The Reluctant Nerd Review

The Reluctant Nerd - Sandra Paul

Graduate student Ernestine St. Bennett is intrigued by a nerdish new tenant in her apartment complex and decides to help him overcome his apparent social ineptness by applying the same scientific tactics that work on her fish. Little does Ernestine know that Simon Prime is really Sam Pierce in disguise, an ex-cop turned private investigator--a man who definitely does not need his masculinity enhanced!

 

Review

A charming romance! Our heroine is an awkward genius who talks to her fish and spouts great facts about animal sexuality and is kind. Our hero is undercover as nerd...enough said.

 

The love that grows between these two is genuine. The plot is a bit silly but a nice frame for the romance.

 

We have a clean romance with only a great make out scene. The fish is awesome. The couple time is grand.

 

It could use a little updating with the VHS reference but everything else works well. The ending could be a little bit more but all in all a really pleasure fest of a read.
