This book is still free, and I started reading it today because I was in the mood for a geeky hero after finishing a dark UF book. I'm about halfway through and really enjoying it.

Along with the geeky hero, it also features a heroine who totally refreshing - she's a plus sized woman (size 16-18 I believe), but unlike the usual trope in romance where women with curves feel all self-conscious, hide under baggy clothes, never go out, etc., this girl is bold, dates frequently, is totally into fashion and appearance, and although she is athletic, she isn't obsessed with her weight and constantly dieting. I'm loving that. We need more heroines like her. Although I haven't finished it yet, I would recommend the book for that alone.
