I remember liking this a lot more, but this was not good. I only save one-star ratings for books that I feel should never have been published, this wasn't quite that bad.

This book is full of grating stereotypes, and all of the characters are juvenile. The plot is contrived, and the development of the story is incredibly uneven. I realize this can be said about all trashy romance novels (I use this term with affection, not derision), but this book is far more offensive of these literary offenses than most books in this genre.

Unless you have been given this book to read, and you have NO OTHER books to read, I wouldn't recommend reading this book.

I love this series. Always fun and imaginative. A little hokey at times but I still liked it. Perfect for the beach or long trips.

This one was about an electric engineer. Not my fav among the "nerd series" but a great way to spend a slothy Saturday Afternoon.

This feels like a fanfiction for a fandom I'm not in. None of the characters have any personality and the plot was held together with duct tape and safety pins.

Fashion model Eve Dupree is fed up with being labeled "the pretty one" while her sister's called a genius. Eve's got loads of brilliant ideas, not the least of which is the invention she's building in her garage. But when she turns to the nerd next door to help get it off the ground, she finds herself on dangerous ground.

Charlie Shepherd has discovered that there's more to Eve than meets the eye. But it's not just her body he likes--it's those sexy brains of hers. Romance is a complication he doesn't need right now. The problem is, she has something he needs and he can't seem to resist her.

Keeping her creation under wraps is harder than Eve expected--as is denying her attraction to Charlie. But when a saboteur starts sniffing around her project, she questions everyone around her, even her nerd in shining armor. Can opposites attract or will they ignite a fire they can't control?

This book was ok, but not super memorable. In fact, it took me months to write the review after reading because I put off writing the review and then forgot about it. The one thing I really remember wanting from this book was for more about what happened with the sister and former bad guy. Also, I remember liking the main characters but being a little underwhelmed with the story. However, I do plan on reading more of this series.
