Publisher's summary

Remember that time you accidentally sexted your in-laws?

Yeah. I just did that. Except worse. Now my million social media followers are reading and sharing the rude, smartass message I meant to send privately to my little sister...and I'm officially public enemy number one.

I'm Beck Ryder. Former boy bander. Underwear model. Fashion mogul. And I just buried my entire leg in my mouth - not just my foot - modern internet style, and publicly insulted my sister's neighbor.

Sarah Dempsey.

Also known as the woman of my dreams, who loves geeky TV shows, baseball, and giraffes, who's just as turned on by food as I am, and who has a huge secret that I didn't see coming.

Now it's time to grovel and apologize publicly on social media and hope that those same followers who helped start the raging shitstorm will help calm the waters.

Because Sarah doesn't want the spotlight. For very good reasons that I can't tell you right now and trying to convince her to be my fake girlfriend to fix this mess and make me look like less of a jackass is worse than taking a kick to the nuts by Jackie Chan.

And I thought modeling underwear made me feel naked.

Trying to start a relationship in the era of the twitterazzi isn't all that it's cracked up to be.

America's Geekheart is a rockin' fun romantic comedy featuring a billionaire fashion mogul who got his start modeling underwear, the geeky girl next door with a secret the size of California, and more superstitions and secrets than you can shake a baseball bat at. It stands alone with no cheating or cliffhangers.

I love this story and could listen to it daily!

Erin Mallon is quickly becoming one of my favorite female narrators. Her performance in this book is superb! I felt a connection to her as Sarah. On the surface, I have nothing of note in common with this character, and yet - through Erin's performance, I felt like I really "got her" --- When I read the book (versus listened) I didn't notice this connection as much, so I can only attribute it to Erin's performance. :)

Jason Clarke gives the wild and crazy Beck all the charm and fun that this character needed. Pippa wrote an OUTSTANDING hero in Beck and Jason did him justice!

I love this story so much --- the accidental tweet heard round the world and the taser incident that changed their lives forever. How sweet! And, Beck has this incredible squad of family/friends that I just wish I was part of. The story was so cute, so fun, and had a great payoff at the end. Oh, and the best part - we get to meet one of the best characters in the entire Pippaverse in this book, Sarah's best friend Mackenzie. She's insane and I adore her. I'm so glad she got her own story because I adored her in this book (she is the heroine in Jockblocked).

America's Geekheart is a really a fun "romp" of a book/listen. Five big fat tweeting stars!!! Love this story, love the characters, and love the performance! Pippa does it again. An automatic one-click for me, every time!

Beck is my next book boyfriend!

Narrator Review:
Jason Clark really brought Beck to life! His voice is just soo swoon worthy! Erin Mallon captured Sarah perfectly. Great narration by great voice actors!

Book Review:
Beck just loves life! Like everything about it. He is genuine about everything, what you see is who he is. But sometimes he makes mistakes and he made one BIG one by tweeting the wrong thing to the wrong woman.

Sarah isn’t who she says she is. She’s hiding her past from everyone. She doesn’t want to be found. But she can’t hide now that Beck accidentally brought her into the spotlight by a mistake, tweet.

I just love Beck! He is soo genuine and nice. He sees only the good in everything. He sees Sarah for the beautiful, smart, amazing woman that she doesn’t see in herself. How he fell into insta-love with her, swoon! I love the interaction between these two. How he showed her that she was strong and beautiful through his actions.

Another book that Pippa showed us what an amazing writer she is!

Funny Rom Com with pets

Carries on with various characters from various other books which is fun and several lol.

Cute story

This is a cute story, light read. I felt it was a lacking a little of the pivotal moments. But I laughed out loud a few times and smiled a lot listening to it. Batdad was my favorite.

Absolutely Amazing,

America’s Geekheart is the perfect mix of romantic, funny, swoony, sexy and laugh out loud hilarious!
If you look up romcom in the dictionary, you will probably discover it to be the cover of Geekheart.
Beck is easily the most romantic hero I’ve read in a while; although he starts his story on a very wrong foot, with the proverbial foot (in his case the entire leg) inserted so deep in his mouth, it just might need to be surgically removed.
But you can’t help but love him anyways and cheer him on as he redeems himself and falls for Sarah.
Throughout the book we get to visit with his former bandmates, his family, some Hollywood royalty, Fireballs’ and Thrusters’ players as well as pet pigs, and other domesticated animals and even an endangered species.
The narration by Jason Clarke and Erin Mellon is perfection, they make the story come alive!
I have read and loved all Pippa Grant’s book but America’s Geekheart just became my all time favorite!
If you are looking for a sweet, sexy romcom you definitely want to read Beck’s and Sarah’s story!

Terrible female narrator, great otherwise

I enjoyed everything about this book except for the female narrator’s performance. She drags out and drawls the last syllable of every sentence she speaks! She even does it every time she says “Saraaaaaaaah” at the beginning of each of her chapters.

It creates such a distracting and whining style that I couldn’t bear to listen to for very long. It took me forever to get through the book because I couldn’t stand her speaking style.

The humorous story and male narrator were the only reasons I was able to finish the book, though I had to do it in sessions.

Pippa Grant, you make me laugh out loud

It isn't just the lovable characters Pippa Grants creates or the stories she tells, it's that in each and every book there are moments of hilarity that will not be confined to an amused grin or a mild chuckle. In an age that takes itself way too seriously Pippa Grant books are a wonderful escape.

A Taser and Love at first sight

Beck is the funniest book Boyfriend with his insatiable hunger and infatuation with one geeky Sarah Serindipity who tasered him thinking he was a bad guy but was actually sneaking over to apologize after an accidental tweet to his sister. Their story is filled with humor and attraction. Who said there is no such thing as love at first sight even if you are seeing double. Sarah's Parents and Becks Family combined bring the story to life and the slow burn that when they finally get their moment alone is swoony. Wish there were more bonus Epilogues to see where their life ended up 10 to 20 years later some of Pippas other stories get. Jason Clarkes sexy voice and Erins are well suited for these characters.

Dear Internet

There are no gavels earned by Trolls, neither are they awarded pay for Troll court duty. So…

This is one of those stories where the characters are extremely relatable for me. The way Pippa writes the multi-perspective of a sibling jest tweet gone wrong is intuitive. The way the family unit is written…spot on for the view into the ideals behind the family we choose 💜

Perfect amount of off the wall humor!

* 4.5 Stars *
America's Geekheart is only book two of the Bro Code series but I am pretty sure Beck and Sarah are going to be my favorite couple of the series! Beck was introduced in book one as the goofy and lovable brother to Ellie and best friend to Wyatt... he also happens to be a former boy bander turned underwear model and fashion mogul. He was portrayed as such a clown previously that I didn't expect to love him so much, but his fierce defense of Sarah's awesomeness in this book completely won me over! Sarah is the geeky scientist who is the victim of Beck's tweet gone wrong. The nerd in me loves a good geeky female MC and Sarah completely had my loyalty with her awesome t-shirts, comic books and firefly memorabilia. Seriously, this book had it all; fake relationship, secret identities, awesome pets, great family relationships... and the humor, holy crap the humor! I was laughing my butt off through so much of the book between the pet romance, the taser incident and the baby poop bomb!

Jason Clarke and Erin Mallon did an amazing job narrating this story. They brought the characters to life and added the perfect amount of humor to all the scenes!
