Will Robie may have just made the first - and last - mistake of his career.... It begins with a hit gone wrong. Robie is dispatched to eliminate a target unusually close to home in Washington, D.C. But something about this mission doesn't seem right to Robie, and he does the unthinkable: He refuses to kill. Now, Robie becomes a target himself and must escape from his own people.
Fleeing the scene, Robie crosses paths with a wayward teenage girl, a 14-year-old runaway from a foster home. But she isn't an ordinary runaway....

Story
She used to work for the US government, but very few people ever knew that. An expert in her field, she was one of the darkest secrets of an agency so clandestine it doesn't even have a name. And when they decided she was a liability, they came for her without warning. Now she rarely stays in the same place or uses the same name for long. They've killed the only other person she trusted, but something she knows still poses a threat. They want her dead, and soon.

Story
With indifferent parents, Iona Sheehan grew up craving devotion and acceptance. From her maternal grandmother, she learned where to find both: a land of lush forests, dazzling lakes, and centuries-old legends. Ireland. County Mayo, to be exact. Where her ancestors’ blood and magic have flowed through generations - and where her destiny awaits. Iona arrives in Ireland with nothing but her Nan’s directions, an unfailingly optimistic attitude, and an innate talent with horses.

Story
Me and the legendary Zimmerman twins - it's a friendship made in geek heaven. And it all started back when I worked for the NSA... My best friend Basia dragged me to the beach for her idea of a vacation. All those annoying people, sand in embarrassing places - not exactly R & R for a girl who doesn't like the sun, the ocean, or bathing suits. I couldn't wait to get back to work. But things started looking up when I ran into Elvis and Xavier Zimmerman. We discovered we had a lot in common: gaming, anchovies, hacking.

Great Romantic Suspence - No BDSM
- By Rusty on 04-20-15
By: Katie Reus
I was a little skeptical of the plot from early on in the book. I mean, since when did hacking become synonymous with typing correctly quickly? I didn't buy the romance between Ember and Ryland and would have preferred without it. Ember complains about Ryland's personality and smugness then talk about how attractive he is in the same sentence felt more like a teen romance. And making out in the middle of their first job? The audible description focuses on hacking, but it's really a sideline. This is more of a romance than a thriller.

This audiobook was given to me for a honest unbiased review. This was wonderful. I love this series. The four books in one book was awesome, and definitely a money saver. This series is a very sweet romantic mysterious adventure.Wonderful

There's more to life than looks, money and career - which Ember the computer hacker is about to find out. Who doesn't need a little adventure and romance in their life?I found Abrasive to be a very enjoyable listen and loads of fun. Ember's voice sounded a little sexpot-ish but I think it added to the charm of the story. Overall the narration was well done and I would recommend Abrasive.

L L Ronine did a fine job writing this book. Although at times some of the deeds done by characters in book were far fetched.
Shoshanna Franck was a pleasure to listen to.
The story has everything you need. And thank you for putting all books into one.
I highly recommend this book to anyone that is into hacking stories.

Would you try another book from L.L. Ronin and/or Shoshana Franck?
I might try another L.L. Ronin bookHow would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
I liked the story fine but I had a hard time enjoying itHow could the performance have been better?
The main female character was smart and strong but the narration made her sound like a dumb blond porn star. Too breathy and always sounded like she was trying to be sexy instead of the intelligent hacker she was.If this book were a movie would you go see it?

This book wasn't awful or anything, you grab my interest I wish it would. I'm a technology junkie so I kind of this book would really love the characters explore technology.
To me the characters didn't seem very developed. I hate the same old song and dance where they see a guy one time, fall madly in love with them at first glance. They constantly go back and forth on the matter.

The book has a little bit of everything in it mystery, romance, thrills, adventurer. I thought this was a believable plot that does pull the listener in.Ms. Franck has a very pleasant voice but her character voice of Ember didn’t come off as a nerdy person. In my mind she was more of sexy on a stick which messed with how I pictured her. I thought her character voices were good. There are no repeats of wording, no background noises or even volume changes. She really puts emotion into the listen you have no trouble knowing what each character is feeling. It is a very clear audio. I am still having trouble getting past the sexy voice for the nerdy lady.
I thought the plot was good, giving me a little of everything. It was great to have all the book in one audio. I am a little mixed at time it kept my attention and other times I found myself wondering. I enjoyed it but it isn’t an audio I would want to listen to again.
Not as good as I thought it would be
