ARC received for an honest review

Be warned - though this book is about an erotica write, it does not contain any erotica (and you all know how I love my smut!)

That being said, I completely adored Neurotica! It is good to once in a while "cleanse the mind" of all the dirty things that I read (and watch!!) and get an honest to goodness sweet geeky romance.

Jayne's neuroses really do seem to take on a life of their own, and taint Jayne's view of the world a bit. I do love her quirky way of looking at the world though!

It makes me wonder though, that someone who has so many hangups about sex - heck, can't even say the words sex and penis without getting embarrassed - can write such smutty erotica? You would think she would need at least a bit of experience, but maybe this is just me.

I love her geeky, Star Wars loving, duck obsessed side hard.

Luke "Piewalker" Walker is her friend that she can share her geeky side with. And she is secretly crushing on

Holden is the new guy at the newspaper who likes her, pursues her.

And this is where things for me just didn't feel right. Luke has always given off the brotherly kind of vibe to me, not the potential lover. Why all of a sudden is he the one to get her over her issues when he has been there for years? And only for him too? Any other man looks at her and it was all gross?

I just didn't feel the lusty, heady feelings between them, no matter how much I wanted to.

Holden felt more like the potential one to make that breakthrough -but this might have just been me.

I loved Jayne's best friend Gretchen. I thought it was fantastic the way she pushed Jayne to work on her issues and to move forward.

Neurotica is a sweet, albeit a tad predictable story. If you are a hopeless romantic or love your geek-romance, this should definitely be one to read.

I flip flopped between 3.5 and 4 stars on this one, so 3.75 it is!
