Book seventy-nine: Nerds Like it Hot

Nerds Like it Hot (2006)
Vicki Lewis Thompson

Rating: 1.5/5

Still frustrating: good writing, let down weird characters and too much talking/planning/discussing.

She’s unleashed her inner vixen…

Hollywood makeup artist Gillian McCormick wouldn’t normally be caught dead on a cruise aimed at single geeks. But as the sole witness to a murder, hiding out may be her only chance at staying alive. With P.I. Lex Manchester guarding her, and a voluptuous disguise in place of her plain-Jane wardrobe, Gillian should be safe… if she can resist a titanic attraction to Lex that’s making her fantasize about some extra-naughty cruise activities…

He’s rediscovered his inner nerd…

Lex thought he had left behind his nerdy ways, but his suave demeanour has no chance against Gillian’s bombshell image and the smart, sexy woman within. And when the scent of seduction wafts through the sea air, what’s a red-blooded male to do?

And the passion they’ve found is about to get out of control…

With a passenger list that includes a mobster on a mission, a cross-dressing sociopath, and hundreds of lusty nerds, Lex must find a way to keep Gillian safe—and prove that he’s truly her nerd for all seasons…
