The Superfox is a little bit longer, a little bit edgier, and a little bit pop-culture-reference-ier than the Lumberfox, the first story in Lovelace's Geekrotica series. Like the Lumberfox, it's set during this winter's Snowpocolypse in Atlanta, this time with the characters snowed in at work. Melissa is a project manager on a deadline who thinks she's alone in the office until she stumbles on enigmatic photographer Mark. The two have immediate chemistry, but they build up to the big event with their comic-infused banter. The author does a good job making the characters, and the sex, real and believable.The superhero references start flowing right away, but as long as you've seen The Avengers I wouldn't worry too much about getting lost. Though some X Men might help too. My favorite movie reference though (maybe ever) was one that had nothing to do with superheroes. I'll let you spot it for yourself.I think the charm of this series comes from making subjects that are often intimidating accessible. Erotica makes a lot of people nervous. So does geek culture. People are afraid of being judged either for knowing too much or for not knowing enough about each one. Somehow combining the two makes them both more relatable. If you're undecided about either subject, give Geekrotica a try. It's a lot of fun for very little investment of either time or money.I won this book in an online contest.
