About this eBook

Loss brings them together. Will their pact to raise an orphaned newborn help them find love and happily-ever-after?

English professor Elijah M. Clayton, Jr., has promised his dying cousin he’ll raise her unborn daughter, but he knows he can’t do it on his own. His search for a wife fails miserably until he meets Beatrix-35 at a speed-dating event. Unfortunately, the ASD he does his best to conceal turns his best hope into another failure.

Plumber Beatrix Glouster is convinced she’s finally met a good guy in Elijah-34—until his probing questions about babies and breastfeeding lead her to suspect he’s more pervert than perfect. After a pregnancy loss and divorce six years ago, she isn’t willing to settle. Then an early morning plumbing emergency brings her face-to-cute-backside with last night’s disappointment.

Their lives are forever changed when a call summoning him to the hospital interrupts an unexpectedly hot kiss. Navigating the landmine of emotional risks from an impromptu marriage and raising their orphaned newborn charge will require a profound commitment to each other and determination to find their happily-ever-after.

Comma Kaze is the first book in the Nerd Love series from USA Today Bestselling Author Mellanie Szereto.

Ratings and reviews

Within a few pages of beginning to read, I was caught up in the emotions, characters and their story. It was overwhelming and I didn’t want to put the book down! I loved this story! Tragic, touching, endearing, romantic, sizzling, just a great combination of feelings flowing so smoothly it was like hearing and seeing love. Several types of love, family, friends, heroes and many types of loyalty. Definitely add to your must read soon stack. I received a free copy of this book via Bookspr

If you are the least bit tenderhearted, do not, under any circumstances, think that you can read this book anywhere in public. This was an ugly-cry generating story and you’re going to want to curl up with it somewhere safe and comfortable, with plenty of tissues close to hand. My heart went out to Elijah and Beatrix. Both of them are dealing with things that would break lesser individuals, but they’re plowing ahead and living their lives the best they can.

I've read several books written by Mellanie Szereto; she is becoming one of my favorite authors. I can’t wait to read more of her books. This is the first book in the Nerd Love Series; it is a stand-alone book. The story is about Beatrix & Elijah.
