In the latest installment of her highly successful Nerds
series, Vicki Lewis
Thompson brings us the story of an oversexed couples
therapist and the
workaholic college student who interns in her office. Amanda
Rykowsky is a
part-time intern, sometimes bartender, and full-time student
determined to
graduate from college with honors and go on to Harvard for
graduate school
before becoming a wildly successful adolescent psychology.
Nothing will
deter her from her path, even William Sloan, the
slightly-nerdy, very sexy
stockbroker who works in the same building as her and who
Amanda believes
is the secret admirer who is sending her mysterious valentines.
But as the notes become more disturbing, and the writer
becomes more
unbalanced, it becomes clear to Amanda that Will couldn't be
capable of
sending her the offending missives. When he sees that she's
actually
becoming frightened by her would-be admirer, Will decides to
step in and
play the role of boyfriend in the hopes of scaring the
culprit away. What he
and Amanda both don't realize is that when he moves into her
home with the
hopes of protecting her, no one is going to able to protect
them from the
chemistry between them...
MY NERDY VALENTINE is an entertaining, intriguing,
laugh-out-loud funny
romantic comedy with a hint of mystery to keep you guessing.
Vicki Lewis
Thompson does a great job of displaying that it's okay to be
slightly nerdy
because you can do so without sacrificing being sexy. The
character of Will is
the best of both worlds, an intelligent stockbroker who
knows how to treat a
lady and a fierce protector who will stand up for her when
necessary.
Similarly, Amanda reminds us that it's okay to be focused on
your goals so
long as you don't let them start to inhibit you from
enjoying your life. With a
supporting cast including Amanda's nosy, geriatric neighbors
Mavis and
Chester, her temptress sex therapist boss, and the nerdy
customers from her
night job at a bar called Geekland, MY NERDY VALENTINE
delivers surprisingly
amusing chick lit with an ending that you won't see coming.
Aspiring psychologist Amanda Rykowsky’s schedule is
certifiable. Between study, bartending, and an internship
with a sex therapist whose techniques would make a Playboy
bunny blush, there’s zero time for romance. Still, Amanda
is flattered to receive an anonymous Valentine…until the
messages take a sinister turn.
Stockbroker William Sloan swears he’s not the one sending
Amanda cards, but he suspects the culprit’s intentions are
more dubious than sharing a box of Godiva. Something about
gorgeous, determined Amanda brings out the usually
reserved William’s inner he-man, and he insists on acting
as a decoy boyfriend.
With a fake relationship masking some very real lust, it’s
only a matter of time before William and Amanda give in to
the sweetest of temptations. And once he’s dealt with her
secret stalker, William’s next mission is to strike Amanda
with Cupid’s arrow….
