Were-Geeks Save Wisconsin by Kathy Lyons

Did not finish book. Stopped at 30%.

Based on the title and description, I went in thinking this would be more humourous/satirical that it turned out to be. The story I do think was trying to be funny, but also trying to be heavy romance, and instead of feeling seamless it came across to me like the plot couldn't pick which genre it was. I do not enjoy erotic, full description romance, and did also feel a little duped by the cartoony cover art and punny title when I got to the first sex scene, pretty early in the plot. That was where I decided not to finish the book at all. Futher description behind spoiler filter, but I also opted out after finding the description of "geeks" to feel like it was going to be a weird fetish.

The first sex scene was uncomfortable to read, as neither party was entirely comfortable with what was happening either. Nero because he didn't want to get involved emotionally, but knew he had to physically, and Josh because it felt like a supernatural version of being drugged at a bar. I think Nero even had a line that is immediately ignored saying basically "it doesn't have to be sex, but sex is best, and if you don't you'll die". Now it did sound like the alien character was about to create a zombie geek werewolf right after that, but even as intriguing as that sounded, I found that none of the story was holding me to finish after finding out the romance style was a poor fit for me.
