I am a dork and I am proud of it so I was very intrigued when I saw this book on goodreads last weekend.  I loved the characters, the little bit of humor the author snuck in and all the dorky video game and movie references:)I absolutely love when I pick up a book and it exceeds every expectation I had.  This is Jennifer Jame's first novel so I had no idea what to expect but she did a great job at balancing drama, humor and steam!Abby has been burned by a man and I mean burned!  Who leaves their fiance at the church on their wedding day for their younger sister?  Umm, a big jerk that is who! She is still a bit sad a year later but she also has some spunk and a little bit of a sarcastic nature.  She doesn't see herself as a catch and has quit doing her hair and wearing sexy outfits because, well, she doesn't really want anything to do with men.  Thank you to women and their jealousy and the iPhone that shattered; this particular woman needed a man!Tom is sexy, confident and a real go getter which he has to be since Abby really doesn't want to be gotten!  He doesn't back down and seems to know exactly what Abby needs.  I loved how he used stolen kisses and nice boy charm to bring her out of her shell.These two were truly meant for each other with their dork memorabilia decorated spare bedrooms and all!  Seriously, what kind of couple fights over who is the bigger dork?  I really thought this book was going to come off as silly but the chemistry was no laughing matter.  I wanted more, more, more when it was done which is a sign of a great book!This book would be perfect for a beach read or a lazy Sunday afternoon when you can't decide what kind of romance you want; it has as great mixture of everything and was really well written!Here is an example of the humor I enjoyed..."And for your information, I have a date tonight." (Abby)"Oh, really?  Who with?"  Her tone said she didn't believe me.Mischief overtook me.  "Ben, Jerry, and Riesling.  Yep, we're gonna have a crazy orgy."And here is an example of Tom's sweet sugary side..."Every woman is a princess to someone.  Or she should be, anyway."Oh, Tom, you always have the right things to say!!!!
