Synopsis (Goodreads):

She’s the genius hacker known as Hex.

He’s a ghost—the deep-cover spy known only as Shade.

They generate a dangerous level of white-hot sparks, but he needs her help on a deadly mission.

Jet “Hex” Adler loves being a goddess of all thing tech. She provides her team at Sentinel Security with intel and comms, and she’s good at it. No, brilliant. Sure, sometimes it’s hard to be stuck in the office while her guys are in the field, but computers, tech, and drones are her thing. If only she had the same luck with men.

And that does not include a certain hot, cocky, annoying spy.

Cain aka Shade is dedicated to his country. He does the hard, dangerous work so others don’t have to. He came from nothing, he’s alone, unattached. A man like him has nothing to lose. For Cain, life is always about the mission. It can never be about a certain small, smart, feisty hacker.

But now he needs Jet for an important assignment to stop high-tech drone schematics falling into enemy hands.

Of course, Jet will do anything to help save the world…okay, not the entire world, but a lot of innocent lives. Even if it means going undercover with the man who knows how to push every one of her buttons. But as they work together, dodging danger and bad guys, their scorching attraction explodes…and Cain will realize that for the first time in his life, someone is more important to him than his mission.

Thoughts on Hex: Oh MANNNNNN. Hex and Shade (aka Jet and Cain) are up and I AM SO HERE FOR THIS. THESE TWO ARE SMOKIN' HOT AND I ADORE THEM SO HARD.

Whew! Okay. Now that I have that out of my system (lies, it will likely pop up again at unexpected moments), let's talk about these two. Hex/Jet is the tech specialist for Sentinel and she's VERY good at her job. She's brilliant, sassy, and she's found her place with the Killian and the Sentinel crew. That said, she might be fun and outgoing with her peeps, but she a little guarded with her heart. She's been told one too many times that she's cute (not beautiful) and too smart and too many men are intimated by that in her. So she might want all the lovey-dovey-ness her Sentinel friends have, but she doesn't think it's in the cards for her. (Spoiler: She's wrong! WRONG!)

On Cain's end, he's a loner who tends toward deep cover (and dangerous) work. Fortunately for him and everyone who isn't a bad guy, he's also VERY good at his job. He 100% doesn't think he's good enough for Jet. She 100% disagrees with him. As much as he tries to distance himself, our boy has some fierce protective instincts that won't let him let Jet put herself in danger without him nearby as backup.

Dangerous tech that can't fall into the wrong hands, a little undercover work, some steamy kisses, an unexpected hookup at a party, danger, the Sentinel crew doing their thing, and two people who find each other at the right time. Hex and Shade. OH YEAH.
