My FallenCon agenda is simple: sit on a couple of panels and let people meet the real me. Jesse Garvy—mod of a famous Twitch channel and, if I ever come out of my shell, future vlogger. I definitely didn’t plan to sleep with a moody tattooed fan-artist, but he’s gorgeous and can’t keep his hands off me. There's a first time for everything, and my first time with a guy turns out to be the hottest experience of my life. But the next day, I find out my moody fan-artist is Ian Larsen AKA Cherry—someone I've known online for years. And he'd known exactly who I was while shoving me up against that wall. Before I figure out whether to be pissed or flattered, the con ends. Now we're back online, and he's acting like nothing happened. But despite the distance between us, and the way he clings to the safety of his online persona, we made a real connection that night. I don't plan to let him forget.

Finally we get the story behind Kai’s twitch mods, Garvy and CherryCakes. Before going forward, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE READ THE FIRST TWO BOOKS! I’m going to try and keep the spoilers to a min, but it’s kinda hard with this one.
As I was saying, Garvy and Cherry. After reading Fast Connection, you knew there was some tension between the two at FallenCon. We were all first shocked to find out that Cherry wasn’t a woman! When I first read it, I thought I was going crazy.
What I really loved about this book and especially the whole series, is how online relationships and personas are showcased. More than not, people are meeting people online and in fandom more than they are in bars anymore. Showing how the relationship between these two blossomed over a screen is something that really touched my heart.
There are so many good qualities to this, that I can go on and on about it. But I want you all to read this. Go explore and fall in love with these two.
Now that you've read the review, go read the book and listen to this playlist inspired by Ian and Jesse!
Thanks for having us on Lazy Book Lovers! Here’s a play list
for Hard Wired.
Look What Happened by Less Than Jake
-- Jesse plays Less Than Jake on his channel intro. This
song is all about gathering up the courage to leave town, and that is something
Jesse dreams of doing.
Motivation Proclamation by Good Charlotte
-- The lyrics are all about getting yourself motivated, and
Jesse sucks at it. I can picture him laying in bed playing this song, trying to
get the courage to follow his dreams.
Sex on Fire by Kings of Leon
-- This song really echoes the fireworks sexual energy Jesse
and Ian have when they are together.
Make Up Your Mind by Florence + the Machine
--Ian is really into moody music and indie stuff, and
Florence + the Machine is one of his favorites. This song in particular would
really resonate with him because it’s about taking risks while making hard
choices with some destructive behavior thrown in.
Faux by Novo Amor
--This is ultimate Ian music. I picture him listening to
this on a loop during the dark moments in the book. After the con when he
thinks he ruined everything, and when he starts being afraid to strip himself
bare and really be himself.
Paralyzer by Finger Eleven
--This song reminds me so much of Jesse in the first third
of the book. Especially at the convention. He’s so convinced that he’s boring
and awkward and that he isn’t enough to keep someone like Ian intrigued. Boy is
he wrong.
