Add to Goodreads
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.

Reading this book is a struggle and it saddens me to not finish this book because it’s by A. Meredith Walters. I love her writing style and based on the books I’ve read so far from her didn’t disappoint me. Exploited has a potential but for a romantic suspense, I find the story progress too slow to the point I lost my interest. Hannah Whelan is a professional hacker who wants justice from the government. It’s illegal and reckless. She could have been caught by the police and to make it more reckless, she’s dating Mason Kohler, a FBI Agent. What she didn’t know, he’s handling her case.
For an agent, Mason isn’t alert and observant. Like, he could have been suspicious or wary towards Hannah. Especially when she told him about her college years learning about computers. That rings a bell to me and the lack of furniture in her home as if she can runaway easily. Yet, Mason was blinded to these clues in the earlier chapters. I tried my best to finish this but I just can’t.
