So at Joyfully Jay we like to occasionally share some of our favorite books in different tropes and themes in our Favorite Books lists. We haven’t done one in a while, so today I thought I’d pull together a list of our top picks in one of my favorite tropes: geeky heroes. I have a soft spot for the geeky men and women, partly because I am pretty geeky myself. I also think this makes for such a nice romance dynamic and there can be a lot of fun to be had with this theme.
So here is a list of our favorites. You can find all our books tagged for geeky heroes here. And I’ll be honest, we probably have lots more that we forgot to tag. So if you have any of your own you want to share, please add them in the comments.
