Loved this great collection of stories from all these amazing authors!

Book 1: Fall Quiet by Zoe York
Genre: Romance - Military, SEAL, kink
Stand Alone: Yes
Part of a Series: Book 9 of the SEALs Undone Series
POV: Leah and Quinn
Steam level: Pretty Toasty
5/5

Although I have several already, this is the first book I've read by Zoe York. Fall Quiet was a lot of fun with a perfect mix of steam and sweet. Although dealing a little with kink, it was light and didn't push a lot of boundaries (well maybe the characters' boundaries but that's part of the fun). I really liked Leah with her bossy and independent attitude and Quinn with his easy-going personality. The interplay between these two characters was fun and light-hearted. I would have liked to get to know both Leah and Quinn's background a little more but I understand that the book can only be so long. Overall a good book which makes me look forward to read more of Zoe York's books.

Book 2: To Score or Not to Score by Angela Quarles
Genre: Romance - Sports (Hurling), Military (SEAL)
Stand-alone: Yes (Mostly) To see how the team does in the playoffs you need to read the other books which are not out yet. Also has (what I'm assuming) is the set up for the next couple that will be featured in this series.
Part of a Series: Yes - Book 1 in the Hurling Series
POV: Pepper and Luke
Steam-Level: Sexy
4.5/5

This is the first book I've read by Angela Quarles and I really enjoyed it. It was quite fun and entertaining and I found myself smiling throughout. The chemistry and push pull between Luke and Pepper was intense and hot. At one point I found myself getting a little bored but then the author drew my right back in to the story. Angela Quarles is definitely an author whose work I want to explore more in the future. Overall I really enjoyed this story but was a bit disappointed in the fact that we have to wait to find out about what happens in the playoffs.

Book 3: The Adorkable Girl and the Geek (Gone Geek 5) by Sidney Bristol
Genre: Romance - Friends-to-Lovers, Contemporary, Comedy, Interracial, Kimk
Stand-alone: Yes
Part of a Series: Yes Book 5 of the Gone Geek Series
POV: Cara and Nate
Steam-Level: Warm but not too hot
4/5

This is the second book I've ready by Sidney Bristol and I really enjoyed it. The Adorkable Girl and the Geek was a perfect mix of fun, heat and emotion. The themes of being yourself, having the courage to put yourself "out there," being honest and open and taking responsibility for your actions run throughout. I love that the characters grew-personally, as friends, and as a couple. In the beginning Cara kind of annoyed me but by the end I was loving her. I'm a big fan of the friends-to-lovers genre and this book is a fun take on it.

Book 4: The Girl Next Door by C. Jordan
Genre: Romance - Next Door Neighbor, Comedy, SEAL
Stand-Alone: Yes
Part of a Series: Yes - Book 2 of the Forrester Brothers Series
POV: Derek and Katie
Steam-level: Sexy AF
5/5

This is the first book I've read by C. Jordan and definitely won't be the last! It was almost embarrassing how quickly I read The Girl Next Door, staying up well into the night without even realizing it. I absolutely loved both Katie and Derek. Katie's mouthy/sassy side had me laughing out loud. Derek was sexy, sweet, and just the right amount of alpha. This was a fast and fun read that I found funny, sweet and absolutely could not put down. I absolutely cannot wait to read more of C. Jordan's books. This is definitely my favorite book so far in this set.

Book 5: Bath Bomb by Clara Leigh (Forbidden Bad Boys)
I tried to get in to the book but I couldn't. I gave it three chapters (one for each character) and I had to push myself even finish those three. While I'm not big on menage books I'm not against them either. But they have to be done right. This book just read to me like a stereotypical porno:
Character 1 - Sexy guy who swings both ways and is totally infatuated with his new sexy male costar. Plans a weekend getaway to "practice" for their upcoming show. "Accidentally" books a cabin with only one bed.
Character 2: Sexy costar who's totally straight (and uses Character #3 for his personal spank bank) but thinks costar #1 is hot. What are these unwanted feeling/urges? Was the one bed thing planned?
Character 3: Super smart fantasy of Character 2 who "accidentally" stayed longer at the cabin than she was booked for. Oh and her secret fantasy is watching two guys go at it. But only if they're not really gay, only into each other. Oh and they have to let her join and play too.
No, just no. Other issues:

Secluded cabin has a car - must be some random car
Oh look a jacket - guess someone is going to be cold
Cabin comes with food - but if cabin comes with food, someone has to restock it. If said restocking person came, they obviously didn't clean the bathroom so yuck.

I had to push myself to get through the first three chapters of this book. It was awful! Skip this one.

Book 6: In the Spotlight by Ally Decker
Genre: Romance - Fake relationship
Stand-alone: Yes
Part of a Series: Prequel to the New York City Fixers Series
POV: Sylvia and Greg
Steam Level: Toasty Warm
4/5

In the Spotlight is the first book I've read by Ally Decker and it was a lot of fun. It was a quick read with fun banter that left me smiling throughout. I enjoyed the chemistry between Sylvia and Greg and would like to read more of the New York City Fixers series. I already added all of the books to my wishlist and look forward to reading more of Ally Decker's work!

Book 7: Play by Olivia Devon
Genre: Romance - Fantasy, SciFi, Comedy, Kink, Suspense
Stand-Alone: Yes
Part of a Series: Yes - Part of the Manhattan Lux Series
POV: Katie and Aaron
Steam-level: Scorching
5/5

Play is the an enticing mixture of comedy, suspense, and fantasy, set in both the real world and virtual reality. The steamy bits were VERY hot but they only made up a small portion of the story and had a purpose to them (so not sex for the sake of sex but sex for the sake of the story and character development). I love the themes of being able to choose who you are and what you look like but learning to love yourself. The theme of Wabi Sabi was the best and something that more people need to incorporate into their lives. This is the first book I've read by Olivia Devon but definitely will not be the last. Play kept me engrossed in the story. And the interplay between life and fantasy was a fun concept. I absolutely loved it!

I received the Some Like It Geek Anthology from NetGalley. This is my honest (and late) voluntary review.

Fall Quiet by Zoe York: These two are sexy together, I loved this whole story, Quinn and Leah are such great characters. Ms. York did a great job of setting up a novella in a way that even if you haven’t read other books in this series or by Ms. York because I loved the whole world and the other characters.

The Adorkable and the Geek by Sidney Bristol: Nate and Cara have loved each other since they were kids, but when they finally admit it as adults it takes a little bit of growing pains to make it work. Ms. Bristol brought a great addition to her Gone Geek series, it had me on the edge of my seat waiting for a happily ever after.

The Girl Next Door by C. Jordan: Next door neighbors who fall in love is a favorite trope and Derek and Katie are very adorable together. I enjoyed all the cosplay aspects and loved Derek’s family, I will definitely be checking out the Forrester series! The chemistry with these two is amazing, and there is a lot of heart between Kate and Derek and I highly recommend this novella.

In the Spotlight by Ally Decker: Sylvia meets Greg Abrams in an alley, and then they are off on this pretend relationship that feels so real. These two are great together, I liked them both. I really liked Greg’s character and the secondary characters and will be picking up the new series.

Play by Olivia Devon: This is an unconventional romance because the majority of it takes place in Virtual Reality and I loved that. I loved how much the author had to think things out and I definitely appreciated all of her thoughts and would love to read more books that feature HyperLyfe. I highly recommend the love story between Aaron and Katie.

Overall Some Like it Geek is amazing, it’s a great collection of authors and I definitely highly recommend it!

I really enjoyed the book, it has everything I love in a novel from start to finish. I can’t wait to read what the author has planned next!

Some Like it Geek is a collection of seven stories written by different authors. Some are okay, others not so much. Thanks to NetGalley and Seasons Publishing for the advance copy.

If you want a selection of erotica with the bare requirements for a storyline this collection is for you. It was not for me.

This is a compilation stories centered around the theme of geeks. As with most compiliations, there were some really good stories and some not so good stories. Either way, it’s worth reading as the good stories make up for the not so good stories. I’ve included reviews of several of the stories.
-Fall Quiet by Zoe York - 5 stars
Navy SEAL Quinn Perry gets a second chance to impress Army Sergeant Leah Sanders when he sees her on a Caribbean island.
I’ve read books by this author before and, while I’ve really liked them, this one, Whew! While it wasn’t really with the geek theme, I loved the kink theme!! Very few authors have the woman in charge and I absolutely loved it.
-To Score or Not to Score by Angela Quarles - 5 stars
Pepper has just moved back to her hometown and has been set up on a blind date by her best friend. What she doesn’t know is that the man that she thinks is her blind date is actually her old nemesis from high school, Luke.
This was my favorite story in the collection. It took awhile, but beyond the immense attraction, they each found they had a lot in common and were able to heal.
-The Adorkable Girl and the Geek by Sidney Bristol - 1 star
Nate and Cara have been best friends since high school and they’ve both been secretly in love with each other for years. This time when Cara comes to visits, things change.
I really didn’t like this book. Nate’s character wasn’t bad, but I didn’t like Cara at all. I’m not sure how she managed to survive life.
**I voluntarily read and reviewed this book

Do you love an intelligent hero? Do you like the awkward girl getting swept off her feet?
Do you like things kinky, sweaty, wild or virtual? Well, two, out of three ‘aint bad and I do love a good story, so let's give Some Like it Geek box anthology a whirl!
The running theme in this set is “geeky,” whatever that means to you. I consider being a geek an asset, as it suggests dedication and passion. Some of the stories found in Some Like it Geek suggests that it is a deficit or otherwise atypical - not exactly offensive, but not exactly complimentary. Nonetheless, the “geek” element is meager, unless you count awkward childhood backstories, a visit to a comic conference, or random Star Wars references. There is also another running theme, a plethora of male leads/former SEALs. As a former military member myself I was happy to see men and women in uniform get the spotlight. I am also a fan of the San Diego Comic-Con and have attended for many years. Thus, I am well-versed in the backstory of many of the characters. Unfortunately, I found most of them wanting. Inaccuracies became a glaring blight on the details (most egregious, The Girl Next Door) and I revel in the details. I had high hopes for a couple of the stories as I loved their meet-cutes, but they didn’t deliver. They are riddled with generic storylines, ho-hum characters, repetitive action, and questionable dialogue. For me, there is only one standout, Fall Quiet by Zoe York. While the character backstories don't always jive with reality, I appreciated York’s efforts to showcase men and women in the military. There are some inconsistencies with some of the set ups (i.e. shirts and sunglasses usually block one’s ability to see what’s underneath, and neither character had the gift of x-ray vision), but they don’t take away from the story. The character development is a little one sided. Quinn is a beautiful soul, who is both sexy and sensitive, while Leah, comes across as a bit of a pit bull, with a chip on her shoulder. She is a strong woman at a career crossroads who confuses strength with shrewishness. I enjoyed the intermingling as she ultimately ends with more even-keeled demeanor, but would have loved a more in-depth exploration of single women in male-dominated careers, who if not looking for romance, still enjoy a healthy sex life. The insta-feelings (his) are not as fully fleshed out as I would have expected and as they are an integral part of a plot turn, I would have loved a closer look. However, Fall Quiet’s strong suit is the sexy times and those are plentiful and plenty hot and is well worth the price of admission.

Zoe York's book is fantastic. It is a great read. There were some books that were a DNF. There were only 3 stories out of this box set that are worth reading.

These are great stories by some of the best authors out there A read anyone would enjoy!

A couple great stories, a couple that weren't my cup of tea. Overall a great anthology! Love geeky stories!

Great anthology...still working my way through them all but love the ones I've read so far. Who doesn't lov a sexy geek?!

I have to say I read all seven stories in this box set. Was not disappointed with anyone of them. A variety to read and if a story line isn't what you usually read you can still read the rest and enjoy them. My worse complaint but it is my personal opinion is when an author is describing a sex scene, and there were plenty in these, is when they use the word come for cum. Really how hard is it to spell correctly.
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book through NetGalley.

A quirky mix of stories in this anthology.

Fall Quiet by Zoe York
Hot Navy Seal meets his match in the kinky Army girl.

To Score or Not to Score by Angela Quarles
Blind date gone wrong or totally right? You decide and there's lots of fun games afoot as well.

The Adorkable Girl and the Geek (Gone Geek 5) by Sidney Bristol
Awww, Nate and Cara, two adorably geeky clueless people. Sometime you just want to scream at the characters, TALK TO EACH OTHER. Yes it's one of those books where a little communication goes a long way.

The Girl Next Door by C. Jordan
Hello Sci Fi and Hot bodyguard, sign me up! Fun, steamy read.

Bath Bomb by Clara Leigh (Forbidden Bad Boys)
I'll be honest Has no clue what a towel model was and frankly still don't. But this twisted little story was loads of fun to read. M/M action, so read at your own risk.

In the Spotlight by Ally Decker
Movie Star + everyday girl thrown into scandal, what could possibly go right? This story was actually pleasantly surprising and a nice nod to Broadway.

Play by Olivia Devon
By far my favorite storyline of the entire anthology. If you only read this one is worth it. Loads of truly geeky stuff with all the virtual reality and nice character development.

This is a great collection of stories. This review is for Fall Quiet by Zoe York. This is a hot, steamy read and I loved Quinn and Leah. It was great to see Leah be the dominant one mostly in charge and Quinn, the big bad Navy SEAL, willing to do anything to please her. Their two chance encounters lead to so much more than either of them expected and I loved that.

I have only read the first two stories in this book. I was interested because of the geek aspect. Honestly, I didn’t feel geek much when I read these two.

Fall Quiet - Zoe York
I didn’t feel geek at all. There is some mild kink but mostly talk over actions. Both characters are military.

To Score Or Not To Score - Angela Quarles
He might have been a science fair geek in high school but now he’s a hot ex-seal, working private security and a jock. She’s a doctor.

I liked them both. The sex is very descriptive and intense. Ménage with MM action is not something I’m interested in, so I will skip this book. I look forward to the rest.

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC provided by NetGalley.

This set of stories has everything your geeky little romantic heart desires (or is that just my geek showing) VR, Comics, Comic Con, Star Wars etc..... Loved it! Love my Military as well and lucky me just about every story has a sexy Navy SEAL Awesomeness. Overall this set was extremely entertaining, laugh out loud fun, emotionally driven romantic geeky adventures that I for one loved reading.

Fall Quiet by Zoe York
Extremely hot second chance romance… They spark several months earlier and by some act of fate run into each other again and the attraction is so much stronger.

To Score or Not to Score by Angela Quarles
High School friends reconnect and find they have a strong connection and a blossoming romance begins. Was a very fun and sweet romance.

The Adorkable Girl and the Geek by Sidney Bristol
How do you tell your best friend you want so much more than just a strong friendship? Love a friends to so much more romance. Very entertaining.

The Girl Next Door by C. Jordan
Sexy Hot Romance with a lot of fun elements and an entertaining short read.

Bath Bomb by Clara Leigh
Exciting and very sexy hot romantic trio. Loved the building of the charters and anticipation.

In the Spotlight by Ally Decker
Sylvia and Greg are so adorable, sexy and relatable. Loved the Broadway elements in this fast passed but no less entertaining story.

Play by Olivia Devon
Hot Sexy Geek Romance and the VR Gaming Loved it! So Real and So Fun.

I love getting a box set that includes at least one of my favorite authors because not only do I get to enjoy a story written by them but I also get introduced to other authors and usually find new ones to enjoy and this was the case with Some Like it Geek.

Fall Quiet by Zoe York
I have to admit that Zoe York is one of my favorite authors and she's the reason I got this set. I loved Fall Quiet! Quinn is a SEAL and Leah is in the military. They have a quick run-in at a bar and sparks are flying but Leah blows him off only to have to run into him again the next morning on the range. Things are still brewing between them but still nothing happens. Fast forward 2 months and they run into each other again on a Caribbean island. She's taking a vacation having just left the military and he's attending a friends wedding. Leah is into kink and she likes to dominate but seeing Quinn, she figures he's not the type to submit. Lucky for Leah, Quinn likes sex no matter how and is willing to submit. The scenes between the are super hot! Another hit by Zoe!

To Score or Not to Score by Angela Quarles
Pepper and Luke did not get along at all in high school. Luke lusted after Pepper but Pepper hated him for ruining her chance at winning the science fair. Fast forward 15 years and Pepper is on a blind date to meet a guy named Rick but she has no idea what he looks like. By pure chance, Luke is at the coffee shop and sees Pepper walk in. She mistakes Luke for Rick (he's changed a LOT since high school). He recognizes her immediately and sparks fly. One thing leads to another and this is another great story. She's now a doctor and trying to prove herself to her new practice and he's part of a competitive sports team trying to get sponsored. I really enjoyed this author's writing and will definitely be reading more from her.

The Adorkable Girl and the Geek, Gone Geek 5 by Sidney Bristol
This was ok. These were high school friends and Nate had moved to California and was being successful whereas Cara was suffering some setbacks and stuck at home. It was a little weird that these two were such close friends and talked every day but Nate didn't know about a lot of the trouble that Cara was experiencing. It was fun to watch them see each other again and admit their feelings for each other. I enjoyed watching them work things out.

The Girl Next Door by C. Jordan
I really enjoyed this one! Derek is a hot ex-SEAL living next to a quiet, shy Katie. Katie makes jewelry and sells the jewelry at comic con. Derek's best friend has asked him to dress up and be extra security at Comic Con. When he arrives, he sees Katie all dressed up. It turns out she's not so shy when she's in a costume. These two were seriously hot together. Another great read for me! Looking forward to reading more by C. Jordan.

Bath Bomb by Clara Leigh
I was so excited to read a threesome! This author wrote at the beginning that this book uses British punctuation and grammar rules. I don't know if that was my issue of something else but I really struggled with the first chapter. I couldn't quite get into it and very sadly, I skipped over this book.

I haven't had an opportunity to read In the Spotlight or Play yet however, from what I've read, I highly recommend this set of books!

This is an awesome romance collection revolving around geeks!
I've had the privilege of reading Fall Quiet by Zoe York. This story is about Navy SEAL Quinn Parry and Army sergeant Leah Saunders. Quinn is trying his best to impress Leah, but that doesn't work for her. She is all about taking the lead, in and out of the bedroom. Quinn knows that sometimes to get the girl you have to give her what she wants because in the end they both win.
I'm definitely looking forward to reading more of the stories in this great collection!

Hey, now. I was not sure what to expect from this anthology of "geek romance", but I was happily impressed! I read *a lot* of collections, and have generally found that there are hits and misses in every one... this one is universally good. I enjoyed all of the stories, and they were all different in character and tone. There's even a little switching, which is great to see... go feminism, even alpha males can submit sometimes ;)
If you are a nerd or a geek who reads romance, this is a good fit for you! The H/h pairings are great, the sex is hot, and there's a lot of intelligence and playfulness to go around. Very reasonable initial price for collection; would expect to pay more for any one of the stories included. I purchased the ebook from Amazon after reviewing.
I particularly liked "Fall Quiet" and "Play".
