Review: Can't miss nerd series with a nerd who may be a little too stereotypical.
Rating: 4 out of 5

I am a huge fan of Delphine Dryden, especially this adorkable nerdrotica series. However, as I started with the second book in the series, I felt compelled to go back to the beginning and read the first book, THE THEORY OF ATTRACTION.Here we have a somewhat geeky heroine, Camilla, who finds herself attracted to her neighbor, Ivan. Ivan is the stereotypical rocket-scientist nerd, completely at home with his work, but totally at sea when it comes to social interactions. Through a somewhat convoluted plot in which Ivan asks Camilla to help him with his social skills to save his job, Camilla finds out Ivan has a big secret when it comes to relationships; (view spoiler)While the sex is pretty hot and Camilla is a sympathetic heroine, Ivan felt very much like a character of the most-likely-on-the-autism-spectrum scientist. I wanted so much to love them, and yet I felt like Ivan borrowed his personality from the one show I should love and yet hate with the passion of a thousand fiery suns: THE BIG BANG THEORY.For those looking for nerdy erotica featuring people who know how to use a slide rule, this is definitely a can't miss series. However, for this first book, I recommend you gird your loins for a hero who may be a little bit too stereotypical for your liking.This review appeared previously on Goodreads.
