Part of the Christmas Falls universe Ready, Set, Glow! is an grumpy sunshine low angst listen. Brought to life from Zachary Zaba.
From the blurb:
I see the irony of being the owner of a Christmas tree farm and hating the very holiday that keeps my family business alive, but Christmas Falls takes this season way too seriously with their festive business names to the sheer merriment that envelops the entire town.
I'm no grinch, but I can relate to one being surrounded by all this jubilance. It doesn't help when a new part-timer joins the tree farm and is the very embodiment of joy, starting from his name—Felix Joy.
He's ten years younger than me, and I feel the age difference every second I interact with him. His enthusiasm exhausts me, yet I can't stay away, even if it means I have to deal with the ridiculous nickname he forces onto me.
He's melting the fatigue of Christmas, but I'll never admit it. I'm ready for all the blinding lights to come down, for him to leave, and to finally get some peace and quiet.
Christmas Falls is a multi-author M/M romance series set in a small town that thrives on enough holiday charm to rival any Hallmark movie.
Molly Otto's review:
Zachary Zaba once again has done his magic in bringing this book to life. Just making these two characters as well as the rest of the cast to life. You are easily able to tell whose pov you are in, which is always helpful to not take you out of the listening experience.
The right balance of sweet and snark for this addition to the Christmas Falls universe. The Brooks family are a riot, and it was great to see how welcoming they were of Felix into the fold. Bruce may seem grumpy, but he just needed a partner who understood him and his priorities. Felix is just a little ray of sunshine who was needed to lighten Bruce up to be truly happy.
It was a sweet story but not too sweet where I lost interest. The banter was on point, and neither man let the other get away with crap.
