From Publishers Weekly
Ever wonder what might transpire if a nerdy entertainment attorney and one of Hollywood's hottest stars holed up incognito in a remote cabin in California's Bigfoot country? As this zippy, character-driven romance shows, just about anything can happen, particularly if the equation includes actress Zoe Tarleton and her lawyer, Flynn Granger. Eager to move away from her fluffy sex kitten roles, Zoe talks Flynn into coaching her on the finer points of becoming a nerd before she auditions for the role of a brainy chemist. Her request soon turns complicated when Flynn discovers the script they'll be working on is R-rated for its steamy sex scenes. Worse, someone (or something) has learned who they are and plans to do one or both of them in. Could the culprit be the star-struck teenager next door, Zoe's jealous high school chum, Flynn's girlfriend or Bigfoot? While it doesn't take much to figure out who's on the ugly end of the poisoned blueberry pie, gas leak and nest of killer bees, fans of Thompson's earlier Nerd romances (
The Nerd Who Loved Me;
Nerd in Shining Armor) will find this sexually charged, funny romp every bit as entertaining as those that came before.

From Booklist
Glamorous movie star Zoe Tarleton wants to be taken seriously as an actress, so she sets her sights on snagging the role of flat-chested science nerd Vera. She asks her nerdy lawyer, Flynn Granger, to secretly spend the weekend with her in a remote cabin near the old mining town of Long Shaft (innuendo intended) to teach her the intricacies of nerd-dom. Flynn has a lawyer girlfriend but finds spending time with his most famous client intoxicating. He also happens to be crazy about Big Foot, who seems to live in the area. The intense sexual attraction between Zoe and Flynn is interrupted by an attempted poisoning, an almost lethal swarm of bees, and a falling tree. Although there are humorous bits, the main focus here is simply sex, while an extremely happily-ever-after ending almost makes up for the obvious plot. Although the fourth of Thompson's Nerd books is not her best, fans of the funny series will be glad to see it.
