This was a really enjoyable read! I’m definitely infatuated with the male love interest.

Janie loves trivia and puts it in every conversation. After discovering her boyfriend with someone else, she is out of place and then she gets fired the same day. Luckily the cute security guard, who she was secretly watching escorted her out and put her in a limo.
He later offers her a job. There is chemistry between them and they fall fast and hard for each other.
My favourite part of the book was the knitting club, that Janie was a part of. I greatly struggle with the book. I think that the point was for Janie to come across as very smart, but her verbal diarrhoea slows down the story to the point, that I had no idea what is going on.
While I like the idea behind the story, I didn't like Janie. I think she was meant to come across as quirky and super smart, but I didn't get that vibe. More like the opposite - she was controlled by both guys and had trouble staying in the present. She likes to escape and disassociate from reality to the point that stuff just happens around her, without her being a part and she just goes with the flow. Not my kind of story.

I understand that the whole point is that the main character is ~quirky~ (read: autistic), but the way the author wrote her inner dialogue drove me nuts. Too many adjectives. And weirdly seemed like a man wrote this female character with how her body and sex thoughts were described.

Even though the character is over the top I was really starting to enjoy the romance and one or two Laugh-out-loud moments.
But then the word "Slamp" was introduced & used over & over again!!! It has really put me off & actually made me quite angry if I'm being honest!
I'm guessing a Slamp is Like a cross between a Slut & A tramp ...basically any girl that sleeps with a guy without being in a relationship.
It annoys me that authors don't consider these girls feelings (I know I know they are fictional but still)
Maybe these girls have had a rough upbringing & this is how they deal with it, or maybe they are so enamored with the guy that they hope sleeping with him might make him see them differently or maybe just maybe, and here's a crazy thought, maybe they are very busy women who haven't time for a relationship and all it entails but enjoy the stress reliever that is a great orgasm with someone who knows what they are doing.....
OK wow...rant over :)

This is not your average bodice ripping insert tab a into slot b romance novel. In fact, none of that extraneous description is present if that's your intention picking up this novel. I absolutely adore Janie, probably b/c I captured the male version of her over a decade ago and haven't let go. However, I think the book should more appropriately be titled, "Human Seeks Neanderthal" since Quinn was on more than one occasion frustratingly annoying in his pushy, hostile, somewhat arrogant, and quiet lust for the beautiful geek. Not really sure he deserves her awesomeness.
