Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Vicki Lewis Thompson's Nerd In Shining Armor was a blockbuster New York Times and USA Today bestseller. Her next deliciously sexy novel features an irresistible nerd and the woman who discovers she can't get enough of him... She's got the high-kicks... Lainie Terrell is no ordinary single mother. With feathers in all the right places, she's one of the hottest showgirls in Vegas. Aside from a hot-tempered ex-boyfriend on her sequined tail, Lainie's biggest problem is finding a decent babysitter for her son. Lainie's dilemma is solved when she ropes Harry Ambrewster, the casino's shy-but very smart and cute-accountant, into the task.
He's got the low-down... Inheriting his chemist father's high I.Q. and sexy good looks, Harry has always been intrigued by Lainie. He isn't thrilled at the prospect of babysitting, but he'll do anything to get near the gal who fuels his craziest fantasies. Then Lainie's dangerous ex comes knocking... Their option? Run faster than a pair of net stockings... In disguise and on the lam, Lainie's masquerading as the perfect wife. Harry's doubling as the he-man protector. But with a set-up this hot, who's fooling who? When the lights go down, and the masks come off, a nerd like Harry could be just the right ignition to set a woman like Lainie on fire... Review:"Straightlaced accountant Harry Ambrewster grew up as the mascot for a gaggle of Vegas showgirls, his mother Rona among them. Though he picked up some useful skills (like how to belt out the entire score of Oklahoma), the experience left him with one rule: never marry a showgirl. Still, that doesn't stop him from lusting after his neighbor, Lainie Terrell, or sympathizing with her son, Dexter, a younger version of himself. When Lainie's ex-boyfriend, Joey, shows up looking to use Dexter as bait to gain his inheritance from his tycoon father, Lainie accepts help from Harry, Rona and Rona's senior citizen boyfriend, who may have connections to the Mafia. Rona cares for Dexter while Lainie and Harry hide out at a Sedona time-share. Despite their Vegas heritage, Lainie and Harry possess a charming innocence, and their journey toward love — in what turns out to be a humorously decrepit vacation spot — provides constant entertainment. Smart, spunky and delightfully over the top, Thompson's newest Nerd romance (following Nerd in Shining Armor) possesses all the sparkle and vibrancy of a Vegas show, and it's just as sexy. Agent, Maureen Walters. Forecast: Thompson's previous title hit bestseller lists after Kelly Ripa selected it for her reading club. While this book won't have the same media push, it should benefit from the success of its predecessor and word of mouth." Publishers Weekly (Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information, Inc.)

Synopsis:This follow-up to the blockbuster "New York Times" bestseller "Nerd in Shining Armor" features an irresistible nerd and the woman who discovers she can't get enough of him. Original. About the AuthorVicki Lewis Thompson's been crazy about nerds all her life, but it was always a private passion. Then, in the summer of 2003, she went public with her romantic comedy Nerd in Shining Armor. Turns out Kelly Ripa also likes nerds and chose the book as her Reading with Ripa Book Club pick of the summer. In no time, the book hit all the major lists: New York Times, USA Today and Publishers Weekly. Understandably, Vicki's passion for nerds has increased tenfold. She lives in Arizona with her husband, who insists he's not a nerd but who does, in fact, wear glasses and is very good at math.
