Review: Nerds Need Love Too
Rating: 4 out of 5

This may have been one of my favorite stories of the series (after The Gamble). This book (along with Lady Luck) really shows an overlap of the characters who were introduced in previous stories. I like seeing those characters integrated into the storyline. Same basic formula elements apply, and there is the requisite kidnapping during the last few chapters of the book. That said, I think it should be noted that I HATE the word "Frak". It was driving me nuts, as well as some of the nerdy Cyclon rants that Faye had when she got angry. Nonetheless, I liked both Chace's and Faye's characters. This was the first story where the woman is actually "from" the Colorado mountains and is experiencing unrequited love for thirteen years as opposed to running away from a bad relationship and stumbling upon Carnal and Gnaw Bone. It's interesting how these remote mountain towns can have an overabundance of hot, amazing alpha males unclaimed and ready for the taking. It looks like the series will continue, this time revisiting Gnaw Bone so I'll have to check that next book out.
