Book three in Alpha Geek series by Milly Taiden
I absolutely love this series but I wish the guys didn’t lose as much geekiness like needing glasses which I know is silly.
Gray is another genius that goes to Nick for protection, that’s where he meets Skylar again.
Skylar is trying to get over a sexy geek she had crazy airplane mile high club sex with but walks into a meeting and sees Gray.
A lot of action in this book definitely feels like more then in previous books which speeds things up and makes things more interesting.
I love that Gray is a Harry Potter fan and introduces Skylar to it as well.
Got to say Milly Taiden is a instant buy for me no matter storyline or series it based in.

There is nothing sexier than an alpha male with brains. When former model lioness shifter and former Mile High Club quickie Skylar Milan ends up as Dr. Gray Hart’s body guard he couldn’t be happier and she couldn’t be more tempted.
The chemistry between Gray and Skylar is off the charts hot! There is lots of action, humor and sexy times. This story absolutely sizzles

This book started out good—very promising—and then it just....
This became a train wreck and fast...not because of the story itself—it's a solid 3 for a fluffier read without any care for logistics of the ridiculous scenarios created—but because it has so many editing issues that I can't believe it was released as-is. I've seen a lot in a year of intense self-published book reading: this is by far one of the laziest editing jobs I have seen in almost 400 books. I'm almost impressed.
Almost.
What did I catch while reading?
✏︎ Multiple instances of the incorrect character's name being used for the person being described in the text, including pronouns that mis-matched and caused serious confusion.
✏︎ Multiple instances of bizarre sound-alike words that make no sense in context being used. For example, in one part of this story they are fighting a group of male wolves. One gets bitten, and he should have yelped in pain. As written, he whelped, which is funny, but surely not what the author intended. I have some serious questions about this male otherwise.
✏︎ Multiple instances of incorrect verb tenses. So many. So distracting.
✏︎ Gray is the third installment in this Alpha Geek series, and I also read the second, Zeke, which features Skylar's sister, Alexa. Alexa is another lion shifter, which makes sense as all of the Milan clan have been lions so far. In this book, Alexa is described several times as a wolf shifter. I just.
I even reborrowed Zeke to double check the ending and make sure I didn't miss some animal switch at the end of that book. Nope. Alexa is definitely a lion. Except apparently now she's a wolf. It's downright embarrassing that an author can not keep her own characters straight. I'm embarrassed for her.
And this doesn't even begin to dig into all of the fatphobic content in this particular segment or the lack of personality in either the FMC or MMC. Fandoms and dieting are not personalities.

Alpha Geek Book Three.
Skylar Milan is heading home after deciding to quit her career as a model when she meets Dr. Gray Hart on a plane. They join the mile high club, thinking they will never see one another again. However, Gray goes to Nick Milan for security when he thinks he is being followed. Next thing Gray knows, Skylar is introduced as his bodyguard. When she escorts Gray to his meeting, Skylar knows something is off. She even lets Nick know about her feelings, but Nick assumes her nerves are just getting the best of her. When Gray's life is in danger, though, Skylar insists that Nick bring Zeke in to save him.
If you're looking for geeks, alphas, and attempts at world domination, this is the book for you!
Audio Review:
Lexi Evans does a fantastic job with Skylar and Gray.

Skylar is a newlyretired model, fed up of being size skeleton and she is going to embrace carbs from now on! On the journey home she is sat next a major hottie. He's not her usual type, he is very Geek but something about him calls to her inner Lioness and before you know it they are inducting themselves into the Mile High Club!
Gray comes from old money, the kind with billions not millions. He is never happier than when he is tinkering inhis lab. And whilt he isn't a vastly experienced male, he reads a LOT of books and he knows exactly how to please a woman!
When fate conpires to bring them together again, this time Skylar is supposed to protect his body not feel him up! His invention has caught the attention of some unsavoury types and they are determined to get their hands on it.
Poor Skylar. She wants Gray so badly but is scared that her Lionness will lose control and hurt him, after all he is human. I feel for Skylar and her love of carbs - give me bread or pizza and I'm a happy camper. Greay calls to my nerdy, geeky, little self and I'm so happy that the geek gets the girl!
