Her
Perfect Game
Hot
& Nerdy # 2
By: Shannyn Schroeder
Out Now!!!
Spring
break is supposed to be a week of fun in the sun for three childhood friends
about to graduate from college. But one of them is ready to get her game on
somewhere else…
Charlie
Castle is an expert archer and a fierce warrior—in her favorite video game,
anyway. But college life was a program she couldn’t quite master. To land a
cybertech job without a degree, she’s entering a “hackfest” over spring
break—where she also hopes to meet the sweet gamer who’s been flirting with her
online. Instead, she runs into the hot guy who walked away years ago, and can’t
fight the desire that comes rushing back.
Jonah
Best has never gotten over Charlie, whose kisses were always as deliciously
creative as her coding. But now that they’re face to face again, he doesn’t
know how to admit that her online admirer is really him—or how to convince her
that he’s offering her a job for her incredible skills, not her sex appeal. Can
Jonah cut through their communication glitches and persuade Charlie that the
next level up for them should be forever?

My Review

| 3.5 Geeky Love Stars |
Her Perfect Game
is book #2 in the Hot & Needy Series by Shannyn Schroeder. I read and
enjoyed the first book Her Best Shot here’s a link to my
review. I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review so
here goes....
Again like the
first book in the series this is only a short novel probably closer to novella
length.
Although it’s a
quick read I do feel like I actually got to know the characters and I started
to invest in their relationship.
I like Charlie she’s
kind of badass which is fab considering that both her and Jonah are big ole
geeks.
I’m going to be
honest and say that this book had me picturing the big bang theory with all of
the comicon and Joss Whedon references, for me that’s fab its one of my
favourite shows lol.
I do have a
massive criticism though and it’s that Jonah and Charlie have a history but
there just wasn’t enough of a back story. I don’t feel like I really understood
why they never worked in the first place. This story posed a lot of questions
but didn’t actually answer most of them.
They are a cute
couple and I wanted them to be together and happy but a bit more passion would
have gone a long way.
I’m not at all
sure what to make of Jonah he was sweet but he is like Lenard from big bang he’s
super sweet but just not overtly sexy.
Don’t get me
wrong I enjoyed this book it’s cute and I’m glad they get a HEA but it just wasn’t
my favourite 3.5 stars.

Excerpt
It
took a second for Charlie to realize that she was being called a cheater. She
stood. “What?” She looked up at the board. She and Override were still in
second place, now only by five points, but Jane and her partner were fifty
points behind.
“She
had an unfair advantage. I wasn’t sure, but I suspected. It’s just not
possible.”
Charlie
glared at her. “I am not cheating. How could I?”
A
nasty smirk stole across Jane’s face. “Someone fed you the answers.”
Charlie’s
heart sank. She knew exactly where this was going. “No one gave me anything.”
“Should
we ask your boyfriend over there?” She pointed at Jonah sitting by the door.
“First
of all, he’s not my boyfriend. Second, he didn’t give me shit. I’ve worked
through each task just like everyone else.”
Jane
crossed her arms and waited. Carl looked back and forth between Jonah and Jane.
Jonah
slid from the stool. “I didn’t give her anything. I didn’t create the
challenge. Carl did.”
Of
course, Jonah wouldn’t lie about their relationship.
Carl
crossed the room to talk to Jonah. The harsh whispers carried across the room.
Carl was asking about having a personal relationship with a competitor. Jonah
nodded. She was screwed.
Her
stomach sank. There was no coming back from this. “Fuck this.” She slammed her
laptop shut and looked at Override. “Sorry if you get screwed here too. I did
not cheat, but I refuse to get thrown out for doing nothing wrong.”
She
slid her computer into her bag and rushed out the door.
“Wait,”
Jonah called.
She
didn’t, but then he caught her by the arm. “What are you doing?”
Charlie
yanked her arm from his grasp. “I’m not going to sit there and be accused of
cheating because I slept with you.”
“Carl
wasn’t going to throw you out. He knows I didn’t have access to anything he
created.”
“Doesn’t
matter. If I win, everyone in that room will question whether it was
legitimate. Thanks for fucking this up for me.” She turned away, tears clawing
at her throat.
“Whoa.
What do you mean me? I didn’t do a damn thing.”
“That’s
right, you didn’t. All you had to do was deny we had any kind of relationship.”
“Why
the hell would I do that? I know you didn’t cheat, and lying wasn’t going to
change that accusation.”
“Whatever.”
She took a couple more steps before he moved in front of her.
“What’s
the big deal? It’s a stupid small-time hackfest.”
“Not
for me it wasn’t. I needed this win.”
“Charlie,
you have to know that you didn’t really have a chance against Poison.”
Tears
welled and burned her eyelids. “Thanks for the vote of confidence. I guess
we’ll never know now.”
She
tried to push past him, but he laid a hand on her shoulder. “Why are you so
upset?”
Charlie
swallowed hard. “I needed this win. This was my chance. The prize is Def Con. I
can’t afford to get to Vegas and pay for a hotel and shit. And I need Def Con
to network and find a job.”
“No,
you don’t, Charlie. You’re good enough that all you have to do is send out your
résumé after graduation. You won’t need to network. The jobs will be there.”
She
swiped at her face, hating every tear that fell. “No, they won’t because there
won’t be a graduation. I dropped out.”
He
looked stunned, his mouth hanging open, and Charlie skirted around him. She
couldn’t look at his face knowing in a moment it would be filled with
disappointment. She raced to her room, packed her stuff, and checked out to go
back to her regular life.
