The Geek Who Saved Christmas

De: Annabeth Albert

Narrado por: Tim Paige

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 right now, 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.

Contains mature themes.

Narrator was fantastic and the story was inspiring

I loved both the narrators ability to differentiate voices well and the main narrative was inspiring.

Holiday Rom-Com

It is a cute holiday romance. A good choice for people who like Rom-Coms, paired with some steamy moments too.

Pure love 40+ couple

No twist or cliffhangers- loved it. Beautiful to have a 40+ couple. So many romances are high school college or about to turn thirty. After that you don’t deserve a lot story. This is a cute opposites attract story.

The cutest!

Annabeth has this amazing ability to write spicy but cute all at the same time. She had a dazzle of pining and miscommunication and viola! - you have the best Christmas mix!

My new favorite holiday story (Hallmark movies can’t hold a candle to this!)

What a cozy, sexy, and FEEL GOOD story this is. I was drawn in instantly. That’s especially a good feeling as it doesn’t seem to happen to me with many books these days. Gideon and Paul, as well as the supporting characters, were all perfect. I was totally cheering for them, and the story unfolds in such a satisfying way. Hallmark holiday movies have nothing on The Geek Who Saved Christmas. I can’t count how many times I exclaimed or laughed out loud at certain exchanges (the funny ones and the spicy ones, the latter of which were done exceedingly well) and the full range of emotions were on display. Crying, too—I honestly teared up at a few key moments. This story was like a warm holiday hug, satisfyingly rich, and one I can’t wait to revisit next December. Well done, Annabeth Albert. And Tim Paige’s performance as narrator knocked it out of the park. He’s amazing too. There is so much to love here.

Sexy and heartwarming

Absolutely loved this holiday romance, from the narration to the writing. Great mix of appealing characters and cosy holiday vibes—but with some heat. Recommend!

A cozy holiday love story

I love this so much the book and the narrator, this book is so adorable.

I’m a sap for a happy endings

I really enjoyed getting to know the characters several of them and they were multiple happy endings!

Warm and Fuzzy!

Sweet, romantic and full of Holiday spirit! The main characters are funny, sarcastic and sweet. I will definitely be listening to this one again ;)
