Talk Nerdy to Me

I love the Nerd series, but before I read this installment I was getting a little fed up with the fact that all the nerds were men. Being a female, and a nerd myself, I hold my title proudly and I'm very happy that I now have a heroine I can personally relate to in the character of Eve Dupree. This is the perfect mix of romance, comedy and good old-fashioned "nerd speak". It'll make you want to invent a few things of your own before you're through!

I bought this book for something to read while I'm waiting on some of my favorites to come out. I liked this book, it made me laugh. I thought it was cute. It was a nice light read after so many books that are intense and detailed. I will most likely buy the rest of her "nerdy" books. I enjoyed the characters also. Eunice and her aliens...lmao.

This book is such a riot. It is the first Nerd book that I've read, and I immediately went out and bought all the others. So far I've read Nerds like it Hot, and My Nerdy Valentine, and this one is still the funniest. This author writes with so much humor, that you are almost laughing at every page. The secondary characters are funny. In this case, there is a kinky neighbor, who tells people she was abducted by an alien and learned other-wordly sexual techniques. At the same time all the characters are 'normal' in the sense that they have normal human faults and insecurities. That's part of what makes the series so enjoyable - the very humanness of the characters. The premise of the story is that there is this beautiful model, who is also a genius at aerodynamics, who gets into a little bit of trouble with her advanced design on a hovercraft. The dichotomy between her being so gorgeous, and so nerdy at the same time was wonderful. Highly recommended. I've never laughed so much reading a romance novel.

I also picked this book up as soon as I saw the title. I love it when the female character in a book doesn't fall into predictable patterns of either being too soft and needy, or being over-the-top fiery and rebellious and putting up walls between herself and the man the author is trying to get to love her. Eve is a very lovable character. She believes in herself, and she knows what she wants. I like Charlie too. He is responsible, cares for his family, but he also has a big dream he wants to chase. I thought the sex scenes between them were funny and sexy at the same time. I agree the mystery plot was not all that involving (we all know from the beginning who is after the hovercraft) but the real mystery is how will Eve and Charlie both get their dreams, and each other. You really want to see them be happy together, which made it a very fast read for me. I can't wait to read more books in the Nerd Series.

Don't sit down to read this if everyone else is asleep. It was a mistake I made. You're guaranteed to laugh out loud at the dialogue and the crazy cast of characters...and the people asleep don't appreciate it. Vicki Lewis Thompson is one of my favorite all-time writers because I love the way she blends witty dialogue, memorable characters, and sex. Prepare to be entertained.
