About this ebook
If she builds it, they will come.
A sex toy engineer with one big secret finally meets her match, and together they’ll put their own products to the test in this steamy romantic comedy.
Scout Porter is screwed. Not literally, of course. Literally, she’s a twenty-six-year-old virgin, thanks to a relationship so disastrous she swore off love and sex for good. Metaphorically, she’s screwed because the entire office of BuzzCorp, the sex toy start-up where she’s head engineer, just found out. Scout needs her team to stay focused on their upcoming launch, not her lack of a sex life, so she finds the simplest solution: lose her V-card—and fast—then get back to business as usual.
Enter Hudson Bailey, the nerdy and charming software developer hired to build the app for Scout’s latest creation. The only problem is, he’s as inexperienced with sex toys as she is with sex. Fortunately, he’s all too eager to learn, and they agree that one very educational, totally professional hook-up will solve both of their problems. All for research, obviously.
But their little experiment yields unexpected results—chemistry so off the charts Scout starts to think she might actually want more than just a one-time fling. When their budding relationship is threatened by the return of Scout’s notorious ex, both Scout and Hudson will have to decide if they’ve reached their climax as a couple, or if they’re willing to risk everything for a chance at true love.

I enjoyed this VERY steamy story of two nerdy people falling in love. Both Scout and Hudson had issues from their past but together they helped each other work past those issues. Overall this was an entertaining read.

This book is for anyone who has ever been made feel less than, minimised or put down! The main couple, Scout&Hudson, will hopefully show you why you deserve to be loved and love, why you deserve to follow your dreams, but also to get railed in a mini golf venue!!! This is the perfect spicy romance to make you both hot for teacher, but also hot for empowerment!
