Camp Nerd

Walker Hills, Book 1

By: Bella Jewel

Narrated by: Allie Shae

Firstly, let me make this clear: I didn't come here for drama. I came here to escape, to unwind, to relax in paradise.

This place is meant to be everything epic the world can offer. A ranch, run by hot, tattooed mountain men, that has been made into a retreat. An escape from the world, from all the stresses of daily life.

Not only do you get to interact with said gorgeous men, but you get to be involved in the everyday running of the ranch; that is, when you're not hiking, fishing, riding horses, and relaxing.

We're the first group to camp hot stuff, and for what seems like the shortest time, it's bliss.

Don't get me started on the man who seems scarily into me, even though I'm about as fun as a stone on the ground. I'm also as ugly as one. Okay, that's a bit over the top. I'm not ugly. I am, however, nerdy. Men like him don't look at girls like me. I have curves and glasses and my hair isn't sun-kissed blond.

Still, everything is going beautifully until a body shows up. One of my people is dead. Murdered. And now my little vacation has turned into a murder mystery. With hot men, a camp full of nerds, and a whole lot of unanswered questions. This should be fun.

Contains mature themes.

I wasn’t sure going in if I was going to finish, I felt like it was a little juvenile but, in the end, it worked out. I also feel like maybe the female narrator sounds a little young which could have been why I felt like that.

For the most part, you are rooting for Lei. She and her fellow musicians (which didn’t feel like an orchestra at all, music wasn’t really part of the book AT ALL) retreat to a ranch run by a lot of studly men. No one mentioned that so it was a surprise for them all.

Rhett the owner fell for Lei on day one. She was reluctant to believe anyone could want her because she was awkward and a bit nerdy with curves. Oh, and did I mention a virgin you will learn this a few times in the story.

It was entertaining for sure and a fun listen with the added mystery that I wasn’t expecting but enjoyed.

It was cute, it was free.

I wanted Cara to go to prison just because of her voice. Glad she's not the main character!
