Her Best Shot (Hot & Nerdy, #1)

I really liked Her Best Shot, but I wish it were longer! Layla is quickly approaching graduation and she already has her dream job lined up, so to celebrate, she and her girlfriends are going to have an awesome Spring Break in Texas. Too bad that Layla's car breaks down on her way and her wallet gets stolen while playing pool at a bar. Luckily, she's been playing with Phin who offers her a place on his couch while he repairs her transmission. It's certainly a vacation Layla is not likely to forget.

Her Best Shot was fun. I loved that Layla was a math geek, and I thought the pool shark angle was great. But like I said, it was too short! I don't feel like I really got a sense of who Layla was other than being a math geek. I couldn't tell if her behavior was out of character and she was throwing caution to the wind. Or is she a sexy math geek who regularly picks up guys? I just didn't know, especially toward the end when she makes a seemingly rash decision.

Other than that, I thought Her Best Shot was great. It's super sexy! Phin and Layla are great together! There are some interesting tidbits about his culture that affect what they do in the bedroom, but I do wish he hadn't been constantly referred to as a "gypsy." Perhaps we should move past that word. I also really enjoyed their pool playing scenes together. Layla is competitive! The ending was really open though, so I wanted to know what happened next!
