Tedious read. Predictable ending with 1st 1/4 of book. Not VLT's best work.

Vickie Lewis Thompson has created an interesting concept with her "nerd" books. This book is centered around a movie star & takes place in California's "Bigfoot country". It will make you chuckle with all the antics that take place.

First book that I have read by this author. Some parts of the book just kind of dragged on and I skipped thru the book quite a lot. The sex scenes were hot and the chemistry between the couple heavy.
Helpful Score: 1
The story is a little goofy but it is a fun read...nerds rule!
Cute...love the Nerd Series...always light and easy.
This satisfied my 'nerd' craving... :)
Funny, a good beach read
fun and quircky with a predictable ending
Summer reading at it's best, as long as you're not too interested in plot or believability.
Zoe Tarleton is a famous movie actress who wants to be taken a little more seriously in her roles. She is up for audition for a 'nerdy' role, but has no idea how to be a nerd. So she enlists her lawyer for the part, and invites him to a cabin (in Bigfoot Country no less) to work on learning the part.
Flynn Granger, her lawyer and apparantly, nerd of the hour, is at first a little put out by the suggestion that HE might be a nerd. But he admits to nerdy tendencies, like carrying his precious PDA in his front shirt pocket everywhere he goes. And the idea that his famous client needs HIS help is a little absurd to him, but he reluctantly agrees to the weekend away from the city to help her prepare for her role. Besides, he'd love to get a sighting of Sasquatch, the culmination of his inner nerd... i mean... child... dreams.

Another great Vicki Lewis Thompson from her "Nerd" series.
A famous movie star, a nerd lawyer, and bigfoot sightings! What more do you need in a romance? LOL
A journey of hysterical discovery to find the the sexiest part of the body is the brain.
fun, entertaining summer romance
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.

yet again, VL Thompson hits it right out of the park with the Nerd series.
Zoe is an actress - one of the hottest in the biz. She is tired, however, of playing bimbos and bombshells and NEVER being taken seriously. She finally has the chance at a meaty role and to get the part she has to figure out how to be a Nerd. For that she looks to her attorney Flynn. Flynn is a nerd and a man on the verge of getting engaged to his long distance nerdette.
Zoe and Flynn fly away for the weekend so that he can teach Zoe how to Nerd it up. They end up in Big Foot country and the town is as odd and looney as the mysterious beast. Oh, and they figure out that they have the hots for each other along the way.... add to their romance some nut job locals, a mean spirited old friend of Zoe's and a whole lot of mishaps and you have another zany tail of true love in the world of the Nerd.

I love all of Thompson's nerd books - this is her latest!!
What happens when the country's hottest movie star wants to win a golden globe playing a nerd? She goes to her nerd lawyer for assistance, but what happens, when Sasquatch abounds, and weird "accidents" occur. Will they find out that the brain is the sexiest part of the body?
This is one HOT book. I could hardly put it down. It's a bit steamy, so if you shock easily, this might not be the book for you. But, if you like a bit of spice, snappy dialogue and getting the cute guy in the end...this is the book series for you!
These are laugh out loud stories with well drawn characters. This one tells about nerd-in-denialbeauty Amanda who is completely overextended with an internship,college and a night job at a geek bar. She meets nerd hunk Will Sloanas the bag of sex toys she just purchased spills all over Will's feet as they rush into their mutual office building in the rain. There are funny odd characters and lots of tension.
In Nerd Gone Wild and The Nerd Who Loved Me, 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...
Very good book as is all of her "Nerd" books.
