She dares not come out from behind her walls. But her heart is on the threshold… wedding. I’ve got Xanax, my team’s got a plan, and my bro’s got my plus-one—Abe, his Navy SEAL buddy. He’s hot. He’s dangerous. He’s unexpectedly kind. He’s the one thing my screwed-up brain will never let me have.
Abe
Bodyguarding the good, the bad, and the rich and famous for Blackwood Mercenary supplies the action I crave. Babysitting my buddy’s sister during his wedding? Not the kind of action I had in mind.
But Addie’s a special case. As brilliant as she is fragile. A handle-with-care woman who, the more I’m with, makes me forget about the bro code that clearly says hands off. But when every reason for her retreat from the world threatens, it’s up to me to keep her safe. Though my every instinct warns me I’ll never be the man she needs…

This book features AA Security operative Abe who is task to pick up his best friend’s sister, Addie, from the airport. She is flying in for her brother’s wedding. This is the first time Addie has left her house in three years due to her agoraphobia. When the plane has an emergency, Addie has a meltdown and Abe is able to calm her. He continues to care and calm her through the wedding. Addie and Blackwood Owner Brock are separately look for the owners of a company selling defective equipment to the CIA and the military. Abe now tries to keep Addie safe. This book is action packed, suspenseful and steamy hot.
Really love this series. I can’t imagine being stuck inside all the time because of a phobia. She’s a good hacker and has her own team. But she lives in Boston and Abe lives and works in Florida. When she goes to Florida to her brothers wedding she’s a nervous mess. Abe grounds her just by being around. But when trouble starts to happen and she pushes Abe aside to protect him, that causes friction. There is a lot of action, Abe is a Dom so he and Addie have some fun before she leaves to go home. Aside from a few spelling/wordage errors it was a great book. HEA

I received a free copy of the steamy novel Hacker Enclosed: White Hat Security: Book 8: Addie and Abe by Linzi Baxter and this review was given freely.
Action packed with some bits of BDSM, a wedding, betrayal,intrigue, CIA corruption and a steamy love at first sight romance. This complex east coast USA novel merges the people from White Hat Security in Boston with AA Security in Florida as well as the Blackwood Mercenary/ Blackwood Security’s Florida and California branches.
Just as Addie is getting close to solving the case of Stark Night brand equipment and the recent mass military armament failures, her twin brother John asks 35 yo Addie Walters to challenge her agoraphobia to fly from Boston to Florida for his wedding to movie star Annabelle but a near death experience causes a panic attack that only her brother’s best friend and best man Abe can help.
Can be read as a single but best if read in series.

Her big problem, she has acute agoraphobia and pretty much has not left her house in three years. Abe is a security agent and her brother’s best friend.

I absolutely love this series and while you don’t have to read all of the series (though do you won’t be disappointed ) I do feel you have to read at least Hacker Salvation which is book seven and is Annabelle and Johns story John is the twin of Addie the heroine of this story
Addie is a world class hacker and she has the team to make the job work because her agoraphobia means that she never leaves her home but now her brother is getting married and she is going to have be brave and head to Florida for the wedding. She is currently working on a case about military equipment that had catastrophic failures and this is bringing danger to her Luckily her brother has asked his best friend and former military man Ab to act as her bodyguard on the trip and he not only protects her but makes her feel a little safer. Ab is used to working as a bodyguard because he works for Blackwood protection but Abbie is a special case this fragile woman calls to all sides of him but he needs to stay away because the Bro code says she is off limits but as danger circles he will do whatever he needs to in an effort to keep her safe and in the process he will lose his heart.
As Addie, a brilliant and talented hacker with agoraphobia, is working on her latest case, her twin brother, John, asks her to attend his wedding in Florida. So pulling herself together and ignoring her terrors, she heads to Florida.
Abe, John’s Navy SEAL buddy, will provide the bodyguard service, and just having him near her actually does calm her down… somewhat. When danger threatens, will he be able to keep her safe?
I do love the fast-paced, action-packed tone of the books. But I draw the line at including BDSM since I find that off-putting enough to make me quit reading. It adds nothing of value to any story and is very repulsive to many readers.
My first book by this author and it definitely won’t be the last book I read in the series. Even though this is book 8, it can, in my opinion, be read as a standalone. With a hot sexy alpha male and a heroine who suffers debilitating panic attacks, dodgy weapons, questionable supply chains, and action-packed pages this is a very easy to read and entertaining novel.
My 1st book by this author and I loved it. This book had all of the feels, mystery, murder, mayhem but it also addresses difficulties that many people have with phobias. It also shows compassion, chemistry and love that can be found. Looking forward to more by Linzi. I volunteered my honest opinion for this book
The story line was good, the character work was terrific and the book had a fairly smooth flow to it. This was another great addition to the series and I look forward to seeing what happens next.

This book is definitely one of my favorites in this brilliant series!!!! Each and every book in this series is filled with alpha men with hearts, suspense, intrigue, action, and extremely smart, talented and resilient women who are typically close to those men . It’s not mandatory to have read the previous books in this series, however I do suggest it. Reading the previous books *will* really help the reader see the links between characters as many have become family by choice, and past events relevant to the current book.
Ever since hearing about Addie through her brother John’s story, I’ve wanted her to get her own book. So I was overjoyed to see her truly face her fear, blossom as a woman, and kick butt in her job all while dealing with crippling fear of leaving her house. Not only was this book just filled with the usual action/suspense and romance, it was fascinating to see this amazing woman learn to take more control of her fear so that SHE could dictate what she does in life and not her fear! I have a feeling we’ll possibly be seeing Abe and Addie sometime in the near future. Enjoy!!! Be warned though, this series is EXTREMELY ADDICTIVE in the best way!!
