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!
The plan is simple: stay in Blue Falls, Texas, for a few months to lick my wounds, search for work, and save up money to move back to New York. Then breeze back into town with a great job and a new plan for my life, and show my ex and everyone else what I’m made of. Like the Punisher, but you know, without all the violence and eternal vengeance.
So when a silent giant of a man known only as Beast asks me to help him with dating of all things, the simple plan gets a little complicated. Everyone else in this town might fail to notice the intense, talented man beneath the wordless Hulk exterior, but before long, I’m sucked into his quiet world. His washboard abs and Captain America–worthy smiles don’t hurt, but it’s his heart that makes it impossible to stay away. He’s sacrificed his dreams to care for those closest to him. Yet my own dreams will push us apart if I can’t find a way to change the script.
I’m only a visitor in Blue Falls, and New York City is calling. If I’m ever going to be the superhero in my own story, I’ll have to give up the one person who makes me see that I’m worth the effort. I’ll have to give up my heart . . . unless I can convince Beast to leave his own behind.
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)
Customer Reviews
Cute
Love the story. Emotional and heart warming.
Loved it
New to me author and I really liked this book. It was a nice twist to have the heroine be the older one in the age gap (not by much), the hero was the virgin, and he didn’t speak due to emotional trauma growing up. Nonetheless, Beast was the sweetest and gentlest soul. I loved how he and Fred fell for each other. Fred is the epitome of a fandom nerd and I am here for it. As a nerd by all aspects myself, I appreciated all her references. Looking forward to reading more from this author.
Beast!!!!
Beast has shown up in Mary Frame’s two previous Dorky series books. He never speaks. You get glimpse at him in these books. He is huge and always seems to be there when needed or to provide whatever is needed. But is anyone looking out for Beast? Well you finally get to learn why Beast doesn’t speak and much more in this book. I’ve enjoyed this series so much.
