Blog Tour: Review & Excerpt of All Geek to Me by Allie York



Author: Allie York
Release Date: February 13, 2020
Publisher: self-published
Series: Words for Nerds #1
Genres: Contemporary Romance, Romantic Comedy

I, Noralee Reynolds, lead the ultimate nerd life. I own a comic shop, have a great group of geeky friends to work with and wear a different cosplay every day. Since inheriting the family business I’ve had no time for a personal life of my own. Even if hosting a speed dating event makes me wish otherwise.

I, Wyatt Collins, lead a hectic life. As a single dad, I've only got time for two things - raising my son and being a cop. I wasn't looking to cuff myself to anyone. Then I crossed paths with a nerdy comic shop owner who made me think twice.

Things are great until a little self-doubt has Noralee wanting to run away.

Can Wyatt convince her that he can be her real-life superhero?

My thoughts:

All Geek to Me is a cute romance involving Wyatt and Noralee.  Noralee is the owner of a comic book shop and cafe.  When the store next door is broken into, she meet Officer Wyatt.  Their meet cute (or should I say "meet ouch"?) leads them to wanting to get to know each other better.  

I thought this was a fun romance.  I loved Wyatt.  The speed dating scene was really funny.  I also knew I was going to love Noralee when she gave her take on Romeo and Juliet.  I feel the same way, sister!  There was a great chemistry between the couple and they had some great laugh out loud moments.  Can anyone really be THAT clumsy?  The only thing I wish was that it was a little longer.  I wanted to get to know all of the characters more.  I hope there will be stories for Noralee's three friends in the future.  I want Rae's story.  She was my favorite.  I definitely recommended this one for anyone who is a geek at heart.



Excerpt

“I’ll speed date if you need me, but I’d rather not. You three are the ones who need to find men. Aren’t you lonely?” Greer hasn’t heard from Neal in four days and we all know it, but none of us have the heart to be mean to her about it. It’s not worth her heartbreak.

“Me? Lonely?” I look at all three of them. “I can’t get rid of any of you long enough to be lonely.”

“Oh whatever. I saw you fall all over that cop. Literally.” Tuesday tosses her hair over her shoulder.

“She isn’t wrong.” Greer gives me a look that says she’s on to me.

“No lies detected.” Rae pushes her glasses up on her nose with her forearm so her fingers can be used for whatever she’s playing on her phone.

“Oh! What if he comes to speed dating?” Tuesday straightens and grins like the Cheshire Cat.

“I can guarantee that he isn’t coming to speed dating at a comic shop.” I roll my eyes and lean to shut off the computer for the night. It’s almost closing time and everyone has cleared out except for a few lingering kids in the comic club. “There is no way he’s single,” I add stupidly. I should have just denied the fact that I think he is the hottest man I’ve seen outside a Marvel movie… or Aquaman.

“So, you admit that you want to check out what’s under that uniform?” Rae stops looking at her phone and blows another bubble.

“He’s been here three times now. What if he did come? Would you do it?” Greer crosses her arms over her chest and stares me down.

I am so sure of myself that I hold up my Mocking Jay salute. “If Officer Collins shows up, I’ll not only participate, but I’ll also buy you all drinks when we go out Saturday night.” There is no way in hell that man would ever show up for speed dating, much less at Words for Nerds.
