Blake and Erica are hit with a dose of reality when the police and FBI knock on their door.

Blake has a feeling that Trevor is behind this, but he is once again reluctant to do anything because of the friendship he had with his brother.

Blake is faced with criminal charges because of the transgressions of his hacking past that he has no wish to relive. With Blake's freedom at stake and their future hanging in the balance, Erica is determined to clear his name. But when Blake defies the authorities and refuses to seek out the truth, their world slowly begins to unravel.

Now more than ever, Erica wants to ensure Blake will be by her side in their future life together. Knowing Blake doesn't want to involve Trevor, Erica calls in a dangerous favor in order to find Trevor and help clear Blake's name and bring him home. Erica's big break comes in the most unlikely of help.

HARD LOVE is the fifth book that concludes Meredith Wild's Hacker series. I do recommend reading this series from the beginning. There is just so much the reader will miss and lose out on if not. Blake and Erica have gone through so much to get where they are today. They have faced challenges to their businesses, to their relationships, and even to their lives. Their relationship faces one more challenge that will truly test how deep their love for each other really is.

HARD LOVE was the absolute perfect conclusion to Meredith Wild's captivating and utterly phenomenal Hacker series. It is always hard to finish a series that have taken you through the characters incredible journey. This is a story that stays with the reader even after it is over. This is the only series that I have read from Meredith Wild, and it certainly will not be the last. Meredith Wild has quickly become one of my favorite authors. I can't wait to see if there will be a spin-off series using the secondary characters like Simone, Ali, or Heath.
