Now admittedly anyone who knows me knows that "Thor" (at least insofar as Chris Hemsworth is concerned) doesn't do much for me looks wise.  Loki though? Loki everything does everything for me so yes I was very much interested in this novella.  Moreso because I found the first story, THE LUMBERFOX to be a fun, sexy and delightful read.  I've read a few romances where "geeky" or "nerdy" is used to describe either one or both love interests and to be honest it rarely feels...genuine.  Melissa though--I know people like her.  People that will argue with you as much about HOW a geek-centric word is used as why it should be used over another one (Hothlanta?  So much cooler then Snowpocalypse mmkay?).As a couple Melissa and Mark are hot, their chemistry definitely off the charts and you can tell its not just because they both happen to find the other sexy.  Mark's more relaxed attitude towards work and life (relaxed, but not lazy or unprofessional) is pretty much what Melissa needed.  Their banter before, during and after their romantic escapades makes it clear neither is taking what they feel lightly, but are cautious enough to understand if its all "I'm here, you're here, hey we both like things!" sort of deal as well.I do think some of the tension that occurs felt more superficial then in the first book.  This was more of a common miscommunication error then it was 'wait let me make sure I'm not being blind' misgivings from THE LUMBERFOX, but Lovelace keeps it short lived.  I did love the fact that Lovelace made sure another character got theirs--small details throughout and then the whammy at the end made it wonderfully fun.You can read this in any order with the first book or with the next book (THE DAPPERFOX), the stories are interconnected only through the location (Atlanta...I mean Hothlanta) and shared geeky references.  Winter is Coming indeed.
