Review: Nice chemistry!

This piece revels in anything and everything "geek" and I do love that about it.  But on the flip side, that did seem to be one of the early downfalls of it.  As in, the beginning meandered trying to emphasize just how many different areas of fantasy and gamer she was into rather than just focusing on just the bits and pieces that pushed the story forward.  It would have been fine if this had been a full-fledged novel, but as a novella, words are few and precious and shouldn't feel like someone was trying to fluff it out.  And on another note, I personally find the term "geek" to be offensive (maybe it's not so much in England), akin to the terms "nerd", and "dweeb". Being one myself, I personally prefer referring to myself as a sci-fi/fantasy fan. I did love the character of Katie and, yes, enjoyed the chemistry of Katie and Frankie. (Though the erotic scene turned me off a bit each time "juices" were mentioned. ick!). I know it's just a novella, but I keep thinking it would have benefitted from being longer, more drawn out getting to know the two characters since even by the end, Frankie still felt like he was just trying to get a conquest wherever he could.
