3.5 StarsJL Merrow is an author I enjoy reading; she has a cheeky, fun style and I personally get a kick out of reading an English author who doesn’t Americanize her work especially when it’s set in London. Yes, sometimes I have to do a little research if there’s a term I don’t understand or can get from context clues but I even enjoy doing that and adding that knowledge to my brain. I rather enjoyed this M/M story between two young men, both whom feel the need to pretend they are something they aren’t to be attractive to the other.Jez will do anything for his best mate, Tel who is in the hospital following an accident including venturing into a large comic bookstore to purchase a replacement comic book that was destroyed in the accident. What Jez doesn’t expect is to meet a “geek” guy he would love to get to know better. So he asks Tel to teach him how to speak geek.Rhys is quite taken with the blue eyed blond who comes in for a comic book. When he returns for a second one, he decides he wants to know him better and asks him out but Rhys has a secret and he’s not sure how Jez will react to it.This was a fun little story and I enjoyed it very much. The one downer in this story was Jez’s self esteem issues brought on by a verbally abusive ex-boyfriend but thankfully both his friend Tel and Rhys try to help him give over that issue. The interaction between Jez and Rhys was at times innocent and other times very sexy. With both of them harboring a secret, this story had the potential to blow up but instead they handled their issues with laughter.I would have loved to have more time with these two however, It’s All Geek to me was entertaining, fun, and an enjoyable read.Review copy provided for an honest review.
