Can you say non stop? The action was non stop. I kept wanting to yell wait catch a breath; then I realized if I was hacker and the powerful were after me, there would be no time out. This is a fast paced, roller coaster ride and I didn’t want off. The corker, the hacker (Jerrica) and the Delta Force (Gray) are ex boyfriend girlfriend. I have to admit I fell for the red herring, and still didn’t believe it wouldn’t turn out to be him. Nicely done! This was really a great engaging story, the romance was delightful, the conspiracy raised questions of possibilities in our world today. Thank you for the arc Carol Ericson. I freely volunteer my thoughts and opinions, all unsolicited.
I’ve read a lot of Carol’s books and she knows how to write fast-paced romantic suspense! This book is a good example! Jerrica and Gray were great examples of fantastic characters in a military/ government story. Jerrica is a hacker that delves into making a more transparent government. Gray is her ex, a Delta Force soldier. A very interesting combination! However, they get back together when Gray’s leader goes mission and he knows Jerrica is the only one who can find him. I enjoyed the twists and turns the story took. I kept trying to figure things out, only to have another twist in the story! In the end, it’s up to Gray to trust Jerrica – will he do it? Read the story and find out!
Jerrica West works for the notorious hacker Olaf who founded Dreadworm. She has a mission. She wants government to be transparent. Her work has lead her to isolate herself and to be paranoid. When her ex, Gray Prescott, seeks her out asking her to use her talents to help exonerate his Delta Force Commander. Jerrica agrees. Her goal is truth and justice. Gray has never gotten over Jerrica. He still loves her, but he doesn’t approve of her hacking. To be successful they need to work together. After all finding the mastermind and stop the bloodshed is imperative. Jerrica has put her life on the line. Will Gray be able to protect her? Code Conspiracy is filled with unforgettable characters. The dangee keeps building up as Jerrica and Gray struggle to stop a horrific attack in US soil. I felt that these two belonged together. I wanted them to take advantage of their second chance. I thought that working together would make them realize how important they were to each other. Carol Ericson wrote characters that I cared about. The dialogue and the story kept me on the edge of my seat. The tension was unbelievable. What a wild ride!
I received a copy of this book which I voluntarily read and reviewed. My comments are my honest opinion.

Their agenda is to make the knowledge available to the public as a citizen’s “right to know” where their tax dollars are spent. Gray Prescott is a dedicated Delta Force agent determined to clear the name of his commander, Major Rex Denver, who is AWOL after being framed as a terrorist conspirator. The one person he knows who has the special skills to help him is his former love, Jerrica.

Now, in order to help his commander, he must put aside his personal feelings and also try to forget the intense emotions and passion that once existed between himself and Jerrica. While she is deciding whether or not to put aside her own memories and help him, a call from her colleague, Amit, sets into motion a chain of events that will have them on the run as they fight to foil a dangerous terrorist plot and clear Major Denver’s name. Along the way, Jerrica and Gray must lower the barriers between them ad unguard their hearts enough to trust each other–did the love once so deeply felt between them ever really die? A top-notch romantic suspense thriller from super storyteller Carol Ericson.
