Is there anything sexier than a geeky PhD? Connor has the geeky down pat. Even though he's thirty-five and the star of UC Berkeley's physics department, Connor still lives in his hole in the wall grad school apartment, wears old clothes, is completely socially inept and hasn't had a date in forever. Why should he move if he's happy where he's at? When his best friend and business partner throws him a surprise party, Connor almost throttles him. Meeting Wes, a senior physics student, on the balcony turns out to be both the high and low point of the party. The high because he gets to relax and talk about his work. The low because Wes comes on to him and Connor gets so flustered he rejects his advances.Work throws them together the following weekend at a physics conference and one thing leads to another. There's something Connor doesn't know about Wes and their "meeting". Something Wes never wants him to find out because Wes has liked Connor for a long time. I was lucky enough to have a mom who paid my tuition but so many kids are out there struggling to survive and get an education so they can make something of themselves. I can certainly understand why Wes had to do what he did when his grant was lost due to the economy. He's a senior at a prestigious college working to get into the doctoral program so Wes pretty much has to do whatever to pay this final year.This was a wonderful story that I enjoyed a lot. The romance between Connor and Wes was sweet even through all the angst. I'm not so sure how I feel about Connor's best friend, Steve, and I'm sure he's going to play a role in future stories. Both Connor and Wes completely deserved the happiness they found together and I look forward to seeing them again.NOTE: This book was provided by Riptide Publishing for the purpose of a review on Rainbow Book Reviews
