The Geek Who Saved Christmas was such a delight for the heart; low in angst, high in feelings, I was smiling throughout the whole book and I didn't want it to be over!
Gideon Holiday is a holiday geek; he has spreadsheets, plans everything, dresses smart and has bowties, but more importantly he loves the community of his little town and wants to bring the holiday magic to whoever needs it most!
Paul Frost is a grump; he never puts decorations nor illuminations, nothing, and his house is a never-ending work in progress. He wanted to be a Grinch again but his brother and girlfriend are coming for Christmas and he needs the visit to be extra magical.
Luckily Gideon is a planner and he gets thing done! Gideon will help Paul save Christmas and the feelings between them? Those are a very special bonus!
I loved how Grumpy Paul didn't stay grumpy for long, instead laughing more and starting to care about Gideon way more than he expected, after practicality giving up on finding someone because who wants a grump over 40 with a giant dog?? Gideon does!!
The story is full of fluff and emotions, and there's no unnecessary drama nor miscommunication. My heart still hurt for these men, but I also rejoiced at them having a chance at love, something they thought was never going to happen. Neighbours to lovers!! Love it!! I will reread it close to Christmas for an extra dose of holiday sweetness!
