Rating: 5 out of 5

When I got to the third page where Sark is wearing a shirt that reads "There's no place like 127.0.0.1," I realized two things.  First, I am *such* a nerd for getting that joke *and* laughing, and second, I was probably going to really enjoy this book.  Turns out, at the end of the novel, I can say that both things are true!Let's face it, the small time girl catching the heart of a bazillionaire has been done many, many times before as has the mistaken identity theme.  I was wary of reading the novel, because I've read so many versions as it is.  That said, I really enjoy Ms. Silver's story!  In the stories I've read, the focus is usually that the poor heroine is "saved" by the super rich guy that's super suave.  In Love, Technically, these characters don't follow that mold, which makes the story so much more enjoyable.Michelle Kolson is a plucky and easy-to-like heroine.  She's 25 and moved to Chicago from her small town in Iowa, because she came to the startling conclusion that she hasn't been as far as Des Moines her whole life.  She decides to go for her dream of moving to the big city and exploring life away from her small town.  It's not easy, but she's fighting to keep her dream alive.  I like that she takes initiative, and that she doesn't take crap.  She doesn't need anyone saving her, because she'll save herself.Noah Frellish, aka Sark, is adorably geeky, and I loved his character.  I enjoyed the fact that he felt "real" as opposed to standard cookie-cutter billionaires in romance novels where they're always suave and perfect.  Despite being CEO, he's frustrated with his job and seeing Michelle immediately is way more important to him than getting home to rest when he's tired and looking that way.  He really likes Michelle, and it's sweet.  You can really see how they'd fall in love due to physical attraction *and* also through their budding friendship.Without giving away the ending, I'll just say that it was great!  I loved the resolution, and the epilogue was--although maybe a little too perfect--perfect!  Aside from one love scene, there really wasn't any gratuitous sexual references, so I'd actually rate the heat level as medium.  Overall, I'd rate the novel as a 5 out of 5 and recommend it to all of you who love geeks or just a nice romance with relatable characters.(Originally posted on my blog.  I was given an ARC in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.)
