For once, she decides to free her inner fangirl and indulge in a night of kinky cosplay.Afterward, Polly can’t stop thinking about the mystery man she knows only as the Detective. He offers her unlimited hook-ups and Polly decides to try a few costumes of her own. Maybe then she can get to know the man behind the disguise…and discover that having a little—or a lot of—nerd inside her isn’t such a bad thing after all.Reader This story contains hot nerds engaged in public displays of naughty affection.

So I read this in part because I kinda know the author and consider the author a friend, and so I wanted to support that person. I have little to no real relationship or experience with erotica, as it were, so this was more or less foreign territory for me.

I can't say a thing about how good or bad the action is on this. I do know that the story balances the line between serious and silly really well, and I enjoyed reading this (I nearly said "enjoyed myself," and that's too much information even if it isn't true, right?). If you're into this sort of thing, hey, it's worth the $5 it's selling for, certainly. And if you're looking for a little something more, well, there's plenty of that to go around too.

Super cute book. Anyone who has ever had a crush on a fictional hero will like this. It's funny, pokes fingers at some of the realities of being a twenty-something these days and ends with warm, squishy hope. Where do I get a Fabian? Can I order one? Because I'd like one, please.
