The Nerd Prince

A serious disappointment in life has Cade Ryan on a downward slide of living in sweats, playing video games and ignoring the world as he once knew it. The place that he has rented in order to lick his wounds seems adequate for such except for occasions of a terrible racket coming from the upstairs neighbor.

Shell Anderson really needs to practice for an upcoming concert. She is a cellist and has a great love of even the more esoteric pieces. Her passion for music comes through clearly in her playing.

If only her romantic relationships could be so successful. Unfortunately, she has been going for the wrong type of guy. A minor run in with a kind but nerdy man may well be the beginning in a change of luck.

For such a short book readers will truly feel that they get a complete romance which brings emotions into play.

While this may not be a new kind of storyline, Ellen Fisher takes an old tale and makes it fresh. Readers will find the magic of the story in the details used to bring the characters to life.

One cheers Shell on in her peeking beneath the thick lenses, the unkempt appearance and the lack of general fashion sense of our hero. That surface layer covers soulful eyes and a man worth the effort of digging for.

It is a pleasure that the author takes the time to allow the attraction to convincingly build. When Cade and Shell come together it is moving, sweet and sensuous.

You never know where you will find your prince. Why not sit back and enjoy the account of this search?
