Caring, hardworking, Annie Petrov's about to quit the job she loves. Why? From day one she's been in love with Jack Lasater, her computer-genius boss who--grasps intricate code and computer security but never understands people. Five years of being valued only as the executive assistant who makes his life easier is no longer enough for Annie. If she goes now, she can leave with her pride intact.
As she writes her letter of resignation, an unexpected call from Jack's estranged, successful surgeon father upends Annie's plan and Jack's life. His dad's multiple-facility Hope Medical network's computers have been hacked. He needs Jack's expertise to discover the hacker and prevent another intrusion. Jack wants nothing to do with his father, but Annie points out this should be a "bottom line" decision. And though she doesn't say so, Jack needs to face his father. . So Jack grits his teeth and takes the job. Now she cannot leave, not when Jack needs her help to navigate the troubled waters between father and son.
After Jack cleans up the Hope mess and designs a new security system, the hacker steps up his attacks. Hope Medical fears he might target patient records. Someone could die. As Jack works to expose the hacker, the true reasons for the estrangement from his father will also be exposed. Is Jack ready for the truth and more importantly, ready to admit what he's ignored all along--that he loves Annie? What will at last break through his emotional firewall?
Four unlikely couples find opposites do attract even in the shadow of mystery~

Sweet contemporary Christian romance.
-
I am generally not a fan of romance novels but I really liked this one. It was realistic, dealing with some serious issues. It was not simple nor overly sweet. I connected with the characters right away.
I don't know how Cote packed so much into this short novel. There were divorce and remarriage issues as well as marriage relationships in general. There was hurt from the past that needed healing. There were misunderstandings that needed straightening out. Compassion and forgiveness were needed. There was even a bit of a mystery as a hacker was creating havoc for a hospital.
This is a good novel for readers who like some depth to their Christian romance novels. You'll see some real life situations with characters who struggle, trying making sense of their feelings. You'll meet a couple of young boys who are the sweetest kids. You'll see the healing brought to pass by trusting God.
I received a complimentary digital copy of this book from the author. My comments are an independent and honest review. -
Only Her Heart is the first book in the Opposites Attract series by Lyn Cote. Annie Petrov is about to quit the job she loves. Why would she do that? She’s in love with her boss, Jack Lasater. The computer genius who understands code and computer security more than people only sees her as an executive assistant. Annie has had enough. However, before she can turn in her resignation, their personal lives explode and the focus becomes putting out the fires. Jack’s estranged father needs his help finding a computer hacker and Annie’s sister surprises everyone when she leaves her husband and twin sons. As they deal with business and their personal lives, will Jack open his eyes and see Annie as more than just an employee?
Lyn Cote writes stories with love, romance, faith and a bit of mystery. It is a fairly quick read packed with lots of activity, perhaps too much activity. Unfortunately, Only Her Heart was a bit confusing with way too much going on. With Jack’s issues with his father, Annie’s situation with her sister, and other relationship developments, the mystery of the computer hacker was put on the back burner. When it was solved, it was not the shocking reveal I would expect. I enjoyed the characters. They were real, relatable with real life issues: anger, resentment and forgiveness. There were times I wanted to tell Annie to mind her own business. Overall, I enjoyed Only Her Heart and will continue the series. If you enjoy stories of love and faith, you may enjoy Only Her Heart.
Only Her Heart is available in eBook. -
Only Her Heart by Lyn Cote
Opposites Attract Series Book One
Annie Petrov had a tough decision to make. She was considering making a huge change in her life. She loved her job, but she couldn't stay there. But just as she's about to make her move...everything seemed to fall apart. And she just couldn't leave her boss in such a mess.
Jack Lasater didn't really see people. He saw everything in computerese. Luckily he had a partner and executive assistant who could deal with the human side of things. When someone from his past comes to him for help...he wants to refuse. Sadly, the money will help him to help his mother. So...no choice but to take it.
I loved this story. Shed a few tears and a few smiles. Wonderful characters...both adults and children. And how things in our childhood stay with us—although, we usually don't see them as they actually were. Looking forward to more in this series.

I really liked this story!
Jack, Tim, and Annie started a company together. Jack is the computer genius, Tim finds the jobs and Annie basically does everything else as the office manager. Annie loves Jack, but Jack is clueless and barely notices that she exists. Tim has been off lately and Annie isn't sure what's wrong. When Tim tells them that he's found another job, starting up another company and he wants them to buy out his portion of the partnership things start making some sense. While that is happening, Jack's estranged father wants him to take on a job for the hospital that he is a board member and surgeon for - someone is hacking their computer files and causing havoc. In the meantime, Annie is wanting to resign - but how can she with all of this going on? She just can't work with Jack loving him and him ignoring her - but then things start changing as they go through these struggles and Annie sees a glimmer of hope!
A good mild suspense and romance story that is clean! -
Only Her Heart was such a good story! This contemporary romance paired two people who were very different from each other, yet it worked! I loved Annie’s heart and the way she cared about Jack, even when he was clueless to her feelings. And I loved the awakening that began to occur for Jack. It was definitely wonderful to see him begin to be drawn to Annie.
This story had great main characters and side characters, with interesting and important situations that needed resolving. I enjoyed this book from start to finish and look forward to reading more in the series.
I received a complimentary copy of this book. All opinions are my own.

I really like Annie and Jack. Jack shuts out the world and is so focused on what he is doing that he doesn't even notice Annie. Then one day as Annie is getting ready to quit her job, everything is upended and everything changes. Jack is forced to pay attention to his world and it turns out that Annie is his world. They both have things to overcome, but with some perseverance, they just might be able to make it.

This is a very interesting story, and I can't wait for the next book in the series! Jack and Annie are definitely opposites, which causes some very interesting situations. The mystery involves a computer hacker, and the issue of anger and forgiveness is prominant. This seems like the beginning of a very good series.

Mr. Brain & His Assistant
Annie was in love with her genius boss, but he seldom ever really saw her. Work was his life. Until the day his partner quit to go with another new start up business. Annie knows she can’t leave him now because he truly needs her help. She knows the business better than anyone. So what happens next is the heart of this easy read with its great nuggets of truth. -
Good Book
This is my first time reading this authors books and I will be reading more. This book was fast paced and full of unexpected twists. It started with a line that caught my interest and continued throughout. The spiritual growth of the characters was inspiring and the "computer hacker" was a surprise. -
I borrowed this on Kindle Unlimited, but when I read the prologue…I’ve…read this before? But GoodReads doesn’t shows it as released in 2019. But I have the distinct impression that I read this as a hard copy quite a while ago? I KNOW I’ve read that prologue before, I distinctly remember a plot with 0s being added because someone was told they were nothing but a zero.

The slow start was worth the wait.
It seemed to start slowly, but I love Lyn Cote books so I kept reading. I'm glad I did. The story wasn't what I expected. The main guy was hard for me to like. How could Annie be in love with him? I loved the twists and the surprise ending. I would recommend this book to my friends as I haver her previous ones. -
I was given an advance copy of this book, but am not required to write a review.
I will of course write one, because I really enjoyed this tale. I loved the mystery of trying to figure out the hacker- and following the cute love story. -
I enjoyed this story. Author Lyn Cote writes stories that are easy to relate to and have interesting characters.

The Hacker
