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.

What happens when two nerdy computer geeks are thrown together and sparks begin to fly? What if one of those computer geeks is really a hot undercover FBI agent  who is hellbent on taking down a cyber criminal? And what if all of the data is pointing at the other nerdy computer geek as being the mastermind behind the crimes? Readers will enjoy watching the story unfold. Perfect mix of intrigue, romance, and mystery. Definitely recommend.

If you like geeky alpha heroes, then you’ll enjoy this book.  The hero, Drew Kerrigan, is an undercover FBI agent sent to Cassie Howard’s company to use his computer and hacking skills to figure out how the company seemed to have stolen data from other companies in order to get a government contract.  Cassie is not your typical heroine.  She’s a brilliant, socially awkward programmer.  And she’s Drew’s chief suspect.  
 
So, of course, these two who have so much in common - their geekiness and poor social skills, plus their hotness - start falling for each other.   The reader knows what’s coming - that Cassie will find out why Drew is at the company and get hurt and then they’ll end up working together to find the hacker.  Even though the plot was predictable once we learned the set-up, it was a very fun ride and I enjoyed the interaction between Cassie and Drew as they find what they have in common trumps their suspicions of each other.  I like having the main characters both be so smart and enjoy each other’s intelligence.
 
I was given a free ARC of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Drew and Cassie are so adorably awkward. The quick and witty banter between them made for a fun and fast read.  I love the nerdy flirting. 

“Nerdy sex jokes. Who knew?”

So if you are looking for a fun and flirty read with just a touch of drama this is your book.

This was a quirky cute story. Basically two hot geeky people meet and fall in love, but one of them has a secret... he is an undercover FBI agent and just happens to be investigating the girl who is training him. She is used to being the smartest person in the room, but once he shows up that changes. They challenge each other, fight like an old married couple, and can't keep their hands to themselves. I really liked this book and recommend this book to friends and family.

Pretty cute story about two semi-awkward nerdy types. This story isn't going to set your world on fire or make you laugh out loud, but it is sweet and has a pretty solid HEA.

I'm his book was super adorable. I loved every minute of it. I love the the two main characters are with each other. That being said I wish the story was a little longer, it felt a little rushed to me to be honest especially at the end. I would've like to see the romance drawn out a little more. Aside from that a cute read!

This is the first book by Kadie Scott that I have read. I really enjoyed this book. It was funny smart and sexy. 
In this book you have Cassie, who is a highly intelligent data analyst. Drew constantly struggles to live up to her mothers high expectations. She is always compared to her brothers who are highly successful, smart doctors. In walks Drew, sexy as hell, highly intelligent FBI man. Drew is there to investigate Cassie on a high profile cyber case. She is his main suspect. But when their eyes meet for the first time, there is no denying that this girl will be trouble with a capital T. She is just as drawn to him as he is her. Will Drew be able to prove that Cassie is not the bad guy? Will Cassie lose her heart to him and then have it broken? 
This book was such a cute, steamy romantic read. I absolutely loved the plot line. It was a bit different than most of the steamy romance books out there. I loved the characters of this story. They were invested in their roles and have wonderful charisma. I love how Cassie speaks her mind without her knowing it. It is extremely funny. Drew is so cute with his "how to" books for interacting with women. And OMG the sexy nerd jokes. Loved it! If this author is not on your read list, then I highly suggest you check her out. Definitely pick this book up. It is a wonderful read.

Cassie Howard was a great character, she's very funny and I loved how she said things out loud that she was thinking. She gets a new work partner, Drew Kerrigan, who she points out right away should not be a data analyst and look like that. We find out he is an undercover FBI agent, but also a bit of a computer nerd. It was a very light read, I'd recommend if that's what you're looking for!

Funny as heck! Kept me laughing at the quips between the two of them. Definitely have to keep my eyes pealed for anything upcoming by this author and take a look at past books.

This is a voluntary review,  I do not get paid and my thoughts are my own.

Cute, funny and lighthearted book with two big brains as the main characters. It is fun to see intelligence as sexy.

An okay book. An interesting premise, but I didn't connect with the characters.

This was a captivating story with an adorable, quirky heroine and geeky-hot hero. The two main characters have great chemistry, and the suspense element of the story made it even that much better. I found myself reading this one late into the night, unable to put it down. This one also has some humor; I laughed out loud several times. It's been a while since I've found a book like this one that is able to blend so many elements (humor, suspense, likeable characters, riveting plot) together and make it work. This is the first book I've read by this author, and I look forward to reading more. I'm so glad I found her!

This is such a great read...I adore it! Ms. Scott delivers a laugh-out-loud rom-com that matches up one fiesty and sassy female geek with her equally geeky male counterpart. The sparks fly along with the innuendo as these awkward two butt heads during Drew’s undercover FBI sting operation into data analyst, Cassie, and her company. 

Please note that an ARC was generously provided in exchange for an honest review of which this is both honest and completely voluntary.

I like the cover before the story on all my books. It's what bring me in. This one is so mysterious. Since we don't see the face. And the story to me was the same way. I adored it.

Cassie Howard is a data analyst for a government contractor = nerd. She is lacking social skills and her colleagues treat her a little like Sheldon Cooper from the Big Bang Theory. One of her quirks is that she can't tell whether she is thinking or talking out loud and frequently expresses her innermost feelings out loud.

Unbeknownst to her, her new colleague Drew Kerrigan is an undercover FBI agent investigating shady dealing at the company where Cassie works. Although Drew is tall, dark-haired, blue-eyed and muscular he is also a hacker and a bit on the nerdy side too. Oh, and his prime suspect for the shady dealings is none other than Data Minds' prodigy data analyst, Cassie.

Of course we know that it isn't Cassie but apparently the combined might of the FBI can't identify the real culprit.

As Cassie and Drew bond over a love of coding and Star Wars can Drew uncover the real criminal?

How many times do I have to write, I liked it but I didn't love it? I didn't find Cassie and Drew very convincing nerds, apparently having unmatched underwear is code for geek!

A light-hearted read, perfect for the beach but not one I would re-read.
