The Geek Who Saved Christmas by Annabeth Albert
☀️☀️☀️☀️
This cheery, heartwarming Christmas romance ticks all of the holiday read boxes!
I had all of the warm fuzzy feelings reading this book. The plot is a unique take on forcing our MC's together, and one that feels believable in the context of the story. The pacing is really well done with their romantic progression not feeling too fast, and the minor episodes of miscommunication (which is my biggest gripe in books) actually felt authentic and natural.
Gideon and Paul are both well developed characters in their own right. Gideon is a breath of fresh air with his cheery disposition and well honed organisation skills. These qualities are perfectly balanced by Paul, who is much more pragmatic and quiet. Their age and maturity made for a wonderful comforting read that didn't fall into the pitfalls of young lovers making dumb decisions. Their sexual chemistry was really well done also.
This book was such a pleasant surprise to add to my December reading repertoire! I had a lovely time and would recommend it to anyone wanting a fun and fulfilling holiday read.

"I had waited years for Paul Frost to need something. A cup of sugar. A spare fan. An extra chair. He probably had me beat in the tool department, but I did have a drill I was rather fond of. And I would have let him use it. But this, this was even better. He needed something I was good at, and finally getting the chance to impress him with something other than my knack for forgetting the trash cans had me all bouncy."
