Another winner in the NERD series. This one jumped right into the storyline and action. Eve is a model who is smart but never given the validation. Charlie is smart and HOT and has never been left needing any validation. He is riding his Harley home after work when he sees an explosion in Eve's garage. In order to assure him that she is fine, she meets him to play a round of pool and it is love at first sight... for them both.
The problem is that Eve wants to settle down in a small town and have that "home" she has never had. Charlie just wants out of his small town once and for all. But love always gets in the way.
I loved this book. I enjoyed the fact that I didn't have to deal with them fighting and seperating from each other for half the book. This book keeps them together the whole time and we get to watch their love grow without all the added drama that so often comes along with such stories.
Add in all the crazy characters, from Charlies Mom, the sex pastries pastryshop owner, to his cousin Rick and the two thugs keeping tabs on Rick til debts are paid, to Eve's neighbor Eunice who is way hotter than her name (and convinced she was abducted by aliens who taught her how to really do up sex right!) - this book has all the laughs and chaos that make Vicki Lewis Thompson such a pleasure to read!!!
This was my favorite VLT Nerd book. The dialogue was hilarious and kept me constantly wanting more. I'm still waiting to find one of her books that I enjoy as much.
A really cute fast read. Always enjoy this Nerd series. Don't underestimate smart people having hot feelings under all those smarts.

A bawdy romance with an unlikely plot of model who invents hovercrafts in her garage.
amusing story, and some steamy sex!
Great author - a fun read.
This is the second nerd book of hers I have read. I love the stories but she ruins them with too much sex. They would be so much better with less sex. This book the woman is more of a nerd then the guy. I would take this "nerd" guy anyday. Leather chaps, oh yeah.
A book full of colorful characters and fun situations. A fashion model with a wild invention - an engineer who want to leave town - and hot creative sex.
