Finally finished this series, and I didn't think I really liked Eloise at first, but she grew on me! Such a snarky little brat, but great comebacks, and quick wit. Rhett ticked me off at first too, but he also did when he showed up in Parker's book. (Which makes sense since he's her brother).
They are polar opposites in SO many ways, yet also so similar. I thought their story was perfect. Perfectly LOL moments aplenty, (OMG Parker's cell conversations, had me literally laughing so hard).
I'll say 3.5/5 spice
4/5 LOL!
All in all this first intro to Pippa Grant is a winner. I'll certainly be checking out more of her stuff!

Great Read!
This is my 2nd fav in the series. I love Rhett- he has intrigued me since Parker’s book, and I’m so glad that he falls for Elouise. This is a great world that Pippa Grant has created, and this story is fantastic. Keep ‘em coming!
If you’re looking for a lighthearted read, this series of standalone novels is an awesome one.

You can’t take these books too seriously if you want to enjoy them. They are slapstick funny and worth your financial & time investment (though I’ll cop to my KU membership)
My biggest complaint is that these books are listed as “Stand Alone” and aren’t even linked as a part of a series. Yes, they have a beginning, conflict/drama, & resolution ~ but if you’re reading them out of order YOU ARE MISSING SO MUCH. Characters/antics from previous books are mentioned or referred to and you just won’t get the full effect if you’re reading these silly nilly.
So do yourself a favor, go to Pippa’s website and check out the order they were released in and dive in.
As for this book in particular ~ I *LOVED* Rhett & Eloise. They are independent people and yet mesh so fantastically together. Eloise is over the top quirky and Rhett gets and appreciates her in a way that no one really does. I really enjoyed getting to know them better and am hoping that we’ll see a book about PigPen and other team members sometime after Gavin. (Hint,Hint Pippa! 😉)

Eloise and Rhett are one of my favorite funny book couples. Right from the start I was laughing out loud, but I was also drawn into the passion and dedication that they both have everything they put an effort into. I had so many favorite lines in this book, so many LOL moments, just so many of everything it's easy to say I loved The Hero and the Hacktivist.
Rhett Elliott, an American hero SEAL, also known as Parker's brother and now Knox's brother-in-law (which up until now their story has been my favorite Pippa Grant book-check it out if you haven't-it's hilarious and oh so good!). Like a good brother, Rhett is attending their wedding when he is propositioned by Eloise, Parker's bandmate and current bridesmaid. The moment is hilarious and I found myself snort-laughing through the entire "seduction". I fell in instalove with both characters right out of the socially awkward-passion filled gate. The story barely begins, we have an instant connection, but Eloise never goes back for more after she's had a taste and no matter what she does to shake Rhett for most of the book, for very good reason, he sticks around. She fights justice in her own way, but it unfortunately it puts a target on her back for some very bad people to come after her. It's a good thing a certain SEAL can't seem to get over her quirkiness, nor get over his huge...ego or hero complex when it comes to helping people even when they don't want it.
Eloise and Rhett appear like opposites when you see them together, but they are more alike than anyone would have ever realized as they spend more time together. Can two heroes who fight for justice work together when they fight in very different ways?

Cute story. Loved Eloise and all her wackiness. Rhett was her complete opposite and it was hilarious to not only see their interactions but also him fighting falling for her.
