Marianne (Australia) (2011/07/16): Nerd in Shining Armour, Vicki Lewis Thompson’s first book in the Nerd series, is set in Hawaii. Jackson Farley finds himself the third wheel on a plane trip to Maui when his boss Nick Brogan takes one of the firm’s secretaries, Genevieve Terrence, for a meeting and an overnight stay. At least, that’s what the plan was. But apparently Nick had other ideas, and suddenly Jackson finds himself trying to land a plane in the ocean near a tiny island. Meanwhile, Genevieve’s mother, Annabelle, is convinced something has gone wrong and enlists Nick’s business partner Matt Murphy to search for her daughter by sea. Jackson manages to be Genevieve’s Nerd in Shining Armour when they are wrecked on the island. Plenty of humour, some intrigue and quite a bit of hot sex. If it moved just a bit faster it would be perfect.
