Curves & Capital #3

Dial T for Tech Nerd: a Billionaire BBW Romance

Rate this book
He blocked her kiss with his hand. She fled to Sweden. Now they're stuck in a lab together for ninety days.

AUDREY
I tried to kiss Logan Whitman. Chicago's hottest tech genius. The man I'd been fantasizing about for months.

He literally put his palm over my face like a human stop sign.

So I did what any rational woman would do. I ran away to Sweden for three months and pretended it never happened.

But now I'm back, and there's an FDA crisis only I can fix. Ninety days. One tiny lab. And the man who apparently finds me so repulsive he had to physically block my mouth from touching his.

I can survive this. I've survived worse.

Probably.


LOGAN
She thinks I rejected her. She has no idea I've never kissed anyone.

I'm thirty-four. I have two PhDs. I can hack any system in the world. But I panicked during what would have been my first kiss because my brain decided to blue-screen at the worst possible moment.

Now I have ninety days to save a billion-dollar deal, work beside the woman I've been in love with since I read her paper on neural signal degradation, and somehow explain that I'm not disgusted by her—I'm just a virgin who short-circuited.

She's been running from me for three months.

I'm done letting her go.

A steamy second-chance romance featuring a curvy engineer who's tired of being invisible, a tech billionaire who's brilliant at everything except being human, and the world's most humiliating misunderstanding. Perfect for fans of virgin heroes, forced proximity, and heroines who have to teach clueless geniuses exactly what they've been missing.

As with all Megan Wade books, this body positive billionaire romantic comedy comes with her Sugar High heat, low drama, guaranteed HEA.

The one over arching storyline is finished 200 pages in. So why is the book 400+ pages? Nothing else happens. A few one off things that conclude by the end of the chapters, which was about as exciting as watching paint dry. I was so bored I didn’t want to finish. If the book stopped around 250 I would have rated it 4 stars.

Logan started working with Audrey on her Neura tech project over a year ago and they've become close friends but Audrey wants more. She's been flirting with him, but Logan is just completely clueless until one night at the bar his best friend finally tells him. He chases her down to have a conversation, but when she tries to kiss him, he has a complete system meltdown and blocks her... with his hand. Totally humiliated, she takes a position in Sweden the next day. Logan's fluent in the language of computers, but human interactions competed elude him. Now Audrey is back and he's clueless to find a way to tell her the truth.
So the tech and medical jargon left me a bit lost, but I love nerd love, so I stuck with it. Logan was just so sweetly innocent and inexperienced, but once he finds love and acceptance with Audrey he finds his confidence in more ways than one. I love the way she supports him and doesn't humiliate him, accepting and loving all of his quirks. I'm excited to read about the rest of the characters in this friend group.

Cute romance

This was a cute story. I like that it can be read as a standalone novel since I haven't read the first two in the series. I was looking for something fun to read, and this fit the bill. There were parts that made me laugh out loud and kept a smile on my face. A great escape .

I finished this book in one day. ONE. 500 pages!!!

And I’ll grant you I was home sick with a bad cold so literally all I did was read the whole day but I still think it’s a testament to how good this book was.

Firstly, virgin MMC. Like, has never even been kissed. So I always appreciate when the script is flipped a bit. And I really like that there was focus on Audrey teaching him, guiding him through things and seeing Logan’s confidence rise as the book progressed.

I also liked everything about Audrey. Smart, capable, plus sized, understanding, strong. She was such a refreshing MMC. With a good set of friends.

And the comedy in this book was GOLD. Literal gold. The amount of times I found myself just busting out laughing was many.

This was a Instagram ad that popped up, but once again my Algorithm knows me better than I know myself.

This started with so much promise then slowly became so boring I just couldn’t finish it.

Logan is a 32 year old virgin he is very intelligent and went to college at 14 so kind of missed a lot of teenage growth then he was too old to say anything, too embarrassed or too awkward.

Audrey is also very intelligent and she is so keen on Logan that she tries to kiss him and he puts his hand in the way. She is mortified and decides to leave for Stockholm for 3 months. She wants to come back a different person as she thinks she is not enough for anyone.

Finally Logan spills his secrets and Audrey and him hit it off. Then the dull scientific project drags on for weeks!

Audrey realises that Logan is not letting her into his life. This is because he has awful parents Audrey insists on meeting them and they are awful however Logan stands up for her.

Then more of the project at 77% I just gave up.

Megan Wade did it again with Dual T for Tech Nerd. I am really loving this group of friends finding their happily ever afters. The dynamic of this friend group is great and has such great personalities in it. I think Jenna is my favorite and I can't wait for her book!

Audrey and Logan have been dancing around each other for months. However Logan does not pick up on the social clues or get the hints that Audrey sends out. After Audrey makes a move, and Logan rejects her, Audrey decides she is done and leaves for a few months. Can these two come back from a lack of communication and a misunderstanding and be what each other truly needs? Can they help heal each other and be each other's everything?

Best so far

We had so many awkward moments between these two and then a sad moment at the end of the last book.

Then with their own book we got to know the two characters more deeply; that thought they had to be so smart to be accepted but then found out that by being that smart doesn't mean you can make it in the social world.

These two fit together in a different way that others couples do because it's mostly their brains that fit together over anything else. But that's the beautiful thing about these two.

I do absolutely love how Megan Wade has written their story. They needed a different sort of storyline because of how unique they are and that's what we got.

I LOVED all of the scenes we got from these two. The build-up, the tension, the 'mal-functions'. We get a beautiful romantic scene to start with but then as we go along and we learn more about Logan we get more and more demanding and H.O.T. scenes and hot under the bed sheets.

I loved Michaela being back and reducing all the adults even as smart as they are to 8 year olds like her.
I liked that we got a more in-depth view into the boys side of the family friendship and we got to know a few more of the characters better especially Dominic and Logan's relationship.

You will all get a little hot under the covers when you see the way that Logan stands-up and takes charge; not just in the bedroom (I'm not going to elaborate).

We have a few more to go but God I can't wait to see more of Michaela.

Received as an ARC.

I really enjoyed this read actually. It was definitely giving Big Bang Theory but make it spicy. The dynamic between the friends was a cool combination that I havent really read before so I loved getting to know them! I've now found myself wanting to read the first book of this series and am already anticipating the next! Solid 3.5

Please don't judge me, the cover I read was way better. This looks like cheap 2000's porn, but I'm coping.
I'm coping.

I REALLY wanted to rate this book higher, but I just couldn't.
I really couldn't.

Point 1: A grown-ass woman has the emotional maturity of a nine-year-old with their own Mercedes-Benz

I'm no stranger to humiliation. I asked someone out, and he rejected me by email. It's normal (rejection, not his bitch-ass response to it).
Was I happy to see him the next day because I decided asking someone who I have to interact with ALL the time was a good idea?
No.
Did I handle it well?
Depends on your understanding of "well."
Did I freak out at him later?
No.
Boom.
Mic. Drop.
But of course, characters over 30 can't just be mature. That's too easy.
When Audrey tried to randomly kiss Logan, her autistic crush, he reacted in a panic, and stopped her.
Her response? Scream him out of her house and immediately fly to Sweden.
Because that's what healthy adults do.

Point 2: Why was every conversation either handcrafted to piss me off or just cringe me out?

Because this is chick-lit, of course, the FMC has to be best friends with all the other FMC's in the series.
You know, to tie it all together.
But they seriously had no boundaries: when your friend asks you to stop, you stop. No matter the context. If they mean it, you need to, friendship be damned. If you're a real friend, you'd do it anyway.
Audrey finally kissed Logan for the first time, but then had to go to a team meeting (for plot relevance), and her friends started teasing her. Normal shit, right?
That is, until you tell them to stop, and they won't. In a professional setting, they completely disregarded decorum and manners to try to gossip about Audrey making out with Logan in front of everyone.
Then they followed her to the bathroom and continued.
Despite her clearly shutting them down, saying they needed to re-focus.
It was brushed off as "friendly fun," but as someone who's been a victim of that, it's not something to wish for. It's a slow degradation of your boundaries and self-worth, till you just go along with whatever jokes your friends make, regardless of whether or not the topic or setting embarrasses/hurts you, just to keep the peace and "have fun."
Reading it honestly icked me out so bad, and I could barely get through the rest of the scene.
The cringey conversations, though...

This is funny:
description


That. Was not.

For example, because I'm too lazy to write the quotes:
Audrey meets Michaela, the niece of Caleb (MMC of the previous book), and Michaela, at 8 years old, is already more insufferable than my ex-boss, who thought partial hours were a choice and deodorant was optional.
Michaela match-made everyone, and introduced them like they were a re-cap lineup for readers (because we're obviously too stupid to remember characters who are *unfortunately* thrown in our faces every five seconds).
I seriously debated homicide there for a minute.

The humour was also really forced. Banter has basically become a requirement in chick-lit these days, but because most authors apparently have no social lives (*the bitter irony*), the banter feels forced a lot of the time.
And this time, it wasn't just forced. It had the power of the United States Air Force and a thousand McDonald's behind it.
Every other conversation was forced banter, and it lost its appeal fast.


*SUB NOTE*

The smut scenes sucked. They weren't unique and didn't match the characters.
What do you mean, Logan, THIS DUDE
description
Is a dom?
THE FUCK YOU MEAN B*TCH.
Every time they had sex, I was face-palming because of how utterly flat and out-of-character it was. I understand people act differently during sex, but I wasn't aware that our whole personalities are rewired!
How awful.






So, uh, anybody got a sign-up sheet for that shit?

ANYWAY.





Point 3: "Swedish Princess"

Don't worry, this point will be short.
*eh-hem*
To "Hakuna Matata"
🎵When I was a fake-boobed bitch🎵
🎵And stuffed tissues in my braaaa!🎵

When I was younger, my parents took me on a vacation to visit our family in the Middle East every summer: We stayed for around 2-3 months.
Did I ever come back home calling myself an Egyptian princess?
No.
Because that would be fucking stupid.
Case in point, Audrey.

Audrey, after fleeing to Sweden and re-designing her ENTIRE LIFE over a single rejected kiss, returned home with a bad hair job (went blonde), contact lenses, and a couple of new discount dresses.
You know, the average Sweet Sixteen.

Except she couldn't just accept she'd changed. Audrey, throughout the course of the book, kept calling herself "Swedish" now. A "Swedish ice-queen," "a blonde, Scandinavian beauty," blah blah blah. You straighten your hair every morning and wear a new perfume: amazing, welcome to the real world.
I don't GAF if you do or don't, but PEOPLE NEED TO STOP CULTURAL APPROPRIATION AND STEREOTYPES.
Not all Swedes are blonde, not all Scandinavian women are cold and sophisticated, and staying in a place for THREE FUCKING MONTHS does not make you a native.
This just really pissed me off. A lot of people claim to be from my home country to get diversity benefits and shit, but they've either never been, or went there for a month.
I met a white girl claiming she was from my country, using a terrible fake tan and kohl from Sephora.
I can't with that, and I think it's what caused the book to lose a star from me. If you spent some time in a country, good for you, see the world and all that shit bitch, I'm optimistic now.
But never.
Ever.
Claim you're from there.
I have access to the internet and a cell phone, I will find you.


BACK TO THE POINTS

I just didn't like this book. I really struggled finishing it, and I felt like it was too long for how little it really contained. If you want good romance, I'd suggest looking elsewhere; this book just wasn't for me.

*Cough cough*
If any of you guys happen to be ARC readers, I'm releasing my first romance book (female omegaverse) in a month, and I'm looking for reviewers!
And that, my friends, is the true bitter irony.

Aww, so happy for Logan and Audrey to get their own story! Megan Wade's Dial T for Tech Nerd is the third book in her fabulous Curves & Capital series, and as a self-professed nerd myself, this hit all the right notes. The brilliant nerdy billionaire in Logan completely botches his opportunity to kiss the woman he's secretly been in love with - and months later he is forced to work alongside Audrey to solve a biotech crisis . These two are perfect for one another and watching them navigate their feelings - and the baggage of their pasts - is entertaining and awkwardly swoony. Another well-written must-read from Ms Wade.

Tech

If you love chaotic banter, nerdy obsession, and a hero who is completely gone for his girl, Dial T for Tech-Nead delivers in the best way. Megan Wade gives us a tech genius MMC who is socially awkward in the streets but absolutely feral when it comes to protecting and loving his woman.
The chemistry? Instant and electric.
The tension? Delicious.
The humor? Unhinged in the best possible way.
What I loved most was how the “tech-nerd” vibe wasn’t just for show. He’s brilliant, strategic, and low-key possessive — but it comes from a place of devotion, not ego. And the FMC matches him perfectly. She’s not overwhelmed by his intensity; she leans into it, challenges him, and makes him even better.
Megan Wade’s signature fast-paced writing keeps everything flowing — steamy scenes balanced with laugh-out-loud moments and just enough emotional depth to make you feel invested. It’s fun, flirty, spicy, and surprisingly sweet underneath the heat.
If you’re into:
💻 Tech genius hero
🔥 Possessive but obsessed MMC
💬 Banter & witty dialogue
💖 Fast-burn chemistry
🌶️ High steam
This one is such a fun ride. Definitely a top pick if you’re craving a nerdy alpha who falls hard and fast.

Different type of MMC

Logan is a genius that feels like he doesn’t fit in and Audrey is a genius who shares his lab and has a crush on him. When she finally makes a move to kiss him and he physically blocks her with a hand to her face, she leaves the next day for Europe and a fellowship position. Three months later she returns as her dream project is in trouble and they are forced together again. Audrey and Logan finally talk and begin to work things out and Logan begins to realize he isn’t as broken as he thinks. This was a cute romance with likable characters who grow and find themselves. The interesting twist is that the MMC was the one who had most of the obstacles to overcome with the help of the FMC. Enjoyable read with interesting side characters.

This book was everything I hoped for, and so much more! I have been waiting and was so excited I had to drop everything to dive right in! Audrey and Logan are absolutely adorable, they are made for each other but are too awkward to figure it out! I loved watching them tiptoe around each other and navigate their feelings. Both hurt from the misunderstanding of the almost kiss, but are too quirky to figure it out. The perfect balance of humor, fumbling mishaps, and some sizzling hot moments. Love this story and was hoping for Dominic's next!

Should have been shorter

I was so hyped to read this since I’m a Techy. Audrey is relatable but this book was drawn out. It could have ended after the FDA decision. The 2 books before this one in the series were much better.

THIS BOOK IS BOOK 3 IN A SERIES. FOR A BETTER READING EXPERIENCE, I SUGGEST THAT YOU READ THE BOOKS IN ORDER.

Quote:
"You're never going to believe what happened. Logan, literally put his hand over my mouth to stop me from kissing him."

Summary:
FMC and MMC are working together. They have been crushing on each other but neither has made a move. They eventually go on a date which ends with the FMC feeling humiliated and rejected. The FMC leaves the country for three months.

Upon her return they must work together. This forced proximity leads to them exploring their relationship. Eventual HEA.

Review:
I am not sure how I got this book, but I am glad that I did. However, as I read it, it became obvious that I jumped into the middle of a series. I was able to enjoy the book but at times I could see I should have read the books in order.

The author's style of writing drew me in and made me want to see this couple get together. I loved both the FMC and MMC character development. Especially, the MMC the way he stands on business when it comes to the FMC...loved it. FMC realizes she is enough and doesn't need to change to be loved and accepted.

I loved it and now need to read the other books.

Triggers: parents who are the WORST

Oh Audrey. She goes to kiss Logan, and he legit puts his hand in front of her face. What seemed like rejection was really panic on Logan's part because he is a 34-year-old man who has never been kissed and is obviously a virgin. Humiliated, she accepts a fellowship in Sweden and bounces. She is gone for several months. When she comes back, she doesn't look or act the same. She's always felt like too much and not enough at the same time.

I was gutted for him because he is so bad at peopling. He built a chatbot that was supposed to mimic possible conversations with Audrey. He broke my heart when he tried to talk to her and the words were either stuck or wrong. She broke my heart b/c of how sad she was and how much the rejection killed what little confidence she had.

His parents are the absolute worst humans, and I loved seeing how his relationship with Audrey built up his self-esteem and courage. He started to see he was worthy of love and that he didn't have to be a punching bag for his asshole parents.

Logan and Audrey worked so well together, accepting each other as they were. Their friend group is great, and I LOVED David's kid. She is a trip. I wanted to meet her in real life.

Honestly, I really enjoyed this book. I got a little sweaty eyed over it. I can't wait for David's book!

Audrey and Logan have been doing that thing for months—you know, the obvious tension, the almost-moments, the “just kiss already” vibes. So when Audrey finally goes for it, Logan… blocks her?? The secondhand embarrassment is real. She promptly escapes the situation by taking a job stint in Sweden (honestly, fair).

Of course, when she comes back, they’re thrown together again on a big, groundbreaking project that they've been working on, and Audrey is determined to keep things strictly professional this time. Logan, meanwhile, is still as socially awkward as ever (in the most endearing way), thank goodness for his group of friends who help balance him out. The chemistry between him and Audrey is so good—lots of witty banter, awkward-but-cute moments, and a whole cast of side characters who make everything even more fun. It honestly gave me The Big Bang Theory Sheldon-and-Amy vibes mixed with an Ali Hazelwood romcom.

This one’s definitely longer than what I usually go for (35 chapters felt intimidating at first), but it reads really easily and flows well. I can see why some people might find it a bit lengthy, but I actually enjoyed getting to sit in this world a little longer—it gave the story more depth and made the romance feel more developed. Super sweet, very romantic, and when the sparks finally fly, it hits even harder.

I’m also new to this series, which I kind of regret now because it seems like Logan and Audrey had some setup in an earlier book that I would’ve loved to read first. That said, I’ve read some of the author’s other series and enjoyed those too—but this one really worked for me because nerdy romances? Always a yes.

The book blurb says this is a 'Billionaire BBW romance'. Who is the billionaire? Audrey isn't a 'BBW' character either.

Women who like STEM and a LOT of technical medical bioengineering paragraphs might like this one. This story is at least 250 pages too long. It's a good lesson on the very real issues facing us about 'neural programming' which is combining computers (think AI and algorithms) with the human brain. Computers cannot replicate human emotions.

Landon is a 33 yr old PhD who has never been kissed. He's a walking talking human computer, a chatbot who lacks emotional intelligence. He knows he is deficient but can't program himself to bridge his emotional gaps. Audrey is another brilliant bioengineer who has a crush on Landon; a computer with feelings. He rejects her without meaning to. She is angry, mortified and hurt. He doesn't know how to fix it without admitting his truth (he's a virgin).

Besides too much technical jargon, this has the usual elements of friends who create many awkward moments. They 'just happen' to run into one another at a bar. Girlfriends who think 'one drink' is what Audrey needs. Boring pages of 'the gang's all here' and 'how are the cheese curds' while it's so awkward between these two.

This is tedious reading. I'm not interested in Landon's 'awakening' or his 'technical groveling'.

Wonderful story.
I loved reading Logan & Audrey's story it was so sweet, sassy, funny, nerd talk, heartbreaking at times.
They were perfect for each other & all their friends would see that & Audrey had tried to let Logan see how she felt but he was oblivious to it & ended up pushing her away.
We got to see Logan pour his heart out to her as to why he behaved the way he did even though he thought she wouldn't want him whrn she found out. However him opening up leather in only made them admit how they'd both been feeling the same which leads to them having some seriously steamy adventures.
Getting to see them navigate their work to get full FDA approval.l & personal as a team together with .

I live seeing all the characters grow together as a family they have made & one seriously cute little girl called Michaela.

I cant wait read David's story which I can tell already it's going to be emotional.

A rather long read as Logan and Audrey race against time to reprogram some research for the FDA within a ninety day time frame or risk losing out entirely. Logan a thirty-four virgin missed out socialization in his teenage years really likes Audrey, but he had no idea how to tell her or show her. He only manages to make her extremely mad at him. Now they have to work closely together for the next three months to finish this project, and she will not even look at him. He was afraid to tell her the truth afraid she would laugh in his face and run away for sure. Audrey was nearly as bad as Logan, but she had had previous relationships. A story of complex characters that makes for a wonderful found family. Will Logan and Audrey get it figured out between them and meet the FDA deadline? Happy reading.

I always love a good STEM romance - and this one was super intellectual and the smart, nerdy MCs were a real turn-on. Layer that with neurodiversity, dysfunctional family + found family dynamics and you've got a textured story with a lot of interesting angles & plot twists. Did I mention it was steamy?

Audrey and Logan. Lab partners who are working on a life-revolutionizing solution for brain ailments. Super smart but with their own hangups and insecurities. It takes them a while, but once they find each other - it's a path to making each other better. I just love when they just FIT, and I have no notes for these 2.

This is a personal thing - I'm not a HUGE fan of the ensemble casts where everyone is all up in everyone else's business. It was endearing at points but there were definitely moments when i rolled my eyes, but that's a personal preference, so I wouldn't judge the rest of the book for it.

For all my STEM readers, definitely pick this one up.

Audrey and Logan's book is totally a nerds fall in love story. There's so much technical jargon that I'm sure of the scientists would be very happy. Logan's inexeperience was good to read. Typically, it's the woman that's inexperienced and naive about things. So it was good to see the reverse. Audrey was so sweet and patient with him. However, once he figured things out, he was off to the races. I enjoyed seeing them grow together and work out problems in the office and their personal relationship. The flow are the story was good. There were a few areas that I thought dragged on unneccesarily, but they didn't take away from the plot. The secondary characters were great as well. I love seeing their the friendship and bond continue to grow. I can't wait for the next book in the series. Michaela is my favorite character in the series by far. Overall, this was a good read.

Ok, so this is a 3 ⭐️ read. For me.

The thing is that it’s so cute and then feels like it’s ended. Then it’s cute and then feels like it’s ended. It then does this over and over.

The story is so low angst that there is never a real issue that lasts the duration of the book. It’s a series of small things that are quickly resolved, and the couple is happy.

This doesn’t work for me because my brain is left thinking “why am I still reading this” and “what’s even left to read about.”

It really makes me think of the Korean drama shorts on YouTube. You can watch one or twenty. They’ll still have the same couple. Be cute. Low angst. Nothing much ever happens. And everyone’s happy at the end.

I had to fight to finish this. And while reading this felt like an author I’d read before. Lo and behold I check my Goodreads history an I’ve previously DNF’ed this author.

My take away is that this author has cute couples. Tiny low angst problems. Problems quickly resolved. And then the cycle continues a bunch throughout the story.

So, now I know that if I pick up another book for this author I will love it and dread it in equal measure. David’s story with Principal Nora is next. I’m intrigued enough to give it a try, but I’m 98.09% percent that will be my last read for this author.

Oh these two , Logan may have a brain the size of the ocean but his personal skills are the size of an ant. Audrey is completely heart broken by his actions, more miscommunication between them is full of humour and trust me you will be shaking your head and shouting at them.
With the misunderstandings and the chemistry these two brain heads have you want to jump in and shake them.
Oh when the truth comes out lost time is certainly made up. Let’s say Logan is a very good pupil and learns very fast. Working together and romancing makes them a perfect couple.

Humour, angst, chemistry, heat, spice and romance. Perfect.

Logan met Audrey in book one in this series and everyone can see they are perfect for each other. He is a virgin and inexperienced and totally clueless about Audrey’s interest in him. When he freezes and blocks Audrey’s attempt to kiss him, she leaves humiliated for Sweden the next day. When Audrey returns, she finds herself working closely with Logan once again. Loved the interactions amongst their friends’ group, everyone providing support, teasing and being confidants when needed. It’s the quiet ones you have to watch out for and once Logan gains confidence in the bedroom, his spicy alpha side comes out. Loved his increasing confidence in standing up to his parents too. I skimmed over a lot of the tech dialogue as it became a bit boring but looking forward to David’s story next.

Great third installment in the ‘Curves & Capitol’ series. This one picks up where ‘Dial L for Lawyer’ finishes leaving tech nerd, Audrey leaving for Sweden when the man she has been crushing on, Logan, seems to reject her attempt to kiss him – humiliating her in the process. I loved this story of ‘crossed wires’ and misunderstandings as these two emotionally stunted techies circle each other warily whilst trying to solve issues on a complex it program. The narrative is e gaging and often amusing and iI really liked both the main characters, finding myself rooting for their HEA. A really good romantic read.

Excellent book. Almost a 5 star except for a bit of a pacing issue in the last 3rd of the book. I saw this book as occupying a similar genre to a lot of Ali Hazelwood books, but I liked these characters better than AH characters because these characters were so much more real! They weren't gods with a single fatal flaw or "silly girls" engaged in hero worship of a man who is not real in any way. They were just real in good and maladaptive ways. I appreciated the healthier dynamic. The spice was plentiful and beautifully written out in long scenes. Damn! That's talent. This book is a new star for me.

So much fun and quirkiness

Dial T for Tech Nerd is the third book in the Curves & Capital series by Megan Wade. This is a great addition to a fantastic series by one of my favorite authors, which I will admit is a long list. But Megan has a way of crafting a story and her characters that envelopes you into it and keeps you wrapped up nice and tight. The work place romance is about Audrey and Logan, two people who are both attracted to each other but have a hard time figuring out just how to get where you know they should be. Be warned that the nerd level is high, as is the quirkiness, funny banter and a lot of tension and chemistry.
