Women. Who needs 'em? Ever since his wife left him for another man--and a balding, dweeby orthodontist, at that--Cade Ryan has lost interest in anything but video games. But when he meets the gorgeous, fun cellist upstairs, he finds himself not hating women quite as much. In fact, he finds himself interested in women again... and one woman in particular.
Men. Who needs 'em? After a string of lousy boyfriends, Shell Anderson has sworn off dating, preferring to spend her spare time with her cat. At first the video-playing nerd downstairs doesn't tempt her to change her mind. If she were to go down that path again, it would be with a guy who could at least support himself. But there's something in the eyes behind the coke-bottle glasses that makes her think maybe, just maybe, he's not a nerd, but a prince...

I truly enjoy Ms. Fisher's characterizations, especially her heroes. She writes a great, sexy, and believable geek. With a family of geeks surrounding me, I know how they think and act. I've been known to roll my eyes a few times and laugh out loud as I recognize my husband and sons in her descriptions. Well, my husband isn't 6 ft tall and quite that built, but the other things are similar! I also love how her heroines are not shy wallflowers, but sexually aware and experienced.
The Nerd Prince is a funny, and at times, moving story of healing from a bad relationship and taking a chance on a new one. Recommended.
I wasn't expecting it to be as short as it was. But the plot was cute, and the characters were fleshed out enough in the few pages they were given. A fluffy read. Not fantastic, but pretty good.
