Talk Nerdy to Me
An explosion in a closed garage is something that electrical engineer Charlie Shepherd just can't ride past on his Harley, but when he stops to give aid, Eve Dupree, a fashion model, won't open the door. When she tells him she is building a bio-fueled hovercraft in her garage, Charlie is smitten by her beauty and her inventive genius. Even though he doesn't want to get involved in a relationship because he is planning on moving west, Charlie can't keep himself from having wild sex with Eve. Meanwhile, someone is repeatedly breaking into her house, and Charlie is sure the culprit is after the hovercraft. Thompson's colorful cast of secondary characters--Charlie's mom and aunt, who run an X-rated bakery; Eve's next-door neighbor, who practices alien sex games; and Charlie's cousin, a famous photographer--provide comedy as well as suspects. Readers who enjoy romances featuring laugh-out-loud dialogue and wildly inventive sex will find both in Thompson's latest.Diana Tixier HeraldCopyright © American Library Association.
