I would rate this book 2-stars because of the unnecessary sex scene and unrealistic contents.

It's just an average book. Some parts of the book felt unoriginal and I couldn't relate to most of the characters.

I found gaps in some plots like how she narrated the story between Dan and Cynthia. The author should have increased the depth of the story and shown better the relationship between Cynthia and Dan since she decided to put them in the book's Title. But, however I gave the book the overall rating of three, course the things I love about the book are more than the negatives.

I was hoping for a much stronger female role. I didn’t like the book’s cringe-worthy dialog and the creep factor both men exuded. The character interaction felt dated with phrases such as ‘oh dear’ and ‘gee whiz.’ As a professional woman, I would never refer to a coworker as ‘dear’ or ‘honey.’ It bothered me that Cynthia possessed extraordinary skills, such as a black belt, computer savvy, and was head of security. Yet, she hid her gifts under the guise of a diminutive assistant. Finally, I didn’t like the title because I don’t understand why Dan got top billing. I rated the book a 2.

I was onitruged by the cyberwar story. The other aspect was a No for me. I rate the book 3 due to its unrealistic nature.

I felt like the novel was very disconnected all throughout the story.

I enjoyed the book for a while. It got boring as the cyber war lacked creativity. I gave the book a rating of 3 stars.

This book did not really appeal so much to me. The part of this book that had to with the cyber was was the part I would consider a bit interesting. But Cynthia's relationship with Sky really bored me. I will rate this book 3 out of 4 stars due to the unrealistic story.

I didn't really enjoy this book. I found the characteristics of the characters to be quite similar, and the language felt ridiculous. The concept of a cyberwar against terrorists was appealing to me, but there didn't seem to be much of a battle there.

I rated it 5/5 stars. I love the narrative style of this book. The story was engaging and interesting. I loved the cyber war aspects but Cynthia love relationships were quite uninteresting to me. I thought Dan was the main character alongside her as he was mentioned in title but he is not.

I give this book three out of four stars. The author combines action, romance, and plot twists in her work of fiction. She works hard to help the reader visualize the novel's setting.

This book was enjoyable and I also admire the geeky characters, Tim and Garth as they were able to hack into another country's computer system by shutting it down. It was quite amazing
