Darcie Ingram was Nolan Bradbury's secret high school crush, but back then he was a short, skinny nerd and Darcie ran with the popular crowd. He's no longer short or skinny, and billionaire Fagan Harcourt has tapped the talented astrophysicist to head up a ten-year-project to colonize Mars. Nolan's at the top of his game, yet when Darcie shows up for his Mars lecture at an LA Space Expo, he reverts to his old awkward self. A professional astrologer and intuitive, Darcie discovers that Nolan's a hot geek with serious sex appeal and his nervousness with her makes him even more adorable. She admired him in high school for daring to be himself, while she hid her metaphysical abilities for fear of being ridiculed. When she senses Nolan's in danger from a jealous colleague, she offers her intuitive skills to help him. Nolan's not into "woo-woo stuff," but unless he can accept views different from his own, he'll put himself at risk . . . and the woman he loves. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |

On a whole, I thought that this was one of the better entries. I like that, although Nolan has gotten more socially competent and confident with maturity (quite realistically, I feel), he is still very much a nerd, and Darcie has come to appreciate his nerdy ways. I like that Darcie has come to embrace her nerdiness within her own field. Generally, I like that neither of them needs to change for each other. There is a bit about Nolan learning to embrace intuition more, but I got the sense that he was always somebody who was good at observing people and that he just needed some encouragement to follow the healthy hunches based on those observations. Thompson has a few writing ticks that have always bothered me (she talks about people who had sex or engaged in some sexual activity other than intercourse as having had "a sexual experience" a lot, a term I can't imagine anybody ever actually thinking of to describe their own behavior). But all in all, this was a fun, fast read. ( )
