    About this ebook

    Jez is on a mission of mercy: to replace a tragically deceased comic book for his injured best mate, Tel. Venturing into the Hidden Asteroid bookstore in London—the temple of geekdom itself—Jez is bowled over by the guy behind the counter.

    Rhys is the poster boy for hot geeks: tall, gorgeous, and totally cool. Jez is desperate to impress him, so he bluffs his way through comic book jargon . . . and then dashes back to the hospital to beg Tel to teach him how to speak Geek.

    Tel’s happy to oblige, and Jez is over the moon when Rhys asks him out. He’s even more thrilled when they discover a shared love of rugby, something he won’t have to fake for Rhys. The question is, how long can Jez keep up the deception, and what will happen when Rhys realizes he’s going out with a Fake Geek Guy?

      3.0 stars for the writing and fun
      0.5 start for the twist at the end

      The story was well-written, funny, and with a self-deprecating main character who finally gets the hot guy. Some reviewers did not like the insecurities, but I found them charming and added to the story.

      However, while the sometimes tongue-in-cheek exploration of geek culture was generally fun, I found the twist at the end to be very disappointing. I would *not* recommend this book for any readers looking for a fun story about a geek in a gay relationship. I found this story to *not* be a "fun geek romance" at all.
