His grumpy neighbor needs some holiday sunshine...Gideon Holiday is the perfect neighbor. Need a cup of sugar? Spare folding chair? Extra batteries? He's always ready to help. And he's waited years for his hot, grumpy, silver fox neighbor, Paul, to need him. For anything. But this December, Gideon would be happy if he could just get the Scrooge-like Paul on board with the neighborhood holiday lights fundraiser. Paul Frost has no intention of decking his halls or blazing any Yule logs. Even if his spunky bowtie-clad neighbor does look perfect for unwrapping, Paul would prefer to hide away until December is done. But when his beloved younger brother announces an unexpected visit, Paul needs all the trimmings for a festive homecoming-and fast. Luckily, Gideon is there with a color-coded plan to save Christmas. Soon Paul's hanging lights, trimming trees, and rolling out cookies. And steaming up his new flannel sheets with Gideon. How did that happen? It'll take some winter magic to preserve their happiness and keep these rival neighbors together longer than one holiday season. The Geek Who Saved Christmas is a low-angst m/m holiday romance with a guaranteed happy ending. This grumpy/sunshine, neighbors-to-lovers, found family tale features two heroes in their forties figuring out that maybe their sexily-ever-after was right next door the whole time. It stands alone and is not connected to any of the author's other universes. However, it does contain a heaping helping of the same emotions and steamy moments readers have come to expect!

This was absolutely cute and campy as was expected. However That's a feature not a bug. Its blurb says low angst and it is,but that feeling of a relationship quickly developing only to see a clock ticking on it really resonated.
The main characters starts of stereotypical but as the story progresses, we do see the layers underneath that helps break the mold. I can't help but see a bit of myself in both.
The only knock against this was the dialogue. I had to read over some parts to get back into the flow of the conversation between the characters as there big block of background information between dialogue.
The ending was predictable, wanted and satisfying.
I have new thoughts on Christmas. This book has done it's job.
