Gone With the Nerd The Nerd Series Vicki Lewis Thompson 9780312998585 Books

So I loved Vicki Lewis Thompson when I was younger. 'Nerd in Shining Armor' was the first romance novel I ever read, and I still have my copy of it and it's dog-eared to pieces and halfway falling apart. I was looking for another romance novel to read and I knew I had read this before but I may have lent out the book or misplaced it or something, so I re-bought it on my kindle. I never noticed before but the writing style in all of these 'nerd' books is so incredibly juvenile and stunted. Things are repeated over and over and the dialogue that Ms. Thompson puts in these characters' heads is just so strangely written to me. She explains things in the way a child would explain them, and points out things that don't need to be pointed out. It's hard to describe, but it's driving me nuts and while I finished the book to know what happens I didn't really enjoy it. I have quite a few of her books and I will always respect her for introducing me to romance novels, but I can't take this writing style as a woman in my 30s.

Gone With the Nerd The Nerd Series Vicki Lewis Thompson 9780312998585 Books Reviews

I've been following this series and I've pretty much loved every one of the books, "Nerd in Shining Armor" and "The Nerd Who Loved Me" are both firmly tied for first place. I just don't think "Gone with the Nerd" really measures up to the rest. What really killed this book for me was Flynn. He's just not nerd enough for me. That and, I'm sorry, the fact that he's on the verge of proposing to his girlfriend yet can't hardly keep it in his pants after a scant few hours alone in a cabin with Zoe, just irks me. It's a major flaw in his character that pretty well puts me off. I don't find myself rooting for this relationship to work out because, despite the fact that he realizes he's not really in love with his girlfriend, he's basically become a cheating jerk in my eyes.

I gave it 3 stars because the writing was still there, the ending was sweet, and I kind of enjoyed the Bigfoot thing. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for "Nerds like It Hot".
In this installment of Vicky Lewis Thompson's "Nerd" series, a movie star-Zoe Tarleton-is paired up with token nerd, Flynn Granger, a Hollywood contract attorney.

Zoe spirits Flynn to a small town to give her nerd lessons for a role she hopes to land. When they arrive in a Bigfoot-crazed area, strange things happen. Is a blueberry cobbler supposed to foam up in the garbage disposal? And what about killer bees and crashing trees? This story promises hot romance with a thrilling hint of danger.

Promises and hints only take a reader so far. "Gone with the Nerd" gets high marks for premise, but low marks for believability. The two main characters in this book are fraught with contradictions. Zoe acts the selfish diva one minute, and is suffused with morals the next. Even in a fast-paced romance, it's hard for me to believe she falls hard for her attorney after mere hours, despite knowing him five years; and vice-versa with Flynn.

Flynn, the nerd, isn't as nerdy as one might expect. Wearing glasses does not a nerd make. As a woman married to a true nerd, I can attest that Flynn barely qualifies, especially after the book concludes. Flynn's motivations for being with Zoe are understandable for any hot-blooded male, but a nerd wouldn't handle it nearly so well. My husband agrees that Flynn would not be accepted into Club Nerd.

A reader may also be put off by how Zoe and Flynn deal with their morals considering his impending engagement to his girlfriend. Romance readers like their heroes and heroines to be heroic, but these two come up short, even if these issues are "resolved" at the end (which a romance reader expects). And if they are not behaving as they normally would outside of this weekend adventure, how can they really expect to be ready to get married after two days?

In the end, if you enjoy steamy romps that end happy, it's a decent read. However, if you are distracted by double standards and inconsistent behavior, there are many other reading choices available. C.W.
In Hollywood, glamorous actress Zoe Tarleton asks her lawyer Flynn Granger to allow her to study him so that she can learn how a nerd thinks as she hopes to land the non sexpot role of Vera Parsons, a research chemist in the film the Billion Dollar Pill. Flynn tells her he is going to marry Harvard professor Kristen Keebler, but he agrees to meet her in Long Shaft, California so that he can teach her to behave like a nerd, but also will tell his fiancée the truth. Zoe wonders how it would feel to have someone protect her like he does Kristen.

In Long Shaft, Zoe meets her high school friend Margo Taggart, who has arranged everything. Flynn arrives and one look at Zoe tells him she over killed the nerd bit. He also enjoys the Bigfoot paraphernalia in the area as he appreciates cryptozoology. As Zoe observes Flynn and rehearses her role with him, they begin to fall in love, but questionable accidents and strange sightings seem to interfere with their kisses.

The strong lead couple carries this nerdy but fun tale that will send the audience seeking previous nerd novels (see NERD IN SHINING ARMOR, THE NERD WHO LOVED ME, and NERD GONE WILD). The story line is amusing with a touch of suspense caused by the incidents that seem to happen a lot to Zoe. The Sasquatch locale and the two youngsters the lead couple meets add humor. Although the intrigue subplot involving the accidents seems an unnecessary stretch, readers will enjoy the romance between the accounting nerd and the sexpot actress.

liked it a lot! more suspenseful than I expected! funny and interesting story line. Vicki Lewis Thomson knows how to make very likeable characters.
As with every book I have ever read by Vicki Lewis Thompson , this one had me hooked from the beginning. Gone With the Nerd was a very funny, sexy read. Enjoyable from beginning to end. I highly recommend it!!
One of my wife's favorite series. Great author, who is a super lady by the way. If you want a book that will make you smile or laugh when you read about the nerdy people in life, this is a great series. Wish it was bigger so I could buy my wife more as gifts!
