Summary: Nerds need love too
Review: This book was a happy fantasy that also had intrigue and suspense. I could not put the book down. I think that there were several enjoyable aspects. I liked that the family was connected through ESP. I was pleased to see that Jackson was not put down for his unusual ways and his forgetfulness. I think it was the best book of the summer. Thanks, Kelly Ripa for finding it for us!!

Summary: Found Love in Paradise!
Review: Well, I first bought this book absolutely because of KELLY RIPA! I read a few of her other books that have been in the book club and she has not let me down so far!
But once I got home, I found that I was able to sit down and read this book in 4 days! I just could NOT put it down! I wanted to know what was going to happen next. I also liked how Vicki Lewis Thompson would go from one story in the book to the other and of course, always to leave you wanting to know what was going to happen with the previous!
Absolutely a fun book for the summer! Especially after a trip to Maui,Hawaii this summer. Fortunately for me, mine was paradise!
Just a point to make- as to those who said this book was tiresome or had no morals..just think of how tired you would be if you were Gen or Jack. Sometimes I think we get too judgemental about a FICTIONAL story/ characters in the book.
Also, Gen learned NOT to be embarrassed of where she came from (she was the one from Tennessee, not Jack). She found that her past had helped her survive on the deserted island.
I don't think ... would survive a few hours after crash landing a plane, let alone almost a full day.

Summary: Boring
Review: What a waste of a day reading this. Made the people of Tenn look like "nerds". I like a good love story but this was just trash. Don't waste your time. No plot was so easy to see thru this just skimmed that last chapters.

Summary: No morals, no brain
Review: I love Vicki Lewis Thompson--have read most of her books and find her funny and her characters believable.But not in this book. I couldn't stand the heroine. As much as I tried to, I can't like a young woman who is out for sex with any man who shows up. She lost her virginity when she was 15 to a kid who promised he'd take her to the movie. She plans to have sex with her boss who she knows takes a different secretary to his weekend meeting to have sex with her--the idea that she plans to marry him doesn't excuse her. It makes her sound even dumber. Then she has the hots for the nerd in no time. I also disliked her showing people from Tennessee as ignorant idiots who talk funny and have several illigitimate children because the women can't say "no". Try something else by VLT--her other books are great.

Summary: Lots of fun
Review: Vicki Lewis Thompson's Nerd in Shining Armor is sheer, unadulterated fun. Light and lighthearted, the novel is the perfect beach read. It's a great romance with a compelling plot that will keep you reading. No new ground is broker here, but, so what? The novel is still a lot of fun. The novel concerns Genevieve Terrence, a young secretary with a huge crush on her boss, Nick. Nick takes her and Jack Farley, one of the computer nerds at work, on an overnight business trip. The trip winds up being not all it should be and Jack and Gen wind up stranded on a remote desert island, and...well, what do you think happens? Gen and Jack's story is entertaining, as is the subplot of those looking for them. If you are looking for a fun read that you shouldn't have to take too seriously, here it is. Have fun.

Summary: Tiresome and smarmy
Review: I bought this book thinking it would be a fun read. It wasn't. It was tiresome ... to the point I just skimmed the last half. It was also smarmy as opposed to sexy. Don't get me wrong, I like a good romance novel. But this wasn't romantic. It was juvenile, almost painfully so, and the characters were complete idiots. Worse yet was the author's condescending attitude toward people from the state of Tennessee (for the record, I'm not from Tennessee but do have friends who live there). All I can say in closing is: Yuck!

Summary: Cute but kind of dumbed-down feeling...
Review: I admit, I probably would not have read this book if not for the Kelly Ripa bookclub. From the back (and front) cover, the storyline wasn't something I usually go for - stuck up heroine, nerdy beta hero, not to mention stranded on a deserted island. The first few chapters didn't seem all that promising, but things did pick up once Jackson and Gen got situated on the island. I never did warm up to Gen's character, but Jack made up for her tiresome personality. All in all, it was a good read - sort of reminded me of the movie 6 DAYS AND 7 NIGHTS. I could have used less of the dumbed-down hillbilly schtick and more emotion and romance.

Summary: Great Summer Read
Review: I would have not picked this book for myself but it was a book club read and I was very happy I got to read it. It was a cute and fast read. It was not a totally cheesy romance novel, it kept me turning the pages to see what was next with Gen and Jack. Who wouldn't want to be stranded on an Island with a nerd turned hot guy!!
