Smartasses: A Sexy Nerd Rom Com Anthology by Sara Ney, Jiffy Kate, Sonali Dev, Kayley Loring, Avery Flynn, Penny Reid, Krystyna Allyn, Erin Mallon, Susannah Nix, Karen Grey, Jana Aston, Helena Hunting

3.0

As is typical with short story collections, this was a mixed bag. Not surprisingly, the weaker authors had much longer contributions than the stronger authors, which is always disappointing. I think romance authors don't do as well with the short story format. They have become used to the slow roll out, so while a story is less complex, it often ends without real resolution (only climax -- and yes I meant the double entendre).

The most disappointing part of this is that it was supposed to be a "Sexy Nerd Rom Com anthology" and many of the authors didn't really get the "nerd" part. Disappointing indeed.
