Who Would Like This Book:
If you can't resist a good fake relationship romance, quirky characters, or the magic of a nerdy heroine paired with a golden-retriever hero, this book will sweep you off your feet. Beck is pure cinnamon-roll goodness - he’s goofy, sweet, fiercely loyal, and refreshingly non-toxic. Sarah is adorably awkward, brainy, and believable. Their banter is hilarious, the antics are outrageous (there’s a pig in a tutu and a giraffe in labor!), and the themes of acceptance and seeing the real person behind the façade are heartwarming. Fans of laugh-out-loud romantic comedies and anyone who loves a hero who falls hard will eat this up. Perfect for those who want romance minus the angst and drama.
Who May Not Like This Book:
Not everyone found this the funniest in Pippa Grant's collection - if you’re seeking constant, over-the-top hijinks, it’s a bit sweeter and slower to get started than her typical slapstick style. The hero’s over-the-top goofiness and lack of alpha edge may not appeal to lovers of dark, brooding, or ultra-dramatic romances. And if you prefer stories with lots of tension inside the relationship, know that most major conflict here is external. Some readers didn’t vibe with the celebrity/viral social media setup or were looking for more steam and less sweetness.

From The Publisher:
Remember that time you accidentally sexted your boss?
Yeah. I just basically did the equivalent. Except worse. Now my millions of social media followers are reading and sharing the rude, smartass message I meant to send privately to my little sister as a joke...and I'm officially public enemy number one.
I'm Beck Ryder. Former boy bander. Underwear model. Fashion mogul. And I buried my entire leg in my mouth-not just my foot-modern internet style, and publicly insulted my sister's neighbor.
Sarah Dempsey.
Also known as the woman of my dreams, who loves geeky TV shows, baseball, and giraffes, who's just as turned on by food as I am, and who has a huge secret that I didn't see coming.
Now it's time to grovel and apologize publicly on social media and hope that those same followers who helped start the raging shitstorm will help calm the waters.
Because Sarah doesn't want the spotlight. For very good reasons that I can't tell you right now and trying to convince her to be my fake girlfriend to fix this mess and make me look like less of a jackass is worse than taking a kick to the nuts by Jackie Chan.
And I thought modeling underwear made me feel naked.
Trying to start a relationship in the era of the Twitterazzi isn't all that it's cracked up to be.
America's Geekheart is a rockin' fun romantic comedy featuring a billionaire fashion mogul who got his start modeling underwear, the geeky girl next door with a secret the size of California, and more superstitions and secrets than you can shake a baseball bat at. It stands alone with no cheating or cliffhangers.
