Eve Dupree is a successful fashion model with a brain. When
she becomes bored with the modeling world, she chucks it
and moves to Middlesex, Connecticut, where she can work on
her first love: inventing gadgets. Growing up with a sister
considered the "brains" in the family, Eve was always
considered the "pretty one," so no one really knows about
her scientific abilities. That is, until an explosion in
her garage brings electrical engineer nerd Charlie Shepherd
to her rescue. With her latest invention, a hovercraft,
causing her some problems, Eve decides to take Charlie into
her confidences and get his advice on perfecting the craft.
Charlie is instantly attracted to Eve, and over a game of
pool at the Rack and Balls, the two get to know one another
a bit better. Eve is enjoying small town life and the
acceptance she finds there with the locals, including
Charlie's mom and aunt, co-owners of the Pastry Parlor, a
bakery that specializes in adult pastries. Someone,
however, is more than a little bit interested in Eve and
her inventions, and is seemingly trying to sabotage the
hovercraft project. In between perfecting the hovercraft
and trying to discover the saboteur, the attraction between
Charlie and Eve flames out of control.
TALK NERDY TO ME, the latest in the Nerd Series, is Ms.
Thompson at her best. Witty, bawdy, romantic and sexy, the
characters are beautifully fleshed out and likable, the
story believable and the reader most assuredly guaranteed
more than one laugh-out-loud moment. Nerd fans are going to
love this one!
Fashion model Eve Dupree is fed up with being labeled “the
pretty one” while her sister’s called a genius. Eve’s got
loads of brilliant ideas, not the least of which is the
invention she’s building in her garage. But when she turns
to the nerd next door to help get it off the ground, she
finds herself on dangerous ground.
Charlie Shepherd has discovered that there’s more to Eve
than meets the eye. But it’s not just her body he likes—
it’s those sexy brains of hers. Romance is a complication
he doesn’t need right now. The problem is, she has
something he needs and he can’t seem to resist her.
Keeping her creation under wraps is harder than Eve
expected—as is denying her attraction to Charlie. But when
a saboteur starts sniffing around her project, she
questions everyone around her, even her nerd in shining
armor. Can opposites attract or will they ignite a fire
they can’t control?
