Book Description:
Hot movie star Zoe Tarleton gets piles of money but no respect because she always plays a beautiful bombshell. When she gets the chance to play a geeky chemist working on a formula to combine weight loss, sexual potency, and anti-aging in one powerful pill, she is determined that this role will open up her career. Zoe may be too hot to understand her character, but she has a plan: her ultimate nerd lawyer Flynn Granger can teach her the ropes. Flynn agrees to help Zoe out, but he's strictly business about it--his girlfriend is a Harvard professor and he plans to propose the next weekend. But when he sees Zoe in an outfit she considers nerdy, he realizes he's taken on an impossible task--she's just too cool to change. As they rehearse scenes in a secluded California cabin, they'll have to embrace their alter egos and fight the growing attraction between them. And they'll have to dodge an increasingly unstable stalker who wants to end their relationship...and Zoe's life. Gone WIth the Nerd is Vicki Lewis Thompson at her fun, sexy best.

Tedious read. Predictable ending with 1st 1/4 of book. Not VLT's best work.

The first book "The Nerd Who Loved Me" was much better but this was still very entertaining.

Vickie Lewis Thompson has created an interesting concept with her "nerd" books. This book is centered around a movie star & takes place in California's "Bigfoot country". It will make you chuckle with all the antics that take place.

I absolutely adore Vicki Lewis Thompson's NERD Series. As a woman married to a man who would, in all likelihood, be described as a nerd, I know first-hand how hot these guys can be! Ms. Thompson has served up another steamy slice of nerdiness in GONE WITH THE NERD.

Zoe Tarleton is a movie star known far and wide for one thing-- playing the bombshell. With her beauty and first-class body, she's made plenty of films--but she's tired of being known as nothing more than a pretty face. Then the chance of a lifetime falls into her lap--the chance to audition for the role of Vera in an action-adventure movie, a part that could, if played right, earn her a Golden Globe. The only problem is that Vera, a chemist working on a miracle drug, is a flat-chested, bland, nerdy woman. To turn her bombshell into a dud, Zoe needs to learn how to be a nerd, and she knows the perfect person to help guide her--entertainment attorney Flynn Granger. She's spent plenty of time with Flynn over the past few years, working out contracts, and she knows he's just the man for the job.

Flynn has always been attracted to Zoe in an off-hand, it-could-never-happen sort of way. After all, she's Zoe Tarleton and he's, well, a nerdy accountant with glasses, a monochrome wardrobe, and a Honda Civic. So when Zoe suggests spending the weekend in Long Shaft, California, home of the Sasquatch, for him to advise her in nerdiness, Flynn agrees, on the condition that he can tell his almost-fiancee, Kristen, what they're up to. The only problem is, even before they reach Long Shaft, Flynn's realizing that being in close proximity with Zoe--dowdy or not--is a real danger to his libido.

GONE WITH THE NERD is an absolute riot, and Zoe and Flynn are adorable characters. The steam these two generate is enough to erupt a volcano, and the suspense and paranormal aspects thrown into the story add an exciting mix. I love how Zoe realizes that there's more to life than fame and fortune, and how Flynn comes to understand that blending into the background of life isn't necessarily the best way to go.

You won't go wrong with this nerdy tale, and I for one am eagerly anticipating the next one, TALK NERDY TO ME.

Summer reading at it's best, as long as you're not too interested in plot or believability.

Zoe Tarleton is a famous movie actress who wants to be taken a little more seriously in her roles. She is up for audition for a 'nerdy' role, but has no idea how to be a nerd. So she enlists her lawyer for the part, and invites him to a cabin (in Bigfoot Country no less) to work on learning the part.

Flynn Granger, her lawyer and apparantly, nerd of the hour, is at first a little put out by the suggestion that HE might be a nerd. But he admits to nerdy tendencies, like carrying his precious PDA in his front shirt pocket everywhere he goes. And the idea that his famous client needs HIS help is a little absurd to him, but he reluctantly agrees to the weekend away from the city to help her prepare for her role. Besides, he'd love to get a sighting of Sasquatch, the culmination of his inner nerd... i mean... child... dreams.

"A beauty looking for her inner nerd. ~~~ Movie star Zoe Tarleton has everyting but respect. Now she's determined to get it by snagging the coveted role of a plain-Jane chemist. All she needs is for her decidely uncool attorney, Flynn Granger, to teach her the award-winning subtleties of being a nerd."

"A nerd unleashing his inner beast. ~~~ California's 'Bigfood Country' is the ideal secret hideaway for coaching. That means rehearsing the steamy scenes too. Who'd have guessed that Zoe and Flynn's performance would be so convincing? Unfortunately, something is turning their hot love story into a hair-raising thriller."
