Tiara loved going to comic book conventions every year, however this year Tiara’s best friend Carrie is changing things up by making her go to speed dating. Yes, I know speed dating, Tiara wanted to throw-up. She wasn’t asking for a hot guy, they’re too much trouble. Tiara wants a guy that’s into D&D, conventions, cosplay, SciFi movies, binge-worthy TV shows, and comic books, vintage and new. In other words, a geek. There are three times the amount of nerd guys than nerd girls, and still she couldn’t hook one. But things change. Her eyes catch a gleam from the cosplay armor of Iron Man, and meets Adam, the man behind the mask. His power: the ability to make her heartbeat like a jack hammer. Has she found a geek for her very own? Adam comes to the comic book convention every year with his friends and family. After he beholds a beautiful Mother of Dragons, his purpose is clear - talk to her. Most women that come to these events have boyfriends, but this one was on her own. Adam realizes that the woman of his fantasy is real when she passes the ultimate test. She meets the family and survives the judgement of friends. But with the light of newfound love comes the dark. She is Dakota, aka The Ex. She was paid to be a cosplay girl, but her real agenda was clear. Get Adam back or dash the hopes for anyone else.

Scarlett Graham could think of a million better ways to start her summer vacation; sprawled out in the backseat of a minivan wasn't one of them. To make matters worse, listening to her father singing along with every classic rock song while her Uncle Max and my mom joining in all the time. When they were not singing, Uncle Max and mom were aimlessly chatting with Beth, giving her a headache that would never end. Of all the places to take a family vacation. Scarlett's parents chose a Dude Ranch in the middle of nowhere, Montana. They had noted excitedly, "We'd be able to ride horses and learn how to square dance." How thrilling. Not! Her little brother Rhett stayed behind with another Aunt and Uncle to work on a lame school project. Lucky him. While Beth, my boy crazy cousin, replaced him. Fate, or perhaps the devil, comes to Scarlett's rescue when she meets Ephraim Carson, the adopted son of the Sanderson owners of the ranch and Scarlett's first crush ever. Even though Scarlett's parents set rules that Scarlett and Ephraim follow, Uncle Max is having a problem with her being interested in boys. Can Scarlett survive her family vacation?

She caught her latest ex-hunk warming up for their romantic weekend by having sex with his secretary. So if all princes are jerks, then geeks—aka frogs—must actually be a sweet, reliable, overlooked species. Natural habitat: computer stores and libraries.

“A story of triumph, friendship, love, and above all, about being human and reaching for dreams in a hard-wired world.”—Seattle Times “Too often, writing about the online world lacks emotional punch, but Katz’s obvious love for his ‘lost boys’ gives his narrative a rich taste.”—The New York Times Book Review Jesse and Eric were geeks: suspicious of authority figures, proud of their status as outsiders, fervent in their belief in the positive power of technology. High school had been an unbearable experience and their small-town Idaho families had been torn apart by hard times. On the fringe of society, they had almost no social lives and little to look forward to. They spent every spare cent on their computers and every spare moment online. Nobody ever spoke of them, much less for them. But then they met Jon Katz, a roving journalist who suggested that, in the age of geek impresario Bill Gates, Jesse and Eric had marketable skills that could get them out of Idaho and pave the way to a better life. So they bravely set out to conquer Chicago—geek style. Told with Katz’s trademark charm and sparkle, Geeks is a humorous, moving tale of triumph over adversity and self-acceptance that delivers two irresistible heroes for the digital age and reveals the very human face of technology. Praise for Geeks “Ultimately, Geeks is not a story about the Internet or computers or techies. It is a story about personal bonds, optimism, access to opportunity, and the courage to dream.”—Salon “An uplifting and hugely compassionate book.”—Philadelphia Inquirer “A story of friendship, optimism, social despair, and an updated version of that American icon, the tinkerer.”—USA Today
