I voluntarily reviewed an ARC from Netgalley.

Thoroughly enjoyed this book. Laughed at the somewhat awkward characters. Yeah, they weren't perfect, which I loved. I find it entertaining to read about the supersmart and that's exactly what both were! Not a terribly long book, but still packed a bunch. Pick it up and enjoy!

Book: The Wrong Kind of Compatible
Author: Kadie Scott
Series: A Love Undercover Romantic Comedy
Genre: RomCom/Contemporary Romance
Release Date: June 12, 2017
Stars: 4.5
With this being my first read from Kadie Scott, I didn't know what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised by the nerd-on-nerd action and chemistry Drew Kerrigan and Cassie Howard had despite them both being socially awkward. When I read the blurb for this book, I liked that she went with nerd-on-nerd romance because the norm is usually 'one's a nerd, one's a total dreamboat'. The banter between these two was unique unto themselves because they both spoke the same nerdy language.
Even though Cassie is a highly intelligent data analyst, she doesn't live up to her mother's expectations like her siblings. But she does take her work as an analyst very seriously since she is contracted by the government. Unfortunately, someone has been hacking the company where Cassie works.
Drew, a FBI agent, has been sent to investigate a hacking but he is undercover and Cassie is his prime suspect. Even though Cassie feels threatened that Drew is there to take her job, she can't deny the chemistry and compatibility that they share, but when she learns Drew's true reason for being there, will compatibility be enough?
I know that I am not giving great detail to the substance of the book, but I don't want to spoil the plot for you since it does have an element of suspense, hence why Drew is undercover in the first place. But I will say this: I totally loved these nerds and I think this is a great start off in Abigail Owen's (aka Kadie Scott) journey into contemporary romance. I hope to see more of her.😄😍

The Wrong Kind of Compatible by Kadie Scott is a very funny book however a tad on the crude language side. You cannot help but love Cassi and Drew with their quirky personalities and geekiness. They were absolutely adorable. Cassi is a data analyst and Drew is an undercover FBI agent working at her company. She happens to be a possible suspect in his investigation. Their dialogue was funny even if sometimes raunchy. You cannot help but love these two characters. I enjoyed Drew’s interactions with his best friend and how Drew was trying to figure out how to communicate with Cassi.
In the sexual content category I would rate it a three mostly for the sexual content but there are a couple of scenes. No violence. For language I rated a three also.
This book would be perfect for fans of the big bang theory.

I loved this book so much! This one had me laughing out loud with the hilarious banter between these characters. Socially awkward characters are my favorite and this was perfection! I can't wait to read whatever this author writes next

Undercover FBI agent story this might be, don't imagine it as some sort of adrenaline-spike thriller. The Wrong Kind of Compatible is a romcom of said agent met with a brainiac data analyst.

This is the first Kadie Scott's book I read and I enjoyed the sexy, humorous tone of it. It didn't try to be overly complicated. In fact, I had a feeling the whole federal agents code and op got tone-down or simplify for the story to be easily accepted.

It help that the main characters here, Drew and Cassie were likable characters. Both were awkward nerds, a bit weird on social communication, which of course could be read as them being made for one another. Basically the nerdy jokes these two exchanged - a few of nerdy sex jokes among them - were the highlights of the story. The mutual clumsiness felt genuine, that at times I could relate to what the character did.

The ending is quite predictable and the stuff of eye-rolls to me (not big on grand gesture, I am) though it could be seen as romantic. But I gotta say, I like that Drew and and Cassie didn't dwell on bad feeling and quick to forgive each other. All in all, this is a no angst entertaining rom com with guaranteed HEA.

I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader’s copy of this book. The free book held no determination on my personal review.

One awkward pairing ends up leading to the perfect match. The Wrong Kind of Compatible is my introduction to author Kadie Scott. She lets readers know that she's a force to be reckoned with. Not many authors can make computer hacking into an exciting story that seduces and intrigues all while laying claim to the body's most vital organ. The heart. Drew and Cassie set out to entice and do so in a way that is as fresh and mysterious as the characters themselves.

This is a new author to me, and I was not disappointed, I was hooked and intrigued from the very beginning. Cassie is a data analyst, and when Drew an FBI agent is sent undercover to investigate her company for espionage, they are attracted to each other. No spoilers though, give this one a go for yourself; you will certainly not be disappointed!
This is a sweet, quirky, humorous story, and this author has done a great job as this story flows seamlessly. I look forward to reading more of this authors work in the future.

'The Wrong Kind of Compatible' by Kadie Scott is book One in the New series "Love Undercover". This is the story of Drew Kerrigan and Cassie Howard.
Cassie is the classic essential nerd who doesn't know if she talking with her inter voice or with her actual voice. So things sometimes just come out of her mouth. But Cassie is a hard worker and once she gets on a project she doesn't want to stop so she has a hard time doing so when the company introduces Drew as a new employee. Cassie is taken back by how handsome he is...and then she finds out he working with her personally. Cassie works as a Government contractor so she takes her work seriously and feels somewhat threaten by Drew who introduces himself at first as if he is taking over her position.
Drew is serious non social type guy who is working for the Government, and know is assigned to look into this company and more importantly Cassie. Drew is doing so undercover to see what has been going on with this company so trying to get Cassie to trust him went wrong from the start.
I have to say this book hooked me in from the start! I so loved how funny these two were in their 'head voices' much less what they actually did. This was a joy to read and look for more books in this series...and by this author.

Cassie Howard is a brilliant data analyst that undercover FBI agent Drew Kerrigan has been ordered to watch. A hacker like Drew doesn’t often go undercover, so he can’t screw up this mission. Nerdy, beautiful Cassie doesn’t make it easy for Drew -- she has a habit of saying the first thing that pops into her head, even when that thought is inappropriate. Drew, though, isn’t much better. He’s so awkward that he’s constantly dropping innuendo without realizing it. A relationship built on secrets obviously isn’t ideal, but maybe these two can work it out.

The Wrong Kind of Compatible is a quick, fluffy book that’s chock full of awkwardness. Don’t get me wrong -- I love some awkwardness. Honestly, if a hot, nerdy FBI agent started accidentally babbling out sexual innuendoes at every turn, I’d probably fall for him, too. The problem I had was that Cassie’s awkwardness seemed overdone. In my 27 years, I’ve never met a woman that literally could not keep her mouth shut. I’ve never met someone who didn’t have even a semblance of a filter. Cassie blurts out every awkward thought she has, but only the awkward ones. She doesn’t go around blurting out what she thinks she’ll make for dinner or that she has to use the bathroom or how she’s going to tackle her latest data set. (Probably because that wouldn’t make for an exciting plot.) Instead, she blurts out all of her sexual thoughts. It just didn’t quite seem realistic to me.

Although I can’t say that I loved this book, I did enjoy it. Drew was a great love interest, and although Cassie wasn’t my favorite protagonist, she was still pretty great. There were enough twists and turns to keep it interesting, and at only around 200 pages, it’s fast-paced, but never rushed.

There are certainly worse ways to spend a couple hours than in the presence of these characters.

“Wait. That really does it for you? Nerdy sex jokes?”
A pink flush crept into her cheeks. “Maybe.”

Oh, holy mother of geeky heroes! Nerdy sex jokes definitely do it for me—and for Cassie, clearly—and The Wrong Kind of Compatible is full of them. And clumsy, unintentional innuendo. Which is, like, the holy grail for nerd-loving readers like myself.

You guys, this book is so delightful. It’s light-hearted and completely charming; an easy, fast read that’s jam-packed with likable characters and a fun plot that engages from the get-go.

I adored Drew and Cassie. They’re equally brilliant, the same amount of awkward, and totally right together. Their burn was slow and sexy, inevitable and totally winning. Basically, this book was a joy to read, and left me smiling, after making me both giggle *and* swoon—sometimes within the space of a sentence.

I have not read Kadie Scott before, but if this is what I can expect in the future, you can bet I will be back. Especially if the Love Undercover series continues with Max. Lordy gordy, I hope he’s as geeky as dear Drew…

The Wrong Kind of Compatible was a really cute and quirky read. I thought Drew and Cassie were the King and Queen of adorable nerds and I could not get enough. This novel was so funny, "punny", and sexy. It was a fantastic read!

When brilliant and awkward, Data analyst, Cassie Howard meets sexy new analyst Drew Kerrigan sparks fly. Unbeknownst to her, this HOT and "adorkable" new employee is an undercover FBI Agent sent to hack and investigate her for corporate espionage/information theft. But what happens when lines and boundaries between them merge and real life and the Undercover Op begin to blur?

I really enjoyed this story. I felt Drew and Cassie were so perfect for each other and their chemistry so hot! They were both socially awkward and a bit weird but just so adorable for each other. Bravo!

I would like to thank NetGalley and Entangled Publishing for an advanced copy of this book for review! 4 stars! Ratula

What a great romance story! The Wrong Kind of Compatible is a sexy, geeky romance with a twist of suspense. I really enjoyed the two main characters Cassie and Drew, they have major chemistry and their interaction is great. This is my first read by this author and I would definitely recommend it.

Talk about a fun read! Romance between computer geeks who are more comfortable doing coding than carrying on human interaction! Kadie Scott’s THE WRONG KIND OF COMPATIBLE is a delightful romantic comedy that takes “awkward” to a new level.

Cassie knows her stuff, stick in front of a computer and cut her loose, no problems, she has earned the position she has, one keystroke at a time. Stick her in front of a handsome new geek and watch her filters and firewalls crumble as her thoughts go from her brain and right out her mouth!

Drew is definitely a geek, definitely handsome and most definitely NOT the most socially skilled guy on the block. He also has a secret and an undercover mission, one that could end up destroying the woman he is falling hard and fast for. The big question, if what he discovers is true, will there be any way to re-boot the budding romance that is growing between himself and Cassie or will their romance face the blue screen of death?

Kadie Scott has a real sense of humor when it comes to love! Sweet, sometimes silly, sometimes sizzling, only the secrets they each hold stand in the way to love, Funny one liners, charming scenes, some nasty secrets and corporate espionage, what’s not to love? Ms. Scott may have the perfect summer read in THE WRONG KIND OF COMPATIBLE!

the wrong kind of compatible is a charming romantic comedy about two socially awkward, yet brilliant computer data analysts. drew kerrigan is an fbi agent working undercover to discover why data minds has suddenly won a slew of government contracts, and why those proposals contained information that looks like corporate espionage. his main suspect is cassie howard.

cassie comes from a family of overachievers, and she is the best at the type of work she does. so when her company hires someone in a similar role, she's immediately suspicious. it's hard to be a woman doing the kind of work she does.

the fact that drew is ridiculously attractive makes it even harder. and then he seems to be on her same wavelength when it comes to blurting out slightly inappropriate, slightly suggestive things.

drew is torn. he's at data minds on a job. he's supposed to be collecting evidence that damns cassie, but he finds it difficult to believe that she would be behind anything like that. and it's not just his attraction to her that leads him to think that way. but the fbi wants proof, they're not interested in his gut instincts.

the closer drew gets to cassie the more worried he is about being able to stay unbiased. when everything comes to light, it seems like drew and cassie will end up on opposite sides. but these two hackers understand each other too well, the chemistry between them is not just apparent as they write and analyze lines of computer code, but also in the banter and sheer sexual tension that thrums between them at all times.

Cute, sexy, and funny in a totally geeky kind of way! I loved these characters. Cassie and the way she says whatever pops into her brain and Drew with his sexy geekness made this story so much fun to read. Drew works for the FBI and is undercover investigating the company Cassie works for in shady deals on government contracts. All the evidence points to Cassie but Drew's gut tells him she's not cut out for underhanded dealings. So now is he working to prove she's guilty or working to find who the real culprit is?? And this thing between them. Will it work out once the truth is known?

This is a fun quick read that I highly recommend.

This was a cute, light hearted read. I thought the characters were adorable. The story did at times feel like it was moving at a really quick pace and felt a little rushed. I would have liked to read a little more relationship wise. I did like the twists at the end and the mystery to the story though and it was definitely a lot of fun to read. I would definitely read more from this author.
