Nerds Like it Hot by Vicki Lewis Thompson is another fun book in her nerd series. (My favorite about this is you really do not need to read them in any order really.) This time a makeup artist Gillian hears and sees a murder on the set of her latest movie job. She knows the murderer is rumored to have shady mob ties and goes for help from her friend Cleo, an aging actress who once was buddies with Marilyn Monroe. Cleo decided that Gillian needs to have a makeover for a disguise and gets her to go on a singles nerd cruise so that she can escape to Mexico. Cleo enlists the help of P.I. friends Lex and his partner Dante to be bodyguards.
Lex is attracted to Gillian – but she just thinks it is the new Marilyn makeover. He keeps trying to protect her from odd incidents on the ship and make sure she stays alive.
Thompson once again builds a fun cast of characters who provide Gillian with her “family”. The murderer is kinda creepy, but we know that the nerds will prevail. Definitely fun and frothy.
