The Geek Girl and the Scandalous Earl
The Stakes Have Never Been Higher...
An avid gamer, Jamie Marten loves to escape into online adventure. But when she falls through an antique mirror into a lavish bedchamber—200 years in the past!—she realizes she may have escaped a little too far.
Micah Axelby, Earl of Dunnington, has just kicked one mistress out of his bed and isn't looking to fill it with another—least of all this sassy, nearly naked woman who claims to be from the future. Yet something about her is undeniably enticing...
Jamie and Micah are worlds apart. He's a peer of the realm. She can barely make rent. He's horse-drawn. She's Wi-Fi. But in the game of love, these two will risk everything to win.

The Geek Girl and the Scandalous Earl is a mostly charming book, but ultimately flaws in the third act prevent me from recommending it.
Jamie, the self-professed geek girl, is an apparently unemployed songwriter reeling from a bad breakup. She gets sucked through a magical portal back to 1816 and appears in the home of Micah Axelby, Earl of Dunnington. Hi-jinx ensue and love is fallen into.
The Good
Lamm's narrative voice is fun and feels authentic to the character. The writing isn't objectionable, aside from some overwritten metaphors ("the words tumbled in her head like jeans in a Maytag" and "her yes was stuck in her throat like a wad of stale pretzels" jumped out at me as being a bit much).
The Bad
This book was actually tedious to get through. Jamie is neither likeable nor unlikeable, she exists as a protagonist we can relate to, following along in her journey through an unfamiliar time when women were treated more as objects than as functioning, capable human beings. However, beyond that, her many ridiculous decisions really prevented me from caring about her. And all we know about her feelings for Micah is that he's really, really attractive, and something about his gentlemanly manners makes her feel all warm and gushy, even as she demands to be treated as an equal, liberated woman.
Other aspects of her personality made her decidedly unheroic. I mean, I can understand being broken up about getting dumped, but at the beginning of the novel, the girl has no job because she's been mourning her last relationship. She plays computer games all day and her best friend has to practically force her into accepting some part-time employment. At the end of the book, she's not much better, she doesn't really seem to grow.
There was also no shortage of conflict, but one of my biggest problems with this novel comes in the resolution to the conflict. At first, Micah and Jamie can't stand one another, then as Jamie starts to fall in love, Micah reveals his deep feelings of responsibility as a nobleman and how that necessitates he marry properly. In relating the tale of some other gentleman who married his mistress and left his estate in ruin, Micah states "now, the families who depend on him for survival, his servants, the residents of the farms at his country estate, his mother -- they are all left destitute because of his selfish actions."
That sets up a pretty big story problem - Jamie realizes that regardless of his feelings for her, he places his responsibilities to others above his own personal happiness. Kind of a good quality in a guy, but bad news for their HEA. Of course this is a romance so it's no spoiler to say that they do get their HEA - but Lamm never addresses Micah's very valid concerns about his Earl-ish responsibilities. We spend the whole book getting to know Muriel and Thornton and George, the servants who help Jamie get acclimated to 19th century England. The ending of the novel leaves their fate uncertain and unknown, which to me was unacceptable.
Other story threads are just left hanging. And none more gapingly than the fate of Mrs. Knightsbridge.
The Ugly
This is a big whopping spoiler:
It's a fun concept, but I needed another chapter or an epilogue or something to tie up all the loose ends.

Even by the often excruciatingly low standards of this genre, this book features one of the most deeply stupid women in all of pulp romantic fiction. She is unusually annoying, thoughtless, oblivious, has no sense of self-preservation, and just generally deserves to have her membership to the 21st century revoked. She is every brash, braying, self-righteous American tourist you've ever had the misfortune to meet (oh, you know the one's I'm talking about, all of you who live in a touristy city) only she's inflicting herself on the 1800's AND on another country. I can't bear to read all the way to the end. I simply could not care less about the overly neat happy ending no doubt waiting for this fool and her cardboard cut-out of a hero.
A perfectly decent puppy and Colin Firth were harmed in the making of this book.

Sometimes you come across a book that manages to just utterly charm you, that is what The Geek Girl and the Scandalous Earl did to me. It was far from perfect but I really, really enjoyed it. Firstly I just loved the idea. A geek girl falling through time and landing in a handsome and surly earl’s bedroom is exactly my kind of thing and I thought it was executed really well.
I loved the characters, Jamie was so much fun. I loved her feisty attitude and her determination where her relationship with Mike was concerned. My one complaint about her was that she had a tendency to do silly things which got a little annoying at times but then she sacrificed everything for the sake of a dog which being a dog lover I couldn’t complain about.
Mike or Micah was amazing. He was completely swoon worthy and at times rather devastating. His demeanour was not always exactly friendly but there was just something about him that I just couldn’t help but love. He could be so nice and sweet but there was a tough side to him to, I liked both equally.
The romance between them was full of chemistry, I just loved them together and the love scenes were really, really great.
There were times where this didn’t quite make sense and I thought that it was maybe a tad too long but these things didn’t bother me at all. At the end of the day this is just a very charming, very sweet romance that I would recommend.

hmmm. so i picked this up because the title caught my eye at the library and i was fairly certain it was going to be ridiculous in the best way. i got what i was looking for in the first third of the book -- jamie proves she's from the future by introducing the earl to angry bird and that's beautiful to me :') -- but the story began to drag a little as it went on. i guess the problem was that there just wasn't very much to jamie. she's pretty quick to chill about being stuck in the past and spends the novel learning how to be a lady from micah's housekeeper, being bored out of her mind, and making dumb decisions as a result of being bored out of her mind. i can relate to the latter, sure, but it isn't terribly interesting to read about.
i think this book could have been a lot more interesting if jamie hadn't automatically been afforded lady status after being flung in the past. there's one point where she's moping about how she has nothing to do and all i could think was 'wow, that is like the epitome of rich white kid problems. girl, go help with the cleaning, or shopping or something, god, i'm pretty sure there's plenty of work to be found on an estate if you try!'
idk, the premise of this story is fun enough to garner some good will but the characters and plot don't quite live up to it. also it ends with micah joining jamie in the future and with all the to do about how it was going to be a struggle for her to adjust to the past i was wondering how exactly micah was going to live in the good old u s of a with no social security number, educational or employment history, or employable skills
i guess the sequel can be 'jamie and micah learn about the undocumented immigrant struggle and develop political opinions'. that sounds like it might even offer some conflict worth reading about!

Seeing the title of this book, I know exactly what many of you are thinking. That the story is going to be silly (or worse), the characters will be two-dimensional (or worse) and the writing will be average at best. And if I’m honest all of those things are probably true about The Geek Girl and the Scandalous Earl. However, if you expected this review to become a diatribe about what went wrong in this story I’m going to have to point you in another direction, because for all of its flaws (and there were many) I still had an OK time reading this book.
Books like The Geek Girl… are what I like to call “Cotton Candy Romances.” They are written in a tone that is overly saccharine; with characters who are defined in very broad strokes and very little depth, situations that are seemingly angsty but really aren’t, and everything is wrapped up into a Happily Ever After that never really questions ANY of the consequences of that resolution. Basically these stories exist to please the reader for a short time, but ultimately we know the story will have very little impact past the words “The End.” When I go into any story and realize it’s going to be a Cotton Candy book then I stop questioning all the little things and try to appreciate it for the entertainment value alone.

"I have tried to deny it, to ignore it, but I am helpless against it. I love you, Jamie Marten. I love your beautiful body, your brilliant mind, and even your foul mouth. It makes no sense. I have tried long and hard to convince myself of the contrary, but I cannot." - Micah Axelby
Well, well, well... If this series isn't a geek girl's dream come true, I don't know what is!
Jamie Marten is just like you and me - a geek girl. Someone who cares about stuff other than being pretty and manhunting - and who has had her heart broken thanks to a jerk of an ex-boyfriend. While she's moping in her apartment, one of her best friends, Leah, demands she gets her butt off her couch to work - and that's when things start getting weird. Because of an antique bureau acting like a time portal, Jamie suddenly finds herself all the way back to Regency England, in Micah Axelby's bedroom. Micah has no time to waste for this beautiful yet odd stranger, but his gentlemanly ways forbid him from throwing her out. Welcoming her as his guest until she can find her way back to her own time, he hopes this will not fuel the flames of scandalous gossip and ruin his plans to wed soon. Meanwhile, Jamie wants nothing more than to return back home, to her showers and computers, to the time when she can act without someone telling her she needs a protector like she's incapable of caring for herself. But what they both don't know is that fate has other things in store for them. And a certain matchmaking witch will not let them do as they please...
Ok, this book was refreshing and quite nice. Funny, sexy, and with enough drama to keep the pages turning. The dialogues were fantastic, the pace quite reasonable, and most of the characters can instantly be loved through their little traits.
Jamie was awesome! She's your everyday geek, who wants a man to treat her as an equal, but can never find this kind of guy. At first, she's freaked at Micah's attitude and words, despite his gorgeous appearance, and that's what sets her apart from most heroines. Jamie doesn't want protection. She doesn't need a chaperone, she needs a partner to share her life with, and I think that was amazing. Even after she had admitted to being in love with Micah, she was still trying to be independent, and she never agreed to stay with him - not until she would be sure there were other things to make her happy, and not just him. Talk about a woman with character depth and brains!
Now Micah... Well, what can I say about him? The first thing we notice - through Jamie's eyes - is that he's "Colin Firth's twin". Ok... Give me a minute here....
Ahem! I'm alright, I'm alright!!! I think...
Seriously, though, what kind of hot-blooded woman can keep a straight face when that man is involved?! I know for sure I would never be able to do that - and I'm speaking on behalf of 20 or more women in my immediate family, too - so Jamie deserves tons of praise for at least TRYING!
Still, he wasn't without flaws. The haughty attitude, the snobbish mindset of rich people of old times, his habbit of jumping to assumptions, the overprotectiveness.. Yeah, there were a lot of times I wanted to smack him, so you can rest assured his charm didn't last long. I understand where he comes from, but sometimes it was a bit too much... And don't even get me started on Jamie chasing after him despite his many rejections - you go, girl, I would have sooner jumped from the top of the highest bbuilding of that era than do it...
By the way, if it wasn't for the witch - and I'm not saying who it is - this would have been a 5-star book. (yes, despite my own personal problem with a woman chasing after a man hopelessly)
I mean, really, you see what you're doing to the couple you worked so hard to get together by keeping secrets, and you're still staying silent instead of just telling the truth? This is just a whole new level of stupid, if you ask me...
In any case, I'm moving on to Leah's story. I hope her man is much better than Micah - and that her story will be just as good as Jamie's.
"I love you, Micah Alexander Axelby. It has nothing to do with the fact that you’re an earl or that you’ve got buckets of money or anything like that. I love you, the man." - Jamie Marten

Jamie Marten composes music, a computer gamer and is recuperating from a broken heart. Helping a family member moving antiques to earn extra cash, Jamie is sucked through a wardrobe into the 1800’s...more specifically into the Earl of Dunnington Micah Axelby’s bed chamber.
You can imagine Micah’s surprise when a beautiful, scantly dressed woman is discovered in his bedroom. Listening to Jamie Marten’s crazy story about the future and being sucked into his closet made him think the woman daft, until she shows him angry birds on her cell phone. Understanding that Miss Marten needed his protection, Micah keeps her in his household...what he didn’t expect was keeping her in his heart.
The Geek Girl and the Scandalous Earl had time travel, historical fiction, murder mystery and romance all woven together to make the most delightful tale. Watching two people from totally different worlds collide made this story a very enjoyable read. I would love to see what would happen if the positions were reserved and the Earl had to adjust to Jamie’s world. This was a nice historical romance with a sci-fi twist.

This book was cute and funny and hilarious and….very awkward.
First gripe - who in their right mind goes to move a bunch of junk in a warehouse while wearing a tank, shorts, and…flip-flops? No gloves, no hat, apparently the long hair was down. I know it's hot, dirty, sweaty work but sheesh; dropping something heavy on your foot, getting bare skin scraped on odd bits of furniture, and well, dust, spiders, etc… So here our h is, dressed inappropriately for the job she's doing, and she gets sucked back in time via a possessed piece of furniture, to land in the H's bedroom. Dressed like that. Yeah.
The H is a peer of the realm so why is it that a member of the demimonde is hassling him? Why hasn't he had her deported or committed or something yet? And… he offers lodging to our h.
The humor comes from the fish-out-of-water in a My Fair Lady-esque manner. And boy was it funny at times. The social issues though with the setting kept me from really enjoying it. He's living in Town. I assume there's an estate somewhere? Why doesn't he retreat there? Why doesn't he enlist aid here? He doesn't want her seen at his home because it'll ruin her reputation but how does he plan to hide this? I dunno…

I found this book languishing in my To Be Read section of my Kindle where Netgalley has sent it to me quite some time ago.
The title sounded like something I would never read but I was cleaning out my old books on the device so I thought I would read a few pages to see if I should keep it. That was Saturday about noon, I am writing this just as I finished it at 11PM Sunday, it was a captivating story and light and funny while maintaining a serious nature about it to keep the reader enthralled.
The story of Jamie and the Earl (Micah or Mike as she calls him) is delightful , funny, and vastly entertaining with no boring parts that I felt the need to scan through, just right amounts of humor, romance, passion (sex) and a great ending.
I probably should give it 5 Stars just for being so entertaining but I have read several 5 Star books recently and it would feel wrong to elevate this light hearted story to that level but make no mistake I loved this story.

I don't know. I mean, you fall back in time and you're a geek girl and all you can think about is kissing this earl? Ewww, do you walk around treating all attractive men that way? Where's the game plan? If nothing else, she should have looked at it like cosplay and attacked the whole thing with vigor. You don't just blurt out you're from the future. It doesn't seem to me that rich members of the aristocracy would just let naked strangers stay in their homes. There wasn't enough geek in this girl to convince me or make me like her.

This book is somehow even dumber than the cover makes it seem.
June 8, 2017
Featuring:
--Exploitatively titled MC. The geek girl label in no way adds to the plot or the character. SLap on a couple traits: plays video games, collects comics, wants to go to comicon and promptly ignore them for the rest of the novel.
--Douchey love interest, who constantly thinks about sex, refers to the mc as a mistress, and is so oblivious about everything.
--Insta-love as the main characters fall in love days after meeting with no more connection than a few sexually tense encounters/arguments. They have no deep connection, nothing in common and make no sense together.
--Plot that makes no sense, with stupid characters who have no common sense, a convenient witch, time travel for no reason, poor decision making etc.
--Mediocre writing which I honestly ended up skimming after pg 3. I missed nothing.
--Exploitatively titled MC. The geek girl label in no way adds to the plot or the character. SLap on a couple traits: plays video games, collects comics, wants to go to comicon and promptly ignore them for the rest of the novel.
--Douchey love interest, who constantly thinks about sex, refers to the mc as a mistress, and is so oblivious about everything.

Jamie Marten is helping a friend with antiques in a storage unit when she touches the glass of an armoire and gets sucked into it and into 1816. There she meets Micah Axelby, the Earl of Dunnington. He wants to ship her off to somewhere besides his home but is talked into letting her stay. As the days go by Jamie gets more and more chances to get Mike (as she calls him) to believe her story.
Jamie stays in 1816 (I’m not sure exactly how long it was) and is taught how to be a countess by Mike’s housekeeper, Mrs. Knightsbridge. Mrs. K. tells Jamie that it was her sister Wilhelmina who is a witch and is the one who had brought Jamie to her time as she saw that Jamie was the one for Mike while doing her scrying. Days pass with Jamie having to deal with no running water, baths instead of showers, heavy clothing and all the other changes from 2012 to 1816. On top of that the more time she spends with Mike the more she likes him and sooner rather than later she’s in love. We find out that Mike is in love with Jamie as well but there’s someone who is out to harm Jamie and when they almost succeed Mike pulls back from Jamie as he can’t deal with his failure of not keeping her safe. It all comes down to trusting each other and then figuring out how they can make it all work.
This story was pretty funny – not slapstick but at times laugh out loud funny. It was also incredibly sad at times and my heart ached for the characters in so many different ways. I liked how the author gave us a myriad of of emotions in the story and didn’t try to make it ALL funny or ALL heart wrenching.
Jamie’s reaction to being thrust 200 years in the past was…well, what I would think of as accurate. While she got used to some things while she was there I loved that the author didn’t try to make her become someone she wasn’t. Mike was pretty much a stick in the mud for the most part but I could see his impish side come out a bit at times.
I thought that the pair fell in love way too fast but then the author gave us a chance to see the couple in action, so to speak, and it went a long way to having me believe their love was true. While I think I was left with a ton of questions at the end of the book I was still happy they got their HEA and was satisfied with the ending.

This just fell flat, Jamie and Micah are pretty one dimensional, Jamie's defining feature seems to be a potty mouth and Micah's defining feature is that he is hot and resembles Colin Firth.
Jamie's personality and life seems very secondary to this story- it wasn't until we reached very near the end that I even found out her job, I still can't remember how old she is (I'm not sure if I was told). Everything about Jamie seems pretty secondary to the story, we keep being told that the mirror chose the perfect woman for Micah, but there's no mention about Micah being the perfect man for her, she's been dragged out of her life and is now being pressured to learn to become the perfect 19th century women so that Micah will fall in love with her but Jamie's preferences in the matter so seem to matter that much. Jamie has no real opinions about anything, what appears to trouble her most about the past is the lack of showers.
James starts out as independent but as the story goes on she seems to loose herself more and more, with Micah making more and more decisions on her behalf, decisions she wouldn't make for herself but are 'for her own good' because she can't be trusted to make decisions for herself. every time she disobeys him she is punished with either the threat of or actually physical harm (classic way to disempower women- showing that she should obey her man for her own good)
There's also a case of 'women in fridge' (where female character dies as part of the development of a male character) with the death of Micah's previous mistress Louisa as part of Micha's backstory, by contrast Jamie's backstory is pretty much she was dumped by her boyfriend.
Anyway the whole thing is full of cliches that disempower Jamie, it's a bit like the author read this article about Outlander and ran with it http://mythcreants.com/blog/outlander...

Gina Lamm has written a historical that is perfect for people like me who just don’t read too many historicals. It’s the hygiene thing and the women not being equals to the men that keep me away from historical romances. These are not only my issues, I share them with Jamie. Jamie hates the same things and so much more when an antique bureau sucks her into 1816 England. This modern day American gamer girl who loves all things geek is thrust unwillingly into a time that she has no desire to live in. She is also not too welcome. The sexy man whose home she has invaded does not want her or her problems causing him anymore scandal.
Micah is no stranger to scandal. He has just gotten his name off the tongues of the gossipmongers when Jamie shows up in his bedroom with very little clothing on. He is in general not a happy man. He is trying to do what is considered proper and right with his title and life. The last thing he needs is Jamie and her mess. Micah is highly entertaining. He is so worried about his propriety. He has given up one thing in the hopes that the other he has brought into his life will clear the air of his past deeds. Everything about Jamie is so not proper yet he still can’t help being intrigued by the many things that make her so different.
There are several things that can be put into a tale and it is just icing on my book cake. Gina has done just that with Baron and Mrs. Knightsbridge. I love pets and meddlesome mama’s. Mrs. Knightsbridge may not be a mother but she is certainly attempting to hone her matchmaker skills when it comes to Micah and Jamie and that qualifies for meddlesome. She is also just adorable in her attempts to shape Jamie into the perfect countess for Micah.
The Geek Girl and the Scandalous Earl is just too cute for words. I am looking forward to the next installment in the Geek Girls series. I’m sure Geek Girls Don’t Date Dukes will be just as fun of a read!
Favorite quote, Micah to Jamie: “Jamie for anyone to kiss you, you must remain silent.”

Okay, but for real? It reads as if written by a middle schooler. No depth. At all. I was excited about this, but finish completely disappointed. I cannot imagine how it received such favorable ratings.

The Geek Girl and the Scandalous Earl by Gina Lamm is a romance novel scheduled for release on March 5 2013. Jamie Martenis a gamer girl recovering from a bad break up. When helping move and clean in an antique shop she falls through a mirror, only to land in the bedroom of an earl, 200 years in the past. Micah Axelby has suffered from his own loss, and finally shed himself of a mistress he did not care for. When he finds a nearly naked Jamie bleeding in his bedroom he is torn between helping the young woman who claims to be from the future, and protecting his recovering reputation. Before long, the pair is caught up in danger and the complications of love in a time where marriage is based more on business than pleasure.
The Geek Girl and the Scandalous Earl is a fun romance novel. I was expecting more geekery from the title, and I was disappointed that the geek aspect was limited solely to Jamie''s love of online games. However, Jamie and Micah were still interesting characters and their journey to happy ever after was entertaining. Jamie was a smart character, with a smart mouth and quick wit. Micah, most often called Mike by Jamie which I will admit irked me a little, was a stubborn but compassionate. The danger and conflict involved in the story was very well done, and kept me interested in what might happen next. While both the main characters were well built, I did not find myself caring about either of them very much as I read. I cared much more about Micah's housekeeper, other staff, and dog, than the two main characters. The story was there, but I felt like it could have been better.
I recommend The Geek Girl and the Scandalous Earl to readers that want a quick and fun read, and those that enjoy Lamm's writing. It was an entertaining read, but was not something I would buy for my permanent collect.

I really love historic romance that also involves time-travel. When I first picked up this book and read the short summary/excerpt on the back, I was sure I would thoroughly love it because it looked to have everything! I mean, a hunky, historic hero, and a modern day woman who gets the ultimate fantasy to travel back to the nineteenth century and find a love everlasting. Well, looks can be deceiving. It was entertaining enough, but it had a little too many flaws that made the story itself hard to relate to. First, the heroine is very quickly and abruptly taken back into the past without any real foundation to the story or her being laid out. It was like "WHAM" one minute she is in the twenty-first century, and the next she is not? She is called a "geek girl" I guess because she likes to play online fantasy video games, but that's as far as her geekiness really extends. Her connection to the past is just haphazard, in my opinion, because she is just helping to clean out an old storage unit that has some antiques when her miraculous journey happens. It's not like she has some love of history or hobby relating to history or any kind knowledge that would connect her with any time in the past. Then, when she does arrive, the hero thinks she is a little "mad" at first, but he quickly forgets about that idea because he is so taken with her and her little "gadget." Then, life just goes on . . . . ? There are some humorous moments between the hero and heroine what with both of their characters being wittily sarcastic. The ending was just a little too predictable too. I know that most all romances ended with a happily ever after, but it's nice to have some kinks and loopity-loops thrown in somewhere. I love romance and HEAs as much as the next guy/gal, but I love surprises even more. Overall, an enjoyable, average read for me.

The Geek Girl and the Scandalous Earl is a lighthearted romance with a delightful balance of historical and contemporary. That is what you get when you cross an Earl and a geek girl after all.
Unlike many other time travel romances, Lamm writes the heroine as a true 21st century woman. She doesn’t think being back in time is all romance and roses. She isn’t impressed with the proper gentleman, Micah Dunnington. And she really misses technology! For the heroine to keep her contemporary voice lent The Geek Girl a leg up on similar titles.
Earl of Dunnington, Micah, is exactly what you would expect in a stuffy earl. Qualities that would make any woman of his time melt. In particular one ex-mistress who learns of Jamie’s presence and does her best to rid the Earl of the new alluring beauty.
From a writing standpoint this book is well done. Clear and concise, free from plot holes that leave the reader confused. The only part that would have been nice to have been given more time would be the development of Jamie and Micah’s disdain to love. But what do you do when you have to keep a novel down to a certain number of pages? We do get 352 pages of fun, cute romance. So if you enjoy lighter historical romances check out Gina Lamm.

I am a self-proclaimed geek, so when I saw this title? I HAD to read it!! Fortunately, I wasn't let down in the slightest! This book is cute, with a side of steamy. (Although the steamy is only a small part of it, heavy on the cute!) And it was the perfect mind candy for a stormy weekend!
Jamie finds herself magically transported from 2012 to 1816, where she lands in the home of Micah Alexander Axelby, Earl of Donnington. Here's where the only thing I didn't care for comes in - she calls Micah "Mike" I don't get that. First, it's just plain rude (which no one points out!) Second, I've known at least a dozen Micah's and they all got Micah... But it's a small complaint in this book full of cute!
I love that Jamie is honestly torn between her 21st Century life and the love that she's developed for Micah. She longs for showers, and her online gaming guild - among other things! And she doesn't make apologies for her "strange" grammar. (Even drops an F-Bomb or two!) And I love that she shows Micah things from her world, including showing him an average night in modern times - a living room with a TV, pizza and beer!

Disappointed
Great premise, and I was really looking forward to the story as have not read any time travel for a while. While the writing style was ok and some of the initial moments and events were enjoyable, I found myself getting more and more frustrated with the development of the plot and characters the more I read. Unfortunately, in the end, I just didn’t connect with any of the characters at all and found almost all their interactions totally unbelievable. Jaimie’s internal narrative got annoying (yes it’s 1816 with no plumbing, get over it, and his name is MICHAH not Mike or Mikey - gah!) and she was just too stupid for words in the way she interacted with the world around her (or she was just beyond ignorant of any time or culture other than her own). The insta-love did not work for me either and Micah was a flat caricature of an English gentleman.
Flipped through the last two thirds to just get to the end.

It was easy to follow along with the charm here (the Angry Birds moment went a long way toward establishing good will), but given the length, there should have been fewer moments that nagged at me. I seriously doubt that most women would call a titled gentleman "Mike" within seconds of meeting him, or throw around a lot of profanity when he proclaimed them to be tarts. (Not that I normally disapprove of profanity at all--it just seemed like an unnatural move here, playing up the "brash American" stakes for higher comedy value.) Everybody seemed too accepting of the very odd situations (there was time for more exposition in 300+ pages), and Wilhelmina's storyline was left unresolved. Finally, I would have loved more establishment of Jamie's geekiness and Micah's interaction with that.

This was a cute little time travel story where the girl goes back in time and falls in love. Jamie was kind of a geek who liked playing video games and she falls through a mirror and lands in London, 1816. I liked her fiesty attitude and I have to admit, I loved her potty mouth :) it was cute watching her try to adjust. Micah, or Mike as Jamie called him, was an Earl who had had some scandal in his past and was trying to straighten things out.
I would have liked to know what happened to Mrs K. Did Mike get angry with her for keeping her secret for so long when he and Jamie could have been together if she had fessed up sooner?

I had the good fortune to read this charming novel as an ARC. I have to admit, it was love at chapter one. I rarely fall into a book that quickly, and I do mean *rarely*. But Geek Girl was my undoing. It's fun, fast-paced, quippy and sigh-worthy. I can't say enough good about the story.
One of my favorite characters is the housekeeper. She's a spry little woman with a nose that knows. You're bound to enjoy her too.
Gina Lamm is an author to watch for. If you enjoy Regency romance, fun stories and laugh-out-loud moments, don't hesitate to give this story a go. That way you're prepared for the sequel. ;)

Was it super cute? Yes. Was it realistic? It never is with time travel. Was it a bit over the top? .... Yes.......
But it was definitely fun. Cute, but I would have liked the ending a bit more flushed out. And I could have done with a lot less language. I mean, I get that that was part of the whole thing... she's a sort of crass 2012 girl. But really... It was a BIT much.... And it never addressed Aunt Flow visiting Jamie, which I thought would have been funny! It seemed like she was there long enough for that. I dunno.
(My favorite line (220): "When Jamie woke up, she wasn't dead." Hahahaha! Love it!)

There are a handful of things wrong with this novel: it reads rather like fan fiction or a self-insertion; there's instant love and attraction between the two main characters; the heroine likes to shoot her mouth off regardless of the fact that she time-traveled to 1816.
But you know what? It didn't matter. I was thoroughly entertained. Sometimes, you just need a good ol' fluff read to make your day better.

This book was a lot of fun and full of entertaining characters as well as an entertaining plot that kept me guessing. I am really looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

This book sounded like something super terrible to me honestly. I picked it up cheap on amazon because I was curious. Definitely left surprised about it being pretty enjoyable fun read.
It has some problems but for the most part it was just a silly book that was enjoyable.
