Publisher Description
If you love small town romance and quirky characters, you'll love this addition to The Dorky Series, featuring a fandom obsessed heroine and a swoon-worthy mute hero!
Fredericka “Fred” Klein has a simple plan: stay in Blue Falls, Texas, for a few months, heal from heartbreak, search for work, and save up money to move back to New York. Then breeze back into the city with a great job and a new life plan, ready to show her ex—and everyone else—what she’s made of. Like the Punisher, but, you know, without all the violence and eternal vengeance.
But when a silent giant of a man known only as Beast asks her to help him with dating, her simple plan starts to get a little complicated. While everyone else in town may fail to notice the intense, talented man beneath his wordless, Hulk-like exterior, Fred quickly finds herself drawn into his quiet world. His washboard abs and Captain America-worthy smile don’t hurt, but it’s his heart that makes it impossible for her to stay away. Beast has sacrificed his own dreams to care for those closest to him, and Fred soon realizes her own dreams could push them apart if she can’t find a way to change the script.
She’s only a visitor in Blue Falls, and New York City is calling. If she’s ever going to be the hero of her own story, she’ll have to leave behind the one person who makes her feel truly seen. She’ll have to let go of her heart… unless she can convince Beast to give up his.
Nerdelicious is a companion novel to the Dorky Duet Series and can be read as a stand alone novel.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
This refreshing standalone companion novel to Frame's Dorky Duet series charms with unforgettable characters and an expert balance of wry humor and tender moments. Fredericka Klein escapes New York for Blue Falls, Tex., to get back on her feet after a breakup. Six months later, she's still bunking with her best friend's grandmother, surrounded by the town's odd but endearing misfits. Fred's frequent habit of referencing nerd culture combined with the fact that she's "the most socially graceless person on the planet" tends to put people off. But Beast, a gentle giant who lost the ability to speak following a traumatic event, doesn't mind Fred's endless chatter. Though opposites, they're drawn to each other, finding a unique way of communicating that combines written word, technology, and sign language. Unlike her unsupportive ex, Beast reminds Fred that she's the main character of her own story, and that her passion is what sets her apart. But Fred knows she'll have to return to New York eventually and worries she won't survive another heartbreak. The story is relatively simple, allowing the eccentricities of the townsfolk and the heartwarming exchanges between awkward but charming Fred and earnest Beast to take center stage. Combining sparkling wit and sensitivity, this is sure to sweep readers away. (Self-published)
