In the process of a divorce, Cade Ryan’s life has reached an all time low. For months he kept to himself. That was until the upstairs neighbor started playing that racket. He did his best to ignore the noise but as it continued, Cade’s self imposed exile started to fade.
As a professional cellist, Shell Anderson practiced everyday. Up until the downstairs neighbor started to make such a loud noise, she couldn’t hear herself play. Furious, Shell marched downstairs, a bit surprised she didn’t have to wait in line.
The first image of Shell was not favorable. The impression soon changed as he came to know her. Too bad the impression was not mutual. Cade was a slob. A nerd. And yet … there was something about him. When he turned into her un-expectant hero, Shell decided to give him a chance. The sparks fly as soon as they touch one another. But as they become close, things started to get complicated. Though they more than liked each other, neither was sure they had a future together.
The Nerd Prince is a quick, entertaining read. Though Shell’s character came across well, Cade’s came across a bit strong in the self-pity department. Thankfully, halfway through the book, the hero started to change. Although I liked the story, the pace seemed to wander in a few places. Overall, Ellen Fisher created a world that felt true to life. The spark of humor and the steamy romance made The Nerd Prince an good afternoon read.
