The Nerd Who Loved Me by Vicki Lewis Thompson
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...
I have to say I enjoyed this one. I didn't know what quite to expect. Can a nerd really be hot? Harry proved to be hot. The shower scene, hot DAMN. Yeah baby, hot is what that scene was.
I liked other than the fact Harry was really smart, he was just an ordinary guy. Normal guy, who had a crush on someone he never thought he could approach. I liked Laine was an approachable girl. She wasn't an air head, she wasn't a biznitch. She was a likeable person who just got involved with the wrong and who would do anything for her son.
And the TITS (temptress in Temporary Suspension). According the book, Harry's mom, a former show girl and her friends came up with the acronym. Then they figured out what it could stand for. I can honestly see myself and my girlfriends doing the exact same thing.
I give this one a B+
