Three childhood best friends. And all three ladies are hot and nerdy!!! And in Shannyn Schroeder's Hot & Nerdy Anthology which consist of three different stories that focuses on each friend on their last spring break, Ms. Schroeder will entice readers with a sexy, sweet, charming, brainy romance of a math geek, a computer hacker, and a science nerd discovering that good girls can also go crazy and let loose.... hot, sexy, fun on spring break.

In Her Best Shot, we are introduced to Layla Sharpe, a math genius who was recently offered a job at the NSA. And so she and her best friends decide to meet up in Texas for one last fun fling before they all graduate and separate. On her way to Texas, Layla's car breaks down and so she stuck in a small town in Georgia. While waiting for her car to get repaired, she meets Phin at a local bar and soon these two begin to play pool. As Layla and Phin engages in their pool session, Layla's wallet get stolen leaving her stranded. With no car and money, Phin offers her a place to stay for the night. And soon, things begin to heat up with Layla and Phin. So will Layla be showing all her angles to Phin?

I enjoyed Layla's story but did not love it. I just felt this story dealt more with them playing pool and having sex. Yes there was some intimate moments of them explaining their pasts and their dreams, but I felt it was overshadowed by the all the pool games and sex. Overall, it was a quick romance read. I just wished I got to see more interactions with her friends since I love the idea of three girlfriends letting loose together.

In the second book, Her Perfect Game, we are introduced to Charlie Castle, a gamer and a computer hacker. When she goes to "hackfest", she didn't expect to meet her ex-boyfriend Jonah. As Jonah and Charlie begin to spend more time with one another, old feelings begins to reemerge. Can an old flame be rebooted?

Charlie and Jonah's story really intrigued me more than the first story since this couple shared a history. I like this second story way better since there was more of an emotional and deep connection formed between Charlie and Jonah. Overall, this story was a quick sweet romance read.

In third installment of the Hot @nd Nerdy anthology, we are introduced to Felicity Stone, a brainy science nerd who loves solving chemical formulas and equations. On her way to Texas to meet her friends, Felicity meets Lucas Tanner, a teacher who is also heading to Texas for his brother's wedding. Call it coincidence or fate, Felicity and Lucas ends up seating next to each other on the plane where Lucas asked Felicity if he could be his date to his brother's wedding. With her friends abandoning her on spring break, Felicity agrees to be his date. With a few drinks in her system, Felicity and Lucas finds themselves forming their own chemistry.

Her Winning Formula was my favorite out of the three stories. I felt Felicity and Lucas story was still able to maintain a sizzling chemistry but was also able to showcase a tangible bond forming between these two. This novella was able to flow at a great pace and yet kept readers engaged in this sweet and cute romance.
