Heard so much about this series lately, I had to try one. It was cute, as everyone says. Was not the deepest book I've ever read, but it was entertaining enough to make me want to sneak it into work in my purse to find out what happens to the castaways (i.e. if they ever breakdown and get it on) during my lunch break.

This is actually the first one in her Nerd series, but they all have different characters, so no need to read in order. Light humerous book that keep me laughing, and enough steamy parts that hubby wanted me to "keep reading that book!"

Vicki Lewis Thompson is one of my favorite Harlequin writers. Her "nerd" series, NOT published through Harlequin, is a great idea. The books are different, not typical romances with everyone being beautiful and perfect. This particular book is funny and witty and the writing is sharp. It's a perfect vacation read.

What a fun read! I wasn't expecting this to be such a perfect airplane book; I'd expected cliches and predictability. Sure, I got some, but I also got the best darn Southern drawl/twang/dialect I think I've ever read.

I loved this book. It had everything that a nerd like me could love: geeky jokes, romance, and suspense.

A cute story plot with two people stranded on a small island off Hawaii...He's a nerd (glasses and mismatched clothes and all), she's a beautiful woman. He'd always had the hots for her, she only had eyes for their boss, who ends up betraying her.

This was a fun read. I do not normally read "romance". However, I do like a good story. The whole series is just humorous. It changed my outlook on romance novels. Loved it.

I'm not much for romance novels, but I ended up getting this one as a gift, read it and actually enjoyed it quite a bit. It was a fun (though silly) read. Very cutesy.

I really had mixed feelings about whether or not I liked this book. There were a lot of improbable moments (plot holes galore!) and things that will make you roll your eyes, but nothing so bad as to make me quit the book altogether.

And, even though we know how this kind of story ends, I doubt the couple (if they were in the real world) would even last. There just isn't much passion between them and it felt very dry. She's also trying to constantly change the guy instead of being willing to meet him halfway. Call me a cynic, but I've seen too many relationships of people I know end, because one person keeps trying to change the other and have them give up the things they love.

One thing I did like about this book is that it has an independent female character. Sure she might go for the wrong guy in the beginning, but who hasn't?

This was a cute book. I loved that almost the whole story took place on a little island outside of Hawaii. Living in Hawaii, I didn't even know this island existed. But as I read on, I found out what it was... Very interesting to have to read a book titled "Nerd in Shining Armor" to learn something new about the place I've grown up.

This is a fun story about a nerdy guy in love with a beautiful woman who, thankfully, is down-to-earth and comes to accept him. It is a fanciful tale for those of us who aren't mainstream and are often overlooked, but have plenty to offer in a relationship. I find that so many stories revolve around beautiful people that it is hard to relate. This is a nice story of everyday folks finding each other and falling in love during extraordinary circumstances. We all have the potential of being someone's "Nerd in Shining Armor." Check this one out! I think you will enjoy it.

If you enjoy romance, this is a cute book. I haven't read any romance books in awhile and I enjoyed this one. Very light, easy read. Characters are charming and funny. If you are looking for a quick read, this would be the book. Enjoyable.

Good book. Not as good as the following 2 in the Nerd series, but hey, an author has to start somewhere, right?

Genevieve is determined to make a love match with her womanizing boss Nick. When he invites her to go along on an overnight business trip she jumps at the chance. Unfortunately for her, nerdy computer whiz Jackson is also coming along on the plane. When Nick turns out to be a really big jerk and a theif at that, Jackson is left to save he and Gen from crashing AND surviving on a deserted island until someone, hopefully, comes along to rescue them.

Jackson has been in lust with Genevieve for as long as he can remember and this forced island rendevous is just what he needs to show her that he is not just Jackson the Nerd, but JACK, a man's man with all the skills needed to keep her happy in AND out of the bedroom.

Takes a bit of back and forth for them to get to the happily ever after, but no so long as to completely compromise the story. All in all it is a good read to start off Vicki Lewis Thompsons Nerd series.... If you like the rest, this one is deffinately worth the read.

I really enjoyed this book, it was really funny!
The characters are enjoyable to read about.

THE TITLE THREW ME WHEN I PURCHASED THIS OFF EBAY BUT I THOUGHT WHAT THE HECJK SOMETHING DIFFERENT FROM MY NORMAL READ TURNED OUT TO BE AN EXCELLENT READ!@

What fun! A hillbilly who dresses like a 40's movie star moves to Hawaii with her family. Star-struck by her boss, she goes off for a "weekend" meeting on the private jet with the boss and their geek techie. Think corporate crime, hillbilly know how, stars and survival.
Another winner by Thompson.

The best in the Nerd series in my opinion.

Good read.

I couldn't seem to finish this book, a bad habit of mine but here is the synopsis from the back

back cover:

For Genevieve Terrence it seemed like a dream come true: a weekend alone on Maui with her sexy boss, Nick Brogan. But little did she know that Nick had dreams of his own - a nefarious scheme that nearly got her killed on the flight over the Pacific. Lucky for her, brilliant computer programemer Jack Farley was on board and quick-witted enough to crash-land the plane. Now Jack is her sole companion on a remote desert island with nothing but guava trees and sharks for company. Who'd expect the shy genius - and the least alpha male she knows - to turn out to be the uninhibited stud of her wildest dreams?

Saving Genevieve's life has made Jack a hero in the eyes of the woman he has secretly lusted after for months. Now they're alone together in a tropical eden where they're free to give in to their every sensual whim. But when some nasty unfinished business puts them at risk again Gen will learn there's nothing quite as dangerous as a fully aroused ex-nered who'll move heavan and earth to protect the woman he loves...

Cute book.
