Like it or not, we all know how the youth tend to categorize each other and rank each other into social "leagues".  Whilst I consider myself to be a bit of a geek, I was very popular and not socially considered to be a geek because I didn't fit the stereotypes of a geek.  Well, working with stereotypes we all know what the stereotype of a geek is and I am sure even at the thought we all conjure up the typical brace-faced, glasses-wearing, calculator-brandishing nerd.  In contrast I am sure you can imagine the typical popular girl, total babe, uber over-achiever.  Completely different leagues.  Well, that just about sets the scene for the story, except... in this case the geek actually wins over the babe.  His years of fantasizing culminate in an old-school plot to win the girl and it actually works!There is definitely nothing old-school, however, about how their relationship ensues and we are thrown into vividly delicious stories about how the babe rocks the world of one lucky little geek who cannot believe his luck.  Well this geek, Ron, definitely makes the most out of this opportunity as he takes charge in his relationship with miss popularity, Adriana.This is a steamy story and is well written but I felt that Sandra Ross could have given it a slightly more unique edge instead of abiding by the boundaries of the typical `geek meets babe' that is portrayed in many stories.  Perhaps I am just used to Ross' other novels that are more often slightly more different from the norm.  This is still a very easy-to-read and amusing recant.
