I am a Julie Garwood fan. I always look forward to her book releases knowing that at some level I will like them. Wired was a true disappointment. I agree with other reviewers, Julie Garwood either did not write this book or it was rewritten and heavily edited by someone else. I think everyone can agree that Ms. Garwood has a formula for her contemporary romances. This book simply does not follow. The hero, Liam, is such a disappointment. We were introduced to him in prior books. He was dynamic, handsome, confident and outgoing. There is an expectation that he will be the same in this book. Not so. As a matter of fact, Liam's character is barley developed. Other than learning a little about his family you don’t learn anything about him. Allison, the heroine, I have no words for her. She is beautiful (and of course does not know it), but she is a stupid genius? Apparently, she can solve puzzles in five minutes, write complicated code and hack into any database on earth, but she can’t manage her family or personal life. There is simply nothing to like about her because what character development there is makes her out to be something of a simpleton. There is no character development between the two main characters. I have no idea why they like each other; they don’t even spend any time together. Now the plot; what plot? There are a bunch of characters thrown together, with very little dialogue (where was that witty Garwood-speak) and frankly what plot there is, is stupid. I had to force myself to finish the book simply to see if it got any better, it did not. I suggest if you are a die hard fan that you get the book from the library or wait until it is heavily discounted. Don’t pay full price. Some books should be shelved and rewritten and this was one. On the plus side, Ms. Garwood has a long history of producing great novels and I can’t wait to read them.Tags : Wired (Buchanan/FBI) [Julie Garwood] on Amazon.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. <b>THE NEW YORK TIMES</i> BESTSELLER “Once again, Garwood delivers another suspenseful,Julie Garwood,Wired (BuchananFBI),Berkley,0525954465,Romance - Suspense,Computer crimes - Investigation,FICTION Contemporary Women,FICTION Contemporary Women.,FICTION Romance Contemporary.,FICTION Romance Suspense.,Hackers,Man-woman relationships,Romance fiction,Thrillers (Fiction),United States - Employees,AMERICAN LIGHT ROMANTIC FICTION,Adult & contemporary romance,Contemporary Women,FICTION Romance Contemporary,FICTION Romance Suspense,FICTION Women,Federal Bureau of Investigation,Fiction,Fiction - Romance,Fiction-Romance,FictionWomen,GARWOOD, JULIE - PROSE & CRITICISM,GENERAL,General Adult,Hackers,Man-woman relationships,Monograph Series, any,Officials and employees,Romance - Contemporary,Romance - Suspense,Romance fiction,RomanceGeneral,Romantic suspense fiction,Romantic suspense novels,Thrillers (Fiction),United States,United States - Employees,United States.,contemporary women; suspense; romantic suspense; contemporary romance; romance; contemporary; love; dating and relationships; computers; hacker; hacking; code; coding; secrets; security; sabotage; slacker; tech; industry; computer science; model; federal bureau of investigation; cyber security; intel; intelligence; summer reads; beach books; beach reads for women 2017; beach reads for women; romance novels; romance books; julie garwood kindle books; wired; julie garwood; women's fiction; romance suspense; romantic suspense books,contemporary women;suspense;romantic suspense;contemporary romance;romance;contemporary;love;dating and relationships;computers;hacker;hacking;code;coding;secrets;security;sabotage;slacker;tech;industry;computer science;model;federal bureau of investigation;cyber security;intel;intelligence;summer reads;beach books;beach reads for women 2017;beach reads for women;julie garwood kindle books;wired;julie garwood;women's fiction;romance novels;romance suspense;romance books;romantic suspense books,Contemporary Women,FICTION Romance Contemporary,FICTION Romance Suspense,FICTION Women,FictionWomen,Romance - Contemporary,Fiction - Romance,American Light Romantic Fiction,Federal Bureau of Investigation,Officials and employees,Romantic suspense fiction,Romantic suspense novels,United States.,Fiction,Adult & contemporary romance
Wired Buchanan/FBI Julie Garwood 9780525954460 Books Reviews
I purchased this book in hardcover. Apparently 's "Pre-order with one click" doesn't work unless it's a kindle edition. I had to manually go through the order process. Then there's the actual book itself. The paper was one grade up from newsprint. I've bought paperbacks printed on better quality paper.
It's difficult to say what was missing from the story, but something was. All the little details Garwood usually puts in her books to enrich the story just were not there. It definitely needed an epilogue. For all the buildup concerning the Detroit issue, the resolution was too simple.
Not her best, but not her worst either.

My Take on the Book
The book’s blurb makes the story seem interesting, but that’s not really what you get with this book. I feel duped.
Let's Talk About the Girl...
Allison Trent broke the law a few times but just with the purpose of helping others. So working for the FBI or any other government agency is not something on her wish list, but the excitement to do something that everyone thinks she’s incapable of is enough of a motive to sign a contract to work for the FBI cyber unit.
Let's Talk About the Guy...
Liam Scott, a FBI agent, was working on a case that was going pretty well until someone leaked information about the case that could jeopardize the case as well as the agent’s credibility. The FBI cyber task force can’t find the person responsible for the leak so he needs the best damn hacker to do it.
Let's Talk about the Story...
This was my first book by Julie Garwood. I can’t say that I’m going to try another.
Something was certainly off.
Allison’s life is not an easy one. She and her sister lived with her aunt and uncle after their parents died. The problem was that their aunt and uncle hated them both and only cared about their son Will, who spent most of the time finding ways to end up in prison. And guess who had to work as a model to pay the lawyer’s bills? Allison that’s who. And that’s where Liam took a giant importance in her life. He gave her a feeling of protection and affection that she wasn’t used to. Allison was a good character she’s not the strongest woman you will meet because she’s constantly doing what her relatives ask of her but she’s pretty confident in her capabilities.
Liam is not new. Bad boy that looks like a god when wearing a suit. Almost everything he does is confidential so we barely know him to be honest. We know he likes women but not to have a serious relationship seeing as he’s traveling for work most of the time. We don’t know his family and we only know his friends because they’re also his partners. Liam for all his protective man in charge attitude still came off somewhat wooden. I never felt like his personality was too delved into, he was always on the go without the reader having time to really get to know him, let alone Allison.
Regarding the characters, there was a lot of things that I think were unnecessary. There’s a lot of rambling about characters that aren’t that relevant for the book while important characters like Liam are barely developed. He spent most of the book away at work, spending weeks and weeks without saying a word to Allison and we know nothing about him. After I finished the book I can’t even say for sure if they had an extended conversation. They did have moments of chemistry but their interactions were such hit and runs, nothing ever felt flushed out. The beat in their relationship just felt off.
Allison and Liam were two very analytical characters and that could be why they were harder to connect with as their thought patterns were pretty decisive but it also had them coming off a bit stiff. The over abundance of villains and obstacles thrown in their way was too much and clogged up the story.
Even though I felt the heroine was too sweet, the hero was a bit cardboard cut-out, and one too many bad guys running around, Garwood’s writing still has a readability that can’t be denied.

I have been reading books written by Julie Garwood for over a decade. Her characters were generally fun, well developed, and interesting. Her plots were intelligent and not romantic trash. This book was dull. Dull is the only word for it. I wanted to smack the lead characters in the back of the head and wake them up. The female lead - seriously, I was so bored I cannot remember her name in the book - just let the male lead (Liam? Leo?) walk all over her. He made all of her decisions and she just went right along with it. And seriously, how many people can want to fight/kill/take advantage of/harm ONE female character? There were the evil aunt/uncle/cousin, the sister who was described as her bestie - then portrayed as a hag, the random former roommate who ends up being part of the big bad, the big bad, the big bad's hired thug, the guy at work who ended up being nothing but was maybe the big bad... I could go on and on. It's almost as if Julie Garwood had a clip art file of plot points that she'd randomly jotted down throughout the years and tossed them ALL into this one book. It was just stupid. So I'm out. I actually don't believe that the same person who wrote the Rose trilogy wrote this awful book. No more Julie Garwood for me. She's lost her energy and focus. This type of boring slop is something I'd expect to be pushed onto me as a freebie Unlimited self-published with crayon cover art. No thanks.
I am a Julie Garwood fan. I always look forward to her book releases knowing that at some level I will like them. Wired was a true disappointment.
