Totally fluff reading, and fun to boot! This is the fourth of Thompson's "Nerd" books that I've read this year. Like the others, I owe them to Jordanne who won them from me in a swap at BookObsessed. ( )

This book is horrible.. Still trying to get through it because I have to finish what I start. I am dumber every second spent reading it though! ( )

A fluffy romp, like all of these books are. Good fun and a quick, light read. ( )

All of the nerd series books do something well and something rather badly.

For Talk Nerdy to Me, the good is that brains are treated like a major part of what makes both the hero and the heroine attracted to each other. What else would a person who wanted to read a book called Talk Nerdy to Me want?

What it does badly is that the hero, though smart, doesn't exactly seem to qualify as a nerd. Nerdiness and intelligence aren't synonymous: nerdiness usually requires absorption in intellectual and creative pursuits to the exclusion of coolness by mainstream standards. The heroine might have that, but the hero exists in both worlds too easily. He's smart, but he's not a nerd. There's also a quality of absurdity to this book beyond early books in the series, what with the two older women running an X-rated bakery, among other plot points. ( )

From BackCover:
Fashion model Eve Dupree is fed up with being labeled “the pretty one” while her sister’s called a genius. Eve’s got loads of brilliant ideas, not the least of which is the invention she’s building in her garage. But when she turns to the nerd next door to help get it off the ground, she finds herself on dangerous ground.

Charlie Shepherd has discovered that there’s more to Eve than meets the eye. But it’s not just her body he likes—it’s those sexy brains of hers. Romance is a complication he doesn’t need right now. The problem is, she has something he needs and he can’t seem to resist her.

Keeping her creation under wraps is harder than Eve expected—as is denying her attraction to Charlie. But when a saboteur starts sniffing around her project, she questions everyone around her, even her nerd in shining armor. Can opposites attract or will they ignite a fire they can’t control? ( )
