Totally Geeked by Becca Jackson
Love In Play Series, Book 2
Harrison’s love life is a parade of fun, flirty encounters thanks to every dating app you can imagine, but nothing sticks. Finally, sick of the endless cycle of Friday night hookups, he hits uninstall on the apps and challenges the universe to show him that he deserves someone better.
What he didn’t expect was the universe throwing him a curveball in the form of his best friend’s younger brother. Despite being best friends with Gordon for years, he’s never actually met his siblings and even half-joked they didn’t exist.
But there they are, at a party at Gordon’s place, and one brother, Arlo, is seriously hard to ignore. He’s nothing like Gordon. Quiet, adorable, and totally off-limits… which sucks. But when Harrison spots an opportunity to help him steady his nerves on his children’s book tour, he jumps at the chance to get to know him better, because spending time with him feels like the most right thing he’s done in forever.
The more time they spend together, the less Harrison can imagine being with anyone else. But going after what he wants means betraying his best friend. Can he find the courage to catch life’s most unexpected pitches?

Harry lends a hand
“So are you all set for your reading?” Harrison asks me.
My stomach flips at the thought of it. Reading my book in front of who knows how many strangers is top on my nope, don’t wanna, can’t, not for me list right now.
“It wasn’t supposed to be a difficult question,” Harrison adds, laying the net down beside the pool and making his way over to where I’m standing by the back doors.
“I’ve never read my stories out loud before, let alone to people.”
“Ahh, so you think you might have a touch of stage fright?”
“Maybe.”
“Well then sweetheart, hit me with it,” he says, stepping around me and sitting on a chair by the back door.
“Huh?”
He leans back, resting one ankle on his knee.
“I’m ready, read to me.”
My face grows warm and my heart is thumping in my ears. He can’t be serious.
“I don’t have the book.”
“You had it last night.”
“I mean, it’s inside.”
“I’m not going anywhere darlin, go on. Trust me, the first time is always the hardest.”
His lips pick up in a tiny smirk. “Go on.”
I roll my eyes but do what he says, and head back inside to grab the book.
When I come back out he stands.
“You should sit. You’ll be sitting at the thing won’t you? I mean I can move to the floor, like the kids will be.” Before I can stop him he sits cross legged on the tile covering the back patio a few feet from the chair, hands in his lap, back straight just like he might have sat at school who knows how many years ago. He isn’t old, maybe about Gordon’s age, or a touch older. His thick dark hair moves with the breeze and I catch sight of a few grays by his ears. But it’s the small lines at the corners of his eyes, the marks of a million gorgeous smiles, that holds my attention.
“I don’t think this is going to help,” I say, and he shakes his head.
“You won’t know unless you try. I really want to hear your story. Plus then I’ll know how it’s supposed to be read when I get my copy to read to my sister’s kids.”
I take a breath and sit. A little practice can’t hurt. I’ve read it in my head a million times I could probably recite it, but my heart is racing and if I wasn’t holding the book I’d be even more worried about what the hell I was supposed to do with my hands.
“Okay, here goes,” I say, turning the book so that the cover faces him. “Gordie Goes Bananas.”
“Yaaaaaay!” Harrison says, in a child-like voice and I can’t help but laugh.
“Are you going to do that the whole time?”
He shrugs. “Maybe. Kids make noises.”
I steady myself and open the book.
