    Synopsis

    In Nerd Gone Wild and The Nerd Who Loved Me, New York Times bestselling sensation
    Vicki Lewis Thompson gave the sexy intellectual his due. Now she's back at her boisterously funny best when she pairs a lawyer with an actress in order to make a Hollywood fantasy come true...

    A beauty looking for her inner-nerd.
    Movie star Zoe Tarleton has everything but respect. Now she's determined to get it by snagging the coveted role of a plain-Jane chemist. All she needs is for her decidedly uncool attorney, Flynn Granger, to teach her the award-winning subtleties of being a nerd.

    A nerd unleashing his inner-beast.
    California's "Bigfoot Country" is the ideal secret hideaway for coaching. That means rehearsing the steamy scenes too. Who'd have guessed that Zoe and Flynn's performances would be so convincing? Unfortunately something is turning their hot love story into a hair-raising thriller.

    Their sparks are igniting more than heat.
    The killer bees, the poisoned food, and the toppled tree are no accidents. Someone's out to get them. Does Flynn have a love-struck woman in his life? Does Zoe have an insanely jealous fan? Or is Bigfoot real-and more resourceful than anyone imagined? It's just Zoe's luck. She's finally found the man of her dreams and the role of a lifetime-and
    both of them could be her last.

    "Smart, spunky, and delightfully over the top-provides constant entertainment. Thompson's newest Nerd romance possesses all the sparkle and vibrancy of a Vegas show, and it's just as sexy."
    -Publishers Weekly on The Nerd Who Loved Me

    Publishers Weekly

    Ever wonder what might transpire if a nerdy entertainment attorney and one of Hollywood's hottest stars holed up incognito in a remote cabin in California's Bigfoot country? As this zippy, character-driven romance shows, just about anything can happen, particularly if the equation includes actress Zoe Tarleton and her lawyer, Flynn Granger. Eager to move away from her fluffy sex kitten roles, Zoe talks Flynn into coaching her on the finer points of becoming a nerd before she auditions for the role of a brainy chemist. Her request soon turns complicated when Flynn discovers the script they'll be working on is R-rated for its steamy sex scenes. Worse, someone (or something) has learned who they are and plans to do one or both of them in. Could the culprit be the star-struck teenager next door, Zoe's jealous high school chum, Flynn's girlfriend or Bigfoot? While it doesn't take much to figure out who's on the ugly end of the poisoned blueberry pie, gas leak and nest of killer bees, fans of Thompson's earlier Nerd romances (The Nerd Who Loved Me; Nerd in Shining Armor) will find this sexually charged, funny romp every bit as entertaining as those that came before.

    Biography

    VICKI LEWIS THOMPSON's been crazy about nerds all her life, but it was always a private passion. Then, in the summer of 2003, she went public with her romantic comedy Nerd in Shining Armor. Turns out Kelly Ripa also likes nerds and chose the book as her Reading with Ripa Book Club pick of the summer. In no time, the book hit all the major lists: New York Times, USA Today and Publishers Weekly. Understandably, Vicki's passion for nerds has increased tenfold. She lives in Arizona with her husband, who insists he's not a nerd but who does, in fact, wear glasses and is very good at math.

    February 16, 2009: I don't read romance novels much but she is a great author, sometimes I felt that it was all a little repetitive with all the nerd books(I have read most of them)However they were still really good.

    I Also Recommend: Nerds Like It Hot (The Nerd Series), Nerd Who Loved Me.

    October 30, 2008: I absolutely adore Vicki Lewis Thompson's NERD Series. As a woman married to a man who would, in all likelihood, be described as a nerd, I know first-hand how hot these guys can be! Ms. Thompson has served up another steamy slice of nerdiness in GONE WITH THE NERD.

    Zoe Tarleton is a movie star known far and wide for one thing-- playing the bombshell. With her beauty and first-class body, she's made plenty of films--but she's tired of being known as nothing more than a pretty face. Then the chance of a lifetime falls into her lap--the chance to audition for the role of Vera in an action-adventure movie, a part that could, if played right, earn her a Golden Globe. The only problem is that Vera, a chemist working on a miracle drug, is a flat-chested, bland, nerdy woman. To turn her bombshell into a dud, Zoe needs to learn how to be a nerd, and she knows the perfect person to help guide her--entertainment attorney Flynn Granger. She's spent plenty of time with Flynn over the past few years, working out contracts, and she knows he's just the man for the job.

    Flynn has always been attracted to Zoe in an off-hand, it-could-never-happen sort of way. After all, she's Zoe Tarleton and he's, well, a nerdy accountant with glasses, a monochrome wardrobe, and a Honda Civic. So when Zoe suggests spending the weekend in Long Shaft, California, home of the Sasquatch, for him to advise her in nerdiness, Flynn agrees, on the condition that he can tell his almost-fiancee, Kristen, what they're up to. The only problem is, even before they reach Long Shaft, Flynn's realizing that being in close proximity with Zoe--dowdy or not--is a real danger to his libido.

    GONE WITH THE NERD is an absolute riot, and Zoe and Flynn are adorable characters. The steam these two generate is enough to erupt a volcano, and the suspense and paranormal aspects thrown into the story add an exciting mix. I love how Zoe realizes that there's more to life than fame and fortune, and how Flynn comes to understand that blending into the background of life isn't necessarily the best way to go.

    You won't go wrong with this nerdy tale, and I for one am eagerly anticipating the next one, TALK NERDY TO ME.
