Medium, Sweet, Extra Shot of Geek by R. Cooper

Out, proud, and nerdy Tommy flirts with Tavio using Trekkie lingo. Tommy also is a father—is Tavio ready to romance a family man?



Former soldier Octavio “Tavio” Reyes works as a barista, a favorite with the customers—especially Tommy O’Shaughnessy. An avowed geek, Tommy comes in daily to flirt, usually under the guise of Trekkie talk. Tavio hesitates; now that he's out of the army, he’s not sure how out he should be, or whether to take his chances on a geek devoted to sci-fi and comic books. But when Tommy compares him to an unemotional Vulcan, Tavio finally considers dating an out-and-proud nerd. Then Tommy surprises him again and introduces him to his daughter, whom Tommy loves even more than Star Trek or Tavio. Now Tavio has a whole new decision to make: Is he ready to romance a family man?

I so need this book!

This looks so good I think i need it too!

Will definitely check this out, but 66 pages is way too short for a story such as this.

The story, in 66 pages, really said all it needed to say, I think. Except for the fade to black, it was very good.


ETA: But that kiss!!! Wow!!!
