Customer Reviews

Great Beach Read

Really enjoyed this book. Loved the main characters. Harry and Lainie really had a connection on the pages. Lainie's son, Dexter with Harry was so cute. Enjoyed the atmosphere of the Vegas showgirls. Harry's mother was hillarious. This is an extremely quick read. If you're looking for a light, funny, cute book this is the one for you especially just to lay in the sun.

Nerds continue their rule

Lainie Terrell is hard working single, whose son happen to be genius and who happens to work at a Las Veges Casino. Harry Ambrewster is a nononsense account who lives in the same apartment as Lainie. When Lainie starts having problems with her son's father, Lainie turns to Harry for help. What happens next is anyone guess. "The Nerd who loved me" is the second in the series by Vicki Lewis Thompson. This book is as good as the first book in the series. As before Ms. Thompson offers up great story that will make the read laugh out loud.

The Odd Couple

Las Vegas showgirl Lainie Terrell has to leave town fast. The abusive father of her five-year-old son suddenly decided he wants their child. Joey Benjamin owes some really bad people some really big money. He doesn't give a damn about his son. He never claimed Dexter and hasn't even told his family the kid exists. But things have changed. Joey's billionaire father wants a grandson, and Joey plans on using this kid to obtain the money he needs. Now if he could only get rid of Lainie. There's no way he can take a showgirl home to "Daddy." Lainie doesn't know what Joey is up to, but she knows it's no good. She turns to her friend Harry Ambrewster for help, but she's apprehensive because she has feelings for Harry-feelings that could change their relationship from just friends. She knows he could never accept a woman like her in that way-or could he? Harry Ambrewster, accountant and genius extraordinaire, has to save Lainie and her son Dexter from this drunken madman who came banging on her door claiming to be the child's father. Harry sneaks the two out of town to his mother's. His mother, a former showgirl, comes up with this crazy scheme to help keep Lainie and Dexter safe while she matchmakes between Harry and Lainie. If everything works out for his mother, she'll have a daughter-in-law and a grandson by the end of this ordeal. While I was reading THE NERD WHO LOVE ME, my children came to check on me a few times. They couldn't understand why their mother who was in a quiet room, sitting in a chair, reading a book would just burst out in hysterical fits of laughter. The cast of characters, both main and secondary, were well-developed and fun to read about. I'll definitely be in line for future works by Vicki Lewis Thompson.

The 'NERD' of my Dreams!!

Vicki Lewis Thompson has done it again!!! The 'Nerd' books are the BEST books I have ever read!! This is an exciting romantic suspense tale with a touch of the paranormal that hooks the reader from the beginning. An overwhelmingly fun story that comes highly recommended by me!!!

We Need More Nerds!!

I absolutely loved this book. I thought Nerd in Shining Armour was great but the Nerd Who Loved Me has taken the cake. Bring on more nerds Vicki! I can't wait until Nerds Gone Wild in Feb 2005.
