Beauty And The Geek

by Roni Adams



      Newly pubbed author, Adams, knows her stuff. Her refreshing characters, the different plot, and the humor all add up to one delightful romance. Keep the books coming, Roni!

Louie, techno geek extraordinaire, has been in love with Becky for almost as long as he can remember. The built-like-a-brick-house brunette turns him inside out and makes him want to take her to bed - not only that, but to make her part of his heart. Of course, that fantasy would never see the light of day. To Becky, Louie is the Nerdman, a guy to fix her laptop and nothing else. No-way-no-how would the stiletto-wearing princess ever see him as anything else -or would she?

Becky loves Louie; he is the best friend a girl could have. Her makeover of his sadly lacking physical persona doesn’t garner the results she’d hoped for - Louie just won’t take her advice to heart. No wonder he’s fast becoming a stick-in-the-mud. However, her opinion changes drastically when he gets a renovation contract for the Old Ryan mansion at the edge of town. The vacant home has been the inspiration for many of Becky’s fantasies.

Louie is a bit overwhelmed when Becky offers to help him revamp the Ryan place. Can he work with her up-close and personal and still keep his emotions and sex drive under control? Once they reach a platonic relationship, his fears take a back seat when Becky wants to meet the new buyer of the mansion. How can Louie introduce them when he is the new owner?

Becky’s proposal for a Valentine’s Masquerade Ball with all the townspeople invited as well as Mr. M, as she calls the mysterious owner, allows Louie to play a part he has hankered for for years - to be the man of the moment in Becky’s life. That moment turns into hours of hot, sensual lovemaking. But as with anything good, there is always a downside.

Temper, regrets, and passions run wild when Becky finds out that Louie is the sexy Mr. M. Only time will tell if the woman of his dreams will forgive him or not. But, one thing Louie knows for sure, he won’t give Becky up without a fight!
