Book Review: The Hacker (The Consultants #2) by Nancy Herkness

Title: The Hacker (The Consultants #2)

Author: Nancy Herkness 

Stars: 3

Review:
I didn't read the first in the series but was told he can be read as a stand a lone.  The story is blah nothing stand out as the characters life moves from moment to moment.  Dawn isn't enough of what reader might be hoping for and Leland is well just as bland.
The story flows and the writing is ok.  Nothing stands out giving this the book that readers might be looking for in a romance or a mystery.
The book is bland, boring and very much self absorbed with its own story telling. 

Thank you to Netgalley for the advance copy of Nancy Herkness The Hacker.

Synopsis:
Dawn Galioto is an expert in self-defense and the most in-demand personal trainer at her Jersey gym—a perfect position for a woman fighting her way out of a troubled past and the anxieties that come with it. Then, after complaints about baffling Wi-Fi glitches at the gym, Dawn calls in disarmingly hot, high-powered computer consultant Leland Rockwell. If she can trust anyone to fix her on-the-job problems, it’s Leland. As for healing her off-hours fears, time will tell.

The cybersecurity genius of KRG, Leland sees a lot to admire in Dawn. She’s strong, quick-witted, and sexy. And something of a puzzle—one Leland wants very much to solve. If only she’d let him. Every new reveal brings him intimately closer to Dawn, but there’s another, more dangerous riddle to decipher. After going undercover to solve her Wi-Fi problem, Leland’s found a dark workplace secret. As Dawn’s past threatens a burgeoning romance, the deepening mystery they’re discovering threatens their lives.
