TALK NERDY TO ME

Romance Contemporary

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!

SUMMARY

Fashion model Eve Dupree is fed up with being labeled โ€œthe pretty oneโ€ while her sisterโ€™s called a genius. Eveโ€™s got loads of brilliant ideas, not the least of which is the invention sheโ€™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 thereโ€™s more to Eve than meets the eye. But itโ€™s not just her body he likesโ€” itโ€™s those sexy brains of hers. Romance is a complication he doesnโ€™t need right now. The problem is, she has something he needs and he canโ€™t seem to resist her. Keeping her creation under wraps is harder than Eve expectedโ€”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 canโ€™t control?
