Naomi Connor is the hottest computer security consultant in the field. She's all about breaching unbreachable defenses before hackers can, but her new assignment is a security audit fror the company she nearly destroyed years ago as an illegal hacker. She doesn't realize that returning to the scene of her crime will put her heart on the line too.
When chief technology officer Joe Casey hires a "hacker" to test his company's security, he never expect her to be so sexy, so desirable, and so totally wrong for him. Conservative at heasrt and cynical about love, Joe's not used to letting his defenses down for any woman. But Naomi has ways of penetrating all kinds of firewalls - and generating the kind of sparks even Joe can't ignore.
But with a secret like hers, romance could bring big trouble...

My Thoughts
Big Trouble is the story of Naomi Connor, a former computer hacker who now uses her talents as a digital security expert. Eager for a promotion and to make amends for a hack she did as a teenager, she signs on with Brennan Shipping to test the company’s newly overhauled security system. Naomi has it all, brains & beauty however she is very self-conscious of her body, feeling that because she is a gorgeous blonde with a killer body, her body is all that people see.
Joe Casey, acting Chief Technology Officer, Assistant General Counsel and heir to Brennan Shipping is a smart, sexy & reserved alpha male. He never dates colleagues, never goes beyond the 3rd date and never, ever brings a woman aboard his boat. Joe clearly remembers the night when Brennan Shipping was hacked by R@ptorGurl and how it affected his family. As a result, he has zero tolerance for hackers, no matter how reformed they are.
When Joe & Naomi find an internal breach, they must take their work outside the office in order to maintain secrecy and to attempt to catch the hacker. Defences come down and both give in to their attraction which makes for some hot, steamy love scenes. While investigating the breach of security, Joe starts to suspect Naomi due to her unsavoury past while Naomi finds that all evidence points to Joe. The story climaxes when a secret from Naomi’s past comes to light and their affair comes to an end.
Big Trouble, is a book that has it all: humour, suspense, intelligent characters and dialogue, tension and tons of sensuality. It is a fast paced novel with fun glimpses into computer security and “geek” talk. All in all, a wonderful book, one that encouraged me to seek out Marianna Jameson’s first novel My Hero, which is the story of Chas, Joe’s brother and where we first meet Joe.
