Give Me the Geek: Why Shy, Smart Men Are Secretly the Hottest Lovers

Why Geeky Declan is the Real Halloween Fantasy

Look… I love a broody vampire as much as the next romance reader, but sometimes the sexiest man in the room isn't the one baring fangs or flexing his fake muscles. Sometimes he's the shy tech billionaire in a ridiculous cyberpunk costume—blushing behind his mask, clutching his phone like it's a life raft, and trying so hard to be confident while quietly melting down inside.

In The Bewitching Kisses Bet, Declan Glitchwood walked into Ruby's bar like a nervous little cinnamon roll…

And walked out the kind of man who'll ruin you for anything less than soft vulnerability wrapped in hidden heat.

Soft Voice. Sharp Mind. Wicked Intentions.

Here's why every woman deserves a Declan on Halloween night:

1. He's Not Just Smart… He's "Fix-Your-Haunted-Sound-System-With-One-Hand" Smart

A man who can stop a spooky audio takeover while handcuffed to you?

Yes please.

Geeky talent is foreplay.

2. Shy Men Blink Slowly… Until They Don't

There's nothing like that moment when the quiet one finally gathers enough courage to kiss you like he's been thinking about it since the second he saw you.

Slow-burn payoff? Delicious.

3. Soft on the Outside, Dangerous in the Dark

Declan blushes easily, stammers cutely, and apologizes when a plastic spider scares him.

But get him alone in a flickering-lit Halloween hideaway?

Oh, sweetheart… he does not stay shy.

4. Vulnerability Never Goes Out of Style

Show me a geeky man who lets you see the part of himself he's ashamed of—

And I'll show you a future husband.

Declan's openness with Ruby?

Romance kryptonite.

5. Geeky Men Love Like They Code: Precisely, Passionately, and With Full Commitment

Once you're in their system?

It's game over.

They bond hard, love deeper, and stay loyal.

6. They Don't Play Games… They Just Accidentally Win Your Heart

Declan didn't swagger his way into Ruby's life—he stumbled into it. And somehow that felt more intimate, more real, and way more addictive.
