This Week's Spotlight

Lost in Geeklandia by E.J. Russell 

Releases September 28th

Synopsis

Introverted computer engineer Charlie Forrester has coded an algorithm for love, a nearly flawless matchmaking program. But then she's challenged to prove its accuracy - on herself. With her dream job on the line, Charlie has thirty days to forge a romantic relationship with her "perfect" match...her ex-friend and now-nemesis, Daniel Shawn. Since her dating experience is expressed in binary, she'll need more than flirting lessons and a wardrobe overhaul to pull it off.

After falling victim to the same online matchmaking con he was investigating, reporter Daniel Shawn's professional reputation went up in flames. Now he suspects someone has rebooted the scam, and he's determined to expose the fraud and rebuild his career. Unfortunately, his efforts to get back in the game get sidetracked by Charlie and her adorable geekitude, even though she seems to know a little too much about digital dating for Daniel's comfort.

And when fake romance crosses into real chemistry, Charlie's formula for love might just be the perfect formula for disaster... 

I ran across this little gem on Netgalley and the synopsis drew me in - I am sucker for books where either the hero or heronie is a computer geek.  Based on the first couple lines and what I read so far - my hope is Charlie grows throughout the story.  Right now, she seems to be meek and shy and not sure it that will bode well for the story.  I will keep everyone posted on what happens with Charlie.
