Release Date: February 13, 2020

Publisher: self-published

Series: Words for Nerds #1

Genres: Contemporary Romance, Romantic Comedy


 Synopsis:

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?

Excerpt Copyright @ Allie York 2020

“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.

Review: OK, this book took me to my happy place in romanceland. First of all its nice to see girls that are geeks in books. I'm so happy that this is a thing here. I love that Noralee loves Doctor Who too, because well..that's my think.

This book was super cute to infinity and beyond, for all the right reasons.

I love geeky girls.

And Wyatt was precious. I love that he is a good dad, son and cop...and oh is his little boy super precious!

Oh and Words For Nerds is just a place I want to go and hang out.

Allie created friends that you want to get to know better and I hope we do, with each book.

There were a few plot twists that didn't really go anywhere including the break ins that brought the two of them together, plus I would have loved to have really learned more about Wyatt and how the mother of his son is no longer part of his life, but the story was so cute and laugh out loud funny that these things were forgivable.  Seriously, there were so many times I busted out laughing reading this book that it could have been embarrassing if I were in public!

This is a wonderful start to a new series! I can't wait for the next book!

Well they are back and its Piper, Eliza's sister and Derek, Murphy's friend, who are making a go at a relationship, which is all kinds of hot and steamy. Even when the unexpected baby thing happens.

Allie has created some really memorable characters here because starting this book felt like I was visiting with old friends. (Also I love Eliza and Murphy's dogs!)

I loved getting back into their lives and I really liked learning more about Sara. I can't wait til she gets her book, which looks like it might be coming soon. Squee!

Piper and Derek's relationship definitely undergoes a lot changes and one misstep too that made me want to shake both characters.

This was a totally fun read and a great start back to a fun series!

Excerpt

Copyright @ 2020 Allie York 

“It’s going to be okay,” he finally speaks just as we step out into the crisp morning air.

“If you say so.” I realize how terrible I sound and sigh. “I’m sure it’s nothing, so it’ll all be okay.”

“Even if it’s not nothing.” Derek stops us in the middle of the sidewalk and makes me look at him. I nod and he kisses my forehead before we start walking again, still hand in hand. A quiet solidarity for what’s about to unfold. I feel like, at this point, we both know how this is turning out, but I hope like hell that I’m wrong. My brain fills with fog and I walk along with him in a daze. I decide that all the what ifs don’t matter until things are for sure, so I push it all out of my mind. I might be pregnant, and it is definitely Derek’s. I can handle anything no matter what comes my way. I was raised with that thinking, as was Eliza. No matter what life throws at us, we can handle it. If it’s possible to ramble in your inner monologue, I do it, for the entire block to the drug store. Inside I purchase a set of two tests to be safe and the woman gives us a smile that is either pitying or happy, I can’t tell. Derek keeps his hand in mine until we are standing back in front of my apartment door. When he lets me go, I feel a little hollow. I grasp the drug store bag in both hands. 

“Do you want me to go with you?” He doesn’t meet my eyes. 

“To pee?” I ask, cracking a smile. Maybe it’s not a good time to laugh, but I do. 

“I mean inside. I’m not going with you to pee.” Derek finally smiles too.

“Actually, I think I need a minute alone,” I admit. 

“I’ll wait in the living room,” he agrees.

“Okay.” 

“Okay.” He wraps his arms around me, crushing me to his chest, and kisses the top of my head. “You do what you need to do and yell when you need me.” Derek nods matter-of-factly and kisses me. “I… you know how much I care about you, right?” 

“Me too.” I know our conversation makes no sense, but it’s what we have right now.

Excerpt:

Jax swaggered over just as the coffee pot beeped. He reached around me, leaning in close to take the pot, and pouring two cups before putting it back. “You always drink that much? I thought you were a health freak.” He dumped way too much sugar in the coffee.

        “It’s all about balance.” I shrugged putting a teaspoon of sugar in mine. “I’ll go to the gym tomorrow, and it will all balance out.” I sipped my coffee, watching him lean against the counter like he belonged in my kitchen. “Do you go?”

        “To the gym? Yeah, that one across town, Frankie’s.” He stared at the coffee, then me. “I’ve slept with too many women at World Fitness to go back. It got weird.” I nearly spit my coffee.

        “How many?” I looked into his gray eyes. Maybe it was the daiquiris, but Jax was sexy. In his button down, all the tattoos were covered, but I knew they were there. His arms had these skulls and stuff on them, but he never looked like a thug. He looked like a badass. Only Jax could pull it off. When he didn’t answer, I walked past him to the living room, and he followed.

        “Maybe eight?” Jax sat at the other end of the couch, slouching back in a classic manspread. I curled my legs under me, trying not to give him a clear shot up my skirt. At least my buzz left me a little dignity.

        “Maybe eight? You don’t know?” I teased, sipping my coffee.

        “No,” Jax said it like he couldn’t give me a number if he tried.

Review:

I'm trying to decide how I feel about this book, because I love Allie York. From the very start for
me Blair's job and her personal life don't seem to mesh. If you are a successful business owner
why would you be trying to date guys that work at smoothie bars?

This was a sexy-ish story. Blair and Jax are kind of f-buddies, until they aren't. There's extreme
attraction between the two, but they both are players. They want casual contact and not
commitment. So yeah...there's a lot of sexy business going on and a lot of talk about sex.

The to of them get together by accident; a broke down automobile leads Jax to take Blair home.

Sparks fly...and they keep on flying.

I liked that theses two players fell for each other. I liked that it was ok that both Jax and Blair
could enjoy sex and it be ok. There's a discussion about being a slut or a whore that was funny
and spot on.

The one thing though that bugged me, besides Blair who seems to date anyone with a penis, is
that other than sex, and, Ranger, the dog next door, her and Jax have no real reason to fall in
love.

I realize this is a novella, but I do like a bit of real life in my books. If you are going to be in love,
there has to be something that gets you there, and good sex just isn't reason enough.

The friends w/benefits aspect of the story worked, but the HEA didn't work for me. Still it was an
enjoyable read.

Excerpt

Copyright @ 2019 Allie York

“When you signing up? Women love a chef.” My best friend Derek is the back manager of Amore and got me the interview as head chef. Tonight, he gets to be both managers since the front manager called in sick. Sick is code for his new girlfriend is visiting from upstate. Mike gets sick every third Saturday, almost religiously.

        Derek nudges me, and I remember that he asked a question, “Sign up?”

        “Match Me. It’s where I met Callie. I also met Claire on there,” Derek tips his head at our staff, “Clint is talking to some woman on there too. You need to get out there. Enjoy the finer things the big apple has to offer.” I only roll my eyes. I didn’t come to New York to date. I came to work in a new environment and get some better kitchen experience. One of the female servers watches Derek and I talk, trying to be discreet, but it’s no secret that she’s hot for Derek. Even my player best friend knows better than to mix business and pleasure. Although that may be his only rule when it comes to women. Sharing a bedroom wall with him proves that point.

        “I’m not signing up for a dating app.” I watch the crew start to ease toward the door, mentally preparing for our shift.

        “Look at it like a hookup app. None of these women want to get married, if they did, they wouldn’t waste time with this shit.” Derek waves his black phone in front of my face, “Since when are you against getting laid?”

        “You know I’m not against it, it’s just not my goal in life.” I shrug. Call me old fashioned but I can’t stand our culture sometimes. I’m a commitment guy, not around for hookups.

        “You could still make it a priority, or just an option.” Derek leans back against the wall, looking smug with his argument. He has a point. I make enough money to take a girl out and having someone to talk to besides Derek’s dog would be nice. When he’s home, he has a date over, so I have taken over all of Dozer’s care, but that doesn’t mean I want to be the guy who sits at home with the dog. Although, Dozer is a great listener.

        “Well…” I begin.

        “You are so easy,” Derek shakes his head and taps my phone in my pocket, “Match Me is the app. Put your profession on there as often as possible. Women love a chef. You cook, they reward you for it, I promise.” Derek bumps my shoulder and I start the app download.  

Only on Amazon + Read for FREE on Kindle Unlimited

Review: I've read the first two books in the 425 Madison series and enjoyed them. Just Swipe Right is the third book and I think so far, it is my very favorite. 

Eliza and Murphy are a great couple, and how they come together through a series of random meetings before the dating app matches them is great. They are fun and funny. I love that Murphy is a big guy but a "teddy bear," as I'm not terribly fond of alpha males.

One of the best parts of the book are Eliza's columns. Her advice is funny and often very spot on.

Oh and there are the dogs too. Eliza's Dudley and Murphy's bff's dog Dozer are wonderful.

The relationship builds so nicely as they have missteps with other dates and find themselves falling for each other.

Both are seeing other people though Murphy knows where his heart lies more than Eliza. She's the one in a triangle, even though you can tell early into her relationship #2 that Stuart may be a bit a of douche canoe.

The drama at the end...was great at getting her together properly, but the other drama that came right after that almost made me hurl my kindle at the wall, because I love Dudley so much...just saying.

This was a great quick read that was super fun.
