Make-up artist Gillian McCormick has the unfortunate luck
to witness a murder committed by the step-son of a mafia
boss using a purple pair of stiletto-heeled Jimmy Choos.
Fearing for her life, she agrees to go on a nerd cruise
with her dear friend, octogenarian Cora. Fearing for
Gillian's safety, former Hollywood actress Cora assists
plain-Jane Gillian with a disguise, making her over in the
image of Cora's friend from the old days, Marilyn Monroe.
Cora also arranges for two private investigators to
accompany them on the cruise.
Lex Manchester and his partner, Dante Fiorello, are less
than thrilled at having to undergo a nerd makeover for
their latest case, but the money is good, and Lex is
willing to do anything for the lovely Gillian, even if it
means revealing his inner nerd to the world. The cruise
ship appears to be the best place to hide from the mafia,
so armed with walkie-talkies and code names Norma Jean,
Clark Kent, Screen Goddess and Italian Stallion, the four
join a ship full of nerds and others looking for love on
the high seas.
Unfortunately, someone searches Gillian and Cora's room
shortly after their arrival, and a game of cat and mouse
and secret identities begins. Things really start to heat
up when Lex and Gillian end up sharing a cabin. Between
karaoke and limbo contests, the couple are scoping out
possible mafia hitmen. Could it be Little Ben, Cora's new
companion, or BJ, Dante's nerdy hook-up? Time is fast
running out as someone begins making attempts on Gillian's
life.
NERDS LIKE IT HOT is without a doubt the best in Ms.
Thompson's hilarious nerd series. Gillian and Lex are made
for each other. Cora and Dante and their respective nerds
are perfect foils for their friends, and the twists and
turns throughout the story will have readers laughing out
loud. Sure, we know who the bad guy is, but it's a fun ride
to the end, and a few surprises are saved for the finale.
Fans of Ms. Thompson and her nerds are going to love NERDS
LIKE IT HOT!
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 demeanor 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…
