Beauty And The Geek

Beauty And The Geek
$12.99
When Becky Richardson comes into Louie Hanson's computer repair shop, he tries to be nonchalant to cover up his raging attraction to her. She has no idea she turns him into a "quivering mass of lustful need" because he's been hiding it for more than a decade. Becky is oblivious to Louie's true feelings, and he knows he has to keep his feelings to himself or risk ruining their friendship.

Louie doesn't want anyone to know he made a fortune with tech stocks and internet investments, so when he buys the old Ryan House, the mansion that Becky has always dreamed about, he pretends he's been hired to do renovations by some mysterious owner. He relishes the idea of getting to spend time working closely with her, and asks her to help him redecorate the big house. As they spend more time together working on fixing up the mansion, the two friends grow even closer. Becky slowly starts to come around, with an awareness of Louie that surprises her. But he's just her pal Nerdman, right?

Louie yearns to have an excuse to hold Becky, just once, so he plans a masquerade ball at the mansion so he can dress in costume and assume the role of the absentee owner, the mysterious "Mr. M." If he can disguise himself well enough, he'll be able to dance with her and not have to reveal his true feelings. But one thing leads to another, and the enormity of his deception spirals out of control. Ultimately, Becky's trust in Louie is shattered. Then, when Becky learns even more secrets hidden in the house, her life will be changed forever.

I really enjoy a good geeky hero, and Beauty and the Geek delivers a very likeable hero and a story that's full of exquisite sexual tension. Roni Adams has an engaging style that draws you in and keeps you interested until the very end. I'm not entirely convinced that superficial Becky deserves the wonderful Louie, but there are more than enough other elements that will appeal to romance fans. This is a fantastic read for contemporary romance fans who enjoy books with second chances for lost love.
